I am working on a program that will take in a string of length 7 containing either R,G or B for the colours. The program will then check that the string if 7 in length and if it contains any other characters than R, G or B then it will be invalid. I created this code but when I enter the right string length and characters it always gives me the error for not having the right string length.

View 9 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.
MVC 3. Vb.net. Part of my app generates PDF files using Itextsharp. Some strings are too long to go onto the background image correctly. So I basically need to split this string when its over 26 characters long and when it splits it cant split in the middle of a word. from there I will use newline to add the string to the right to the next line... I did start bulding the function that I will pass the string into test for length and then pass back the string after it finishes.
Private Function stringLength(ByVal _string As String) As String
If _string.Length < 26 Then
_string.Split(
End If
End Function

View 2 RepliesI have a notify icon and I use the 'Text' property instead of 'BallonTipText' because I just like it better and it fits well with my application. The only thing wrong with that is the 64 character limit. How can I determine the length of a string, remove all characters after the 61st character, then add three periods at the end of the new string? I've looked around and can't find any solution to removing all characters after the first X characters.
View 4 RepliesUsing VB or C#, I am getting a string of variable length from the database. This information is sensitive information that only certain users will be able to see.I have two cases that will use the same logic (I think).scenario 1: replace all characters with xscenario 2: replace all characters with x except the last 4 characters (assume length > 4 - this check is being done).I thought that this would be easiest using Regex.Replace(input, pattern, replacestring). As opposed to a lot of string handling with substrings and forcing a length of 'x's.

I have an API that loads into memory from a button click. It can then either load an approx 10MB txt file (ASCII comma delimited characters/decimal list as a string) or live timed data from the internet. The idea is to be able to view the data in a text box. From there I can see what I am doing as far as spitting that info into a datagridview or database. The data is completely out of order in the txt file but has various Getinfo Functions / DLL's accessed via button clicks that split the data into its correct format to display in the text box. The problem I am having is not having fixed length strings in VB 2010. I don't know enough to work out if there is a simple work around or something more complicated required. Everything I have tried has left the textbox empty.

I have a title (in one line) that can have different lengths. I need to print this title on A4 landscape - page ( draw string in print page event), but always it should be located in the middle of the page, regardless of length. If I want to determine the exact location I have to calculate the length of the string in pixels. Or maybe there is a better way to center the string on page? How can I do it?

By my logic, this should only assign .length to index IF the length of strItem is longer than 0. This check is there in case the listbox is empty, or the user has not selected an item. However, everytime I go through this code without an item selected I get:

The above query works and returns values on first names that begin with whatever item I type in a text box.
How can I modify that code to search for items containing specified characters instead of just searching for items that begin with the specified characters. I would still need to use a wildcard because it is a search field. see below for an example
For example can I query the FirstName column to display people who's name contain the letters "an" in that order a before n but anywhere within the word e.g.
- Anna
- Jane
- Samantha
I need to parse an alphanumeric string leaving the characters "0-9", ".", "/" and space & remove everything else. I use "[^0-9./ ]" as my regex string and it works well. But now I have a couple other conditions that I dont know how to handle with my regex string. I actually only want to keep the "." character if it falls between two digit characters (ie. 3.5), otherwise remove it. And also I need to replace any "-" characters with a space if it falls between two digit characters (ie. 2-1), otherwise remove it.
