String Search - Parse The String Of Characters One At A Time
May 5, 2012
I 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?
it must observe DST, parse the input with format string and allow output to be formatted with a formatting string the city names are not important and can be replaced with f.ex. timezone codes
how to search a string for numeric type characters and return only the numeric characters to an int field? For example: A field contains a string of "Net 30 days" or "Net 10 days" etc. I want to return only the "30" or "10" or whatever # to a int field.
I have a string of characters, but I would like to have a string of hexdecimal characters where the hexadecimal characters are converted by turning the original characters into integers and then those integers into hexadecimal characters. How do I do that?
I have a field that I display via: String.Format({0:c},amount) This produces the string "$28.28" However, when I try to convert back to a decimal amount, I get an incorrect format exception: amount = Decimal.Parse(amount.Text, NumberStyles.Currency) I also tried it with NumberStyles.AllowCurrencySymbol with the same results. I verified that the value in amount.Text is "$28.28". Am I missing something? Shouldn't these two operations use the same currency symbol and formats?
What would be the fasted method of get a string list of all values within [] in a string of text? For example: [client_name], are you are doing today? My name is [my_name]. The list of strings would be:
Not sure if too many people know this, but the following line will cause an error:
GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_"
....if the length of GroupName is less than 3 characters. I always thought it would simply return whatever characters in GroupName, but no, it errors. I must be thinking of the old VB6 days.So, I now have to change the code to:
If (GroupName.Length > 2) Then If (GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_") Then
Note that the two comparisons need to be on separate lines. If they are on the same line, such as:
If (GroupName.Length > 2) and (GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_") Then then the code will still fail as the length command is executed at the same time as the substring command- which will cause the error when the GroupName length is less than 3.Just thought that those of us not aware of this should be!
I am trying to manipulate a string to get to a part of the string inside 2 specified characters. Getting anything inside the > and the space. string starting with: jk;fhdididlsls/"f>Dog (467838) fgdad
I am trying to get "Dog" out of this.
dim x as string dim y as string x="jk;fhdididlsls/"f>Dog (467838) fgdad" y = x.Split(">" , " ") MsgBox(y.Join(""))
It will somehow always error out: value of 1-dimension array of string cannot be converted to string
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 am making a change to an existing process. Currently the csv file (which can have embedded "," with the field in quotes), i being passed as an IO.StreamReader parameter pStreamReader.
dim vLine as string = pStreamReader.ReadLine dim vFields () as String = vLine.Split(","c)
Well ... obviously the split does not work with embedded commas in a field. Looked at TextFieldParser, but it is in the FileIO class and the module is passed a IO.StreamReader. Can it work?
Or how abour a RegEx? Does anyone have any suggestions? I have look around on the internet and it seems like a common questions with a bunch of wild goose chases.

How would I go about parsing a connection string such as Data Source=TESTSQL;Initial Catalog=TESTDB;Integrated Security=True; to be something like Text field SQL Server = TESTSQL Text field Database = TETSDB
I am writing some code which needs me to parse the integer from a string. For example:
Dim str as String = "300ML"
I need to store the 300 to an Integer and discard the "ML" from the end. I can't seem to find a sensible way of doing this other than using RegEx. However, for the life of me I can not get my head around RegEx.
I'm looking for a way to search a string variable for two words and copy the text in between them into another variable. This needs to be done as many times as the match occurs.
I am trying to take a string that I have marked up through vb.net code and cross-check it with the text file it came from originally. This is for proofreading the html output.To do this, I need to parse an HTML snippet that does not come from a URL.The examples of HTMLAgilityPack I have seen get their input from a URL. Is there a way to parse a string of marked-up text that does not include a header or similar parts of a well-formed webpage?
I am trying to parse a particular attribute/value pair from XML in VB.NET. The XML is originally a string that looks like XML but it needs to be converted to an XML-like datatype or structure before I can parse it. How can I convert this string into XML, and then parse the info that I need?
I would like to parse a string to extract embedded parameters. [code]...
I split on the colon, then check each entry for the string "image", when found, I then extract the next entry.
I would like to use the ParseQueryString()method which works fine with equal signs and no spaces. Does anyone know if this method can work with other delimiters and spaces?
