In this exmample textData is a string of text and alpha is a single letter a through z or A through Z. I don't need the criteria to be case sensitive, but I do need only the first letter of textData to match alpha. I have tested the LIKE comparator and it does not return all records that begin with alpha.
I want to take a string from a text box and split each letter of the string into an array. Then, I want to take the first item in the array(the first letter of the string)and capitalize it. Once I've done all that, I want to combine the array and convert it back to the original string it was, except I want the first letter to be capitalized(I've already placed this into a variable.)
Here's what I've come up with so far:

I have to scan through documents. Excell, Word, txt, ect looking for company names that match a pre-difined list of companies.I then email the companies some specifics in regards to that doc.The problem I have been having recently is that the list of companies keeps growing and I am starting to miss some more than I used to.What I would like to build is a tiny app that has 2 Text boxes.1 on the left for input (where I would copy/paste) the document text I receive.and one on the right for the output where it will highlight any line that contains the name of any of the pre-defined companies.
I started toying with the idea and so far I have form with a SplitContainer. Within that SplitContainer each side has a TextBox... Below the Textbox on the left hand side splitcontainer I have a submit button with no actions currently assigned to it.
I have a binary converter I am attempting to build and want to read and convert the InputTextBox(alphabetical characters) letter by letter however all I have so far is one letter at a time

I am a vb newbie having some trouble with an assignment. A user enters a letter into a text box, and the output must make the letter uppercase and tell what position the letter is at in the sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog."

This is what comes out: "A first occurs in position -1". Everything comes out except the position is always displayed as -1.
Is it possible to change to colour of letters as they are typed.I.e
Piece of text says
"Hello World"
when user types "H". The "H" in the original would change if matched and then so on and then when "Hello" is matched it would change to another colour.
I'm using a timer control to highlight text letter by letter one every second. Timer1.Interval = 1000 How can I give the user access to this variable so the speed can be changed?
View 7 RepliesI'm a VB beginner.I wonder if it's possible to change the text style letter by letter?I've learned here that you can change the entire style of text like

TextBox1.Font = myStyle

View 7 RepliesIn javascript I know you can put for instance if date= "2010"* which would do the if for the string if it starts with 2010 but it doesn't matter what comes after that.
View 4 RepliesI want to check each of the strings in an array (currently in a hashtable, but that shouldn't necessarily matter right?) with the user's input, if the words in each of them match. This might have sounded a little tricky so let me elaborate.
Problem: Comparing an input string with a collection of strings, and know which string in the collection matches the input string the most - based on words. What I'm trying to do here is a chatbot that works with keywords. For example, in the bot script, you could find "HOW ARE YOU" and the response "I am fine." If the user then sends input to this bot, it could look like this: [Code] This may not sound like a tricky thing, but the tricky part comes when I want to know which of the strings (e.g. "HOW ARE YOU") match the input string the most, based on the words.

View 6 Replies1 within each section of a SplitContainer. The left hand side will be for inputing text that is copied/pasted from a word, excell, or text file.The right hand side would be for my output. What I would like it to do is return just the rows from the left hand side that contain a match to any one of the predifined strings. This will be used to search large lists of company names and circuit IDs and return the rows with matching namesSo far I have the form created, the Splitcontainer in place along with the richtextbox on each side and a submit button at the bottom.
View 12 RepliesI'm trying to find a way to have text that would be "Live" as in if a user types an incorrect phrase/letter in a text box, a message will appear prior to a "save" button being pressed. It's pretty much the same as when you're registering on these forums, it checks the availabilty of the username as you type it.

In VB6 datacombobox there was a property that you could set that filtered the item list as you typed in the combo box (extended matching I think it was called) so that as the user typed more characters in the box the filtering progressively narrowed down the number of items in the list.The .net control does not seem to have this facility, or does it?Do we have to programatically do it now?

View 5 RepliesI have a list of names of players and their names in some game. Now an administrator of that game might want to contact one of the players by sending him a message. He does that by writing a command that basically has the format "tell <player> <message>", where <player> is the name of the player.The problem is simple: player names might be quite complicated and long (it's their screen name not their real name), and it would take the admin quite some time to find out how to spell the name exactly and he will probably make a few mistakes. Basically, having the admin type out the exact name is not practical.So I am trying to implement a 'fuzzy logic' search (is that even the correct term?) but with a twist, I guess.The idea is that the admin can type just part of the name and is even allowed to make a couple mistakes. For example, suppose a player has a screen name of "Mr.Smith34", then the admin should be able to type, for example.[code]
The problem now is that there can be absolutely no ambiguity in which player is meant. Instead of sending a message (which is quite harmless) the admin should also be able to 'kick' or ban someone from a game server, banning them from ever playing there again. Obviously, the admin should then not accidently ban a player named "Mrs.Smith" when he meant "Mr.Smith"! My solution (unless someone else can come up with something better) is to just not allow the command if there are multiple matches. If the admin searches for 'smith' and there are multiple names that are similar to 'smith' (maybe even 'sith' or similar) then I disregard that search and tell the admin he needs to try again with a more specific name.(If all else fails he can always look up the ID of the player and use that, which should be foolproof as long as the admin doesn't make a mistake and picks the wrong ID..., but that is even more work it does not have preference).But this brings further problems. The example I just gave might be good: suppose there's a player "Mr.Smith" and a player "Sith". If the admin searches for 'Smith' then there should be no question who he meant (Mr.Smith), but I am sure any fuzzy logic implementation would count Sith as a very close match... Another thing is that my solution of only allowing the search if there is just a single match probably wouldn't work. I have never used fuzzy logic searching before, but I can imagine some names being marked as 'slightly similar' even when they are completely different ('smi' might match 'smith', but also 'ims' perhaps, in which case it would possibly match a whole new range of names), even though 'for humans' it is clear which result is meant.
I am assuming any fuzzy search would return the matches and rate them according to how similar they are to the search term. Perhaps I can choose some kind of cut-off value, where any matches that are less than 30% similar (I've no idea just guessing here) are assumed not equal whereas higher ranked matches are assumed a possible match. Perhaps this makes it easier (perhaps harder, I dunno), but I forgot to mention that the search term cannot contain any spaces. Player screen names can contain spaces though. I am thinking to just strip out the spaces of each name before starting the search, but perhaps there are better solutions in combination with fuzzy searching...
I'm trying to design a words game that's give you the first two letters from the word and you insert the rest to make a word (for now I'm just using "co" as example and I have just one table in the database for it). The word will be written in textbox to be compared to a database field. If the word exist in the field the word will be displayed in a label with blue color and the score will increased by one if not the word will be displayed in the label with red color. This should happen three times with three words and I have different label for each one.
the name of my database is database1 and it have one table "A" wich contain "Comp" and "word". I tried this game with array of word before and it was working. Now I'm trying to use database instead of arrays but its not working. [Code]
How to match one value to another value in same text file. For example I have a this value : 116.71 33.3 in my text file. I want to check whether another same value exist in a same text file or not.
I used this code to find my first value
Do
myLine = myReader.ReadLine()
Loop Until myLine.Contains("*+*+* Top *+*+*")
Do Until myReader.EndOfStream
myLine = myReader.ReadLine()
[Code] .....
Once I get the value I want to check another same value exist in the same text file or not.
Basically the first letter of a string must be a certain letter. At the moment the only way I know how to do it is as follows:
If sConsignmentNo(0) = "J" Or sConsignmentNo(0) = "C" Or sConsignmentNo(0) = "U" Or sConsignmentNo(0) = "N" Or sConsignmentNo(0) = "H" Or sConsignmentNo(0) = "S" Or sConsignmentNo(0) = "V" Then
Basically listening the same thing out over and over. Is there a way I can say, If sConsignmentNo(0) = ListOfValidEntries i.e J,C,U,N etc?

I'm working on an ASP.NET application that uses VB. I'm using a SQLReader/SQLCommand/SQLConnection within the VB file to try to pull data values.I was mystified to find out that the reason why the query wasn't returning any values, and someone here showed me how to troubleshoot the query to verify things were being returned, which they weren't.
I talked to a co-worker, and he asked if it would match because I was feeding a string, and the Text field for the database is an nvarchar. How can I declare the variable in VB so that when fed in as a parameter for the query, it can match?The types of data it looks to match are just basic things like "2", "2a", "1a", and so on.If there's no way to just declare the nvarchar, does anyone have a suggestion on how I might workaround that?
Side note: This is a continuation, of sorts, of this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/768052/sql-reader-saying-no-values-exist-query-seems-fine

View 6 RepliesI have a program with 136 textboxes.
I want to be able to take a string that is entered into a textbox, and then put character 1 of the string in Textbox1, char 2 in TB2, char 3 in TB3, etc.
Also, how do I check the length of a string, like strlen in PHP?
So I have a string "New". What is the simplest way to convert that string to "New". Basically right now I'm doing this:
Case "NEW"
makes = connector.GetMakesByYear(_AuthorizationKey, "NewCar", CDate(Now), Year)
Case "USED"
makes = connector.GetMakesByYear(_AuthorizationKey, "UsedCar", CDate(Now), Year)
And I would prefer not to use a case statement because it's only one parameter that needs to change, and both are appended with "Car".
I can't figure out the syntax for searching an array of stored words for a string matching an input string. I understand the pseudocode of it, but I'm tripping up over what variables I need to put where, and how they should be formatted. More than happy to provide more details should anyone request them.

I am using vb.net to parse my own basic scripting language, sample below. I am a bit stuck trying to deal with the 2 separate types of nested brackets.
Assuming name = Sam
Assuming timeFormat = hh:mm:ss
Assuming time() is a function that takes a format string but
has a default value and returns a string.
[code]....
I could in theory change the syntax of the script completely but I would rather not. It is designed like this to enable strings without quotes because it will be included in an XML file and quotes in that context were getting messy and very prone to errors and readability issues. If this fails I could redesign using something other than quotes to mark out strings but I would rather use this method.
Preferably, unless there is some other way I am not aware of, I would like to do this using regex. I am aware that the standard regex is not really capable of this but I believe this is possible using MatchEvaluators in vb.net and some form of recursion based replacing. However I have not been able to get my head around it for the last day or so, possibly because it is hugely difficult, possibly because I am ill, or possibly because I am plain thick. I do have the following regex for parts of it.
Detecting the parentheses: (w*?)((.*?))(?=[^(+)]*((|$))
Detecting the square brackets: [[(.*?)]](?=[^[+]]*([[|$))
