VS 2010 Doesn't Trim Get Rid Of Null Bytes In String?
Jun 17, 2010
I'm receiving a byte array from a network device by using the TcpClient class and as I have no idea how much data will be being sent I have to just declare a buffer that is X number of bytes long and keep reading into that until I've got all of the data. I then convert this byte array to a string using Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString but the problem is that this gets any null bytes that were at the end of the buffer after the string and it includes them in the string. This then means when I do String.EndsWith it doesnt work as I would expect it to because there are just loads of 0 bytes at the end of the string.
Once I had realised that was what was happening (which took a long time as these null bytes are completely invisible when you are looking at the data in String form) I thought fine I'll just use Trim on the string but I've found that this doesnt make any difference at all. I thought Trim was supposed to remove any blank space from the start/end of a string, which I assumed would include empty bytes as well.
So is there any alternative I can use that will trim the empty bytes off the end or do I have to do it the 'manual' way and loop through my byte array before converting it to string and remove any null bytes? One thing that has just popped into my head as I'm typing this is to try using the Chr method and pass it 0 and combine that with Trim like so:

I'm using Visual Basic .NET to work with a USB HID device.Most of the time, I can receive data from it perfectly... but one out of every thousand transfers or so, my code will think it has received data when it actually hasn't.The device writes to an array of bytes. I wanted to check to see if the received packet is empty, by doing something like this:
If myDevice.dataPacket(1) <> Nothing then
myDevice.rxDataReady = False

I have a function that returns a byte(), the only problem is that the array most times is to long and has 4 or 5 excess null bytes. I want to remove them and tried everything, but I cant seem to find anything that works.

how to write a null bytes onto unused hard disk spaces? I understand that files deleted are still existed on hard disk, I am thinking of may be if I write the null bytes to every single unused bytes so that the unused hard disk space would be become all null bytes, and unused space would no longer contain of those deleted files.

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:

I'm working with this new API that returns some XML. The problem is that the developer has chosen to indent his returned XML and it's driving me nuts. So, I thought I'd just trim it and then use it that way. But it's not working. here is what I'm getting back from the API:
<response>
<result>success</result>
<session_guid>33434343556</session_guid>
</response>
The code, of course, comes back in a StreamReader object called reader. So my plan is to write the UNTABBED XML to a text file. I thought this would work:
dim output as String = reader.ReadToEnd()
dim xml as String
'open the file in a try/catch statment. Won't include that here
....
....
'Now, we're going to remove whitespace using String.Trim() and write it to a file:
xml = output.Trim()
Then I close the file and move on. The problem is that the String.Trim command isn't working! When I open the file, the indentations ARE STILL THERE and it's throwing everything off.

I have this string that shall come in from another file. The string has maximum length of 102 digits. I need to compare the string with numbers in a pair and delete those from that string.
e.g - 6125223659587412563265... till 102
numbers that compare with this string-
first set - 61
new string = 25223659587412563265
second set - 36
new string = 252259587412563265
and so on. the set of numbers shall go to maximum of 51 pairs = 102, which shall give an end result of string = "" How can i achieve this in a loop?
this is not answer, this is editing the question. i dont know why but the edit button just vaniashed so i have to edit question here. No duplicates will ever be in this string. and in the end when compares are done, i want to see what numbers are left in pairs.

I'm working in Microsoft Access attempting to concatanate the results of a query into a single string. The code looks like this:rtn = Trim(rs.Fields(0).Value) Trim$(rs.Fields(1).Value)When I display the string in a list box, I only see the value for Fields(0) I cannot see the value for Fields(1).When I run the code in debug mode, I can see the value of rtn and it contains these non-alphanumeric boxes like this:"Earth4[] Admin[]" (where [] indicates the non-alphanumeric character)What can I do to cleanup the string, remove the [] and then display in my list box?

When the user clicks any item in the listbox ie lviproducts it passes that item to a textbox. The problem is that I want everything before the $ sign not to appear so only the amount ie 4.50 etc would appear in the textbox. So far I have no idea how to do this, but have the following code which is not working at all.

I have a DGV and a button to open a browser window to an ip address and also a button to open the ip address gateway. I can open the ip address that is displayed in the DGV no problem. What I am stuck on is opening the gateway address. So for example I click a record in DGV then the button and my browser opens to 10.15.2.248 What I need to do is replace 248 with 1 The ips will all end differently though for example 10.20.2.34 , 10.256.34.4 and so on. So as far as I know I will have to trim to the last period and add a 1 How can I do this?

If you assign a string that is longer than the current value of the MaxLenght property, VB6 automatically trims the value to MaxLength characters, whereas VB.NET doesn't. Is there any way to achieve the same in VB.Net.

I know how to cut off characters at the end of a string using vb script, which uses the LEFT(string, #) syntax, however, how do i do this using vb.net?
and my second question, I have a string being sent into a drop down menu that gets the data pulled from an access database using a data source control. How do I format it so say, it only shows the first 100 characters of that string in the dropdown?

I have a web application where the user uses an HTML editor to input some formatted text to show on the website. This text is stored, as HTML, in a database. It turns out now, after some time, that users are sometimes entering whitespace (newlines, spaces, etc) before and/or after the text they are entering, and this whitespace shows up in the rendered text on the page. Multiple sets of this text are displayed top to bottom, and due to this whitespace the separation between bits of text varies, which doesn't look very pretty. So, I've been asked to get rid of the whitespace automatically.
Seemed like an easy task at first, I'd just call Trim on the string. But that won't work, the 'whitespace' when rendered isn't actually whitespace at all, it's a bunch of <br /> or <br> or <br></br> tags, or spaces such as, even empty paragraphs <p></p> sometimes. So calling Trim won't help, I need to get rid of all the tags that would render as whitespace.
The HTML editor control I'm using may or may not have built in support for this, but it doesn't matter, the database is already full with texts that contain these newline tags, so the best option I can see is to simply trim this whitespace before displaying it on the page. [Code]

It's become a night mare. All day today I have been trying to tell the hex contents of the bytes in a string. In this case Im attentpting to detect a VBCRLF. In the debugger this in displayed as a " " and thats it no matter how I have to setting set.It makes it difficult doesn't it? The thing is that debuggers are quite capable of displaying adresses, of course this is only relevant to systems that do not change virtual addresses (which Windows does not)only physical addresses.Why is it impossible to see the values of a vbcrlf (0D0A) in a string? This sytem is becoming impossible to use.

I'm trying to send a 28 character string to a remote ip address and port. I've done this successfully in vb.net using the following code snippets:
Dim swon As String = "A55A6B0550000000FFFBDE0030C8"
Dim sendBytes As [Byte]()
sendBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(swon)
netStream.Write(sendBytes, 0, sendBytes.Length)
I now have to convert this across to c++ and have the following so far:
char *swon = "A55A6B0550000000FFFBDE0030C8";
array<Byte>^ sendBuffer = gcnew array<Byte>(bufferSize);
sendBuffer = BitConverter::GetBytes( swon );
tcpStream->Write(sendBuffer, 0, sendBuffer->Length);
but am getting stuck at this point. I'm sure I'm missing a simple syntax error but I can't figure it out!To clarify, I'm not getting an error, but I don't think the string is being converted to bytes correctly as when I convert back, I just get a '01'

Im making a database converter (phpbb to ipb)I noticed during analysing both databases that the posts of phpbb are converted to bytes as you can c here
-- Table structure for phpbb_posts
-- ----------------------------
CREATE TABLE `phpbb_posts` ([code]....
I want to convert those to regular text again but I have no clue how to script my converter to lookup the bytes place (after 0x) converts the string (as the bytes arent in array) and where to stop converting the bytes (after the ,)then replace the bytes text by the regular text and this needs to be in a loop because all posts need to be converted to normal text.
