How To Modify String - Display A Minimap Made Of ASCII Character ?
Apr 19, 2011
I am working on a text-based game and as your character moves, you get informations such as the room name and below, a description (Lorem ipsum in the example) which is an array of string. I would like to know how to append characters to it. I am actually trying to display a minimap made of ASCII character. See the second bloc code for an example.
From:
code:
Into:
Room Name Here
code;
The game itself is made in VB.NET but a solution in pseudo-code is also welcomed. Also, each line's length is aproximatively the maximum length it must be.
The desired output must be an array of strings because this data is later send to a client connected using sockets.
I would like to pass a whitespace character by using the System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(" "), and System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(" ") , where " " is the whitespace Character required. What do I need to type (" ") to get a whitespace character passed.?
So I have an ASP.Net (vb.net) application. It has a textbox and the user is pasting text from Microsoft Word into it. So things like the long dash (charcode 150) are coming through as input. Other examples would be the smart quotes or accented characters. In my app I'm encoding them in xml and passing that to the database as an xml parameter to a sql stored procedure. It gets inserted in the database just as the user entered it.
The problem is the app that reads this data doesn't like these characters. So I need to translate them into the lower ascii (7bit I think) character set. How do I do that? How do I determine what encoding they are in so I can do something like the following. And would just requesting the ASCII equivalent translate them intelligently or do I have to write some code for that?
Also maybe it might be easier to solve this problem in the web page to begin with. When you copy the selection of characters from Word it puts several formats in the clipboard. The straight text one is the one I want. Is there a way to have the html textbox get that text when the user pastes into it? Do I have to set the encoding of the web page somehow?
I'm working on decoding a NMEA sentence that is a compressed 8-bit string. I'm having a very hard time of wrapping my head around the bit manipulation needed to convert this string. If someone could get me started with this it would be great.
I am writing a console application, which reads emails from different email boxes and processes through them. Emails are received from various automated systems. The email messages are logged and/or sent forward.
The problem is that some emails are encoded in UTF-8 and transfer-encoded in quoted-printable which messes up special characters (mainly ä,ö and å). I have not found any solution to convert them in readable format.
For example "ä" in quoted-printable is "=C3=A4". Using a normal conversion methods the result is "ä" (gibberish).
I shamelessly ripped this example conversion table from here: [URL]
[Code].....
So how do I get the real codepoint from UTF-8 value? I'd rather not use any external libraries. Besides I've tried a couple already and they failed.
I want to re-produce the equivilent of the DowArrow sign on a VB2010 Form label. label1.Text = Chr(ConsoleKey.DownArrow) doesn't work. The nearest character seems to be ASCII DEC 30 value., which will do fine, but Is there anyway I can reproduce this char on my form label, using one line of code, viz- label1.text =
I want to write the ASCII code chr(192) into a file but I dont know am I right.Is the function like this chr(192) or something different because it doesn't write the character 192 in the file. Or can someone tell me how to write something into a file using ASCII codes?
I'm Alan and I'm writing a little program (beginner), but I'm stuck and I can't get any further. So I hope one of you guys can help me solve following problem.Let me explain what I'm making, so it can give you all a better perspective.
For a this project I'm receiving data via the RS232 communication port. So basically I receive bytes. These bytes are converted to a string. So for example I receive this:"BAA" this is good because I can get the correct decimal value for "B"(66) and "A"(65) using the command asc("A") in .NET.but sometimes I receive a character that exceeds the 0-127 limit for example ""(128) (please see [URL]..But now when I try to get the decimal value of "" I get 63 instead of 128. I searched the Internet and forums for an answer but I didn't find one that fits my problem.
So if it's possible, can one of you code experts explain me how to fix this problem ? It would help me a lot. I hope I described my problem clearly, but if there are some questions,
I want to explicitly inform my user that they are not allowed to use any characters from the extended ascii character set (128-255). When I try to create a string of these values using the following [Code] It outputs them fine, with the exception of a bunch of blanks in certain areas(I am assuming these characters are unprintable), but I noticed that when I hover over the value of sVal in the VS, the tooltip/quickview of the value is written nicely on one line. Any ideas how to remove characters that would appear to be blank spaces (unprintable) when outputting this list?
I am receiving hex values for my step through debugging when I go over an integer. For instance if i have an integer of 1 it will show &H1, How can I get it to show the ascii character form instead of hex?
I am working on a client/server based application and I have run into quite a few snags stumbling my way through I have resolved quite a few issues, and need help with something new. I am using a TCPIP client/server and I find that at the end of each loop when I am reading the data from the network stream it appends a character to the end. I have tried removing the last character but I am not sure if it is getting the whole character successfully because I still get lots of different errors both in binary and xml deserialization whcih I think is related to this. Does anyone know the ascii code for the termination character for TCPServer/Client communications?
I Made a Tile Map And draw my character to it. All is well except gdi is slow. The map is 100,100. Can I draw my character over the map without redrawing the whole map each time? That Should make thing much smoother. Private Sub Face_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.Paint
The latest assignment from my teacher was to create a console program where the user enters a character and the respective ASCII value in Denary, Hexadecimal and Binary, Even Parity, Odd Parity and Hamming code is returned.I've managed to implement all of them except the latter with relative ease, I am familiar with the concept of Hamming code and can compute it easily by hand, but don't really know how to implement it as a function in my program. [code]
For each character of this string I want a new character out of the string and then remove the character from the list of characters that still maybe used for other characters. It may not get the same character, you could basically just call this encryption, but it's not what I am making. I don't want to waste my time doing this one hour while VB can do this for me in <1 second.
I read parameters from my ECU thru RS232 and display them on TextBox. But the display is ASCII instead of itself. E.g. I read 0x01 and store it in DataReceived, and set
Dim DataRecevied As Byte
TextBox1.Text = DataReceived
The value appeared in TextBox1 is 49 (0x31), which is ASCII of 0x01. How to display 01 there?
I am writing a hangman type game and I am displaying the word to the user in a label as all *'s, but I cannot figure out how to have just one of the *'s changed in the label to the correct letter when the user inputs the correct letter into the text box and clicks the check letter button.Everything else in the program works perfectly, except for this part.[code]When I use the .Replace it changes all of the *'s to the correct selected letter.
the coding is to 'Get input string and put its character into List, and replace the character with other.'but having problem putting each character into List and also replacing it,[code]
I've been working with the substring command and after coding up all the things I needed it to do, I saw a post on here where the "For Each" statement was used basically to do the same thing.Lets say we just want to take a string apart one character at a time and add each character to a label. Which would be more efficient?I made a cheap example to show ...
Code: ABinary = "0110 1100 0001 1011" For x = 0 To Len(ABinary) - 1
I want to launch an instance of InternetExplorer from my application. I also need to modify contents of specific web pages before the pages are displayed based on user settings (e.g., bold certain phrases within the page and/or include user-specific data on the page).

i'm currently making an app that needs to run a query between two dates. this app will run automatically, so i need to put the dates as today and yesterday, essentially.
I have a string which I've split into an array. I need to change a value in the array and join the string together. However I cannot set the value of the array variable as it's read only.Is there any way to do this without creating another array?

I created a bitmap, that is supposed to be displayed on the screen, in the middle. It will have to be on top of EVERYTHING!! Even if a full screen application is running, I want it to show. My questions are: Is it possible to even display a CUSTOM MADE bitmap on the screen?

Way, to promptly display to a listview all the changes that has been made to a database? I notice that every time I add new records to database it seems that it doesn't quickly display to a listview, unless I close and reload the form where the listview is attached.[code]....
I am having a bit of trouble converting a single stored in a string as four hex values. I believe my problem stems from some Unicode hex values not matching the corresponding ASCII hex value above 0x7F (127). For example, I have the following single stored in a string; "518.42" or 0x44019AE1. The char that would contain 0x9A if the data type were ASCII contains U+0161 which will not convert properly to a byte array. My question is: Is there any way to force a string to be of ASCII rather than Unicode? Or maybe there are other recommendations? For reference I have tried both of the following. The first throws a format exception and the second converts to the wrong single.
Private Function ConvertHexToSingle(ByVal hexValue As String) As Single Try Dim iInputIndex As Integer = 0 Dim iOutputIndex As Integer = 0
I've tried searching for this, but most people just want to convert hex values into their ASCII equivalents. That's not what I am looking to do.I'm looking to see if VB.NET has a simple built-in function to do this:
Private Function NibbleToString(ByVal Nibble As Byte) As String Dim retval As String = String.Empty Select Case Nibble[code]....
Is there a more elegant way to accomplish the same thing as that code?
I'm curently trying to get information displayed in a listbox from a selection made in a datagridview. For example a user selects an artist from the treeview control and it displays all the albums by that artist in the datagridview. Once a user selects an album all information for that album is displayed below the datagridview in either a listbox or listview control. I've tried dragging the conrols from the datasource and it' won't drag onto the listbox. What do I need to do to get it so that it will display album, artist and track information?
I am currently pulling data from a database into a comboBox. My intent is to have the description of the selected option in the comboBox displayed in a listbox. How to i get this data to be displayed in a listbox?
