Regex - .NET: Manipulating TextBox Input: Dash Every 5 Characters And Removing Special Characters?
Dec 21, 2011Essentially I am trying to replicate the Windows 7 (In-Windows) activation key TextBox form. The Form where it will auto capitalize letters, remove or deny all non alphanumeric characters except dashes every 5 characters that will be auto-input.I assume this can be done with a fairly complicated replacement Regular Expression but I cannot seem to create one to fit the needs.
This is an Example of what I have right now, but it creates an infinite loop as it removes all characters including dashes, than adds a dash, which changes the text and removes the dash again.

VB Mixing Characters When Change Position Of Two Characters In Word
Aug 27, 2011I'm making an application that will change position of two characters in Word.

Program works good, it is mixing characters good, but it doesn't write text to the file. It will write text in console, but not in file. Note: Program is working only with words that are divisible by 2, but it's not a problem. Also, it does not return any error message.

View 6 RepliesVS 2010 : Removing Characters From A String?
Nov 22, 2011I need to parse an alphanumeric string leaving the characters "0-9", ".", "/" and space & remove everything else. I use "[^0-9./ ]" as my regex string and it works well. But now I have a couple other conditions that I dont know how to handle with my regex string. I actually only want to keep the "." character if it falls between two digit characters (ie. 3.5), otherwise remove it. And also I need to replace any "-" characters with a space if it falls between two digit characters (ie. 2-1), otherwise remove it.

Removing Words/Characters From A String And Splitting Into An Array?

Catching And Removing Escape Characters In A Serial Comm Port Program?
May 18, 2010I have recently developed a serial port communication program to access my hardware firewall and its connected to the device via a converter usb to rs232head plugged to a rs232 to an ethernet cable. this ethernet cable then plugs into the device console port.
my program functions similar to that of TeraTerm. an opensource hyperterminal program written in C++ but i decided to do one for vb.net
Alright to cut the story short, i have successfully coded out the program to accept incomming data from the device but however, i'm also receiving ansi escape sequence along with it and i have no idea how i could implement codes to remove these. i have spend 3 weeks trying to look for vt100 emulation codes written in vb.net but i found none so far. most are written in c++. here's an image to illustrate the problem which im facing.
The image below is a screenshot taken when the i ran both the programs together. The bottom is tera term 3.1 and the top is my vb project which i made using msdn's example and improved on the codes. basically tera term was able to interpret those escape sequence and display accordingly to that of the vt100 terminal display. I have spent time reading on regular expressions using the inbuilt function regex in visual basic and tried parsing some strings but its not working. i guess its far more complex than i thought.

Strip First 75 Characters Of String And Maintain Word Structure?
Jan 31, 2011I am trying to strip the first 75 characters from various strings (sentences / phrases) and it seems right but I need to ensure that the no words are truncated in the process. Meaning that if the 75 character is part of a word it needs to fall back to the beginning of the word or nearest space..
I thought of stripping the entire string into separate words and then counting the length of combining the words and stopping when I reach the target but what do I do in the case when it is not a valid sentence just a bunch of characters jammed together or spaces and one character. I thought of using grammar parsing tool libraries and parsing into tokens etc but that seems too over complicated.
Here is what I have so far:
If htext.Length() > 75 Then
Dim regex2 As Regex = New Regex("^.{0,75}", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)
Dim m2 As Match = regex2.Match(htext)

Error When Getting A Substring Of X Characters Out Of A Parent String Of Less Than X Characters?
Feb 23, 2011Not sure if too many people know this, but the following line will cause an error:
GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_"
....if the length of GroupName is less than 3 characters. I always thought it would simply return whatever characters in GroupName, but no, it errors. I must be thinking of the old VB6 days.So, I now have to change the code to:
If (GroupName.Length > 2) Then
If (GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_") Then
Note that the two comparisons need to be on separate lines. If they are on the same line, such as:
If (GroupName.Length > 2) and (GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_") Then then the code will still fail as the length command is executed at the same time as the substring command- which will cause the error when the GroupName length is less than 3.Just thought that those of us not aware of this should be!

Replacing Characters In Textbox (including Special Characters)

Shape Of Really Large Characters Such As Numbers And Alphabetic Characters

1) Does anyone know of anything in VB.Net that can translate such shapes into a System. Drawing.Region or know of a project elsewhere that achieves this please?
2) While I'm on the subject, how would you SCALE UP / DOWN a System.Drawing.Region please? How would you work out the Transform Matrix required please?
