Parsing String - How To Extract Info Back
Jul 16, 2009
I've built a string using the Format method:
Format("[{0}{1} {3}:{4}]", var1.ToString, var2.ToString, var3.ToString, var4.ToString)
var1 to var4 are long type. Is there a way to easily extract the information back (other then the String.Split method) ?
Like: MagicMethod("[{0}{1} {3}:{4}]", formatedString, var1, var2, var3, var4)?

I have a task to resolve, it is regading extracting characters from a long string to the console, the extracted text shall be reformatted and saved into a CSV file. The string comes out of a database.
It looks something like: UNH+RAM6957+ORDERS:D:96A:UN:EGC103'BGM+38G::ZEW+REQEST6957+9'DTM+Z05:0:805'DTM+137:20100930154
The values are seperated by '.I can query the database and display the string on the console, but now I need to extract the Keyword 'ORDERS' for example, and lets say it's following 5 Characters. So the output should look like: ORDERS:D:96A then I need to extract the keyword 'BGM' and its following five characters so the output should look like: BGM+38G:After extracting all the keywords, the result should be comma seperated and look like:
ORDERS:D:96A,BGM+38G: it should be saved into a CSV file automatically.
I tried already:
'Lookup for containing KeyWords
Dim FoundPosition1 = p_EDI.Contains("ORDERS")
Console.WriteLine(FoundPosition1)
Which gives the starting position of the Keyword.I tried to trim the whole thing around the keyword "DTM". The EDI variable holds the entire string from the Database:
Dim FoundPosition2 = EDI
FoundPosition2 = Trim(Mid(EDI, InStr(EDI, "DTM")))
Console.WriteLine(FoundPosition2)

I'm creating a vb.net winforms application that will take in user given strings, parse them, and print out labels with variable information. The given string will be used in all the labels, but the variable part of the string will change with each label.
My question is: is it better to parse the strings one time, then store those values in arrays, or to parse the string each time a label is printed? Which will perform better? Which is better practice? What is the proper way to test something like this?

I have a main form with 2 splitcontainers. On the left is a richtextbox showing the clients details and how many active tickets they have open and cmd buttons which opens different uc's within the container on the right.What I am attempting to do is when a client raises a new ticket, that the global variable holding the ticket count number updates via a procedure and updates the richtextbox on the main form.The line of code that runs within the UC is:
formMain.SplitContainer3.Panel2.textUserDetails.Text = FullNameSQLString & vbCrLf & UserDepartmentSQLString & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "You have submitted " & Global_FCRCount & " ticket today."
The part I have highlighted errors with the following reason: 'textUserDetails'is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.SplitterPanel'.I have checked and double checked the form names etc and textUserDetails definately exists within formMain.SplitContainer3.Panel2.

I am using Streamreader to read a text file containing data such as the following:
IN;SC;PU;PU;SP1;LT;VS10
IN;SC;PU;PU;SP1;LT;VS10
PW5;PU4179,27448;PD4179,29951;PD3244,29951;PD3244,30286;PD5494,30286;PD5494,29951;PD4555,29951;PD4555,27448;PD4179,27448;
The final goal is to use the numbers next to the PU and PD characters to perform specific calculations.
Essentially, I think the code needs to do the following:
1. Read each block of characters ending in a ";"
2. If the block commences with anything other than PU or PD, discard it
3. Extract the numbers in such a way that calculations can be performed. The following is an example:
x y
PU4179,27448;
PD4179,29951;
[Code]....
Essentially, there will be hundreds of these rows and I will need to sum up the deltas so that a specific formula can be applied.
I have tried doing this a number of ways but each seem very inefficient (using text boxes to store/swap data and creating additinal text files are 2 methods I have tried) and so I'm looking for some direction.

I have a very long string. I need to parse this string so I can get information out of it. I know what each segment starts with and ends with. The length of the information will vary. I don't know what the easiest way of parsing this string.
Example data will be
ST*997*232898~AK1*HC*8888*~NM1*2*TESTING........
So i will want to get everything from ST to AK1then AK1 to NM1 and so on and so on.

I have a string array (strValues()) that holds a large quantity of character data. I need to parse out characters that follow "*PN" and end with "*". I then need to store this data in a datatable so that I can loop through it afterwards and pull out the unique records to be added to an existing dataset. I've been trying to use basic "IndexOf" to get started but it tells me "Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'IndexOf' accepts this number of arguments". Is there a way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?Sample data: MS50*CF3224205*PNineed/thisdata*SD07JAN10*ED21JAN10

After countless hours of searching I have been unable to get this code to work. If anyone can provide we with an alternative. I know the easiest way is to use the Split() function but im trying to do an alternative method by identifying the spaces within the string and splitting them up.
I tried the search function, but to no avail.

I'm trying to find a way to parse a string which looks like this:
1,394,7,0,0,0,0,0,,0,0,63,85,0,,0,0/2,595,59,8,0,0,0,0,0,,,0,0,,0,8,6,0/3,696,0,0,0,0,,,0,0,,84,0,0/#
So that it only reads the first two digits, then delete everything after that till it reads a "/", read the first two digits and delete everything up to the "/" again.This would result in this:
1,394
2,595
3,696
I don't know how to remove every character after the last of the first two digits up to the first / it reads, can anyone help me with that?How can I parse this code easily?

I need to parse a string that consists of fields in quotes, separated by commas. Using Split would work fine, but sometimes one of the fields has a comma in it. ie. "My Company, Inc","USA","12.50","125000"I'm just looking to get the fields into elements in an array. Can someone suggest a way to handle the embedded commas that are sometimes present?

I have files that are one long line of text but are made up of individual segments. I have managed to parse the segments into a string array but now need to parse each segment into its individual fields, based upon a field structure defined by the first 2 characters of the segment.For example:
CA12345ABC999999XXPPPPPPPP55
CA segment (CA is first 2 characters of segment) has fields defined as:
Field Name,Start,Length

I've written a little library to include in other projects that does some string parsing. One of the items I'd like to access as a property of the class is a string array.I can't seem to get the syntax right though. Even though the little project will build - when I add the .dll to my other project and create a reference to it, it gives me an error - argument not specified for parameter

As a matter of fact, I thought in VS 2010, you didn't have to use the get, sets anymore, but I can't seem to find the right example for what I'm trying to do.

I am having a string in CSV format.http:[code].....I can add new values to it by some mechanism. Everything will be same except the new values will have numeric part = 0. Take example I have this exsiting CSV string
1 , abc.txt , 2 , def.doc , 3 , flyaway.txt
Now by some mechanism i added two more files Superman.txt and Spiderman.txt to the existing string. Now it became
1 , abc.txt , 2 , def.doc , 3 , flyaway.txt, 0, Superman.txt, 0 , Spiderman.txt
What i am doing here is that this csv string is paased into SP where its splitted and inserted to db. So for inserting I have to take the files with numeric part 0 only rest will be omiited .Which will be further then converted into CSV string.Array will look like this
str[0]="1"
str[1]="abc.txt"
str[2]="2"[code].....
So at last i want to say my input will be
1 , abc.txt , 2 , def.doc , 3 , flyaway.txt, 0, Superman.txt, 0 , Spiderman.txt
Desired Output:
0, Superman.txt, 0 , Spiderman.txt
