I am trying to replace an entire word in a string.
This is my example string:
"Hello test this is testing".
I want to replace the word "test" with "abc". I want the output to be:
"Hello abc this is testing".
Whenever I try and use the Replace() function I get:
"Hello abc this is abcing"
How I can do this with Replace or RegEx
A little background... I'm trying to build a spell checking form. I have this lovely library: [URL] and it seems to be working flawlessly.
The problem I have is trying to replace an entire word and only the first occurence of the word.
Example: Replace the first instance of "foo" with "bar" in the following string
"foo foo foobar" and get this "bar foo foobar"
I've been trying regular expressions with no luck. Here are the patterns I've tried compiling(these are obviously tied to variables in my program):
"(?<!foo)foo"
"(foo){1}"
I also tried the built in string.replace method with a count parameter, but I have no idea how I would make that match the entire word.
Problem: Your task is to take input from the user in string and give the following options to the user in a menu.
1- Find a String
2- Create sub-string
3- Erase a portion of a sting
4- Replace a word in the string
5- Count number of words and characters in the string without spaces.
6- Capitalize first character of each new sentence and convert the rest
of the characters to lower case.
7- Sort all the words in alphabetical order. (Use Bubble sort algorithm to perform sorting).
To perform all the above mentioned tasks you can only use pointers. Create a function to perform every task.
i need to replace the whole word from a string.
for example. String= "Hi VBFriends, I am learning VB 2010."
i need to replace only VB as C#.
if i put String.Replace, its changing as "Hi C#Friends,I am learning C# 2010."
i used regex, Word boundary but not worked, below my code.
Dim sHTMLStream As String = "Hi VBFriends, I am learning VB 2010."
Dim oColl As MatchCollection = Regex.Matches("sHTMLStream", "\bvb", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)
For Each sTemp As Match In oColl
MessageBox.Show(sTemp.Value)
Next
I'm trying to replace a string with another but the problem is that the string is matching some other string partially.
For e.g. -
Dim x as String = "I am Soham"
x = x.Replace("am","xx")
After this replace I would only like the word am to replaced with xx but because my name also contains am its also getting replaced.
I am looping through a word doc where I need to find a string to replace and these are in text box's so I thought I could do something simple like this but its not working.

If strTxt = "textToReplace" Then

I have text file with a row like this:

make a program to replace the word followed by the selected. But I got stuck at the start..An Example:"My name is Dunley Mike and my father, Dunley Robin are on a holiday at the mountain. There they will meet the uncle Dunley Harry." So what I want to do is to loop through the text for the word Dunley (Underlined) and replace the First name (Bolded) (Mike, Robin, & Harry) to 'family'.
View 9 RepliesThe file reads in parameters and two of the parameters used to be in Date Format YYYYMMDD but will now permanently be in format YYYY-MM-DD. This change, I believe, is stopping the import of the file from working. I would like to replace the new format YYYY-MM-DD back to YYYYMMDD in the code. If possible I'd also like to see some output so I know that the old format has been replaced with the new format. The code is below. I added the two rows with .replace code in green in expecting that to be enough but it is still not working.

I'm trying to write a function to find a word in a string in the this format : "ThisissometextthatIneedtofindandthisisthetext. This is another text."It's read as " This is some text that I need to find and this is the text. This is another text." but there is no space between each word. I want to get the word "text" or any word in that string. Can you help me with this function with a code sample ?
And I think that this method can be implemented with a string of Unicode also because in a sentence of Unicode it contains one or few, sometimes zero spaces between each word.
I wana ask you if you think that's the best and the fastest way to replace <<words>> into a .doc file? I don't know other way and i think mine is too slow for doing this kind of job.[code]
View 2 RepliesLet's say I have an object that contains a Word property and a Sentence property. The sentence must use the word, and I want to replace the word in that sentence with a link using a public function (say, GetLinkedSentence). The catch is maybe the sentence uses a plural form of the word and maybe the "word" itself is actually a phrase, or is even hyphenated. There's no length limit to the word either. How do I find and replace this word (in ASP.NET, preferably VB) with a link [word])?

How can I replace character/word in text (loaded to richboxtext) but only for those which are not on the "block" list ?
Dim str As String = RichTextBox2.Text
RichTextBox3.Text = str.Replace("1"c, "A"c)
But I want add list of words which should be excluded. I thought that I can do something like :
Dim str As String = RichTextBox2.Text
If Regex.IsMatch(RichTextBox2.Text, "shows") Then
Else
RichTextBox3.Text = str.Replace("%"c, " "c)
End If
RichTextBox3.Text = str.Replace("1"c, "A"c)
Dim str2 As String = RichTextBox3.Text
RichTextBox3.Text = str2.Replace("2"c, "B"c)
But it's not working as it will just skip replace of % for whole text and I want just just exclude particular word from list from being replaced...

How would you replace a certain word from input to output? Like, if you type "Tigers are cool" in a text box I want the ouput after a button click to be "Lions are cool", changing 'tiger' to 'lion'. It should also be case sensitive so Tiger would convert to Lion, not lion.
