Replace Words From One List Of Strings With Another?
Apr 27, 2010
The code below replaces if it finds a given string from the list of contractions with its equivelant from the list of word-contractions. E.g., if it finds 'll it will replace it with Will. The code words but whtn it comes to let's it will replace it with let is.
'remove panctuation and contractions first
Dim contractions As List(Of String) = New List(Of String)(New String() _
{"'ll", "'re", "'ve", "'m", "'d", "'s", "n't", "won't", "lets", "let's", "ikon of elkomenos", "ikon of crucifixion", "ikon of crist elkomenos", "Part A", "Part B", "renaissance style", "hagios nikolaos", "full wall fortification"})
Say I have a List(Of Tag) with Tag being an object. One member of Tag, Tag.Description, is a string, and I want to make a comma-separated concatenation of the Description members.Is there an easier way to do this than to read the Description members into a List(Of String) and then use the Join function?
Code: Public Function convert(ByVal sentence As String) As String Dim conv As String = sentence conv = Replace(conv, "I am ", "you are") conv = Replace(conv, "I'm", "you are")

This works to some degree but a word like "Mommy" becomes "Momyour". Or "mean" becomes "youan" How can I do this with full words only? I've tried putting spaces before and after within the quotes, but then any of the words that need changed at the beginning of a paragraph, don't change because there is no space at the beginning.
I have a program to rewrite articles.I have a xml file with Synonyms with this format[code]...
For example when I select a word the program display the list of Synonyms in a listbox so I select a Synonym then the program replace the word selected in the article.
program description:its a research paper editor and report builder program. i need to replace desired words with all blank spaces in the program
[Code]...
When i executed this program everything works fine.but all the blankspaces are replaced by only one word.
how should i get every individual blank space replaced by individual words.i mean i need to get every blank space in my research paper is replaced by different words
I have the following macro that will find a word in a document, then 'bold and cap' it. If I want to find 50 words in the document and do the same thing, I can just copy the macro 50 times. Is there an easer way to do this?
Set SearchRange = ActiveDocument.Range With SearchRange.Find .Text = "My Word"
But it replaces all abc to google. But I need to change first abc to google and second abc to yahoo and so on.also tried this one
Quote:
Dim m14 As MatchCollection = Regex.Matches(TextBox1.Text, "abc", RegexOptions.Singleline + RegexOptions.IgnoreCase) For Each n1 As Match In m14 Dim value As String = n1.Groups(0).Value 'MsgBox(value)
I currently have a list of words in a text file sorted in to alphabetical order and put into lower case, but I would like to be able to also display the line numbers on which these words are associated with.. but only one instance of.
For example,
"This is a random text file that I have just made up this second"
[Code].....
As you can see above, I would like to show that "this" for example appears on line 1 and 4. Hopefully tabbed so that it keeps a nice look to it.
I have a list of strings. For each string in that list, I want to prepend another string. I wrote a method to do it, but I was wondering if there was something already in .NET I could use to do this. It seems like something that could be built in, but I was not able to find anything.
Here is the method I wrote:
Private Function PrependToAllInList(ByRef inputList As List(Of String), ByRef prependString As String) As List(Of String) Dim returnList As List(Of String) = New List(Of String) For Each inputString As String In inputList returnList.Add(String.Format("{0}{1}", prependString, inputString))
[code].....
It works, but I would rather use built in functions whenever possible.
I'm creating a method to replace variables in strings, I'm going to share an example of how I'm replacing values and can see short falls in how what I'm doing. Here's a stripped down example of what I'm doing. It replaces a variable with the date specified, so %today(-1) would give me yesterday, %today(2) would give me two days from now.
So I have software to replace string with string, it's cool but I need code which would replace any given character (for example a) with all strings from textbox.
I have an string in a textfile that looks like this:or something similar. The T's represent true and the F's represent false. I wrote each letter to an array, like so:
I'm populating a datagridview from a database where all the data has had apostrophes and quotation marks stripped out and replaced with ASCII values; now I want to replace them back. Since the user can perform a variety of queries that are all displayed in the same table, any column might contain text fields.
'strSearch = textBox.Text, columns 2 to 10 are the optional columns you want to search to. Function WhereQuery(ByVal strSearch As String, ByVal column1 As String, Optional ByVal column2 As String = "", Optional ByVal column3 As String = "", Optional ByVal column4 As String = "", Optional ByVal column5 As String = "", Optional ByVal column6 As String = "", Optional ByVal column7 As String = "",[code]..

im also thinking on using stringbuilder to replace my strings.
First it might sound like an ordinary task but keep reading it isn't. I can't figure out how to find a phrase in a text file, and replace it with something else. Tried lots of things but always ending up with empty hands.
I'm using a program see here: Visual Basic Regular Expression Question. I enter letters and the program returns all possible combinations from list. I want change this line of code...
Dim result = fruits.Where(Function(fruit) Not fruit.Except(letters).Any())
If I have this list:
Dim fruit as List(Of string) from {"apple","orange","pear","banana"}
And I input "p a p l e r" then it would return "apple" and "pear", but if I enter "a p l e r" then it would return just "pear". The idea is to return all words, which can be made of entered letters without duplicating any single letter. How to optimize this Linq code?
I have been given a task to replace text within an existing PDF file. I played around with iTextSharp and is halfway.
I did come accross an excellent sample on the CodeBank by stanav, which I have been using.
Now, I know that you cannot replace the existing text on the file, because a PDF document is not a Word document as such. So my way of thinking is to draw a block around the existing text, and resave the file.
I need to find the precise x & y location of the text, and then I could draw the block(s) over it - that way, blanking the words out.
