VS 2008 : Multiple String Parameter Replacing?
Aug 27, 2009
I'm reading a text file that has ZPL language for sending strings to a Zebra printer. Each line has one parameter that is replaced with a value. However, the line posted below has multiple parameters that need to be replaced with values.
'''''Line from text file
^FO005,005^A0R,035,025^FD(01)90723236{strLabelNumber}{intCheckDigit}(3201){strNetWeight}(11){strProductionDate}(21){strOrg}{strBoxNumber}^FS
[code]....
I can replace one parameter with one value using string.replace, but how would I continue to process the rest of the string? Would I replace the first parameter then reevaluate the string again to find another parameter until no more parameters are found?

I'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 am using vb.net to parse my own basic scripting language, sample below. I am a bit stuck trying to deal with the 2 separate types of nested brackets.
Assuming name = Sam
Assuming timeFormat = hh:mm:ss
Assuming time() is a function that takes a format string but
has a default value and returns a string.
[code]....
I could in theory change the syntax of the script completely but I would rather not. It is designed like this to enable strings without quotes because it will be included in an XML file and quotes in that context were getting messy and very prone to errors and readability issues. If this fails I could redesign using something other than quotes to mark out strings but I would rather use this method.
Preferably, unless there is some other way I am not aware of, I would like to do this using regex. I am aware that the standard regex is not really capable of this but I believe this is possible using MatchEvaluators in vb.net and some form of recursion based replacing. However I have not been able to get my head around it for the last day or so, possibly because it is hugely difficult, possibly because I am ill, or possibly because I am plain thick. I do have the following regex for parts of it.
Detecting the parentheses: (w*?)((.*?))(?=[^(+)]*((|$))
Detecting the square brackets: [[(.*?)]](?=[^[+]]*([[|$))

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.

Sorry if this seems like I haven't searched, however I have. Maybe I'm not understanding something or maybe I just haven't found what I need. Anyway my question is this. How would I find multiple strings in a text file and replace them? So far I've been able to find out how to replace a single string with:

I currently have a very long column (5,000+) of which a lot of cells start with a range of zeros which I want to get rid of (the zero's that is). After importing the data from a txt file, I have a loop going through each row in turn getting data from different cells. So I could amend when teh data is being imported or during the loop reading the data.

i'm trying to create a program that is highly edible. Users will be able to change multiple things by just replacing the existing dlls. Kind of like a modding ability. The new DLL shouldn't have to recreate every function though, it should only include the ones that it changes and then hook to the old dll for anything that it doesn't have. Is there a way to dynamically do this? Reference another dll (like a proxy) through yourself for anything that doesn't exist in its self?

I am getting an error - "Failed to convert parameter value from a String to a Int32"
Background Information:
Table: Customer
Fields: CustomerID, Title, Forename, surname, street, town, country, postal code, home phone, mobile phone, work phone, email.
All the data types in this are Strings with the exception of CustomerID.
Table: Country
Fields: CountryID, Country
CountryID = Integer, Country = String
There is a relationship between country.country and customer.country. I have made country a combo box with the contents of country inside it. This problem is resolved if I remove country as an input - but I need it in!

I am trimming some strings but I am unable to do anything about the strings containing plus signs. For example if I have this string with a telephone number
Dim str As String = "+46765124246"
And try
str.replace("+46", "0")
Nothing changes in the string.

I have an issue, i have a program im working on, that i have been working on and im trying to replace a whole block of text. I do it in one spot in my code and it works great, but in a different part of my code, even though im using the same exact logic and pretty much the same code (other than slight variable changes) it will not work, and i have no idea why, it just like ignores it. I took some screenshots:If you look hard the only difference is the "S12000" (top pic) is changed to "S6000" (bottom pic). The pic shows this part about 3/4 of the way thru it.

i have an array that contains a-z.When i enter text like "ab" into a textbox and click the button, it will search the array and replace the text accordingly to the index number of the array and rewrite into the textbox with the index number.
But what i got from the code below is "ab0 1".May i know how to do so that the textbox will only display the index number and not with the letters. Also, how do i search the array from index 12 onwards to the end of the array.
For Each b As String In TextBox2.Text
If abc.Contains(b) Then
Dim ab As Integer = Array.IndexOf(abc, b)

Below is the section I'm having trouble with at the moment:
Friend Sub glbHooks_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As KeyPressEventArgs) Handles glbHooks.KeyPress
newStr = newStr & LCase(e.KeyChar)
[Code]....
Neither of these worked, though the 2nd one would clean up my code a bit. Unfortunately I'm getting an "Expression expected" error on that "newStr = If..." line. I know there's supposed to be a "Then" somewhere along it but I don't know where it's supposed to be and the poster hasn't gotten back to me on that yet.

What I basically have is a small game which I want to count wins/loss/ties. I have no problem with the game aspect but need to know how I can replace a string in a csv file. IE: If Jim wins the game, his 5 needs to be turned to a 6. After googling quite a while I came across the replace() function, but it doesn't actually rewrite it back to the text file

I am wondering how to replace two variables in a query from selections that the user makes. One variable is chosen by a combo box called cboYEARMONTH and the other is selected from a list view called employeeListView. I know that I can use .replace to insert the YearMonth into the string but, how do I also replace the EmployeeID in the query string?

I'm using the Oracle command dbms_output.get_line to retrieve output from a stored procedure. Once my code runs the command, I'm retrieving the results through a buffer string, 32000 bytes long.Inevitably, this string will have Oracle line breaks (chr(10) and chr(13)) in it that I'd like to replace with Environment.NewLine so I can display the output in a standard Winforms textbox.Here is the code I've been using - I don't recall exactly where I got the Oracle command right now, but if I find it, I'll add the link.
Dim cmdGetOutput As New OracleCommand("declare " & _
" l_line varchar2(255); " & _
" l_done number; " & _
