My problem seems simple but I can't find an answer for it.I need to be able to pull a phone number (string) from an entire string. example: "My phone number is (xxx) xxx-xxxx, call me as soon as possible."
Its obvious to me that the phone number should be able to change depending on who you are talking too. So the question becomes, how do i search for the phone number's format within the above string?
What do I use to find the position of a certain character in a string? Lets say I had a number 12345.6789 I want to know how far the decimal point is from the left? Of course the position of the decimal will change as the number will change.
View 1 RepliesI've got an issue with a program I am writing. The specific issue is replacing characters in a parent string by finding, and matching, specific characters within it that are parsed from an external xml file. It's for a chat-like client.Here's the 2 classes I am using to pull the emote strings, titles, and id from external XML:
Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions
Imports System.Xml.Serialization
Public Class emote

i have a string array that i want to output to a text file. the array size is 10000. i fill the array starting from 0 with some strings. at the end, i only want to show the array from index 256 to the last array that is not empty (for eg. if the array is filled with data from 0 to 2000, i only want the text file to show the data from 256 to 2000 and ignore the remaining strings). Is there any function to do this?t i use is shown below

strArray.WriteLine("{0,10}{1,30}", "Index", "Symbol")

I have a somewhat unique problem that I have looked for an answer to and continually hit brick walls. The problem is this. I'm using vb.net to read a byte array from memory which total 32768 in length, which is converted to a string. The memory is the active console chunk in the game Call of Duty 4.

is instr used in vb.net for this?

I think VB has a way of doing this, but for the life of me I can't find it. I want to search through a string for anything contained between two certain characters, e.g between 2 | characters. I'm not sure if I want to split the string at this point, but I only want anything contained between the two | markers. So for example if the string reads |ABC|DEF I only want to retrieve the ABC, but not the DEF as it's not completed yet.
View 3 RepliesI want to be able to find both spaces using the indexof method. Here's my code so far. Basically the program will turn the string "Will Smith" to "Smith, Will" But I noticed when I type in a name with a middle initial or middle name "Will J Smith" I would get "J Smith, Will" And I want to be able to find that second space when its there and apply a code that would produce "Smith, Will J" When there is a second space. How would I go about doing so?

How do I make my If..Then statement return the highest value of row 0's x? My output (by changing the if then statement) will either return the first or last entry in row 0. I hooked up my code to a list box and got all the data to list perfectly i just don't know how to get the highest number after i use the formula for x (which is {c1-c2}/c2).
I made a Windows service which daily deletes some records from a SQL Server database. But i don't know what my connectionstring should look like ... the service and the database will both be located on the server.I found this example, which parts do i need to change ?

Basically what I'm trying to achieve is to extract all the words within a piece of string and transfer that from one text box to another text box.
An example piece of the string would be
<laugh:894u8438:4434:words>
However the words within the string will never remain constant and the characters before and after will change. Is there anything that will read the string and take a word from the string without it being pre-programmed. The string it is reading from is uploaded from a text file.

any other approach on finding next word in a string. What im trying solve is this.
Lets say this is the whole paragraph.
Hello visual basic
Hello visual basic
Hello visual basic
Hello visual basic
Hello visual basic
Hello visual basic
now i search for the word basic.if i press the button find. the first "basic must highlighted, and then if i press again the button the next "basic" is the highlighted one and so on.I already finsih that scenario. What i've done is that first im going to search all the positions of the word and then store it in a array. Then after the array populated with different location of the word that is searching. that is the time i call all the indexes of the array one by one. But i don't want my approach because imagine i have 10000 words. and i search for a word or letter. Lets say the result is 5000 match. so it needs my array to be size in 5000. what a mess in memory.
I don't want to used the FinsString or Find function of VB i want some algorithm to do this. Anyone have a easy approach..
I have a networkstream (using C#/VB.NET). while on reading values coming like this:
&% 68 kg K A&% 23 kg K A&% 174 kg K A &% 68 kg
&% 34 kg K A&% 2334 kg K A&% 68 kg K A &% 68 kg K A
&% 2348 kg K A&% 78 kg K A&% 28 kg K A&% 68 kg
The numerical(weight) value will be continuously varying.
Every time i am reading the starting of the stream differs. But the pattern remains the same. How to split that into '&% 78 kg K A' which represents one set.
How to extract the weight value from this stream using Regex or any other methods?
I have like a three word expression: "Shut The Door" and I want to find it in a sentence. Since They are kind of separated by space?
View 6 RepliesI have a text file that is automatically generated by an older computer system daily. Unfortunately, the columns in this file are not delimited and they are not exactly fixed width (each day the width of each column could change depending on the amount of chars of the data in each column). The file does have column headings, so I want to find the width of each column using the column headings. Here is an example of the column heading row:
JOB_NO[variable amount of white space chars]FILE_NAME[variable amount of ws chars]PROJECT_CODE[variable amount of ws chars][carriage return]
What I want to do is get the index of of the first char in a column and the index of the last white space of a column (from the column heading). I would want to get the index of the "J" in JOB_NUM and the last white space before the "F" in FILE_NAME for the first column.I guess I should also mention that the columns may not always be in the same order from day to day but they will have the same header names. I know I can use the string.indexOf("JOB_NO") to get the index of the start of the column, but how do I get the index of the last white space in each column? (or last whitespace before the next first non-whitespace that denotes the start of the next column)
I am working on a program and for one of my features, I need to replace all spaces in a program with - (dashes.) Is there a way in which I can do this?
Example:
Start String = "The rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain."
End String = "The-rain-in-Spain-falls-mainly-in-the-plain."

Im trying to make an on access file scanner, YES I know that C++ is better, but this is a concept of thought, trying to challenge myself to see if its possible in vb.
Anyways, I have a list of Hex definitions, my question is, how can I index this list so I can access the definitions faster. A definition looks like this:
Eicar.Test.File.a=58354f2150254041505b345c505a583534285
The part after the equals sign is the HEX signature, while the first part is the name of the definition.
Basically what I am trying to do is index them somehow where I can scan faster, as I have over 60,000 definitions and I have to split each individual one in order to get the signature name. It takes about 45 seconds or so to scan a 500KB file. I need it to be WAY faster.
I'm trying to find a pattern in a string, I guess is very easy but I'm terrible in regular expressions. I have a big text and I need to find all the next type of pattern:
{a|b|c}
That can be also something like this: {a|b|c|s|f|f|ft|r} or any number of items inside but at least 2 items so the pipe symbol is another key. Is this an easy regular expression? I'm using vb.net 2005.

I have a string. I need to check what characters it contains because certain invalid characters are causing my sql query not to work. In the query I select where SupplierName is equal to the string.
