Find A Word In A String In Eng And In A String Of Unicode (no Space Between Each Word)?
Mar 6, 2009I'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.
Obtain A String From A Byte() Without Mangling Its Binary Contents?
Mar 14, 2012I have a language that generally contains serialised data messages in a human-readable format, but some productions within the language contain verbatim raw, binary data.My parser uses String for its buffer since that seems to be the easiest thing to work with. However the data is read from a network socket into an array of Byte.
Now, I'm trying to connect the dots between Byte() and String:
[Code]...
But my data is still mangled. I haven't actually been able to deduce yet precisely how the data is being mangled, but I do know that the length of the data is changing, indicating that the bytes are not being left verbatim.
So how can I obtain a String whose contents are just a verbatim copy of the bytes from my Bytes() input?
Find Only Whole Word Not String Within Word
Jul 20, 2009I am trying to create a function that searches each line of a richtextbox and returns that row if one of many search phrases are found.The app works wonderfully when used with longer words or muli word phrases as the search criteria.The problem I have is if the search word/ criteria contains a small string such as bae or sp then I get alot of false positives. Anytime bae or sp is found within any word it returns the results.I need the function to stop looking within the words for results and instead look at the word as a whole for a match.Below you can see that I am taking each line of text in the richtextbox, removing most non-alpha numberic characters and replacing them with spaces.Then I have it remove any double spaces with single spaces.For the search term list I have it take the text before the delimiter;and do the same.Trouble I am having is,if the search term is SP and the search phrase is "This is a space shuttle lauch"it will return the sentence since the sentence contains the word "space" which starts with sp.[code]

Determining Whether A String Is A Word Or Not?
Apr 1, 2009I've got this problem where I'm supposed to be determining whether a string is a word or not. not exactly.Its supposed to just make sure each string has at least 1 vowel, and each vowel is surrounded by consonants. If it meets those requirements it'll be accepted, if not it'll be rejected, but I've already got that part figured out. I think I know a horrible way to do it, that would take a very long time, but I'm thinking there has to be a much easier way..

Extract The Specified Word From String?
Aug 18, 2011I am receiving data from other computer over tcp/ip and the received type is below...
"Info,Reply:Timestamp 75ff, SpecificID c07c343aInfo,Reply:Timestamp 76ff, SpecificID
c07c3089"
In the above string, i want to get only BOLD string value.
Sometime the data would be "Info,Reply:Timestamp 75ff, SpecificID c07c343a" and
sometimes it would be many repeated value like
"Info,Reply:Timestamp 75ff, SpecificID c07c343aInfo,Reply:Timestamp 76ff, SpecificID
c07c3089Info,Reply:Timestamp 75ff, SpecificID c07c345aInfo,Reply:Timestamp 76ff, SpecificID
c07c3088..."
Some people say I will be able to get them through regex.
But I don't know how to make regular expression for getting this value.

Match A Word In A String?
Apr 18, 2011I'm currently trying to match a word in a string - to a word in an 1 dimensional arrray.
So it does this.
1.Goes into array, gets first word.
2.Looks for that word in the string.
3.If can't find it, go to next word in array.
4.And so forth until it finds it or runs out of words in array.
Problem is the string can be upto 2000 characters long. And the Array with the possible matches can have upto 8000 entries.
So when it runs, if the word begins with 'A' it finds it dead quick as the 'A's are at the top of the array, ordered alphabetically. This is great.
But if the word starts with 'Z' then it takes 4-5 seconds before finding it.
I'm basically using InStr to find the word in the string.

Approach On Finding Next Word In A String?
Apr 2, 2009any other approach on finding next word in a string. What im trying solve is this.
Lets say this is the whole paragraph.
Hello visual basic
Hello visual basic
Hello visual basic
Hello visual basic
Hello visual basic
Hello visual basic
now i search for the word basic.if i press the button find. the first "basic must highlighted, and then if i press again the button the next "basic" is the highlighted one and so on.I already finsih that scenario. What i've done is that first im going to search all the positions of the word and then store it in a array. Then after the array populated with different location of the word that is searching. that is the time i call all the indexes of the array one by one. But i don't want my approach because imagine i have 10000 words. and i search for a word or letter. Lets say the result is 5000 match. so it needs my array to be size in 5000. what a mess in memory.
I don't want to used the FinsString or Find function of VB i want some algorithm to do this. Anyone have a easy approach..

View 2 RepliesCounting Word Occurences In A String?
Nov 9, 2010I am attempting to write a very basic console application which simply counts the number of times a word appears in a sentence. This sentence is input by the user, as is the word to look for.(I also need this search to ignore the full stop and case, but I'll try and do that myself)For example:
Sentence: "This is the last time that I'll say this."
Look for word: "this"
Expected output "2" (as "this" appears twice in the sentence)
I have written some basic code below, however, the output is a boolean value rather than a count of all the times the word has been used.I have a very limited knowledge of VB, so the solution is probably going to be long winded and simplisitic. I am a mature student at university, hence the reason I am writing these odd looking applications.

Move Position Of Specified Word Within String
Dec 9, 2009I have a string
Example: Dim strList as String = "one;two;four;three;five;six;"
I want a function which will take in two values. a word, and a direction
Example: "three;" , "left"
I need to move move the given word "three;" further to the left until it finds the next occurance of ';'
Example: place the value "three;" just before the value "four;"
Result: "one;two;three;four;five;six;"
I will also need to move it to the right, assuming a direction of "right" is sent into my function. But I can figure that part out once I get the other concept working.

I've used the Mid function but it wouldn't work if the amount of characters in the string changed. The string isn't automatically coded in as it's a text file that's uploaded.There are multiple words I need to find within the string also.
