I am trying to replace an & in the name of a service in an xml document.
The & is causing an error. Is there anyway i can write some piece of code which will escape "&" as " & a m p ;"?
Here is my code snippet:
Public Function convert(ByVal robert As String)
Try
robert = Replace(robert, "U", "A")
[code].....
earlier with my program question and found out that """" is how you make " become another variable in the function:Robert = Replace(Robert.ToLower, """", "A")So now I am also trying to work with other keys like the semi-colon. I put it in the function like this:Robert = Replace(Robert.ToLower, "char(59)", "B")I also tried to insert ; in place of char(59) with in front of it as an escape key, none of this worked. It still just gives me a ; when I type

If I needed to escape a double quote character within a string literal I'd use two consecutive double quotes as follows:
Dim name = "Chuck ""Iceman"" Liddell"
However, it doesn't seem like consecutive # works the same way. The compiler is expecting a compiler directive to follow the # character, even when its enclosed in double quotes. How can tell the compiler that I want a # character in my string?
EDIT: as a few of the answers below point out, # is not a reserved character. I closed my solution in Visual Studio and re-opened it and no longer got the compiler squiggles warning me.
I am working on a sub that essentially needs to open a text file, and replace all instances of a certain character with a unicode character. I'm trying to do this by reading the original text file byte by byte, converting it to a character, and then either adding that character to a memory stream or writing the unicode character to the memory stream. Then I'm saving the memory stream to the original file.

I am writing a hangman type game and I am displaying the word to the user in a label as all *'s, but I cannot figure out how to have just one of the *'s changed in the label to the correct letter when the user inputs the correct letter into the text box and clicks the check letter button.Everything else in the program works perfectly, except for this part.[code]When I use the .Replace it changes all of the *'s to the correct selected letter.

All the names are different lengths so I was wondering if there was a simple way of replacing everything from the first bracket onwards?

What i am trying to do is take a character (which is going to be into a variable by user input) and search a string for this character, and save the positions of all character found and then change the same position of these characters in another string for the character that the user inputs. In other words, like a guess a word game. User tryes a guess, i search the string for that letter or number, if it's there replace it on the text box of the GUi, if not save it in another variable as a character that has been tried already, possibly an array.
View 1 RepliesLets say I have a label with the text "_ _ _ _ _ ", some underscores. Now what if I want the program to locate the 3rd underscore and replace with something else. Is this possible? I was guessing by getting the character's position first and somehow there is a function that replaces characters by their position.

How can I replace character/word in text (loaded to richboxtext) but only for those which are not on the "block" list ?
Dim str As String = RichTextBox2.Text
RichTextBox3.Text = str.Replace("1"c, "A"c)
But I want add list of words which should be excluded. I thought that I can do something like :
Dim str As String = RichTextBox2.Text
If Regex.IsMatch(RichTextBox2.Text, "shows") Then
Else
RichTextBox3.Text = str.Replace("%"c, " "c)
End If
RichTextBox3.Text = str.Replace("1"c, "A"c)
Dim str2 As String = RichTextBox3.Text
RichTextBox3.Text = str2.Replace("2"c, "B"c)
But it's not working as it will just skip replace of % for whole text and I want just just exclude particular word from list from being replaced...
