If I try to draw a circle by using e.g.
Code:
e.Graphics.DrawEllipse(Pens.Red, 50.133, 100.321, 0.1, 0.1)
I will get an error message. I tried something like
Code:
Public ObjectPoint As PointF
Dim cpoint As New PointF()
cpoint.ObjectPoint = New PointF(startX, startY)
e.Graphics.DrawEllipse(Pens.Blue, cpoint.ObjectPoint, 0.4, 0.4)
but it didn't work for the location and the circle size. How to draw a circle(and rectangle) by using floating point numbers?
My coworker needs me to write him a regular expression for his vb.net app.I do not know vb and he does not know regex.The regex he needs is:/.*web id: ?(d+).*/iBasically he needs to search a string for something like "web id: 345" or "web id:2534" and retrieve the ID.He took what I gave him above and was able to put this together:
Dim strPattern As String = ".*web id: ?(d+).*"
Dim strReplacement$ = "$1"
GetWebId$ = Regex.Replace(LCase$(strNote$), strPattern$, strReplacement$)

I'm sure it can be done easily with a regular expression, but I just can't get the hang of it.
I need a regular expression that requires at least ONE digits and SIX maximum. I've worked out this, but neither of them seems to work. ^[0-9][0-9]?[0-9]?[0-9]?[0-9]?[0-9]?$ ^[0-999999]$
View 4 RepliesIt seems up until now I've never used Regex, nor even heard of it. But once I did I realized how extremely useful this is. Having said, it's been 2 days since I've began looking into constructing my own patterns. My most recent being for decimals. Is the pattern I provided below "proper"? and are there also any improvements I could be making for a more efficient patter, which would minimize any possibility of a loophole? [code] So for my use, this is doing what it's supposed to being doing under every test I can through at it. But do mind the 0. and .0, I have a function to normalize these as they are proper, I just pad the left and right accordingly. I found most regex questions asked here..and yes I am doing this in vb.net so it fits. If not, then feel free to move this post somewhere else better suited for the topic of discussion.

View 5 RepliesThis is a related to a previous question I have asked here, see the link below for a brief description as to why I am trying to do this.Regular expression from font to span (size and colour) and back (VB.NET).Basically I need a regex replace function (or if this can be done in pure VB then that's fine) to convert all ul tags in a string to textindent tags, with a different attribute value for the first textindent tag.For example:
<ul>
<li>This is some text</li>
<li>This is some more text</li>[code].....
Basically I want the first ul tag to have no indenting, but all nested ul tags to have an indent of 20.
I have written code to pull some data into a data table and do some data re-formatting. I need some help splitting some text into appropriate columns.
CASE 1
I have data formated like this that I need to split into 2 columns.

column is the first 11 characters That is easy.column 2 should contain all the text after the first 11 characters up to but not including the first number.The last column is all the text after column 2
I know it may be quite easily for you. i have a text which contains 40 lines, I want to remove lines which starts with a constant text. check below data.
When I used (?mn)[+CMGL:].*($) it removes the whole text , when I use (?mn)[+CMGL:].*(
) , it only leaves the first line.

I am pretty good with perl regular expressions but evidently I am at a loss on why this doesn't work.The code below stores "Person Test" in output variable.
im output As String
Dim userName As String = "Test, Person"
Dim re As New Regex("(w+),s(w+)", RegexOptions.Singleline)
output = re.Replace(userName, "$2 $1")
So why doesn't the following code store "#Test##Person#" in output variable.
Dim output As String
Dim userName As String = "Test, Person"
Dim re As New Regex("(w+),s(w+)")
For Each Match As Match In re.Matches(userName)
output &= "#" & Match.ToString & "#"

I have a large ASP.NET project where I want to do a mass search and replace (about 3500 instances)
I want to change
If strErrorMessage.Length > 0
If strSomeString.Length > 0
If strWhatever.Length > 0
and any other similar call to the Length method from a string to the following
If Len(strErrorMessage) > 0
If Len(strSomeString) > 0
If Len(strWhatever) > 0
Anyway to reliably do this in one shot?
I can do a search and replace for something like If *.Length > 0 --> If Len(*) > 0
This just won't work though as it won't understand how to rearrange it properly. Currently have VS2010 and N++ at my disposal.
How to determine when floating point limitations will cause errors in your calculations. For example the following code.
CalculateTotalTax = function (TaxRate, TaxFreePrice) {
return ((parseFloat(TaxFreePrice) / 100) * parseFloat(TaxRate)).toFixed(4);
};
I have been unable to input any two values that have caused for me an incorrect result for this method. If I remove the toFixed(4) I can infact see where the calculations start to lose accuracy (somewhere around the 6th decimal place). Having said that though, my understanding of floats is that even small numbers can sometimes fail to be represented or have I misunderstood and can 4 decimal places (for example) always be represented accurately.
MSDN explains floats as such... This means they cannot hold an exact representation of any quantity that is not a binary fraction (of the form k / (2 ^ n) where k and n are integers). Now I assume this applies to all floats (inlcuding those used in javascript). How can one determine if any specific method will be vulnerable to errors in floating point operations, at what precision will those errors materialize and what inputs will be required to produce those errors?
I am writing a custom totaling method for a grid view. I am totaling fairly large numbers so I'd like to use a decimal to get the total. The problem is I need to control the maximum length of the total number. To solve this problem I started using float but it doesn't seem to support large enough numbers, I get this in the totals column(1.551538E+07). So is there some formating string I can use in .ToString() to guarentee that I never get more then X characters in the total field? Keep in mind I'm totaling integers and decimals.
View 2 RepliesI've got the following Visual Basic code:

Dim LBase, LAdjacent, LOpposite As Double

Both equations should be equivalent: I've simply replaced L16 with LBase, L23 with LAdjacent and L45 with LOpposite. Yet the first equation outputs 3586 while the second outputs 3587.

I am having an issue where I am using regex.Replace to replace part of a string. The basic idea is that I want to capture the beginning of the string then replace the end of the string with a value from code. For an example pretend I have a string that says "Test Number " followed by number and I want to increment that number. I capture the "Test Number " but when I try to concatenate that capture with the new number it treats the capture ($1) as a literal and replaces the entire string with $1[new number].
[code]...
This will output "We are on Test Number 2", as expected. how I can use a variable in the replacement string portion of the Regex.Replace when including a captured group?
I am trying to think of a regex replace to replace double quotes with nothing. Example:
hello("hi there") would become hello(hi there)
"hi" would become hi
"example "3" would become example "3
-edit Maybe an easier way to explain this is, replace all " that do not have a backslash before them.
