I have a non standard text file, ie its not delimted etc, its pretty much free flowing. What I want to do is to search for a specifc string eg. "xyz123" and then replace it with what a user types into a text box, lets call the text box and its contents "txtreplace".
I am trying to replicate a find and replace function essentially, but will need to tailor it later on down the line, but this will be a starting point.
I have a VB .NET String. How can I search that string for a character string and replace it with another string?
For example:
Dim rValue As
String = sproc.ExecuteScalar()
' rValue now has the XML string <indracio fire height=23, width - 6>
/* This is the string that I want to search. Replace the words "indracio fire" with the word "lucion time"
How can I search this string for the words "indracio fire" , and replace with the word "lucion time" ?
Problem: Your task is to take input from the user in string and give the following options to the user in a menu.
1- Find a String
2- Create sub-string
3- Erase a portion of a sting
4- Replace a word in the string
5- Count number of words and characters in the string without spaces.
6- Capitalize first character of each new sentence and convert the rest
of the characters to lower case.
7- Sort all the words in alphabetical order. (Use Bubble sort algorithm to perform sorting).
To perform all the above mentioned tasks you can only use pointers. Create a function to perform every task.

For some reason I cannot get the %%LINK%% and %%NAME%% Replace() calls to work properly. I checked to see if it was encoding-related, so I made each file UTF-8. And also used the forced encoding overload of ReadAllText(String, Encoding) and still no dice.
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.

View 3 RepliesI have written a program that uses an array of the english alphabet and Morse code. I also built a form with a input box for the alphabetic information and an output box with the Morse Code. What i am trying to do is basically type a word like "Hi" in the input box and produce the Morse Code equivalent in the Morse Code output box. [Code] This works but only one letter at a time. Do i need to Parse the string of characters one at a time, and then run it through a loop like i have created?

I am reading a text file and I need to replace a few areas with new text that I marked with {0}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}, {6}. So I load in the text, save it to a string variable, and then use String.Replace but it's not working.
For i As Integer = 0 To 6
fileText.Replace("{" & i & "}", DisplayStudentData(i))
Next[code].....
I put all the data items into an array, then did this after loading the text file:
fileText = String.Format(fileText, dArr(0), dArr(1), dArr(2), dArr(3), dArr(4), dArr(5), dArr(6))

I have a string, lets say "((HRARNT*50)/100) + ((HRA*10)/100)"
And, i have value for HRA, HRARNT in a DGV and i want to replace it with its value to get "((5000*50)/100) + ((3500*10)/100)"
But, problem arises when it replace HRARNT with "3500RNT" as it got HRA value in DGV.
Now, i want it to first check if its prefixed or suffixed with +,-,*,/,),( then only it should replace with its subsequent value from DGV.
Though, first i tried placing HRA,HRARNT in [] and then replace, which worked fine, but users don't want to add [].
