View 3 RepliesI am trying to compare 2 strings from 2 listbox's, sort of a fuzzy match then output the results in a treeview I'm trying to tell it to split the words where spaces appear such as "The Dog Went Up The Hill",So that would see that as 6 words and then compare that to listbox2 which may contain "the dog went up the hill last night" which would the return an 80% match,but i just can't get my head round this, here's my code.
Private Sub Compare_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Compare.Tick
If ListBox1.Items.Count = 0 Then

Is there a simple way to compare and combine two strings? Example:
String 1 = "The dog jumped over the fence"
String 2 = "The brown dog jumped"
A function or something that takes those two strings and returns: "The brown dog jumped over the fence"
I have 2 text boxes and I load a text file in to each box, the files contents are "almost" exactly the same but not 100%. how would i compare the 2 against eachother and output the difference in percentage? I've made a program once before it was pretty cool it did all these things and it was in VB.Net i just cant remember how i did it.. i do know i counted how many of the sames words exist but i cant remember what else i did.

I suspect there is something wrong in my application, specifically in a part where I have to compare a couple strings and a couple integers.
I do something like this:
If myString = myOtherString Then
do something
End If
And the same thing for integers.
However, for some reason, it is not returning true... also, I heard somewhere there were more proper ways to compare strings and integers.
I have a Label and a textbox that both contain strings. I want to compare the two strings like this:
If TextBox5.Text = Label18.Text Then
Label4.Text = "CLOSED"
Else
Label4.Text = "OPEN"
End If
Something in there is not working however. Has anyone done something similar?

When i save data in my xml file i save a bunch of cities that the user has selected, i then proceed to load the data back into the program and populate the check fields besides the city
vb.net
'// Loop through each one and re-check them
For Each cityToCheck As Xml.XmlNode In nodeList
[code]....
This string stringSplit(0).tostring returns the city name say "Glasgow" i was trying to loop the listview that stores the cities, if they match then put a check mark, this is where the cities are located: (formAddCities.listViewCities.(FIRST ITEM IN COLUMN WHICH IS CITY NAME) the very first column in the listview, but i can't seem to get the right syntax?
I've build a list of Strings from files. The list itself is working fine (tried it by having ListBoxes and other controls loading its items from there just to make sure that this is not the issue). Now, I am using this list of strings to compare a Text in a TextBox1 while typing to determine if this TextBox1.Text already exists in the list. I am using the following code (where "s" stands for my List items):
Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
If TextBox1.TextLength < "1" Then
Button6.Enabled = False
ToolStripStatusLabel1.Image = My.Resources.pic_Add_Warning
ToolStripStatusLabel1.ForeColor = Color.Red

I am trying to write a program that will compare two strings in different text boxes. Then it must add 1 to a third text box for every time a letter appears in both text boxes. So for example if textbox1 said ABCDF and textbox 2 said ABTR it should return the number 2 because A and B appear in both.
This is what I have so far
Public Class Form1 Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles string1.TextChanged
End Sub
Private Sub Compare_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Compare.Click
Dim string1 As String
Dim string2 As String
Dim Result As Integer
End Sub
Function stringcompare(ByVal string1 As String, ByVal string2 As String, ByVal string3 As String) As Integer
stringcompare(string1 As string, string2 As string) End Function End Class
Say I have a List(Of Tag) with Tag being an object.

I am writing a program that executes on incoming mail (which I have that working), but I want this program to inspect the subject line for a 5 character string that will be in the format of AB123 (can be any 2 letters followed by any 3 numbers).

View 1 RepliesI have a large string in which I need to replace specific strings with other values. For example, within this string I might see the following characters: [[sub id=5]]. I am trying to replace those substrings with values, pulled from a table and based on the id. What would be the simplest way to accomplish this. My first thought was to loop through and examine each character and note their positions when they match the pattern. I would then have to identify the id. That would be fairly complicated, however, and there must be a better way.
View 2 Repliesso say I have a string called Cmd, and the text inside the string is Restarting server in ()..., what I was wondering was how I would go about inserting different substrings like 3, 2 and 1 in between the two parentheses?

I have made a code where I write a recipe to a file and then I can read from the file and it is output in a listbox. I need to allow the user to change the amount of people served and then the quantities change to suit the serving number. The serving number is input and the rest of the code works apart from the changing the quantities bit.
The code that I am using is below. I have no idea if i'm doing it right though.

secondstr = str.Substring(235, strLength) 'strLength is the total length of the string

Trying to write an app to load a Text file and then search for substrings that contains some specific characters to compose a list. Tried first loading the text file into a StreamReader then search line by line for my substrings. Had to write a lot of code to identify my strings, but it worked ok. Then tried loading the text file into a RichTextBox then use RichTextBox.Find(......) to look for my substrings. The " .Find" property makes the code really simple, but using RichTextBox the app was really slow.
Using Stream the loop was completed in about 2 minutes and using RichTextBox in about 30 minutes! I will need to make a lot of searches and using RichTextBox is lots easier, but is too slow. Is there any way to perform search operations using Streams instead making a loop and go looking line by line??? Or what else would be a good solution to search for strings in a text file??
I am a little bit confused by the following VB statement
commands = Regex.Split(script, _
"GO", _
RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)
I know what regex.split does. I know what the first parameter is. The second parameter is what I'm confused by. I think it is using the word "go" as a delimiter to split the first parameter into an array of substrings. But I don't understand what that refers to.
how can i track how many times a specific word appears in a text box then display the number of times found in a message box?
for example if i type this in a textbox: today is really hot, it is not very convinient to be outside, it is better if we go swimming
and i am looking for the word "is" troughout the sentence, it appears 3 times yet I am not sure how to make a code so it does count the times "is" is being found and then display it with a message:
"your word is found 3 times in this sentence"
I am trying to write a program that separates a string into 2 substrings.Lets say I need the entire string to be 15 letters long.I need to break the string up so that the program reads it as two words.Lets say that the first word has to be 8 letters long and the second word has to be 6 letters long.So if I type it like this: Computer Screen
That should be 15 letters including the space between the two words.I need the program to read the string to make sure that the entire string is 15 letters long and if its 15 letter long continue, but if it is not 15 letters long stop and give me an error.If is 15 letter long next the program needs to read and make sure that the first word is 8 letters long and if it is print out the first word and continue but if not it needs to give me error.
Lastly if the first word is 8 letters long it needs to read and make sure that the second word is 6 letters long and if it is print out the second word and then continue, but if it is not give me error.The problem I'm having how to declare the first and second word and substrings, can someone please help me understand how substrings works and declare them after I have declared a string.
