Removing Several Substrings From A String?
Dec 17, 2009
Alright I am taking an XML file which has a bunch of tags and I'm trying to eliminate everything but whats inbetween certian tags for instance the input maybe
- <w:p w:rsidR="00254C13" w:rsidRDefault="001173CF" w:rsidP="001173CF">
- <w:pPr>
- <w:tabs>
[Code].....
unless they say they are safe. Average consumer can protect themselves>not knowledgeable enough to always protect selves</w:t> I want to go through and remove those end tags but when i used the remove string it didn't let me specify a string to remove it the two arguments were where to start and how long. how do i specify what to remove?

so say I have a string called Cmd, and the text inside the string is Restarting server in ()..., what I was wondering was how I would go about inserting different substrings like 3, 2 and 1 in between the two parentheses? I know about Cmd.Insert() but I don't know how I would make it go between the two parentheses.

I'm trying to split a string into 2 subs. The first contains the first 236 (0 to 235) chars and the second one from 237 to the end of the string.
firststr = str.Substring(0, 235)
secondstr = str.Substring(235, strLength) 'strLength is the total length of the string

I am trying to write a program that separates a string into 2 substrings.Lets say I need the entire string to be 15 letters long.I need to break the string up so that the program reads it as two words.Lets say that the first word has to be 8 letters long and the second word has to be 6 letters long.So if I type it like this: Computer Screen
That should be 15 letters including the space between the two words.I need the program to read the string to make sure that the entire string is 15 letters long and if its 15 letter long continue, but if it is not 15 letters long stop and give me an error.If is 15 letter long next the program needs to read and make sure that the first word is 8 letters long and if it is print out the first word and continue but if not it needs to give me error.
Lastly if the first word is 8 letters long it needs to read and make sure that the second word is 6 letters long and if it is print out the second word and then continue, but if it is not give me error.The problem I'm having how to declare the first and second word and substrings, can someone please help me understand how substrings works and declare them after I have declared a string.

I found this function that replaces multiple substrings within a string on the internet but it gives an error on one of the parameters.It doesn't like this one:
ByVal ParamArray FindChars()) As String
Can you look at the code and correct the error since I don't yet know about explicitly typed parameters?

Public Function ReplaceMultiple(ByVal OrigString As String, _
ByVal ReplaceString As String, ByVal ParamArray FindChars()) _[code]......

i've done some basic parsing with text files before.
Scenario is i have 4 textboxes String (which contains the string i'm wanting to parse) sub1, sub2, and sub3. so the string is ex. 500000-1-2
- is the char that is the seperator
so the aim here is to get
500000 into sub1
1 into sub2
2 into sub3
the real string i'm wanting to parse is much more complex, but i'm keeping it simple here for a jumping off point so i can figure the rest out.

I had a quick question. I'm desiging a program that users can enter a currency (dollar amount) in a textbox. Since the string I declared will be based on what the user typed in and I want to convert it to a decimal, I want to remove a "$" sign if the user made one.

I'm trying remove non-letters from this string I have. I have an order form for hats and T-shirts, they select everything and click on buy button there order info shows up in a listbox. For the results in the listbox I break down there order info and show there total price. Well the string I have for the sizes comes up with Medium "7 1/8 - 7 1/4" in the list box. I want to remove non-letters and have it just show "Medium". I try using the instr function and the trim function as well but nothing is happening.

I have a string that has three spaces in it.
In the following examples, underscores represent the spaces:
Quote:
_x-xx-xxxx_x.xx.xx_xx
I need to remove just the first space. Now, i tried just replacing the space with nothing, like so:
VB.NET
If s.Contains(" ") Thens = s.Replace(" ", "")End If
But, that removes every space. I also tried .StartsWith, but it still removed every space. I didn't actually expect that to work, but if I hadn't tried it, I wouldn't have actually know.
how to remove just that first space?

The string has <hr /> at the end which I want to remove.

program makes strings from webbrowser documenttext.For example
String1 = "<span class""long-title"" title"" Informations here"
Im trying to remove all text before "Informations here" this is what i currently have.
dim mychar as char () = {"<"c, "s"c, "p"c, "a"c, '....thatandlike20moretill.... "e"c, """"c}
string1 = string1.TrimStart(mychar)
(Note that each letter or symbol inbetween the quotations is a part of the string (span = "s" "p"...)Now this works. Not all the time though and its a pain in the .. having to do "letter"c, all the time.. (I got over 10 strings lol) Im wondering if theres a way easier method to remove part of string from the beginning, maybe like still a certen part of the length..

I wrote a palindrome earlier for a project which I figured out but I talked to a friend in another class and he was having issues with how to take out the punctuation. I dont think it was required on mine but I am just currious how that could be done using commands such as str.lenght, or str.trim those basic commands. Here is my last post that is related

I have a string like
FVAL(XXX)="TRUE" AND FVAL(TT)="FALSE"
I want to replace all "TRUE" and "FALSE" by TRUE AND FALSE.
Now the resultant string should be
FVAL(XXX)=TRUE AND FVAL(TT)=FALSE
Will the code shown below be upto the mark for this.
Regex.Replace("FVAL(XXX)=""TRUE"" AND FVAL(TT)=""FALSE""", "[""]TRUE[""]", "TRUE", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)

So im trying to do a simple system in my VB Express Edition 2008 and what it does is add some car models (example) to a list box and stores it in a .txt file for future use. But when the user clicks a delete button it should delete from both the listbox and the .txt. I have to use only the FileOpen(OpenMode.Append or OpenMode.Input/Output) functions.

I 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.

I have not had much time to go threw my code properly as this is some urgency. I need to remove line 1 from a textfile if it contains a string but its not working.I have 500 files and not going to do this manually.
Code:
Private Sub btnRemove_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnRemove.Click
If String.IsNullOrEmpty(txtDirectory.Text) Then
OpenFolderDialogDirectory()
[code]....
I also feel the function is very pointless sime i am opening the file twice.
