i am trying to copy the whole word after finding the character that i want.
I have managed to find the character i want quite simply :
With Selection.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Text = "@"
[Code].....
Is it possible to uppercase the first character of each word using regex?
I'm going to be using this in VB.net (SSIS)
The assignment is to separate the consecutive characters in whole word .
View 15 RepliesRecently I have started my computing course at college. I had little programming knowledge (as I'm more of a 'web developer') and it has come to the point of us learning some of the basics.I downloaded VB at home, and have been learning by myself when I have the chance... but I've hit a wall Basically, I have to create a program that searches for a character within a string.I managed to do this at college, but it has slipped my mind... So I could use some help The specification we have to meet is:An event (such as a button being clicked) must use a function to return something.The function must use the mid() function
From this, I've come up with:
Public Class Form1
Dim string1, searchterm As String
[code].....
The layout of my program is effectively 2 text boxes (named input1 & searchterm), a Label (named Output1) and a button (named search).ow, My problem (I think) is due to the mid().I'm not entirely sure I've used it correctly.
I know this has been answered before but I am having trouble with it still. I am trying to find if a textbox has an "x" as the first character. I am trying to use the left(string, 1) command as described in a couple other threads to just test the first character on the left but the only left function I can find relates to the left coordinates of the textbox.
View 2 RepliesIs it possible that after you find a string, backup until you find a specific character and copy it?For example, I am looking for "bread". The text is milk8andbread. Would it be possible to start at bread, back up until eight, and just copy "andbread"?
View 4 RepliesHow can I replace character/word in text (loaded to richboxtext) but only for those which are not on the "block" list ?
Dim str As String = RichTextBox2.Text
RichTextBox3.Text = str.Replace("1"c, "A"c)
But I want add list of words which should be excluded. I thought that I can do something like :
Dim str As String = RichTextBox2.Text
If Regex.IsMatch(RichTextBox2.Text, "shows") Then
Else
RichTextBox3.Text = str.Replace("%"c, " "c)
End If
RichTextBox3.Text = str.Replace("1"c, "A"c)
Dim str2 As String = RichTextBox3.Text
RichTextBox3.Text = str2.Replace("2"c, "B"c)
But it's not working as it will just skip replace of % for whole text and I want just just exclude particular word from list from being replaced...

I am using a simple regular expression (in C#) to find a whole word within a block of text.
The word may appear at the beginning, end or in the middle of a the text or sentence with in the text.
The expression I have been using word has been working fine however if the word included a special character (that has been escaped) it no longer works. The boundary is essential so that we do not pick up words such as vb.net as a match for .net.[code]...
The application I support is creating an amalgamted Word document by copying couple of Word documents in one document right after each other. The problem is the format of the some of the fields of the document that gets appended is changed in amalgamated document while the amalgamated document is the copy of AppendDocument (imagine if we have one document to copy in the amalgamated document)

Basically my issue is that users would like to search for a french word that has accented characters but without typing in the accented characters and then have the actual accented word appeared highlighted if found... So for example they would type in "declare" but in the result sets it would look like "déclare" and if found "déclare" would be highlighted.
My first thought was to just simply replace the characters with a regex but then I remembered that I would need to re-insert the replaced characters after the search... I was thinking of then using some sort of character map that would track position and the character so that when the search was finshed I could put the result set back to the way it was.
I am Looking for a combobox that does a full search and O mean by that the following :
It starts searching data upon inserting or adding new character to the textbox of the combobox and vice-versa, which means that if I moved back by deleting a character then it starts searching again selecting the first data resembles the textbox. In another way I want a combobox class does exactly the same as combobox in Encylopedia.

I am trying to do a SQL query that checks for the presence or absence of a character's occurance in a field / column as a condition to retrieve the row. In this case I only need to test for existance of the specified character and in a similar query to test for the non existence. Not where it is or how many, just is it there or is it notI am using VB express.net 2008 and it uses, I think, MS SQL Server 2008.Using VB's instr() I can tell straight away if a string does or doesn't contain a character, but I would like to know this before I retrieve the row.
using the
WHERE .... and [mytable.myfield] LIKE 'Q'
or
WHERE .... and [mytable.myfield] NOT LIKE 'Q'
produces a result, but not a correct result. It does something but I can not say that it is working even part way.CHARINDEX gets an undefined function error MATCHES also gets an undefined function error?CONTAINS looks like it should work but I am still getting sytax errors with it, so I don't know how to use that predicate yet.

For books that are split up in some other way, such as a bible which is split up by chapter and verse; they would be able to search for all verses that contain a certain keyword. Or alternatively, search within certain chapters and verses for a keyword. What format should I store the book into? Should it be stored into a SQL database? What format would be easiest for searching as opposed to easiest for storage?

I have a block of text in the txtbox1. I wish to input a word in txtbox2 and press btn1 and it searches the word in txtbox1 and a msg shows ez:word found.
I'm trying to build a page in which the users should be able to type a name into a search box, click search and the name will be displayed. My problem is that I also want them to be able to edit the name and update it, and this is not working for some reason. I'm using GridView and because of the way my search function works, I can't link the GridView directly to data source. What function do I need to add to make the uploading work, or what do I need to change in my search function so that I'll be able to link to data source a(nd have the upload function be automatic) ?
My code for my search function is :
Sub btnSearch_onclick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
If (txtSearch.Text = "" Or txtSearch.Text = "Enter Search Here") Then
Response.Write("enter a search value!")
