I have strMyText where I want to replace all instances of "http", "www", ".com", "cat", "dog" (and a few more) with "". What is the best way to do that?
View 2 RepliesI have webbrowser1 that contains about 1,000 or so lines of text. I want to:
a) Check a string for various other strings and remove any row that contains that string. e.g. if it finds "http" or "www" or "dog" or "cat" (etc) in a row, remove that row.
b) Copy that cleaned data to my multiline textbox, ensuring the rows are preserved and its not just one continuous row.
I have a program, and a string is generated. something like:
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:NoFormName ATTR=NAME:movie_imdb CONTENT= [URL]
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:NoFormName ATTR=NAME:movie_urls[] CONTENT=[URL]
Now I need this to be:
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:NoFormName ATTR=NAME:movie_imdb CONTENT=[URL]
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:NoFormName ATTR=NAME:movie_urls[] CONTENT=[URL]
v=ACFXQPGT
I know this might look easy, but I already trid so much but it doesn't work.
Now I was trying a regex:
Dim pattern As String = "CONTENT=|?http"
For Each m As Match In Regex.Matches(Data, pattern)
MsgBox(m)
Next
But I don't know what the "|?" or pattern should be.
The file reads in parameters and two of the parameters used to be in Date Format YYYYMMDD but will now permanently be in format YYYY-MM-DD. This change, I believe, is stopping the import of the file from working. I would like to replace the new format YYYY-MM-DD back to YYYYMMDD in the code. If possible I'd also like to see some output so I know that the old format has been replaced with the new format. The code is below. I added the two rows with .replace code in green in expecting that to be enough but it is still not working.

I'm working on a timekeeping application in Visual Basic 2008 and am having trouble formatting a timespan for display.

View 2 RepliesI have a bunch of object variables which are all initialised in their declarations such that:

My original example could be solved using other methods. This example is more representative of the actual problem:

I am trying to think of a regex replace to replace double quotes with nothing. Example:

I am trying to filter out all unwanted characters from a string. All I want in the string is letters A-Z, numbers 0-9 as well as comma (,) plus (+) and quotes (").I figured how to do the letters and numbers, but the 3 special characters are giving me a problem. I also tried with the Chr(34) equivelant for the " sign, but no luck, as and " or , messes up the way the code is read. Here�s what I have so far, but it only works for A-Z and 0-9:
STR = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(STR, "[^A-Z, 0-9, Chr(43) ]", "")
How can I specify in my string that I want to replace occurrences of ALL characters and replace them with a specified character? Something like this:
'assuming currentWord is a string that contains any word
_myWord = CurrentWord.Replace("a-z,A-Z", "*")
I am using replace function to replace a character in the file

I am working on a sub that essentially needs to open a text file, and replace all instances of a certain character with a unicode character. I'm trying to do this by reading the original text file byte by byte, converting it to a character, and then either adding that character to a memory stream or writing the unicode character to the memory stream. Then I'm saving the memory stream to the original file.

View 1 RepliesThe user enters a numerical value in textbox1 and click search. This searches for this value using PackageIO (any other options you guys think would be faster would be great) and will return how many instances of that value have been found. There is a second textbox and button that will only be enabled if 1 instance is found. If more than one instance is found, an error message pops up. I'm not too experienced with PackageIO. Here is what I have so far. The program crashes every single time. I'm positive there is something wrong with either part of it or the whole thing.[code]...

View 13 RepliesI currently have a sql command that inserts info into a table through one of my statements. One of the tables columns is defined as an integer. The integer value inside that columns cell's is one that I would like to retrieve, and then set it to a value my enumeration (a string value) and later display on my datagridview.
The problem I am having is that when I retrieve the column's value from the table(let's say 1) I can't set the value of the rows cell to my enumeration type, it tells me the table holds integer values only and so I can't change it to text. How can I accomplish retrieving my integer value, setting it to my enumeration type (a string value) and displaying it in my datagridview in the same cell that the integer was?
