I am having trouble figuring out how to parse a string with delimiters. I have a text box which the user inputs data or what ever. I need to figure out how to parse the string and display it in a listbox, each word in a single line. Here is what I have so far, my book doesnt explain parsing very well and I'm stuck
View 2 RepliesI have the html of a page loaded into a string.
confirmUse('??????','Eat'
I want to extract the number that the ?'s represent however confirmUse is used in other parts of the page. The only constant is the 'Eat' which is unique to this specific number.
I usually use Mid and Instr to find what I need but when I try to back track it gives me an error because the index number is below 0.
I have a text file with preferences in it. I read the file and find text on a particular line like this:If InStr(sLine, "avidDirectory") Then This is my line in the text file: avidDirectory "S:Avid MediaFiles" "D:Avid MediaFiles" "Z:Avid MediaFiles"..What I need to do is read each string between the quoations marks and place each one in a text box.I have 5 texts boxes to use if there are 5 different directories above (only three in the example above)So I guess I need to capture the text between the quotation marks, create a new string from it, and place that string into a text box [code]
View 1 RepliesI'll start off by saying I am using Visual Studio 2008 Standard. I am creating a program that will open installed programs using short code. For instance, if a user types in 'npp' then Notepad++ opens. I have it working just fine to respond to the predefined commands, but I would like to expand it so that the user can define their own settings simply by typing the program directory and the custom short code they want: Example: If I am an end user and would like to say define a short code for Windows Media Player, I would simply type the following: (Assuming Excel or likewise is used to open the csv file).

View 4 RepliesI'm wanting to have the option in my app to save configuration settings and then be able to import them on another machine or when the application is launched later. So I've got my saving routine working fine, using the XmlWriter class to write various settings to the XML file. I'm not quite sure what I should be using to do the parsing of the XML file to read the settings back in though, as there seems to be a few different ways to do this.Should I be creating an XmlDocument instance from the XML file and then using the ReadNode method or one of the other similar methods? Or should I be using the XmlReader class and one of its methods?is the format of my XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

I am using the xmldocument (loadxml) and xmlPathNavigator to parse xml files I am compiling through a incoming stream. The first point of processing the files is to split the file into the different entries and add those to a list. I do this using either xmlPathNavigator or string.split if either one fails.At times both will fail because of some issue in the xml and would still like to salvage the file contents without having to fix the xml. I tried to use regex parsing but its not producing the content as I would like. I use the following code but in the end I do not get all the contents of the entry, only those between some of the tags.

Just a little problem; seemingly easy but doesn't seem quite so straightforward as it should be. I am pulling an XML file from a server using the web browser control and the using the DOM innertext property to assign the contents of that XML page to a variable.
I would like to be able to efficiently parse through this variable as if it were an XML file. I have posted the output below.I can work out how to load an XML file using the LoadXML method from a disc or URL but I would prefer to parse it from within the variable. I know this should be simple but I was wondering what the best class to use would be as the most efficient / easy way of parsing data.
I am basically looking to extract each of the details for each <application> into an array.

I am writing a tool that logs stats for a first person shooter game. The game writes its information (including who killed who with which weapon) to a log file, which I read every so many seconds and parse so that I can write that information to a database.I am now having trouble parsing the weapon out of that string of information.
Some additional information is required: a weapon in this game can contain attachments (such as a scope, a grenade launcher, etc). Weapons can have either 1 or 2 attachments. Some weapons however cannot have any attachments at all.
Each log file entry that describes a kill contains a code that describes the weapon that was used. This code is a concatenation of either 3 or 4 parts:
<weapon>_<attachment>_mp
<weapon>_<attachment1>_<attachment2>_mp
where <weapon> is a code that describes a weapon and <attachment> is another code describing the attachment.This should be easy to parse by just splitting along the underscore characters, but there's a few catches:
1. Some attachments are able to kill players as well. Specifically: grenade launchers, flame throwers and underbarrel shotguns. In this case, the attachment is listed before the weapon:
<attachment>_<weapon>_mp Note also that in this case there is always only 1 attachment.
2. The biggest catch: some weapon names have an underscore in them (some even have 3 underscores)! So simply splitting along the underscore won't work in all cases; if the weapon name contains an underscore I'm splitting the name of the weapon..This makes the list of possible combinations a lot longer. The ones I can think of (I think these are all):

I have written a function which logs into an FTP server and recursively lists all of the directories within a given folder into an XML string (example below).

I'm creating a vb.net winforms application that will take in user given strings, parse them, and print out labels with variable information. The given string will be used in all the labels, but the variable part of the string will change with each label.
My question is: is it better to parse the strings one time, then store those values in arrays, or to parse the string each time a label is printed? Which will perform better? Which is better practice? What is the proper way to test something like this?
I am reading in a line in this format: AL93895200 How do I get each of the items in the line that are separated by a space. I think it should go something like this:

But as you can see, I don't know how to actually get that to work.
Let me preface this by saying I'm VERY limited in my programming knowledge/experience using any language. I mean I have extremely basic capabilities and don't quite understand this stuff inside and out like most of you do.Anyway, I'm trying to code a fantasy football draft program in VB 2010 that utilizes the MS Internet Transfer Control 6.0. It will retrieve the HTML from a website, say ESPN, and parse the data into player names, rankings, and other stats. Should all be simple strings/sub-strings. It will then populate a DataGridView control so that each row in the DGV has the player's name, ranking, projections for the season, etc. After this has been populated, the program will be designed to allow me to draft players and assign them to the various teams automatically. I am the commissioner and we do an off-line draft, so I will just make picks for everyone and submit them online later.

Is there a way to use strings in Enums like the example below:

It seems like you can only use integers for the underlying values.
I guess my question has two parts:
1. My program has to read text out of a text file. I use some HTML tags to preserve the formatting. For example, I might have the line "this is a <b> line </b> of <b> text </b>" where "line" and "text" are bold. How do I make it so the string prints to a RichtextBox, but only "line" and "text" are bold? I would use a RichTextbox.SaveFile method, but the program works by reading a group of richtextboxes in a flowlayoutpanel and appending them to a single text file.
2. How would I extract the text from between two strings? For instance, I have created special tags for use in my program. These tags tell the program where to add controls. Say my string was:
"[IMG= "dog.jpg" /] this is a picture of a dog. [IMG= "cat.jpg"] this is a picture of a cat."
For each occurrence of the string "[IMG=", I would need it to find the corresponding "/]" and extract the text between the two. I could maybe do something with a substring function. I don't know.
how do i concatenate strings? i have done it like this.
