View 1 RepliesI'm having a very difficult task here. I need to analyze a certain text and find the minimum number of characters it needs to become a palindrome. The text will not have any special characters or numbers, just alphabet letters. Now, I've made some progression and have tried a lot of situations correctly, but in some situations I've gotten wrong outputs on the MINIMUM number of characters needed. I've tested the below texts:

View 14 RepliesI'm making a custom control suited for handling passwords. I have created a control that inherits from a text box and I have implemented a lot of things so far. But what i want to do now is create a system so that when a user types It will display his last character typed for a X amount of time.Is there a way to turn only selected characters into password characters and still be able to get the password text from the Text property ?

I am trying to do this but it doesn't work:
VB
Dim str As String = "07" & GetBetween("Stephen 0761234567", "07", vbNewLine)Dim op As String = "lol" TextBox1.Text.Replace(str, op)
GetBetween is just a function to match something between something else. That works fine, the string (str) sets as 0761234567 just like I want but when i try to replace the text it doesn't work.
I know that the topic is kind of weird, but I will explain that here. I am reading text from a text box and inserting that into a listbox.

View 4 RepliesI have a query to solve for which I have coded. But my code produces output only for those hardcoded values found in the text file. I have a text file which is given as the input to my code. The text file contains lines with "_DIA" , "_DIA_some number" etc. In this case I need to remove few letters from that field.
Eg: 1)if the name field contains 1234567_DIA_2.PRT, I need to remove "_DIA_2" from the name field and concatenate the .PRT with the number. 2)if the name field contains 1234567_DIA1.PRT, then remove "_DIA1" and concatenate. I need to store the number of characters removed and add so many number of blank spaces with the name field after the concatenation.
for the 1) case I need to concatenate and add 6 spaces with the name field. for the 2) case I need to concatenate and add 5 spaces with the name field.
I'm not sure how to find the number of characters from "_" to ".", underscore need to be considered in the counting and the dot(.) should not be taken into account.
Say I open a text file in a richtextbox control. After that I search for a specific string like "6.1". The string actually continues like "6.1XXXXXXX". I need to get not just only "6.1", but also 2 more chars after "6.1", like "6.1XX". I will then output this in a textbox, but I can do that, I don't know how to get the X number of characters.
View 4 RepliesI'm attempting to modify some random password generator code, and wanted to do something a little different. I would like to list all uppercase, lowercase, numeric and special characters next to a text box. In the four text boxes, you would select how many characters from each set you would like in your password. For example 4 uppercase, 2 lowercase, 3 numbers and 2 special characters. That would generate a random password 11 characters long. I can generate random passwords now, and have included a text box which allows the length of the password to be specified, but i would like the granularity of selecting from each set.[code]
View 7 RepliesI've written a piece of code that takes 3 fields from a database and writes out the 3 added together, but with the middle field cropped down, so that the total number of characters is always 28, what I thought was the width of my listbox. I realised when I debugged though, that the listbox was docked and grew or shrank depending on the size of the screen.
Is there a way to determine how many fixed width characters will fit in a control, at run time?
Is there a function in VB.net that allows me to divide a really long String into a specific number of characters? [code] The length of this string is 18 and I'd like to group it by 3, so each group would contain 6 characters. Is there an easier way of doing this? Is there a predefined function in VB.net? I'm already thinking of doing it manually, like converting the string into characters and storing them inside arrays.

View 1 RepliesI'm using this code to return some string from a tcpclient but when the string comes back it has a leading " character in it. I'm trying to remove it but the Len() function is reading the number of bytes instead of the string itself. How can I alter this to give me the length of the string as I would normally use it and not of the array underlying the string itself?
Dim bytes(tcpClient.ReceiveBufferSize) As Byte
networkStream.Read(bytes, 0, CInt(tcpClient.ReceiveBufferSize))
' Output the data received from the host to the console.'
[code]....
Len() reports the number of bytes not the number of characters in the string.

For a project I need to do a String strX is said to be a cyclic rotation of a String strY if it's possible to rotate the characters in strY by some number of positions, n, such that strY becomes strX. I don't mean rotate in a Caesar sense here but in a left-right (or right-left) sense. For instance, strX = abanan is a cyclic rotation of strY = banana because rotating the characters in banana to the right by n=1 (i.e., by one position), wrapping accordingly, yields abanan. Similarly is strX = anabana cyclic rotation of strY = banana because rotating the characters in banana by n=3.I need to write an application that returns True if strX is a cyclic rotation of strY otherwise the result is False. I'm looking into how to do this, I know it will involve and if then statement and possibly some loops. Is there anyone who can help me better understand what I should do?
