I have 5 strings of varying length and I want to see if any of them have a 1-character substring that is not in any of the others. If it does then I want the value of the original substring to become the value of the string holding it. The names of the five strings are T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5. [Code]

Heres what im trying to do. I want to search a text file for a word (say) then write only the lines containing that word into a textbox.

I am working on arrays and I am currently having trouble with searching and finding arrays. In this example, the user should be able to enter a Name, and it will output that person's stats.
Here is the text file (note, I should be able to go to this text file, add a few more names and the code should still work, which is why I am using loops,arrays,text files instead of if and else statements),
Kobe,29,6,4
Allen Iverson,28,7,4
Jason Kidd,12,10,9
So if the user enters Jason Kidd in the text box, this will display in another text box:
Jason Kidd averaged 12 points, 10 assist, and 9 rebounds.
[Code]...
All right now is the searching part. I really do know how to search for what the user entered and display the statement in a text box. I kind of have an idea of how to just get the name, but for it to get the name and then all the data for that name puzzles me even more.-I tried using .contain, indexof and few others.
I know to display the information in the text box will be something like:
textboxoutput.text = PlayerName & " averaged " & PlayerPoints & " points, " & PlayerAssist &" assist, and " PlayerRebounds " &" rebounds"
So basically, I want it to where the user can enter a basketball players name and display the values for that name.
I have a problem finding strings that do not exist in a column in a database. I am going to use linq but its more the 'way' of doing I am concerned with.
I have strings like;
MEAL
GPST
EXLEG
EXLG ...etc
I need to find records that does not have this list of strings in, so for example DBML BUT sometimes I can have the string MEALDBML, or more concatenated. So this is a known string of MEAL and unknown string of DBML. I would then want to see that record. I do not know the unknown strings up front, so its a case of feeding in the strings I know are ok, and finding one that are outside that list. I was also thinking of regex?
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?

View 39 RepliesI 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 migrating from VB6 to VB.NET, in hence my questions below:
I have to write a function that returns array of strings.
How can I initiate it to empty array? I need it since I have to check if it's empty array after it returns from this function.
Is list of arrays better for this purpose? If I use a list - Is it empty when it firstly defined? How can I check it it's empty?
I have been looking for examples to find the string between two strings. This top one works fine;
Public Sub ReadData(ByRef keywordStart As String, ByRef keywordEnd As String, ByVal filename As String)
Using reader = New StreamReader(filename)

Now the first one is fine - Ext_Volume is result of the string between the strings <Volume> and </Volume>. <Volume> and </Volume> are unique so this is straight forward.
However the second one - "^FDExp:" is unique, but "^FS" is not unique. There are occurances of "^FS" before and after "^FDExp:".
How do I get the string to search AFTER the occurrence, not before etc?
Dim str As String
Dim str2 As Array
str = "blabla duhduh"
str2 = str.Split(" ")
Say the string is something like
bla bla bla bla (cat) bladfdskdfd dsgdsdksf (dog)
dfdshfdskdskfsdfkhsdf sdkfhdsfkdf (kathy) fdsfhdskfhdsfkd (doggy)
I want a generic.list (of string) containing
cat

Is there an easy way to find a certain string within a string and then return the strings that you find as an array?I have written this:

View 2 RepliesI have a DataGridView that has some columns with dates. It binds to an in-memory Datatable which gets loaded from an string array of data passed back from the backend Some of the rows returned have nulls for the date columns. Solution 1: If I define the Date column in the DataTable as "string" I can easily convert those nulls to empty strings and display it in the grid as empty strings (desired results). However, if the user clicks on the date column header to sort by date, it doesn't order the rows as you want. You get a purely string sort order. Not acceptable

Here's the weird problem I am trying to solve but cannot get my mind around it. In a text box 1, the user enters 2 or more strings separated by comma. then in text box 2, the user enter 1 or more strings separated by comma. The output then puts the strings from text box 2 between the strings in text box 1
Example:
TextBox1 = visual basic, java, perl
TextBox2 = is better, compared to

View 2 RepliesI have an object that I'm instantiating in VB.NET. I'm trying to see if it's storing a particular value somewhere in it. If I look at the object in the watch window in the VS 2010 IDE, I see this huge tree structure with thousands of nodes, many layers deep.
I'd like to be able to search for a value "1234" in this huge tree structure. I tried using serialization to convert the object to xml, but it complains that it doesn't have a parameterless constructor, since this object is provided by a third party, I can't add a parameterless constructor.Is there any way that I can search this object? Is there anyway that I can convert the tree structure that I see in the vs 2010 watch window to an xml document, or a string?

I am learning about the search capability in an array. I wrote a code that stores three names (first & last) and I want to:
- Make the user select a number (from 1-3) by using a (combobox)
- If the user select the proper number then a message will appear that the name is there.

I have a problem when searching an XML string. The problem is that I can't get it to work. I have a big XML in a string, and I only need 2 values that are each in seperate elements. It is hard to explain so it's best I just show it.This is my XML: (sorry it's very long, but I want it to be complete so my question can be answered properly).
<transactions result="1">
<transaction raisewarning="false" result="1" location="temporary">
<header>
[code]....
For each <transaction> I need the value of <Number> that is in <Header> and the value of <invoicenumber> in <line (id=1)> ... I have colored the elements in my sentence the same as I colored them in my big XML?The number of <transaction>'s can vary for each XML (these are a webservice response).I've been looking for 2 days now, and I can't seem to grasp this XML stuff unfortunately.
