I'm creating a file thats need to be in this format url... I need to be able to set the limit of the string length for certain fields.Is there an easy way to set the limit of the field so that if the string was larger then the limit then just take the substring and if smaller would add extra spaces?I was able to accomplish something similar to this with integers by just using .toString("00000").

If using the following in an if statement I get an error: If trg.Name.Substring(4, 6).ToUpper <> ("ABCDEF") Then I get the error: "Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name: length"
I assume this is because the string (trg.name) is too small for the 4, 6 substring. What would be the correct method of working around this problem? VB.net Studio 2008.
The application is working good, i can receive data on port 48888 and i can write it to my logfile, but my problem is when i convert bytes to string. I have the correct data, but all the bufferReadSize is filled with space. Example: if i send only: test, my log file will have test and 4 lines of space only. In my code, right after Dim clientdata As String = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bytes).
I tried to trim(), replaceI() or any string manipulation, and it's not working!%!? Is there anything i need to do before i can start manipulating that string?
I'm writing some code that takes a report from the mainframe and converts it to a spreadsheet. They can't edit the code on the MF to give me a delimited file, so I'm stuck dealing with it as fixed width. It's working okay now, but I need to get it more stable before I release it for testing. My problem is that in any given line of data, say it could have three columns of numbers, each five chars wide at positions 10, 16, and 22. If on this one particular row, there's no data for the last two cols, it won't be padded with spaces; rather, the length of the string will be only 14. So, I can't just blindly have

With setting the string length. I have got a streamreader reading from a .doc file into a listbox and then i want to set the string length of how long it to be and then if longer to go to the next line so it will fit in the listbox as the listbox you cant scroll accross but you can up and down.
Ive done this so far:
Try
Dim file_name As String = "K:\Uni\Year 2\Visual Basic\Report\MSDN\Absolute Beginner's Series VB Lesson 1\01 VB Lesson Transcript.doc"

The part of the program I'm trying to write is supposed to take the users input, which is their name, and in a listbox spit out their initials. I have so far:
Dim initials As String
Dim indexspace As Integer
initials = name.Substring(0, 1)
indexspace = name.IndexOf(" ")
lstInvoice.Items.Add(String.Format(strFormat, "Invoice ID", initials & space))
When I run the program, I can get the first initial to pop up, but I am not certain how to get the second to pop up.
I'm trying to create a valid RegEx replacement pattern for correctly formatting specific .XML file names. Specifically, if a file name does not begin with a prefix, let's say, ACE_. If the XML file name and extension does not begin with ACE_, prepend the string ACE_ to the file name.For example, if my input source string is the following:
Widgets.xml
I would like to execute a single RegEx Replacement that would result in the string being:
ACE_Widgets.xml.
Conversely, if the string already begins with ACE_, I would like it to remain unchanged. Also,how can I include the pattern ".xml" to ensure that the string pattern for the file name and extension ends with ".xml" in the same matching pattern for the RegEx Replacement pattern? As for the match, I have some luck with the following:
^ACE_{1}[dD]+
Which indicates there is a match for the pattern if the input string is ACE_Widgets.xml and no match if the string is Widgets.xml
The RegEx pattern would suffice, but if you need to know the language in which I'd like to use the replacement pattern is in .NET 4.0 in either C# or VB.NET.
