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 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 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.

View 2 RepliesAfter 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.
Attached is the code.

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?
View 4 Replieslook at this code and see how i can speed it up? Its calling a sub to count commas in long string.Calling part 'Sort the incomming messages Dim count_Coma As Integer = CountCharacter(_InMessToAction, ","c)
The sub. This takes about 0.7 of a second to count 20 commas in string _InMessToAction. Was hoping to get it down to 0.1... if at all possible.

I want to convert a List (of Long) into a string array.
Reason: it's a list of database IDs and I want to make a comma delimited string to pass into a stored proc.I tried this:
Dim commaDelimitedList As String = String.Join(",", itemIDList.Cast(Of String)().ToArray)
but I'm clearly not using the Cast correctly since it throws an exception:
System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Int64' to type 'System.String'..
Is there a way to get Cast working for this, or am I stuck with ConvertAll and a delegate function?

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:

CA segment (CA is first 2 characters of segment) has fields defined as:
Field Name,Start,Length

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.
