How can I parse out undesireable characters from a collection of data?I am working with existing VB.NET code for a Windows Application that uses StreamWriter and Serializer to output an XML document of transaction data. Code below.
Private TransactionFile As ProjectSchema.TransactionFile
Dim Serializer As New Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(GetType (ProjectSchema.TransactionFile))
Dim Writer As TextWriter
Dim FilePath As String
Writer = New StreamWriter(FilePath)
[Code]...
Because TransactionFile cannot be converted to String I get a "Conversion from type 'Transaction' to type 'String' is not valid" message.Bottom Line = How can I replace CRLF with a space when it shows up in TransactionFile data?
I have a multi line text box that accepts Enter and tab as input, but this data needs to be saved without these characters. When the user loads this data, the text should be displayed as it was originally entered.In PHP, there is a function to replace line breaks and tab characters with and , and with \. I need a similar function here.
I want to Replace a string with space here string is comming from DB, here string looks like as followes (This is my first name : "rama" and my second name : "krishna") so now i want to replace the above String as ( This is my first name : rama and my second name : krishna ) So i want to replace " this with Space..
The original string is like this: sLine = " 1 Screen"
What I want is this: sLine = "000001 Screen" (I do want to keep the space between the number and the text, so that is why its not just a replace) What I see with the following code is this: sLine = "01 Screen" Some how the replace does the first char, but then is not adding the zeros to the rest of the string, its just removing them (somehow I think it must think integer? [Code]
How could I have streamwriter write a , terminator for every space? For example if I have a line that reads "Hello World!" I would like streamwriter to write Hello , World
I'm still in the learning stages sorry, and this is probably simple to most of you but I couldn't find the answer through searching.I'm trying to work out how to replace each successive space in a piece of text with a single character from "% $ ! @ #" in that order, and loop.
Easier to explain with an example;say I have the text: "This is a piece of text I am using as an example."
It should end up looking like this: "This%is$a!piece@of#text%I$am!using@as#an%example."
I want to select a random space in a string and replace it with a word (%word%) but there is a problem. The position cannot be fixed as i want it to be inserted at a random break. Few things which iam considering :
1)break the string at a space and merge it with the word
2) find a random space and replace it with the word. I like this point and so far all i have is break the selectedtext into string array and then iterate over each line. But i don't know how to find a random string position? Any short and sweet code please?
If (rtfArticle.SelectedText.Length > 0) Then Dim strArray As String() = rtfArticle.SelectedText.Split(New Char() {ChrW(10)}) For Each str3 As String In strArray
how can i replace the enter key event present in an ASP variable with a white space i tried a lot but bad luck...Actually there is no character like vbCrlf or <br> in the string actually I am getting ...it is an enter key event present in the string taken from a textarea ..... My attacks on this issue:
How would i get a certain text inside a textbox to equal that text space to space or null to space?
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click If Textbox1.Text.StartsWith(Textbox2.Text + " ") And Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(Textbox2.Text) Then Textbox1.Text = Textbox1.Text.Remove(0, Textbox2.TextLength) Textbox3.AppendText("a") End If
Btw: after i finish this step my project will be finished!
If I paste code snippets, or debug.print text with CrLF line ends, to the Immediate Window they line ends are ignored and the text appears as one long string. This is very annoying behaviour on the Immediate Windows part. How do persuade the Immediate Window to honor line ends?
I have a situation where data in a field contains CrLf characters. Code has been in place for a couple of years and many records have been affected.Should I add code to catch the CrLf characters at the field level?Should I add code to catch and possibly correct the data before it is uploaded to SQL?Should I modify the upload to catch CrLf characters and possibly correct the data in the upload procedure?Whichever approach is more appropriate, how do I identify CrLf characters and then correct it.
I am working with existing VB.NET code for a Windows Application that uses StreamWriter and Serializer to output an XML document of transaction data. Code below. Private TransactionFile As ProjectSchema.TransactionFile

If I set the Text property of a RTB to a string that has CrLf's in it, it seems the RTB reduces the CrLf's to a single character & screws up the positioning to set the SelectionStart property.So, for example, if I know the position of a character in the original string & I set the Selection Start value to that position, the selection highlighting will be off by 1 character if the start position is preceded by a CrLf & off by 2 characters if preceded by 2 CrLf's, etc.So how can I determine the correct position to specify my SelectionStart value?
I need to split the Filepath in my Windoes Forms pplication in order to get the correct part of 'Import Project' file. I think I need to use the split(vbCrLf) control to do this but am having problems coding it. I have included my code(so far) and have underlined the area where I am confused. the code?
I had an interesting bug today when sending plain text emails from our system. We format messages like this: -1st something happened blab bla. -2nd something else happened blab blab blaa bla. Today we had an email that looked like this: -1st something happened blab bla. -2nd something else happened blab blab blaa bla $1000.00 -3rd Something happened. So above, we see that we lost the CrLf but only on the message that didn't have a period and ended in 0. I went through the code and found the CrLf is intack up until we send the email. I tracked the code down below, I am guessing it applies to C# as well:
I've found this strange behaviour, I'n using vS2010 sp1 on a x64 machine in a class library project (VB) with FM4.0, there is added automatically an crlf to the concatenated string using string.format() funtion, you can reproduce this using the following lines of code:
I am using a picture box. I want to be able to use the Space or Enter key to change the image in it. For that, I try to use the keydown function as follow:
Private Sub ChestWindow_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown Select Case e.KeyCode Case Keys.NumPad1[code]....
is the function which changes the image. It works well when I press '1' on my numeric part of the keyboard as a test.The issue is that when I press Space or Enter, the form containing the picturebox closes. (I've already put the keyPreview property to True)
The 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.
Public Sub Main() Dim R1, O1, P1, C1, strDateFrom, strDateTo, strRunDate As String
I'm working on a timekeeping application in Visual Basic 2008 and am having trouble formatting a timespan for display. Here's how I want to the information:If a positive number my Label will be: lblTimespan.txt will show as "12 Hours And 15 Minutes" This works fine.If its a negative number I want to display it as "(12 Hours And 15 Minutes)'[ in red. The problem is that I can't get rid of the minus sign. [code] Thr Replace doesn't seem to want to replace the "-", can anyone suggest what to do?
I have a bunch of object variables which are all initialised in their declarations such that:
Private _myObject As New ThisObject("SomeString")
where ThisObject is one of a number of object types, but all are initialised using a string.
I would like to use the Visual Studio Find/Replace dialog box to search for "As New" then replace everything from "As New" to the first set of speech marks with some text such that:
EDIT
My original example could be solved using other methods. This example is more representative of the actual problem:
Private _myObjectA As New ThisObjectA("SomeString") Private _myObjectLongName As New ThisObjectLongName("SomeString")
I am trying to filter out all unwanted characters from a string. All I want in the string is letters A-Z, numbers 0-9 as well as comma (,) plus (+) and quotes (").I figured how to do the letters and numbers, but the 3 special characters are giving me a problem. I also tried with the Chr(34) equivelant for the " sign, but no luck, as and " or , messes up the way the code is read. Here�s what I have so far, but it only works for A-Z and 0-9:
