I am trying to get a random word in VB and was wondering if it was possible to do this through the internet some how? For example If there was a website that literally just contains random words (anything over 100 will do) and I could just select a random word from it? I can create random letters and numbers but I want a word that would be in a dictionary.
View 5 RepliesPrivate Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Btn5vowel.Click
Dim rand As New Random
Dim alphabet As String
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To 200
alphabet = ChrW(rand.Next("A"),to ("z")
It is giving me that the expression must be expected. I have to choose and display the fifth vowel from the list of 200 random words.
I'm trying to make a form that will read my wordlist. txt (one word or phrase per line) then using a timer, insert one word randomly selected from the list, and display it in textbox1 where it will remain until another timer changes the word. The word in the textbox will display for a random time 1min to 7 min, then the textbox displays another word randomly selected from the word list.
View 1 RepliesHow would you select a random word from an array list. Here is my coding:
'Create a sub which reads the words from the file and selects a random word.
Sub ReadWordsFromFile(ByVal fileName As String, ByRef RandomWord As String)
'Create a random number generator.
Dim RandomNumber As New Random
Dim words As New ArrayList

1. Is it possible to have vb.net piece together a legitimate word of a specified length, or do I need to have a massive word list, and generate a random number to pick a word from this list?
2. I also need to separate each letter of the word and display an image for each letter, and each letter going to the next based on a timer, and can also repeat on a button click.
Eg: TWO would end up displaying T W O, a few seconds apart from each other.
I am making a program which generates Tambola Tickets. The program reads a list of movie names from a file and it randomly selects x no. of names per ticket and writes those names to a file.
For e.g. imagine there are 24 movie names. The program has to print 10 tickets and each ticket will habe 12 names.
I have written a program which does that but I think my random no. generator is repeating a few movie names pretty frequently.
plus I have to ensure that no one ticket can have a name repeated.
Dim NoTickets as Short = 10, Total as byte = 24 ' total = total movies in array
' Duplicate is function that ensures that no number is repeated
' MovieList is normal array with movie names

I am using VB2010 and currently have a random letter and number applicaation but for some reason students dont seem to have the ability to type these in correctly!Does anyone have some code to put words from text file or string into a text box.

I have a text document. i want to click a button and 10 random words out of the 196000 words shown in a textbox or listbox.
View 5 RepliesI currently have a list of words in a text file sorted in to alphabetical order and put into lower case, but I would like to be able to also display the line numbers on which these words are associated with.. but only one instance of.
For example,
"This is a random text
file that I
have just made
up this second"

As you can see above, I would like to show that "this" for example appears on line 1 and 4. Hopefully tabbed so that it keeps a nice look to it.
I'm trying to create a program that produces random sentences as output. With five arrays of strings, one each for nouns, adjectives, verbs, prepositions, and articles. Each array should hold several words for that part of speech. Like, the Articles array could hold the strings "the" and "a"; the Nouns array could hold "Martian", "baby", "skunk","computer" and "mosquito"; the Prepositions array could hold "around", "through", "under", "over", and "by"; and so on.
It's supposed to generate sentences by randomly choosing eight words (randomly generating eight array indices) from these arrays, always constructing sentences by using the parts of speech in the following order: article, adjective, noun, verb, preposition, article, adjective, noun. Also, the code should be properly modularized so that the code to generate each part of speech is not repeated.
Downloading the string would use too much, is there a way i can read it straight from the WebPage without having to download it? It's a a two row table.

Dim result = fruits.Where(Function(fruit) Not fruit.Except(letters).Any())
If I have this list:

And I input "p a p l e r" then it would return "apple" and "pear", but if I enter "a p l e r" then it would return just "pear". The idea is to return all words, which can be made of entered letters without duplicating any single letter. How to optimize this Linq code?

View 2 RepliesI recently had some problems with the performance of the Word object model. In an add-in that I wrote for Word I need to parse through all the words of a document and replace some of them or ask the user for the ones that have multiple replacements. I know that it is faster to ask Word for all of the document text content at once and then process it and put it back all at once again, but this is not suitable for my add-in because I need to have access to the range objects that represent the words that have multiple replacements so that I can somehow mark them in the document and present the user with a tool tip from which he can select the replacement he wants.
So for the moment the single great speed improvement that came in my head was multithreading since most people already have dual core or better. The problem is that all the things you find on Google say that multithreading in Office is a very bad thing to do.
So is there any one who managed to do this in a manner that worked in most of its usage? By this I mean if it also worked on other PCs then the development one?
I have 4 string lists as follows
Dim input_list As New List(Of String) Dim input_POS As New List(Of String) Dim trigger_list As New List(Of String) Dim trigger_POS As New List(Of String)
I want to compare the contents of the input list (containing words (e.g., want, the) etc. to the ones of the trigger list (containign again words) and if a same entry (i.e. word) get the POS for both input word and trigger word from the relevant lists and put them into a property list. For example
input list (want, the, right)trigger list(want, there, wait)input list POS (verb, article, adjective)trigger list POS (verb, pronoun, verb)
Output property list (want:verb, want:verb) (only want is common between input and trigger list). Then I need to conduct a test between the two property items for similarites. If they are exactly the same, the code should output a confirmation "i.e., Yes" into a textbox. If not the code should output a "No" plus the contents of the property list into a textbox.
I would like the autocomplete list of a textbox to be the words that the user has previously typed and saved. For example if they enter "dog", "cat" and "fish" I want the autocomplete suggests to show these three options. So far my Code only shows the last user input. I expect there is an easy solution as I am new to all this, but I can't seem to find it on my own.
