Parsing A Textbox String And Returning Substrings To Multiple Textboxes

Nov 17, 2010

i've done some basic parsing with text files before.

Scenario is i have 4 textboxes String (which contains the string i'm wanting to parse) sub1, sub2, and sub3. so the string is ex. 500000-1-2

- is the char that is the seperator

so the aim here is to get

500000 into sub1
1 into sub2
2 into sub3

the real string i'm wanting to parse is much more complex, but i'm keeping it simple here for a jumping off point so i can figure the rest out.

How To Identify SubStrings In Text

May 6, 2009

I have a large string in which I need to replace specific strings with other values. For example, within this string I might see the following characters: [[sub id=5]]. I am trying to replace those substrings with values, pulled from a table and based on the id. What would be the simplest way to accomplish this. My first thought was to loop through and examine each character and note their positions when they match the pattern. I would then have to identify the id. That would be fairly complicated, however, and there must be a better way.

so say I have a string called Cmd, and the text inside the string is Restarting server in ()..., what I was wondering was how I would go about inserting different substrings like 3, 2 and 1 in between the two parentheses? I know about Cmd.Insert() but I don't know how I would make it go between the two parentheses.

Loading Text File And Then Search For SubStrings

Dec 16, 2010

Trying to write an app to load a Text file and then search for substrings that contains some specific characters to compose a list. Tried first loading the text file into a StreamReader then search line by line for my substrings. Had to write a lot of code to identify my strings, but it worked ok. Then tried loading the text file into a RichTextBox then use RichTextBox.Find(......) to look for my substrings. The " .Find" property makes the code really simple, but using RichTextBox the app was really slow.

Using Stream the loop was completed in about 2 minutes and using RichTextBox in about 30 minutes! I will need to make a lot of searches and using RichTextBox is lots easier, but is too slow. Is there any way to perform search operations using Streams instead making a loop and go looking line by line??? Or what else would be a good solution to search for strings in a text file??

RegEx - Splitting First Parameter Into Array Of SubStrings

Sep 25, 2010

I am a little bit confused by the following VB statement
commands = Regex.Split(script, _
"GO", _
RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)

I know what regex.split does. I know what the first parameter is. The second parameter is what I'm confused by. I think it is using the word "go" as a delimiter to split the first parameter into an array of substrings. But I don't understand what that refers to.

I am trying to write a program that separates a string into 2 substrings.Lets say I need the entire string to be 15 letters long.I need to break the string up so that the program reads it as two words.Lets say that the first word has to be 8 letters long and the second word has to be 6 letters long.So if I type it like this: Computer Screen

That should be 15 letters including the space between the two words.I need the program to read the string to make sure that the entire string is 15 letters long and if its 15 letter long continue, but if it is not 15 letters long stop and give me an error.If is 15 letter long next the program needs to read and make sure that the first word is 8 letters long and if it is print out the first word and continue but if not it needs to give me error.

Lastly if the first word is 8 letters long it needs to read and make sure that the second word is 6 letters long and if it is print out the second word and then continue, but if it is not give me error.The problem I'm having how to declare the first and second word and substrings, can someone please help me understand how substrings works and declare them after I have declared a string.

Find Multiple Buttons With WaTin?

Jan 13, 2010

I have a facebook account that has around 1200 friend request. Obviously I dont wanna go through and click each one. So I figure I would make a App for it. So I have it working, but its going sooooo Slow....I have it, Clicking the first Confirm button then closing IE, Then opening it back up and clicking the next one. I know it would be alot faster if i could keep that instance of IE open and have it go through and click each Confirm Button but I cant figure out away to do it. If I put it in a loop, it will submit the first one, then when it loops for the second time it finds the first one again, and says its disabled. Any Idea of how I can get it to move on to the next Confirm button? Here is the code I got written so far.

Find String In Multiple Files?

Apr 9, 2010

I've created a button and textbox which allows me to do an openfiledialog and select multiple files. The problem is, after selecting multiple files, when I run the program it doesn't run through all files selected, just the first file. I know I'm missing an integral part of code here, but not sure what it is.

For testing purposes I've created similar code and output to a textbox shown below. I would expect that each file selected by multiselect would appear in the textbox provided.

Dim OFD As New OpenFileDialog
OFD.Title = "OFD"
OFD.InitialDirectory = "C:"

VS 2008 Does FIND Always Find Within The FILTER Of A Binding Source

Jun 8, 2009

I've got a form - CMCConsole It pops up a dialog form for adding a new case.If the matter number in a textbox on that dialog form matches an existing cases matter number I would like to find it in the binding source of the CMCConsole form

Private Function CheckMatter(ByVal MtrNum As String) As Boolean
Dim cfIndex As Integer = CMCConsole.caseBS.Find("MatterNumber", MtrNum)
Dim cfIndex2 As Integer = CMCConsole.casefileBS.Find("MatterNumber", MtrNum)

[code]....

But it appear the filter for the CASE we were just on that is set on the binding source is keeping the FIND from seeing other cases.

caseBS.Filter = "CaseId=" & e.Node.Tag.ToString

Do I have to clear the filter in order to find a matter number in some other case??

Find / Replace Multiple Text In Rich Textbox?

Apr 12, 2012

I am trying to open up a text file that contains some text. I have 3 text boxes on my screen. What I need to figure out is how to replace multiple words (1 in each textbox) with text it finds in the txt file.

I can do this by using the single find / replace feature but I'm trying to be able to fill out the 3 textboxes and then click my find / replace button to have my Regex find each predefined word and replace it with what is in the text boxes.

Here is my code to get the find / replace one word at time feature. I've tinkered with this to just add more variables to my Regex but it doesn't seem to work.

Find Total Overlap Percent Of Multiple Rectangles ?

Jun 19, 2012

I've got a list of System.Drawing.RectangleF objects that all overlap the same RectangleF object.In my picture below, the 3 overlapping rectangles would be the pink, yellow, and red rectangles.My main rectangle in question is the light blue rectangle.

Second Image: I know that with RectangleF objects I can use the Intersect() method that will return me another RectangleF object representing the overlap. But as far as I can tell, this only really works when comparing two rectangles.

My question is: How could I determine the TOTAL area/percentage (i.e. the combined total overlap of the red, yellow, and pink rectangles when compared to the light blue rectangle - but it would need to be smart enough to not count the area in which the red and yellow overlaps twice, and same for the pink and yellow)?

NOTE: The green lines represent the area I'm looking for, just the total area of the blue rectangle that is not visible.

UPDATE: I've added a 2nd image to further demonstrate what I'm looking for. In the second image, the presence of the burgundy rectangle should have no affect on the total percent covered because that area is already covered by the yellow and green rectangles.

Find All Instances Of A Letter If It Appeared Multiple Times In A Word?

How would I find all instances of a letter if it appeared multiple times in a word? For example if I had the word 'mississippi', how would I find every 's' or every 'i' or every 'p'?

I know how to use the string.IndexOfMethod() so I was thinking I could find the first letter, mark that position, and search again from there. Then I would keep looping until the end of the letter. But I'm not sure how to signal the end of the loop.
