I'm trying to find some words within a string so I can use them as headers. The string has different characters involved like letters, numbers, colons and so on. I've used the Mid function but it wouldn't work if the amount of characters in the string changed. The string isn't automatically coded in as it's a text file that's uploaded.There are multiple words I need to find within the string also.

I'm trying to write a function to find a word in a string in the this format : "ThisissometextthatIneedtofindandthisisthetext. This is another text."It's read as " This is some text that I need to find and this is the text. This is another text." but there is no space between each word. I want to get the word "text" or any word in that string. Can you help me with this function with a code sample ?
And I think that this method can be implemented with a string of Unicode also because in a sentence of Unicode it contains one or few, sometimes zero spaces between each word.
I am trying to create a function that searches each line of a richtextbox and returns that row if one of many search phrases are found.The app works wonderfully when used with longer words or muli word phrases as the search criteria.The problem I have is if the search word/ criteria contains a small string such as bae or sp then I get alot of false positives. Anytime bae or sp is found within any word it returns the results.I need the function to stop looking within the words for results and instead look at the word as a whole for a match.Below you can see that I am taking each line of text in the richtextbox, removing most non-alpha numberic characters and replacing them with spaces.Then I have it remove any double spaces with single spaces.For the search term list I have it take the text before the delimiter;and do the same.Trouble I am having is,if the search term is SP and the search phrase is "This is a space shuttle lauch"it will return the sentence since the sentence contains the word "space" which starts with sp.[code]

string = "hi this is <b>testing</b>"
When i enter the word "testing" in textbox and click on search then it is highlighting the word "testing". but when i enter "is testing" in textbox and click on search then it is not highlighting the word "is testing". this is due to there is bold tag for "testing".
How can we highlight the word which is in bold tag...

I am currently using the code below within a VB.Net application to find specific text in a Word document. The text is surrounded by symbols represented by the character codes in the .Text statement. The code below is working fine. The issue now is that sometimes the desired text within a document has been marked for deletion and appears as tracked change within the document. I would like to find only the desired text that has NOT been marked for deletion. Does anyone know of a way to determine if the found text is a deletion?

I have used Webbrowser control in editable mode.I am using IHTMLTxtRange for find a word and replacing it with other word.I have to find and replace internally in my code.Following is my code:-
Public Sub FindReplaceText(ByVal sfindText As String,
ByVal sReplacetext As String)
Try[code].....
It works fine for all find and replace except if the word contains vbnewline.E.g If in webbrowser control I enter 'Hii <vbnewline> Hello'The above two words contain Enter key(i.e vbnewline) between them.If I pass following string to my Method it doesn't recognize the whole word and doesn't replace the word. I have called my method as
FindReplaceAll("Hii"+vbnewline+"Hello","HiiiHelloReplaced", False, False)
Does IHTMLtxtRange support vbnewline in Findtext method?If not how can i do? All the above Find and repace need to be done in code and not by popping up the form for find and replace
I was using .indexof("myword"), then all of a sudden huge problem and headache... i was using .indexof("produce") and then it kept replacing the word produced cause produce was triggered by the first 7 letters.then i tried to use .contains("produce") and it did the same thing.so basically it doesnt search for the WHOLE word, if a WHOLE WORD begins with the phrase your searching for then it wont work.so how do i search for WHOLE words?

View 1 RepliesIs there a way in LINQ to Entities (SQL) to identify all records where a specified word is repeated at least/less than a specified number of times?
I can do this in memory, looking for at least 3 instances of the word "word" using:
Where(Function(x) x.Description.Split("word").Count > 3)
However the Split() function cannot translate to a SQL equivalent, and so this can only be executed in-memory, which is excruciatingly slow by the time any number of records are involved.
The SQL to do this would be something like
WHERE Description LIKE '%word%word%word%'
And that's as far as I get - I can't work out how to get that SQL generated by LINQ to Entities. I tried the ugly hacky .Where(Function(x) x.Description.Contains("word%word%word") on the off chance, but I'm almost relieved that it doesn't work!
Let's say I have an object that contains a Word property and a Sentence property. The sentence must use the word, and I want to replace the word in that sentence with a link using a public function (say, GetLinkedSentence). The catch is maybe the sentence uses a plural form of the word and maybe the "word" itself is actually a phrase, or is even hyphenated. There's no length limit to the word either. How do I find and replace this word (in ASP.NET, preferably VB) with a link [word])?
