For example:c:filesfile.zip - is the stringhow can i just make it so it's file.zip?keep in mind that the location is found by using anpenfiledialog(), so it needs to be able to remove the location wherever the file is.
View 6 RepliesI have an object folder, which has an atributte name path, that contains a string with it's current path, say "folder1folder2folder3"
I need to remove the last ocurrence beginning on the last "" (in this case, 'folder3'). The new string would be "folder1folder2"
program makes strings from webbrowser documenttext.For example

dim mychar as char () = {"<"c, "s"c, "p"c, "a"c, '....thatandlike20moretill.... "e"c, """"c}
string1 = string1.TrimStart(mychar)
(Note that each letter or symbol inbetween the quotations is a part of the string (span = "s" "p"...)Now this works. Not all the time though and its a pain in the .. having to do "letter"c, all the time.. (I got over 10 strings lol) Im wondering if theres a way easier method to remove part of string from the beginning, maybe like still a certen part of the length..
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.

I have 20 checkboxes (I don't use checkboxlist because if user click on checkbox then new window appear) in one form. I want to do that when user select few of those checkboxes they will appear in new textbox or label in new form. But I have a problem, when user uncheck checkbox the data is not removed from textbox or label. How can I do, that only text of that unchecked checkbox is removed from textbox or label.I tried with for each look up but i don't know how to do that either, so I am doing that with IFs for every checkbox.

I have been using the following code to remove text from strings so far;

I have strMyString that contains about 5000 lines of data. There are some lines of data that need removing if they contain a certain string, such as "http", "www.", ".com", "cat", "fish", etc. The whole line needs removing. Each line is separated by a vbNewLine or similar.
How can I do that? Does it need pasting into a rich textbox first before processing?
I am Tring to Make this work but I do not understand the Colunms as objects Part. Here is what I got
[Code]...
I need to remove an instance in a class for which I also created a dictionary with a string key type. Like this...:
vb
'Declare dictionary
Public PersonsList As New Dictionary(Of String, Person)
'At the bottom of frmMain.vb
[code]....
As you see, I end having 120 instances of the class Person, each assigned with a string key consisting in "student1" to "student120".
At other parts of the program I repeatedly refer to PersonsList("student" & n) to set values at those class entries, mainly with a For n ... Next block.
Now... I need a routine to remove one of those instances for good, including its entry at the dictionary, so my first bet is this...:
vb
Public Sub ExpellStudent(ByVal student_index As Integer)
PersonsList.Remove("student" & selected_student_index)
students_count -= 1
End Sub
I assume this is good enough to remove the KVP at the dictionary AND the class instance proper... right?Well, even if that is ok, I foresee one problem... Let's say I removed "student46". Next time I run a For n = 1 to students_count I would bet that I'll receive an exception due to having a gap at "student46" KVP... and that without saying that students_count will be 119, so it will never reach "student120".In short, I need a way to reassign the KVP of the now 119 Person entries, so they're consecutive again (I don't care about them changing their string key values), so I still could use my For n = 1 to students_count ... Next blocks without problems... but I cannot figure out how.

I have a string that has three spaces in it.
In the following examples, underscores represent the spaces:
Quote:
_x-xx-xxxx_x.xx.xx_xx
I need to remove just the first space. Now, i tried just replacing the space with nothing, like so:
VB.NET
If s.Contains(" ") Thens = s.Replace(" ", "")End If
But, that removes every space. I also tried .StartsWith, but it still removed every space. I didn't actually expect that to work, but if I hadn't tried it, I wouldn't have actually know.
how to remove just that first space?
