View 5 RepliesI'm trying to sort an array based on a structure but whenever I do this, it basically erases all the data in the entire array.I have verified that the array is populated correctly, it is when using array.sort that everything returns blank.

ReDim RollsCC(NumOfPlayers - 1)
For N As Integer = 0 To (NumOfPlayers - 1)[code]....
Here I am creating a temp single dimensional array, merging my 2d array into it, and then attempting to sort it by Rolls(N,1), which is a integer 1-6, Everything seems to be working right with the exception of this.
RollsCC.Sort(RollsCC, 0, 1)
How would one specify a numeral sort based on the first character in the string? im aware that I am switching Rolls(n,1) and Rolls(n,0) information during the sort.
I am using the Array type .Sort function to sort my array.By default it places the result Array into Ascending order Least to Greatest How do I change that to Descending order Greatest to Least?and How do I change it to Closest to logic? or does that not exist?Assume there is an Array of Numbers 0,13,21,-2,4,5,1.34 and I want them to sort closest to 0 or some other arbitray value; the Output should look similar to:
0,1.34,-2,4,5,13,21
I am creating a datatable and then adding a column to it which is filled with data from existing column and parsed into correct format DateSold is my existing column from my datafile and I create NewDateSold by adding the column to the existing table and then parsing the information in date format.
This is added to a binding source which then is used to populate a combobox I want to be able to sort the combo box by NewDateSold Desc I was able to this on the original column by simply using the "order By" in my query, it seems now that I added new column it is no longer sorted? I am finding different solution such as using dataview and wish to know the best way to do this
The gist of the program is to:
- Read a CSV file into an array
- Get this visible in a list box, so the values can be:
- Sorted
- Edited
- Deleted
- Added
- Finally save these manipulated values back to the text file
Would love some suggestions and code as to how to get this going, hopefully I'll get the hang of it and come back and fourth for help
I have a text document that contains a bunch of data sets. However before each data set there is a number surrounded by brackets. I need to go instance by instance of brackets and pull the number between the brackets and the lines after the brackets until the next bracket. Here is an example of the text file that contains the data. I know how to read from a text document, do substring, do contain function, etc... I just am extremely stumped on how to do this. Here is an example of a couple entries of the text document...

Notice how different sections have a different amount of lines therefore a reading a fixed number of lines is not an option.
I'm using the following code to read in a highscores file with the score written first and the player's name written to the next line, and then display the top 3 scores or fewer if there aren't 3 scores written to the file. A highscores display should have the scores sorted with the highest first so that's what this program tries to implement.
Array.sort() isn't doing a damn thing. In fact, the program's not even reversing the arrays like it should either. I've tested array.sort() this way with the names and scores arrays given explicitly and it works fine. I thought maybe it was still reading the data as string even though it's declared otherwise but it rounds off decimals when I change the array type to Integer so I'm pretty sure it's not that.
I have no idea why reading the data in from a file changes how it's sorted. My teacher didn't understand what was going on either. Does anyone know what's going on here?

View 10 RepliesI'm getting a list of files from a directory into an array, i.e.,
fileEntries.
The files names are all in this format: "xxx-04-03-2012.txt"
"xxx-09-24-2012.txt"
"xxx-12-25-2013.txt"
etc.
The parts after "xxx" are dates.
I'm trying to find the most recent/up-to-date one from these and do something to it. so I suppose I'll need to sort all these files in the array. I've been looking at the String class on msdn, not much progress..little bit overwhelmed.
I need to sort an array containing a list of words and search the same using binarysearch. For certain reasons, the word-list must always be sorted using the sorting-rules of "en-US" i.e. American Regional Settings. The code will run under various international Operating Systems and of course this will mean that the word-list will be sorted differently according to the local Regional Settings in use. One problem could arise on a computer/device running with Lithuanian Regional Settings. Why? Because the letter "Y" in most languages is sorted like X-Y-Z while in Lithuanian, the sort order is I-Y-J. This behavior would create havoc to my program.

However, in means of flexibility I believe Guffa's answer is the best one. Why? Let's use another example:In German, the letter Ö is sorted Ö-X-Z while in Swedish and Finnish, the order is X-Z-Ö. In Estonian the sort order is Z-Ö-X. Complicated, isn't it? Guffa's solution will let me force Swedish sorting-oder (changing CultureInfo) on a device running under German Regional settings. Using Comparer.DefaultInvariant with its association to English wouldn't help in this case, probably the letter Ö would end up with O. Therefore my vote will go to Guffa.

I created this command from a few examples which reads the text from a StreamReader, Trims, splits on EoL, and returns a unique list. My next command is a sort. I couldnt figure out how to add a sort to this command. Its really not that important but I was curious if there�s an easy way.
Additionally if there's a better way to take a text file into an array or collection I'm all ears.

I have profitMarginArray(29,3) <29 is actually a variable, but figured I'd put in a number for the example> and what I need is to retreive elements 0 and 3 sorted on 3 in some way shape or form. The biggest problem is element 3 isn't unique so there could be 5 that have the same value (56.34 for instance) so a sorted list is out.
The current array could look something like
Item1, .34, .75, 54.67
Item2, .32, .75, 57.33
Item3, .29, .5, 42

So basically, 10 rows and 3 columns and say I want to sort them by the values in the 3rd column.
Each row is essentially a record of data and must be kept together.
Now I know that you can't use the array.sort method but would I have to use a bubble sort or something for this?
What's a good way to manipulate the records while still keeping each row linked together somehow.

Both dimensions are strings. Obviously the values of 1,1 and 1,2 must stay together.
I have a semicolon delimited string (e.g. an EMail Address List returned from a database or a textbox). How do I separate the string into an array, sort, and remove duplicates? The code below works to separate the string and sort the results, but doesn't remove the duplicates. I could probably then loop through the array and copy to a new array to eliminate the duplicates, but there must be a better way to do this using the VB.Net Array, String, and Collections handling classes.
