VS 2008 Random Words From A File?
Feb 2, 2012
I am making a program which generates Tambola Tickets. The program reads a list of movie names from a file and it randomly selects x no. of names per ticket and writes those names to a file.
For e.g. imagine there are 24 movie names. The program has to print 10 tickets and each ticket will habe 12 names.
I have written a program which does that but I think my random no. generator is repeating a few movie names pretty frequently.
plus I have to ensure that no one ticket can have a name repeated.
Dim NoTickets as Short = 10, Total as byte = 24 ' total = total movies in array
' Duplicate is function that ensures that no number is repeated
' MovieList is normal array with movie names

1. Is it possible to have vb.net piece together a legitimate word of a specified length, or do I need to have a massive word list, and generate a random number to pick a word from this list?
2. I also need to separate each letter of the word and display an image for each letter, and each letter going to the next based on a timer, and can also repeat on a button click.
Eg: TWO would end up displaying T W O, a few seconds apart from each other.

I'm trying to make a form that will read my wordlist. txt (one word or phrase per line) then using a timer, insert one word randomly selected from the list, and display it in textbox1 where it will remain until another timer changes the word. The word in the textbox will display for a random time 1min to 7 min, then the textbox displays another word randomly selected from the word list.

I am trying to get a random word in VB and was wondering if it was possible to do this through the internet some how? For example If there was a website that literally just contains random words (anything over 100 will do) and I could just select a random word from it? I can create random letters and numbers but I want a word that would be in a dictionary.

How would you select a random word from an array list. Here is my coding:
'Create a sub which reads the words from the file and selects a random word.
Sub ReadWordsFromFile(ByVal fileName As String, ByRef RandomWord As String)
'Create a random number generator.
Dim RandomNumber As New Random
Dim words As New ArrayList

For i = 1 To 200
alphabet = ChrW(rand.Next("A"),to ("z")
It is giving me that the expression must be expected. I have to choose and display the fifth vowel from the list of 200 random words.

I'm trying to create a program that produces random sentences as output. With five arrays of strings, one each for nouns, adjectives, verbs, prepositions, and articles. Each array should hold several words for that part of speech. Like, the Articles array could hold the strings "the" and "a"; the Nouns array could hold "Martian", "baby", "skunk","computer" and "mosquito"; the Prepositions array could hold "around", "through", "under", "over", and "by"; and so on.
It's supposed to generate sentences by randomly choosing eight words (randomly generating eight array indices) from these arrays, always constructing sentences by using the parts of speech in the following order: article, adjective, noun, verb, preposition, article, adjective, noun. Also, the code should be properly modularized so that the code to generate each part of speech is not repeated.

I have managed to learn a little of VB 2008 but I'm still struggling. I managed to convert one VB6 program to VB .net but all the file IO in it is sequential access.I'm trying to convert a VB6 program to .net. This program uses almost entirely random file IO.In one of the books I have, I found an example which, with a minor mod worked. I tried using that code to modify my program and it does not work. In my code, the FileGet results in the obj containing null strings. Yet in the sample program using the same structure, the obj contains actual data.The file is being opened because the record count is calculated correctly [iUpper = LOF(F_Trk) / TrkLen].
I used a Type in VB6 which I converted to a Structure in VB 2008. The function in which the problem occurs is below as well as the Structure declaration and the Function it calls (PAB) which is a derivation of the PathAddBackslash API call.Is there an easier, more efficient way to achieve the same results in VB .NET?[code].....[code]......

I have made a form with the media player built in to it.The only thing i'm missing to make it complete is a command that is executed with the click of a button. I need the button to enter a specified folder in the application root folder and choose a random video file to be played in the internal media player.
i have manage to show one specific file in the player, but i'm stuck with the random file picker. I manage to create a batch file that choose a random file from the folder, but the batch file will only open it in the default player and not in the internal player where i want it to be played.I have tried the array function but with no luck.. but i have a feeling that it is this function i need to use..

how to proceed. One of our customers is going to be sending me a flat file (ASCII-Text) that I have to break down and scan. Every line ends in a CrLf - So I know I can use StreamReader and ReadLine(). I did get it to work on one of the test files they sent.(A very Short file) However, the file is not delimited at all and every field is padded to the full length they specified. Here's the format of the file:

I am writing a program to calculate Pi to several hundred billion decimal places and this will require lots of GB of memory. I wrote a test program in VB2008 that saved the first 16 digits of Pi (without the decimal point) to both a text file and a random access file, just to be sure it was outputting the numbers properly. For reference the first 16 digits of Pi are:

I am using the following code, but cannot get this to work. I have got it to work if the replacement is just of one word. So if the word test is replaced by mouse and the only thing in the file is the word test, it works.
How can I replace like this:
CH_IPVOD_filename.mpg > replace the CH_IPVOD_ with nothing for the result of:
filename.mpg
?
I would like to replace every instance of ch_ipvod_ with nothing.
