View 8 RepliesI'm having difficulty with some strings of varying 'meaningful' length from a different database (not under my control) that I am trying to trim in my vb.net code.
I only want to remove TRAILING whitespace... therefore, I can't really use .trim method.
The reasoning behind this being that the field sent from the french database usefully uses a <space> to represent a 0 (as you do).
The string is always the same length but the meaningful length can vary, an example being 95WO<space>5CA<space><space><space>...etc
Or it could be this...
<space><space>WO<space><space><space>... etc
Or this...
<space>5WO95CA<space><space><space>...etc
I've got my methods in place to split the string into pairs and perform various lookups but until I can remove the trailing whitespace I'm a bit stuck
I have text like this format "term: 156^^^:^^59 datainput" Or "term: 156^^^:59 datainput" or "term: 156:^^^59" The "^" represented white space. Notice the white space between the the two numbers and the colon. There 2, 3, 4 or even 7 white space between the two number. I want to remove these white space so that the text can be in this format:

Does anyone know if there is a command to remove extra whitespace (blank lines) when coding?
View 8 RepliesI am trying to learn how to use the tcplistener and tcpclient classes. While I am attempting to compare something that is sent from the client to the server it seems that it adds a bunch of spaces, the reason I know that is if I write to the console what was sent it adds a bunch of spaces at the end. Is there anyway to get rid of it and just get the original text. I tried trim() but that didn't seem to work but I could have been using it improperly.
View 30 RepliesI would like to pass a whitespace character by using the System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(" "), and System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(" ") , where " " is the whitespace Character required. What do I need to type (" ") to get a whitespace character passed.?
View 6 RepliesI am trying to remove all whitespace from a text file and store each character into an array. Is there any way to combine all the lines together without leaving any whitespace? I tried the .replace method but it only removes whitespace for each line. It currently shows like that, but I want it to be 1 whole block of text without whitepace in every line:

i'm working on a project after returning to coding after four years off and i'm a bit rusty. My problem is that i'm creating a login page and i've got a few people with two last names. in the login box they would put their full name but in the database they have spaces between them. An example would be the name mighel santa anna.

I need to split a string at all whitespace, it should ONLY contain the words themselves. How can I do this in vb.net? Tabs, Newlines, etc. must all be split! This has been bugging me for quite a while now, as my syntax highlighter I made completely ignores the first word in each line except for the very first line.

Is there any way in VB.NET to remove all of the whitespaces between tags in HTML? Say, I've got this:
<tr>
<td>
The string I've built is an entire HTML document, and it counts everything before those tags as legitimate space, so I need to trim it out. Is there a reg ex or function out there I could use to do this?
There is an option in Visual Studio (since as far back as I can remember) that allows you to see "Whitespace" in your code. This is often seen in file differential viewers as well.
I'm wondering if anyone knows how this can be accomplished in VB.net (or any other way) so that i could use a similar type of display option in my software.
I have not yet tried to do this but my only first thoughts would be to override the "paint" of the textbox to actually add the little tab "arrows" and space "dots" manually via GDI, or create a texbox control from scratch. Seems to me there could be an easier way to do this.
I am developping an app which talks across a network and will eventually be used to read in a text file (on the client) and transfer it to the server. Currently, the server and client succesfully connect to each other using the Tcplistener/Tcpclient classes. I am now trying to send some data across the network using the networkstream class, which I have implemented.Currently for testing purposes i am sending a char array which contains the characters "hello" which succesfully sends and outputs to console on the server. Although, "hello" is followed by a long list of whitespaces. I have tried converting this to a string array on the server and/or client and using the string.Trim() function (amongst trying many other things over the past couple of hours) although the output remains the same.
View 19 RepliesI am getting extra whitespace characters rendered in my horizontal list of anchor tags below. This is causing a major CSS styling issue for me. I know this question has been addressed as far as a C# workaround is concerned (asp.net mvc razor extra space), but can anyone help me with a VB workaround? I don't have the advantage of curly braces to eliminate all whitespace in a single-line If condition.
I have managed to work around it for now by writing an HtmlHelper extension method, but this dynamic code is only used in one place (the master layout page). It seems to me that this should really be done in the .vbhtml page. Here is the erroneous code, along with commented-out attempts at workarounds. The goal is to create a horizontal list of "sibling" pages based on a site map, with slightly different styles for the current page's link and the link just before it. [Code]
I have an ASP.Net 2.0 textbox which I need to be validated as having some content, but where whitespace alone is valid input. A required field validator seems to reject a pure whitespace input as invalid. A regular expression validator won't fire at all on empty content. Is there a simpler way round this than using a custom validator control?
View 1 RepliesI have a BindingSource that is my DataGridViews data source. I want to filter for all rows where column1 is blank. For example, one row may contain a null value, some rows may contain just white space, and other rows may contain text. How do I show just the rows with text (or numeric, or date) values?
Also, how do I filter for non-blank rows? This would show me all rows that contain a blank cell.
Me.BindingSource.Filter = ?
I have a web application where the user uses an HTML editor to input some formatted text to show on the website. This text is stored, as HTML, in a database. It turns out now, after some time, that users are sometimes entering whitespace (newlines, spaces, etc) before and/or after the text they are entering, and this whitespace shows up in the rendered text on the page. Multiple sets of this text are displayed top to bottom, and due to this whitespace the separation between bits of text varies, which doesn't look very pretty. So, I've been asked to get rid of the whitespace automatically.
Seemed like an easy task at first, I'd just call Trim on the string. But that won't work, the 'whitespace' when rendered isn't actually whitespace at all, it's a bunch of <br /> or <br> or <br></br> tags, or spaces such as, even empty paragraphs <p></p> sometimes. So calling Trim won't help, I need to get rid of all the tags that would render as whitespace.
The HTML editor control I'm using may or may not have built in support for this, but it doesn't matter, the database is already full with texts that contain these newline tags, so the best option I can see is to simply trim this whitespace before displaying it on the page. [Code]

I'll have a go at describing the algorithm which I think is intuitively obvious - (for a particular selection) make each token on a line as left as possible, but not more left than any token of the same index on any of the other lines.
I would like to know how to remove part of a text file between two points

I don't know whether it is simple or not because i am new to programming. my requirement is : In my vb.net winform application, the filenames of the files present in "D:Project" willbe displayed in DataGridView1 control. Now I want to load these files one after another into memory stream buffer and add the headers("ID","Name","Class") to the content in the file. Then I want to save these files in "C:" with "_de" as suufix to the filename i.e.,sample_de.csv.
View 1 RepliesI created an application that when a user logs onto their Windows account, a Form is displayed outlining the current Computer Usage policy set by the insitution and gives the user two options either Agree or Dis-Agree. The two options are in the form of buttons, with events that depending on what the user clicked, will create a log text file at a specified location, with enteries of Date,Time,CurrentUser, and if they agreed or disagreed. If they agreed the application after creating/amending the file will then terminate, otherwise it will update the file and then force Windows to logoff the current user.
Now I made a shortcut of the .exe of the application and placed it in the startup for all users, and yes the application loads at startup for all the users following the procedures mentioned above. The problem I am facing is, that if the current user logs off, or is forced to log off, and another user logs onto Windows, goes through the whole ordeal mentioned above, the application is denied access to the logfile that was created under the previous user, and thus crashes.
So my question is, how can I created a text file using vb 2008 application, that is accessible by multiple Windows users. I have even tried changing the location of the created file to the shared folder, but the end result is the same.
I'm looking for a way to (easily, by preference ;)) create a download link to a file on a separate file server.The situation is as follows: the application I'm developing (asp.net 2.0 in vb.net but I have a similar issue in c#, either solution works for me) will be run internally for a company.As is good practice, the file storage and web application are on two separate servers.I basically need to be able to create a download link to a file, the only available URL i have to access the file is servernamefolder1folder2folder3file.txt (can be any sort of file)[code]Which doesn't work for obvious reasons. It used to be set up to write that file to the application path itself and that worked perfectly, but it isn't good practice and that's why I'm changing it (or trying to).I read solutions about creating a download page and then having a table in your DB which holds the links and returns the proper web URL for download but the time constraint I am faced with unfortunately doesn't allow me to develop that.
Assuming I can provide a string with the full filepath to the file like the above, what is the easiest way to just create a link that, when clicked, downloads the document? I have 0 admin rights in this environment. That really isn't helping me. Let's assume I am given the correct link like above and have the appropriate file access rights and such.The above example does work in IE, but not in Firefox and Chrome. IE converts it to a file://servername/... link which does what it's supposed to, but FF and Chrome both actively decided that this is unsafe and have disabled it from their browsers.
is there a way to remove the vocals of an mp3 file using C#/VB?
like is there a class (or downloadable library) that helps us do something like this: new Mp3File("song.mp3").RemoveVocals().SaveTo("song edited.mp3")
Btw it doesn't have to be specifically mp3, if it can handle at least 1 type of audio file i'm good to go
I have a textbox that the user must put the path and file name into like so
"E:configsserver2config.cfg"
I wrote and tested the code I did to grab the "E:configsserver2" part without the file name so that I could reference other files such as images within the same directory level. I will post only the code that is meant to grab the path as it's where the problem is. So don't worry if you don't see any dim statements for variables as they are there.
'Get file and path from textbox
fileV = loadTB.Text
'The starting index of the string counting back to the begining
countDown = fileV.Length - 1
'Get the path of the file so that we can find the images
