VS 2010 Replace First Occurrence Of An Entire Word?
Jul 19, 2011
A little background... I'm trying to build a spell checking form. I have this lovely library: [URL] and it seems to be working flawlessly.
The problem I have is trying to replace an entire word and only the first occurence of the word.
Example: Replace the first instance of "foo" with "bar" in the following string
"foo foo foobar" and get this "bar foo foobar"
I've been trying regular expressions with no luck. Here are the patterns I've tried compiling(these are obviously tied to variables in my program):
"(?<!foo)foo"
"(foo){1}"
I also tried the built in string.replace method with a count parameter, but I have no idea how I would make that match the entire word.

I need to find the first occurrence of a certain word's position in a textbox, on how to do this? Once I find out how I can get the position of the word i am searching for I can then pull the data I need from the textbox. I am using visual studio 2010 / visual basic.Since I have no clue where to start on this code, I will post what code i will be using to get rid of the data i don't need from the textbox.
Dim s As String = TextBox1.Text TextBox1.Text = (TextBox1.Text.Remove(450))i figure I can do this in a few steps to bring the searched info out of the textbox. I am open to other ideas on how to gather my data from the file or textbox. Here is what I have to do: Pull all of the players names from a replay file and put them in separate text boxes or even a listbox.

My app is a Reader for personal use. I have it setup By Books of the Bible and by Chapters and verses.
What I would like to be able to do, is to search for Pharaoh (any word) in a textbox, click the Search Button, and every occurrence of Pharaoh (not just the word, but the entire Verse: EX: Gen Ch7:14 Blah Blah Blah Pharaoh Blah Blah. Gen Ch9 :3 Blah Pharaoh Blah); to display inside a RTF or TextBox.

How would you replace a certain word from input to output? Like, if you type "Tigers are cool" in a text box I want the ouput after a button click to be "Lions are cool", changing 'tiger' to 'lion'. It should also be case sensitive so Tiger would convert to Lion, not lion.

I have my program set up to download a web page with a webclient. Normally, I could just use .Substring, but there are about 25 things I need to pluck out of this page, and .Substring, or at least the way I have it set up, takes the first occurrence. The good news is, they are all URLs; they are all similar too.
Each URL is as follows: [URL]
Now, of course, this URL is just made up, but each URL starts with [URL] and ends with 'video'.
How can I hook this up so that it scans the entire page (contained in a string, read from a StreamReader connected to a WebClient), finds each URL, and then adds it to a listview?

make a program to replace the word followed by the selected. But I got stuck at the start..An Example:"My name is Dunley Mike and my father, Dunley Robin are on a holiday at the mountain. There they will meet the uncle Dunley Harry." So what I want to do is to loop through the text for the word Dunley (Underlined) and replace the First name (Bolded) (Mike, Robin, & Harry) to 'family'.

i need to replace the whole word from a string.
for example. String= "Hi VBFriends, I am learning VB 2010."
i need to replace only VB as C#.
if i put String.Replace, its changing as "Hi C#Friends,I am learning C# 2010."
i used regex, Word boundary but not worked, below my code.
Dim sHTMLStream As String = "Hi VBFriends, I am learning VB 2010."
Dim oColl As MatchCollection = Regex.Matches("sHTMLStream", "\bvb", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)
For Each sTemp As Match In oColl
MessageBox.Show(sTemp.Value)

Let's say I have an object that contains a Word property and a Sentence property. The sentence must use the word, and I want to replace the word in that sentence with a link using a public function (say, GetLinkedSentence). The catch is maybe the sentence uses a plural form of the word and maybe the "word" itself is actually a phrase, or is even hyphenated. There's no length limit to the word either. How do I find and replace this word (in ASP.NET, preferably VB) with a link [word])?

I'm trying to replace a string with another but the problem is that the string is matching some other string partially.
For e.g. -
Dim x as String = "I am Soham"
x = x.Replace("am","xx")
After this replace I would only like the word am to replaced with xx but because my name also contains am its also getting replaced.

I am puzzled as to why this following code does not replace the word in each arraylist as a reference.
Dim AllMyWords As New ArrayList
AllMyWords.Add("hello")
AllMyWords.Add("how")[code]....
I would have assumed the FOR EACH bla IN BLA works like a reference but it seems like it does not.

When running the code I get a AccessViolationException on the codeline where the Range.Find is called... I use VSTD2008 and Office 2007 on Windows 7. I have also tried running the code on a machine with Office 2003 which was successful. So if anybody could tell me what I have to do differently that I get this working with office 2007 I'd be very glad!

I know this is a very noob question but would it be possible to find a word in my coding and replace it with three lines?
[Code]...
So far I can only replace it with "ex1.Message) Finally Application.exit" but it's going to take me forever to go through my coding to change it. I'm not sure what character I could use to start a new line in between "ex1.Message)" and "Finally" and "Application.exit"

IS there a better way to do the following, I mean is there any way to replace the Word variable with a backspace directly instead of trimming the space after the word has been repalced?

If user_input3.Contains(Word) Then
user_input3 = Regex.Replace(user_input3, Word, "")

How can I replace character/word in text (loaded to richboxtext) but only for those which are not on the "block" list ?
Dim str As String = RichTextBox2.Text
RichTextBox3.Text = str.Replace("1"c, "A"c)
But I want add list of words which should be excluded. I thought that I can do something like :
Dim str As String = RichTextBox2.Text
If Regex.IsMatch(RichTextBox2.Text, "shows") Then
Else
RichTextBox3.Text = str.Replace("%"c, " "c)
End If
RichTextBox3.Text = str.Replace("1"c, "A"c)
Dim str2 As String = RichTextBox3.Text
RichTextBox3.Text = str2.Replace("2"c, "B"c)
But it's not working as it will just skip replace of % for whole text and I want just just exclude particular word from list from being replaced...

We have an interactive windows based application written in VB .Net 2010. It uses Word Object to display documents in MS Word. We have a form with a button. When the button is clicked we open the Word document and maximize the Word Windowstate. When we have the Visual Studio Tool running, the Word Document is maximized and has focus, even if we are running the exe from the bin folder outside of the tool. However, if Visual Studio is not running and we run the exe, focus remains on the original form window and the document stays in the task bar.
