VS 2008 - Obtaining Characters Of String From Certain Word
Oct 21, 2010
I need to obtain the characters of a "string" from certain word (word "Repair") and including this word. This word is never in the same position.
Example string:
"Model: Machine: abcde Repair: getthis!"
I need to get: "Repair: getthis! "
Other example
Machine: dddddd Repair: hi"
I need to get: "Repair: hi"

I'm trying to read a word document for the purpose of obtaining a word count, I realise Word has built in functionality for presenting a word count but I want to write a little app that will omit certain parts of the document from the word count.
So far I have tried this code to open the document but I am getting an error 'Word.Document cannot be found' and 'Microsoft.Office.Interop cannot be found'. I have added a reference to the Microsoft Office 12.0 Object Library under the COM tab. I have Office 2007 installed and I'm using VB2005.
Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop
Dim appWord As New Microsoft.Office.Core.Application
Dim docWord As New Word.Document
docWord = appWord.Documents.Open("c: est.doc")

I am trying to strip the first 75 characters from various strings (sentences / phrases) and it seems right but I need to ensure that the no words are truncated in the process. Meaning that if the 75 character is part of a word it needs to fall back to the beginning of the word or nearest space..
I thought of stripping the entire string into separate words and then counting the length of combining the words and stopping when I reach the target but what do I do in the case when it is not a valid sentence just a bunch of characters jammed together or spaces and one character. I thought of using grammar parsing tool libraries and parsing into tokens etc but that seems too over complicated.
Here is what I have so far:
If htext.Length() > 75 Then
Dim regex2 As Regex = New Regex("^.{0,75}", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)
Dim m2 As Match = regex2.Match(htext)

I am working on RSS feed. In Rssfeed <description> (string) tag suggest using approximately 300 characters and then showing continuation with [...] after a word break.
<description>Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.

How we can do with a string by showing continuation with [...] after a word break?

I'm making an application that will change position of two characters in Word.

Program works good, it is mixing characters good, but it doesn't write text to the file. It will write text in console, but not in file. Note: Program is working only with words that are divisible by 2, but it's not a problem. Also, it does not return any error message.

I can search for the word Love in an .rtf file and return every occurance of the word into a RichTextBox. It returns the word and the scripture the word is in, but it also isreturning a bunch of weird text like: archan78988yykp etc etc. How do I onlyreturn the scripture with the searchedword, in this case the searched word is love. The code I am using is as follows:
<
If Line.Contains(Me.rtbSearch.Text) Then
'show search form

Is it possible using Reflection or some other method to obtain a reference to a specific class instance from the name of that class instance? For example the framework for the applications I develop heavily uses public class instances such as:
Public bMyreference as MyReference = new MyReference
Then throughout the application bMyReference is used by custom controls and code. One of the properties of the custom controls is the "FieldName" which references a Property in these class instances (bMyReference.MyField) as a string. What I would like to be able to do is analyze this string "bMyReference.MyField" and then refer back to the actual Instance/Property.
In VB6 I would use an EVAL or something simular to convert the string to an actual object but this obviously doesn't work in VB.net. What I'm picturing is something like this:
Dim FieldName as String = MyControl.FieldName ' sets FielName to bMyReference.MyField
Dim FieldObject() as String = FieldName.Split(".") ' Split into the Object / Property
Dim myInstance as Object = ......... ' Obtain a reference to the Instance and set as myInstance
Dim myProperty = myInstance.GetType().GetProperty(FieldObject(1))

I have a string of characters, but I would like to have a string of hexdecimal characters where the hexadecimal characters are converted by turning the original characters into integers and then those integers into hexadecimal characters. How do I do that?

now I want b(0) to have "H", b(1) "e", b(2) "l", and so on.
btw a changes everytime, so don't just say do b(0) = "H"

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. I need to replace the invalid characters at database and vb level. But I need to know first what the characters are.

I have a masked text box used to create an inhouse Fips code, the first 2 characters are the state abbreviation then 3 numbers. With the format on the mtb set to LL-000, i don't need to worry about the numbers. I am trying to see if a string contains the 2 characters I need from an array, but it isn't working the way I thought it would.
Dim toUpperCase As String = mtbFipsCodeTab.Text.Trim().ToUpper()
mtbFipsCodeTab.Text = toUpperCase
Dim fipsArray() As Char ={"AK", "AL", "AR", "AZ", "CA", "CO", "CT", "DC", "DE", "FL", "GA", _
"HI", "IA", "ID", "IL", "IN", "KS", "KY", "LA", "MA", "MD", "ME",

Not sure if too many people know this, but the following line will cause an error:
GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_"
....if the length of GroupName is less than 3 characters. I always thought it would simply return whatever characters in GroupName, but no, it errors. I must be thinking of the old VB6 days.So, I now have to change the code to:
If (GroupName.Length > 2) Then
If (GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_") Then
Note that the two comparisons need to be on separate lines. If they are on the same line, such as:
If (GroupName.Length > 2) and (GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_") Then then the code will still fail as the length command is executed at the same time as the substring command- which will cause the error when the GroupName length is less than 3.Just thought that those of us not aware of this should be!

I'm trying to write a function to find a word in a string in the this format : "ThisissometextthatIneedtofindandthisisthetext. This is another text."It's read as " This is some text that I need to find and this is the text. This is another text." but there is no space between each word. I want to get the word "text" or any word in that string. Can you help me with this function with a code sample ?
And I think that this method can be implemented with a string of Unicode also because in a sentence of Unicode it contains one or few, sometimes zero spaces between each word.

is there any function to validate if a string has only numerical characters? I can cross character for character and verify if it is a number. But I look for something simpler or if already a function like that exists.
I cannot use IsNumeric or IsDigit because it returns numbers to True with point or comma.
I need only numeric characters (no comma nor points

I've been looking into a way to obtain Parent Processes and then list them in a TreeView so I can list the child processes as child nodes However, it doesn't look like the framework has any built in methods. I thought I heard something about MS putting it in the .NET Framework 4.0. But, that's irrelevant at the moment.
Since there are no specific methods, is there still some way I can manually retrieve this info? Or would have have to use some unmanaged code? Maybe an API?

Is there any function or collection in VB.NET that checks if a string is a word? Like a dictionary?I'm making a random word generator, and I can get it to generate random strings, but it's be better if they were actual English words..I know something like System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary would work, but wouldn't you first have to add all of the words into the Dictionary?I guess what I'm looking for is a Collections.Generic.Dictionary with English words preloaded into it?

I have a problem where I am running a Console App to obtain some computer information on a pc. The pc has the following specs:
Windows XP Media Center Edition 2002
Service Pack 3
2 GB RAM
.NET Framework 3.5
The script runs fine on my Vista Ultimate PC. However, my friend runs it on his pc and nothing is written to the file. The directory and the file are being created, but nothing is in the file. Is there something that I am missing about XP Media Center Edition?
Here is the code:
Dim cFile As String = "C:System InformationsystemInfo.txt"
Dim objWriter As New System.IO.StreamWriter(cFile, False)
Try
Dim mObjOS As ManagementObjectSearcher = New ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem")
Dim mObjCS As ManagementObjectSearcher = New ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem")

I have a button on a web page labeled "Send to MS Word" that redirects to an .aspx page that on-load includes the following:
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-word"
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=""BOC ScoreCard.doc""")I also build a Dataset that gets info from an MS SQL database. The information within the database includes French Accent Characters, for example: When the user clicks the button, everything works ok except the French Accent Characters.

For each character of this string I want a new character out of the string and then remove the character from the list of characters that still maybe used for other characters. It may not get the same character, you could basically just call this encryption, but it's not what I am making. I don't want to waste my time doing this one hour while VB can do this for me in <1 second.

I have written a program that uses an array of the english alphabet and Morse code. I also built a form with a input box for the alphabetic information and an output box with the Morse Code. What i am trying to do is basically type a word like "Hi" in the input box and produce the Morse Code equivalent in the Morse Code output box. [Code] This works but only one letter at a time. Do i need to Parse the string of characters one at a time, and then run it through a loop like i have created?
