Search String For Words?
Oct 15, 2011
I was wondering how would i make a search kind of thing, for example if string1 contains all the words in string2 words. like a search(not just if string1 contains string 2).
it should work something like this:
If string1 is "an apple" and if string2 is "djsjfsfg apple sdfsfssdfs" then string3 would be nothing
BUT
If string1 is "an apple" and if string2 is "djsjfsfg apple sdfsfssdfs an ashdfjdsgfsdgfj" then string3 would be "djsjfsfg apple sdfsfssdfs an ashdfjdsgfsdgfj"

I have a textbox which has about 120 lines of text but this can vary. I want to search for an array of words, like Boeing, Airbus, Saab etc there might be 3 options there might be 5 options in this array that i'm looking for. My question is how can I search the textbox and highlight all these words? Similar to (Control + F) in IE8. I've looked at InStr but am unsure if this is what I'm after as it does not seem to work for me.

changing the way the site search is done from just search a phrase as one string to searching a phrase "as multiple words" search. For example, if I search "cute puppy" right now, it will search it for "cute puppy" as phrase and won't match just "cute" and "puppy". The way the search is implemented is by passing a search phrase to a Stored Procedure in SQL Server.So now, I need to change to site search so when "cute puppy" is searched, it will search two words.... "cute" and "puppy" instead of just "cute puppy". Below is how the store procedure is implemented
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO

I'm attempting to setup a search function from a string a user types. (ex: "John Doe" or "Doe, John") I was thinking I would use Replace(SearchString, ",", "") to get rid of the commas the user might enter, and then use Split(SearchString, " ") to get all the words into an array. Once they're in the array I would execute a Stored Procedure on each of the terms and build a DataTable with the results.
Below is what I'm wanting to use for executing my stored procedure.
oCommand = DataAccess.GetSQLCommand("MyStoredProcedure", CommandType.StoredProcedure, SourceServer.ConnectionLocal)
oCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@MySearchString", SearchString)
[Code]....
Now I'm thinking the "SearchString" I will assign while looping through my array of words... but this doesn't seem like the right way to do this. Maybe it is but I don't know how to append my next result to the previous DataTable either.

I have a textbox with a large amount of data, but I am trying to extract only the following into an array: only 3 or 4 letter, uppercase words. The goal is to find all stock symbols within a document.
For example, in this post, if I were to type "MSFT", regex would extract MSFT because it is a 4 letter, uppercase word.

I have an array of words that must be sorted alpabetically using selection sort, I must then be able to search the array with a binary search. I just can't get my head around how you would go about doing it. I know that the words must be first sorted into alphabetical order. Here is the code for selection sort with numbers:
Dim pass As Integer
Dim count As Integer
Dim minmax As Integer
Dim temp As Integer
[code]....
How would you apply that to an array of strings?

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Btn5vowel.Click
Dim rand As New Random
Dim alphabet As String
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To 200
alphabet = ChrW(rand.Next("A"),to ("z")
It is giving me that the expression must be expected. I have to choose and display the fifth vowel from the list of 200 random words.

searching a database using multiple words from a textbox showing in gridview.
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Width="382px" AutoPostBack="True"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" style="height: 26px" Text="Button" />
[Code]....
It works fine, i click button and the gridview shows all the right records. The problem is when i use more then 1 word in textbox. it shows nothing. The record in the database field may have several words, so i need to search using all words in textbox.

Im trying to work out what the best way to match 2 strings together, but with a difference.
String1 = "dog cat bird chair book table"
String2 = "the dog chassed the cat around the chair"
No I know I can break string1 up by space character and check if each word appears in string 2, I would prefer to not have to do that.If there some sought of regex that would take a group of words and retrun how many of them matched ?

The following code checks a strings if it contains particular words and if yes it removes them. The problem is that it also removes characters that it shouldn't. For example: If user_input3 contains a word like lo(ok) it would remove the last characters ok. How can i modify the code to remove whole words only?

im working with a receipt layout and trying to divide up a products descriptiontext into 2 lines if its longer then 24 characters.my first solution was something like this:
If Row.Description.Length >= 24 Then
TextToPrint &= Row.Description.Substring(0, 24) & " $100"
TextToPrint &= Row.Description.Substring(24) & vbNewLine

Basically what I'm trying to achieve is to extract all the words within a piece of string and transfer that from one text box to another text box.
An example piece of the string would be
<laugh:894u8438:4434:words>
However the words within the string will never remain constant and the characters before and after will change. Is there anything that will read the string and take a word from the string without it being pre-programmed. The string it is reading from is uploaded from a text file.

i want to write a code to swap the words in a string.
Input - I like cake
Output - cake I like
To do this it would be great if there is a way to determine the index of each word.Like
1- I
2- like
3- cake
Then I can swap the words.But I have no idea how to do it.Currently I have written the code to count the number of words in a string and to get the average.
Dim str As String = Me.t1.Text
Dim strA() As String = str.Split(" ")
Dim TChrs As Int32

I need to display the first c.200 characters of a longer string, for the homepage of a news website. I am using VB.NET. Obviously, cutting exactly 200 chars quite often cuts a word in half, e.g.: "The last five years have seen a radical increase in the volume and complexity of company legislation. The Bahamas has established a Stock Exchange, passed legislation aimed at regu" I need a function that will produce: "The last five years have seen a radical increase in the volume and complexity of company legislation. The Bahamas has established a Stock Exchange, passed legislation aimed at" I can then add "... [More]" or whatever to the end of this string and voila! Is there any way of using regular expressions (regex), substr or something similar to produce this output?
