View 39 RepliesI'm migrating from VB6 to VB.NET, in hence my questions below:
I have to write a function that returns array of strings.
How can I initiate it to empty array? I need it since I have to check if it's empty array after it returns from this function.
Is list of arrays better for this purpose? If I use a list - Is it empty when it firstly defined? How can I check it it's empty?
Say I have a List(Of Tag) with Tag being an object. One member of Tag, Tag.Description, is a string, and I want to make a comma-separated concatenation of the Description members.Is there an easier way to do this than to read the Description members into a List(Of String) and then use the Join function?
View 2 RepliesI have a list of strings. For each string in that list, I want to prepend another string. I wrote a method to do it, but I was wondering if there was something already in .NET I could use to do this. It seems like something that could be built in, but I was not able to find anything.
Here is the method I wrote:
Private Function PrependToAllInList(ByRef inputList As List(Of String), ByRef prependString As String) As List(Of String)
Dim returnList As List(Of String) = New List(Of String)
For Each inputString As String In inputList
returnList.Add(String.Format("{0}{1}", prependString, inputString))
[code].....
It works, but I would rather use built in functions whenever possible.
I'm going to start a project so what I need to do is make something that is kinda like an email. I am working with the register part of it because just like an email you have to select who to send it to.

I have been summoned with the task of taking a tab delimited file and converting that file so it can be read by a third-party program. I am trying to think of the best way to do this, but I am having a hard time. Here is a view of the raw data that must be altered:

I am toiling with the best way of doing this. So far, I am not having much luck. I have used arrays quite successfully in Java, but I am not sure that this is the best way to go here. I would have to get how many lines there are and read each line. Make the changes, and then go on to the next line. I think scanning the document line by line using a loop is the best way. However, I am not sure.
Hopefully this question will have an easy answer; I've tried searching for the answer myself, but I don't know what to search for (I don't know what you would call this).
Is there a way to compare a string to see if it matches more than 1 value?
[Code]...
I have a database of tables that I needed to do some comparison work on and sql server is limited to the means of doing string comparisons. I put all the data into lists and thought of using [URL] or string.contains but does not seem like it is working right. It is large amount of data and I need to be able to make some matches in order to avoid the manual checking of each string. Here is sample data and code;

I'm not sure of the name of the function i'm after but im trying to turn:

View 8 RepliesI once again feel so angry about VB .NET . Here's what ruined my day :Lets say we have have a string variable :
Dim Var1 As String = "blablabla"
If we want to replace something within it , we can use the Replace function :
Dim Var2 As String = Replace(Var1,"a","o")
This works great . My problem appears when I want to replace the " character (double quote) . Thus , when using :Dim Var2 As String = Replace(Var1,"""","o")it will return an error .Of course you may wonder why I care to replace the " character . You see this string variable receives its value from a text box . Thus , if the user uses the " character , I want to replace it with two ' characters (single quote) . Is this replacement possible in .NET
I am trying to write an app which allows the user to input two times , in a maskedtextbox, and take those two times and add them together then output the result to a third maskedtestbox, I havent seen anything else on the web with the same problem, only with fixed date or time, nothing that the user can change.
I am guessing you have to input the a maskedtextbox as a string then parse them to datetime, add the two together and the convert the date back to a string at runtime my code always bails out with a datetime conversion

View 7 Repliesim trying to read "calculator" from calc.exe, now i found the mem adress where the value resides but i have a few problems
1) how many bytes should i read? im not just talking about calculator string but potentially any length string, i get different results with 4/8 bytes but same from 8 - 32 bytes
2) when i read i get a long value 27866486557179971 but how to convert that into a string
EDIT: ok by staring at the return value long enough i discovered that when i convert it to hex it spells "calc" backwards, same for all other strings, i could build a working converter based on that knowledge but now what bugs me is where is "ulator" or the rest of the string, the most i can get is always 4 letters
EDIT2: oh nm that, by moving memory adress a step further i get the next letter along with 3 previous ones and still backwards but i can work with that
ok so now next step would be making a search function for which i need to find out the range of memory to scan, anybody know how to do that?
i have a multiline textbox and it add a load of info to it.

"This is line one" & vbCrLf & "This is line two" & vbCrLf & "This is line three " & chr(34) & "with extra stuff" & chr(34) & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Empty line above me"What is the best way to represent these types of Strings?

I need to read strings by stream! Is this possible? I've been searching for quite a while now, without results.So what i have is an application which gets song lyrics. The lyrics come in a string and i need to separate the string into multiple lines. Just to make that clear, lets say that im getting this text and put it into a string:
Bla bla bla..
Na nana na
And in string format = "Bla bla bla... Na nana na" but what i need to do is separate them into its original, line by line.I created an for each loop which looked for upper chars and when found, create a new line. But that didn't work out so well since the lyrics are written in proper english, using the upper "I" everywhere. So i created a new loop which ignored "I":es if they were followed by a space/blank " ". That didn't work either, it skipped some sentences.
