I have some HUGE text files (easily around 2000+ lines) I need to clean where some of the formatting is like this:
CODE:
Of course there are more than 2 words in the lines, but what I said was just an example. I have to clean these files and I just want to know how to delete the whole line after the spaces (including the gibberish), but I don't want to delete the spaces in between the words that need to stay.
I was thinking I could test for 2 or more spaces and if that's true then delete the rest of the line beginning at the first space. The only issue is there are tabs sometimes between the words and I don't want to mess with those right now. (I have no clue how to make source that deletes spaces but not tabs... Perhaps you can single out tabs?)
Because of the formatting to make the text files look "cleaner" there are sometimes 5 (least) - 8 spaces (max) between each some words. So should I check for 9 spaces? (1 more than 8). There seriously are huge amounts of spaces between the words and the gibberish.
I'll worry about formatting the text and what not later, right now I'm only asking for help with the spaces and gibberish issue .
I'm usually a C++ man, not used to VB.NET (2005) but I will only be using this project for cleaning these files and the dialogs are much easier to make than MFC for C++. So I figured this would be much faster and easier (except I have very little experience with VB.NET)
I just changed a control on a form from a masked textbox to a normal textbox because I wrote my own code to validate the data. I'm trying to clear the leading spaces that were created for this column in an Access database using the LTrim function and it doesn't work for some reason. The column is " :30" in the table and when I LTrim it and save the changes, it's still " :30" , not ":30". Is that leading entry not a space character?
In my program, I get an rtf file (which I load through a Rich-TextBox), and need to format it a bit: I need to remove certain spaces, from certain lines.
how do I validate that only letters and spaces have been entered into a text box.
Here is a sample of my
Private Sub btnWrite_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnWrite.Click, mnuWrite.Click If Not txtName.Text Like "[a-z][A-Z]" Then MessageBox.Show("Please enter your name using letters and spaces", "Error") txtName.SelectAll()
I have written a program which read a file and convert it into my required format, but the problem is at the end there are three empty rows (lines) then "End of Report" message is displayed, here is my code. [code]
I am trying to remove all spaces from a text field when a form is submitted so that the contents of the post code field match those in a database...
If drSet5c.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("post_code") = UCase(Replace(tbPostcode.Text, " ","")) Then response.write("Postcodes match")
[Code]....
So if the postcode in the database is AB12CD and the user types AB1 2CD the space is removed on submitting the form and the match statement shows. This is not working though.
VB 2010 SOLVED: 1: How can i let the spaces from a text automatically dissappear?Like when I paste 999 277 883 it turns out to 999277883 without a click.
2: Is it possible to click on a link in WebBrowser1 and make the clicked link appear in WebBrowser2?
how would I get a list of ip's and then have all the ip's gather into a rich text box with breaks in-between them? I have tried searching some older threads.
The code below at the moment reads a text file and then writes it out again to a different location. One thing i need to be able to do before it get written again is to scan each line and reduce any line that has more than one space in it.[code]...
Ive been reading up on the split function on Msdn but grasp how if I had a text in textbox1 it would remove all spaces and textbox1.text and is split the easiest method?
I have a notepad txt file that has two columns of data. Vb reads data having one blank space (this is in column one) but ignores any other data beyond two blank spaces. in addition to being able to read the second column, I want to store the data thats in the column 2 in a separate string.
I wish to create a form with a translucent clientwindow but want to have all contained controls and the form border display as normal. Setting the form's Opacity level dims the entire form including its controls and this is not the effect I'm trying to achieve. I have achieved the desired effect by placing a second form behind the main form (with the main form's "TransparencyKey" property set) and adjust the background form's opacity level. This added a few issues to overcome in terms handling the z-order, handling click-through through the main form, and an additional form in the Alt-Tab sequence that I did not want.
I have a command button that when presed allows the user to rename a label on a control ( form ) b4 its loaded.i want to put a command in the forms load event to take out any spaces b4 text in label1.
OK, SO i have this program that outputs all the servers on a specific game. It outputs it to a text file. HOWEVER, There is a lot of annoying spaces. This is kind of hard to explain, so ill try to explain it. This is what The text file looks like.
sometimes, when I use Form.close() when debugging my program, although the form is closed, the application is still running. I noticed this behaviour when using the msgbox function.
I have the following macro that combines two columns in a table and then displays it in my ListBox. The problem is that when it combines the columns there is a large gap (spaces) between the two. How can I get rid of all the spaces?
Dim sourcedoc As Document, h As Integer, j As Integer, myitem As Range, m As Long, n As Long Set sourcedoc = Documents.Open(FileName:="U:INDUSTRIAL SAFETY RISK ASSESSMENT.doc") h = sourcedoc.Tables(1).Rows.Count - 1
I have a Combo Box which I fill at design time and the Text property is set to blanks. I've added a button to clear the form. I would like to set the ComboBox to spaces, but the first entry shows up.
When I'm writing comments in my code, I often forget to add the initial space after the comment identifier.
'this is a comment
when really it is supposed to be
' this is a comment
I realize this is quite trivial, and you could simply say "just add the damn space you idiot", but I'd really like to automate this so that I just don't have to worry about it. add the comment space?note I do realize that a catch all string replace or regex replace could screw up other things ... IE:
Dim something As String = "I'm a nerd"
would actually come out
Dim something As String = "I' m a nerd"
if it's only on a line by it's self and is not followed by a second single quote... IE: '' would not trigger the replacement.
When i create a band new WPF project without changing any code whatsoever does this on resize. It stays this way if i minimize or drag across monitors. Is this supposed to happen? It does this with all of my WPF applications so i set ResizeMode="CanMinimize" .
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click If Textbox1.Text.StartsWith(a.Text & (" ")) = True And String.IsNullOrEmpty(a.Text) = False Then Textbox1.Text = encryption.Text.Remove(0, a.TextLength) phrase.AppendText("a")
[code]....
I want this part of my project to detect spaces because it can happen if the user puts in a certain value for on and that value begins with another it will not process. (ex. a.text = 123, b.text = 1234, then i get the outcome or "aa" and it should be "ab"
