String() Variable In VB?
Aug 24, 2010
I'm trying to modify a program where there is a variable that stores all the specified file types in a String() variable. What I would like to do is to somehow append to this variable in any way if I want to search another directory or just grab another individual file.
//Grab files from a directory with the *.txt or *.log as specified in the Combo Box
Dim strFiles As String()
strFiles = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(txtSource.Text, cmbtype.SelectedItem, IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories)
EDIT: Edited to include code snippet used.
Dim strFiles As String()
Dim listFiles As List(Of String)(strFiles)
If (cmbtype.SelectedItem = "All") Then

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 insert a string variable inside of two strings, and make a combined string. Public Sub Page_Load() Dim Id As String Id = Trim (Request.QueryString("Id")) End Sub Dim mp3text as string url... & Id & ".mp3" My goal is to make the mp3text variable have a string that is: url...(If Id is 7) It is for some reason not connecting up correctly. I checked what string it is outputting and this is what it is giving: url...It is missing the Id content.

The code below works for the class that I hard coded "XCCustomers" in my RetrieveIDandName method where I use CType. However, I would like to be able to pass in various classes and property names to get the integer and string LIST returned. For example, in my code below, I would like to also pass in "XCEmployees" to my RetrieveIDandName method. I feel so close... I was hoping someone knew how to use CType where I can pass in the class name as a string variable.
Note, all the other examples I have seen and tried fail because we are using Option Strict On which disallows late binding. That is why I need to use CType.I also studied the "Activator.CreateInstance" code examples to try to get the class reference instance by string name but I was unable to get CType to work with that.When I use obj.GetType.Name or obj.GetType.FullName in place of the "XCCustomers" in CType(obj, XCCustomers)(i)I get the error "Type 'obj.GetType.Name' is not defined" or "Type 'obj.GetType.FullName' is not defined"

I have a List(of String()). I have written a custom comparer (implements IComparer(of string)) to do an alphanumeric sort.Is there a way to sort the List using a given index to determine which position in the String() to sort by? In other words one time I might sort by Index = 0 and another time by Index = 3. The length of all String() in the list is the same.For reference this question is similar to Sort List<String[]> except I am using VB.net and that question is hardwired to Index=0.
EDIT from OP's comments:I started simple with the non custom comparer but I am getting an error: expression does not produce a value. Not sure what I am doing wrong.Here is the code:
Public Shared Function SortListOfStringArray(ByVal ListOfStringArray As List(Of String()), ByVal SortByIndex As Integer) As List(Of String())
Return ListOfStringArray.Sort(Function(x, y) x(SortByIndex).CompareTo(y(SortByIndex)))
End Function

just found out that replace(string does not do the same as string.replace when my string variable was an empty str the first one returns "nothing" and the second returns an empty string (as expected).just sloppy coding anyhow, it was a function that was converted from classic asp and never rewritten properly.

I am using the MODI DLL (Microsoft Office Document Imaging) because it has an OCR engine. That's working fine, but I'm having trouble capturing the resulting text into my own string variable (weird, huh). Modi has the result stored in the following Modi string variable:
img.Layout.Text
I've tried three ways to capture this value, only one of them works (not the one that I need to work)
(1) Dim txt as string = img.Layout.Text 'fails
(2) MsgBox(img.Layout.Text) 'fails
(3) M = new Msg(img.Layout.Text) 'succeeds
Method 3 (the only one working) is a custom msgbox I built in VB.Net, and it accepts a regular .Net string variable. I need Method-1 to work. The error thrown is this:
"Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt." I even tried it like this:
(1) Dim txt as string = img.Layout.Text.ToString.Trim
Here's the complete code:
Dim doc As New MODI.Document
doc.Create("C:VCR.tif")
Dim img As MODI.Image

Dim a1 As String
Dim a2 As String

If I try to put a string into a Boolean variable such as this:
Dim testValue As String = "True"
Dim bool1 As Boolean = testValue
With Option Strict On I get an error and the suggested fix is to change the second line to:
Dim bool1 As Boolean = CBool(testValue)
This is fine, But - what are the advantages / disadvantages of doing this instead:
Dim bool1 As Boolean = Boolean.Parse(testValue)

Dim tablaalfa As String = "a10"
'I retrieve data from the array using the name of the variable instead:

I'm going to describe what I'm trying to do and then what I'm doing in hopes of making this as clear as possible.I'm trying to create a way of having data avaialble to the application that could be changed in the future and not have to recompile the code.Normally I do this for my connection strings incase something changes, this way I can just change the file and I'm good.however in this case I'm trying to store a long string variable that contains something like(including all " in the string) "Dear " + emailRecp + vbCrLf + "Thank you for buying our product...."
Now when I do this as part of the code with something like strMessage = "Dear " + emailRecp + vbCrLf + "Thank you for buying our product...."when I look at the output from this it looks like (which is what I want):
Dear Mr Smith
Thank you for buying our product....
however when I do strMessage = My.Settings.purchaseMessage (even with .ToString()) the output looks like Dear " + emailRecp + vbCrLf "Thank you for buying our product....how to do this in another manner that won't affect performance.I have also tried to trim the " from the first and last char positions and no luck.
