I have a string like this:This <span class="highlight">is</span> a very "nice" day!What should my RegEx-pattern in VB look like, to find the quotes within the tag? I want to replace it with something...This <span class=^highlight^>is</span> a very "nice" day!Something like <(")[^>]+> doesn't work :(
View 5 RepliesThis should create a desktop shortcut but instead it spits out an error that is because of the quotes inside quotes. They need to be there, I know this is the problem as I have tried without them and it has worked. Another problem though is that it creates the shortcut (when Idon'thave quotes in quotes) but wraps the whole TargetPath in quotes making the shortcut unusable. Here is my code:
Dim input As String
Dim s As String = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("UserProfile")
input = TextBox1.Text

Is there any way to use selectnode with the attribute having both single and double quotes? If we are having single quote in the attribute we can use like below,
nodeList = root.SelectNodes("//book[contains(title,""'attribute'"")]")
If we are having double quotes we can use,
nodeList = root.SelectNodes("//book[contains(title,'"""attribute"""')]")
how can I use an attribute ['attribute"] having both single and quotes in SelectNodes.
Dim hmm As String
hmm = "HELLO"
Console.WriteLine(hmm)[code].....
The Output of this Code is HELLO But how should i get it in double Quotes as"HELLO" This has to be my output in double quotes.
If I try to display a command line argument that has double quotes around, the double quotes are always stripped off. How can I avoid this?
for example, the argument is "c:xx.txt" and this displays c:xx.txt instead Console.WriteLine((My.Application.CommandLineArgs(4)))
I have a xls file, or a csv without quotes, and using vb.net need to turn it into a csv with quotes around every cell. If I open the xls/csv without quotes in MS Access, set every column to text and then export it, its in the format I need. Is there an easier way? If not, how do I do replicate this in vb.net?

This form works in VB .NET
sendMsg = "<CStatus timestamp=""0"" " & _
"type=""login"" " & _
"cid = """ & cID & """ " & _
"key=""" & loginKey & """ />"
But I can't get it work in C#
sendMsg = "<CStatus timestamp="0"
type="login"
cid="" + cID + ""
key="" + loginKey + "" />";
It does not give the same effect. I want this as an output:
<CStatus timestamp="0" type="login" cid="var_cid" key="var_key"/>;
Is there any stringXml command in C# or another way to use double quotes in string?

I'm using some code to read a text file line by line, the thing is it can contain speech (or double) quotes in the line of text, is the a way of getting rid of them, I've an example line from the text file below.
01 john "job" asd123
I need to lose the quotes around job
Suppose I have a text string like this..
<The dog needs to go out "">
In the event the string ends with "">, I would like to isolate it. The end goal is to only write out text that looks like this:
<The dog needs to go out "now">, where a value exists between the quotes.
Here's my code:
If chk = "" Then
I've tried nesting chr(34)'s around it and all kinds of other things. I just cannot seem to interpret the quotes. Basically, I am appending an XML file from a database.
Code:
Private Sub AppendFile(ByVal textFileDirectory As String, ByVal textFileFile As String, ByVal textStringToPass As String)
Debug.WriteLine("textStringToPass: " & textStringToPass)
' If the last two characters of the string are "" then skip
Dim a As Integer = Len(textStringToPass) - 1

Dim rgx1 As New Regex("(?<=FileID=).+?(?=FileStats)") 'find the information between these two

Wholefile = xReadFile.ReadToEnd()'and this too
MsgBox(rgx1.Match(Wholefile).Value) ' displays integer

I'm trying to compare the selected item in a combo box to the items in a collection in search of a match. There is guaranteed to be a match because the combo box was originally populated from the same collection. This is the code I'm using:
[Code]....
This code works for other collections but not for this one. In this case, the loop stops after the first iteration, regardless of what's selected in the combo box. I have confirmed that the collection contains the correct data and that there is a match for the combo box options. The only difference between this instance and other instances is that the values in the collection and in the combo box contain a double quote at the end. I suspect this is what's causing the error. (To be clear, there is no error message, it's simply not returning the correct value.) I've tried various string compare methods but none of them have fixed the problem.

My program creates a CSV file, this works fine and each line created is correct except it does not have a double quote at each end. How does one add a double quote to the beginning and end of each record without the program thinking it is a formatting function.[code] Although neither method caused an error, neither did they achieve the desired result. Is there an easy way to do this that works?

I'm trying to match on some inconsistently formatted HTML and need to strip out some double quotes.
Current:
<input type="hidden">
The Goal:
<input type=hidden>
This is wrong because I'm not escaping it properly:
s = s.Replace(""","");
This is wrong because there is not blank character character (to my knowledge):
s = s.Replace('"', '');
What is syntax / escape character combination for replacing double quotes with an empty string?
I have a problem with double and single quotes in a string.I have a textbox where i take a string from.In the textbox are double quotes and single quotes quotes.Problem is that if i return the string all the single quotes are replaced by double quotes.How can i get it to keep the single quotes as single quotes?
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to run batch files code within Visual Basic. I've been told you can do this using the Shell command, however I'm running into trouble with double quotes.As the Shell command syntax is Shell("codecodecode"), I'm not sure what to do when the batch file already contains quotes.
For example, how would I use the code:
copy "file location" "destination"
I have this string in vb.net. let me know how I can enclose the values in double quotes
dim str as string=""str.Append("EmpID=" & empNo & " DeptID=" & deptID & "")
I want the value of string to be EmiID="10" DeptID="20"
can let me know how I can enclose the values in double quotes
dim str as string=""
str.Append("EmpID=" & empNo & " DeptID=" & deptID & "")
Bascially, all i'm trying to do is change the value of an attribute (such as the TARGET attribute of an A anchor tag) to "_TOP" if the attribute exists, if it doesn't exist, (if IsNull returns True) then I just create the attribute and set the value to "_TOP".The problem is, it almost always sets it without quotes around it, and even if i try to set it with quotes by setting .value = Chr(34) & "_TOP" & Chr(34) then what it does is it sets SINGLE QUOTES around the quotes I place (it's like a bad joke) and turns up in the HTML as '"_TOP"' (lol), and if I set it normally, its just saved as <a href="..." target=_TOP>some link</a> (without quotes).[code]I've changed the above variable names & turned vars into strings ("target") etc to make it easier to read for anyone reading.
I have wasted heaps of hours on this, MSDN docs are as usual horrid, there is no real documentation or tutorial on this stuff either. I've even tried using .nodeValue instead of .value to do the setting, but makes no difference. Also, I've tried (in the Else section) removing the attribute and re-creating + re-adding it from scratch to see if this would make a difference, but it didn't.Of course, quotes are important because if you try to perform an action (call a method) on this element or use it later, you will get the dreaded "unspecified error". I do this through the WebBrowser Control in VB6, but same principle should apply everywhere... C#/.NET/JavaScript etc as it seems to be DOM related).since posting we realized that if we pass the attribute name in uppercase, then the value is saved with double quotes around it. although this is not a real solution (just a temporary one), i am still looking for answers if anyone has one and accepting any thoughts you may have about this in this post. However, the temporary solution has created another sub question, being a post about the problems that arise from using this temporary solution. The sub question related to this temporary solution is located at the following link for those who may find it useful or interesting to read about, and for those who would like to contribute to this discussion further: Must pass uppercase to set MSHTML element attribute (.setAttribute) correctly, why? And CaseInsensitive .setAttribute doesn't work
I need to remove all quotes from an image tag found within lots of other text. For example, I want to make

into

I'm using vb, and need to use a regEx specifically for the img tag and not use replace. The img tag can be in a block of other text, so I need to use regEx to search for the <img and then within that until I meet a /> I need to remove all quotes.
