VS 2010 Macro - Replace The Spaces In A String
Sep 4, 2009
I'm writing a macro to let me replace the spaces in a string in my code file with underscores. I've gotten as far as finding the beginning and end of the string as instances of VirtualPoint. Now I'm trying to select from the first VirtualPoint to the second. And I can't figure it out. I know the VirtualPoints are correct, because I'm using MessageBox.Show to tell me their values when I run the macro. I just don't know the correct command to set the TextSelection from the first to the second. I've tried this: [Code]

I have a string that I need to place to a file, but when I do place it to file, it gets cut off at the space, and the words after the space are placed to a new line. So I decided to place an underbar in place of all spaces, to avoid that problem. So how can I search the string for spaces and replace each with an underbar?

I have a notepad I'm creating, but i've tried everything I could think of to replace a tab indent with spaces on keys.tab event.When I press the Tab key I want it to replace the tab indent with 4 individual spaces. Like as if I was to press the space bar 4 times, only that would be done automatically upon pressing the tab key on my keyboard.
I'm using a richtextbox control. I have a tab settings form, where I will be able to give users an option to choose how many spaces the tab key will represent. I just need to figure out how to replace the {TAB}.
so far, I have the number of spaces correct, but the last space in the series after pressing my tab key seems a bit larger than the rest of the spaces, and is not a real (normal) space character. That puts everything out of line when i'm typing on a new line. the characters don't line up vertically and when I press the space key however many times i've set the {Tab} key to represent, the tab key even though it should have the same number of spaces occupies a larger distance horizontally if that makes sense.

My program uses parameters from the calling program in this format
parameter1/parameter2/parameter3
parameter2 is a datafile path which may sometimes have a space like :
C:Program Files est company
I did this as a work around
Sub Main(ByVal Args() As String)
dim cArgs as string=""
Dim J As Integer
For J = 0 To Args.Length - 1
cArgs = cArgs & " " & Args(J)
Next
And then used the string split function. Is there a proper way to work with spaces?

I'm presented with a puzzle. Where I work there are a huge amount of Word templates which all contains an autonew eventhandle which contains some errors. And this error lies within all templates. And I was wondering if there might be a way of scanning a directory for templates which contains this macro and change the macro code slightly?

I have webbrowser1 that contains about 1,000 or so lines of text. I want to:
a) Check a string for various other strings and remove any row that contains that string. e.g. if it finds "http" or "www" or "dog" or "cat" (etc) in a row, remove that row.
b) Copy that cleaned data to my multiline textbox, ensuring the rows are preserved and its not just one continuous row.

I have a treeview with a few files. The node.tag contains the path. Now, when I change the e.label I also need to change the tag of the node.
Let's say the current tag of node "test.txt" is "C:Folder1 est.txt " and I change it to "blabla.txt", the tag needs to be changed to "C:Folder1labla.txt"

The file reads in parameters and two of the parameters used to be in Date Format YYYYMMDD but will now permanently be in format YYYY-MM-DD. This change, I believe, is stopping the import of the file from working. I would like to replace the new format YYYY-MM-DD back to YYYYMMDD in the code. If possible I'd also like to see some output so I know that the old format has been replaced with the new format. The code is below. I added the two rows with .replace code in green in expecting that to be enough but it is still not working.

Dim R1, O1, P1, C1, strDateFrom, strDateTo, strRunDate

i have string like
Dim Test as String = "abc " & " def"
what above code does is gives is "abc def" as output, what i want is "abc--------def" (where hash sign is spaces i need) i have tried
Dim Test as String = "abc----" & "----def"
for some reason (dot)net only takes it as one single space. check above(1) example ,i gave two spaces but it got converted to one space.
Dim Test as String = "abc" & Char(9) & "def"
doesn't work (found char(9) solution on internet)
Dim Test as String = "abc" & space(8) & "def"
doesn't work I have tried another 10 different option but none seems to be working for me.

I want to be able to find both spaces using the indexof method. Here's my code so far. Basically the program will turn the string "Will Smith" to "Smith, Will" But I noticed when I type in a name with a middle initial or middle name "Will J Smith" I would get "J Smith, Will" And I want to be able to find that second space when its there and apply a code that would produce "Smith, Will J" When there is a second space. How would I go about doing so?

Is there a way to take an integer, say 10, and convert that to 10 spaces? What I've got is a text field that the users enters a number. I then need to convert that number into spaces and insert those spaces into a string of text. I've found several places to convert text to an integer but not the other way around.

lets say I had a string variable that contained "Hello World!", (or whatever the string contained) how would i remove the the right most spaces to make it say "Hello World" (im reading in items from a text file using substrings that has fixed positions with one line of the text containing several different items) or does it automatically eliminate the right most spaces???

I used a regular expression, which handles both numbers and letters in strings of arbitrary length, in one line of code.
dim rtn as String = Regex.Replace(input, "..", "$& ")
I'd like to take numeric strings of arbitrary length and insert a space every 2 characters.
So 1233456 becomes 12 33 45 6. Is there a way I can use format as string or IFormatProvider, like? That would put a limit on how long the string could be though, right? Since I'm casting to a long.
CLng((input)).ToString("## ")
I'd like to take strings of arbitrary length and insert a space every 2 characters.
123dssas4rr should become 12 3d ss as 4r r

I'm have a program (GUI) that interfaces with excel to execute macros. We're using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel to call/run the macros and this works great.What I can't figure out is a good way to cancel the macros from the GUI.One idea we had was to use the excel.application variable that runs the macros to write a "stop" value to a specific cell in the workbook, and in the macros (they are all mostly loops), check for the "stop" value in that cell. This crashes my GUI with this The program '[2188] BVLReports.vshost.exe: Managed' has exited with code -336589910 (0xebf00baa).And excel gets tied up, and won't respond. I know how to Exit Sub from within the macro if the "stop" value exists, so I don't need answers on how to check/cancel from inside the macro. Any ideas on a better way to write this "stop" value or a better way to cancel the macros externally?

format a decimal value to a string with a single digit after the comma/dot and leading spaces for values less than 100?For example, a decimal value of 12.3456 should be output as " 12.3" with single leading space. 10.011 would be " 10.0". 123.123 is "123.1" I'm looking for a solution, that works with standard/custom string formatting, i.e.
decimal value = 12.345456;
Console.Write("{0:magic}", value); // 'magic' would be a fancy pattern.

Environment.GetCommandLineArgs() splits string with spaces in it sometimes but not others, want to avoid this.

P.S. This was a VB6 command line app that I just converted to VB.net & the behaviour only occurs in the VB.net version. It's being called in many places at the moment, so don't really want to have to manually go through all calls & add double quotes around the whole argument.

I saw a built in function in VBscript a while back that converted a string with spaces to an array. However I can't remember the name and I looked it up in a few function listings and couldn't find it. Since almost all the functions that are in VBcript are in VB.NET I was wondering if anyone remembered the name of the function.

i am trying to split a string up into separate lines with the following code, but for some reason it is also removing the spaces in the string.
Dim calculationText As String
calculationText = File.ReadAllText(fileName)
Dim fields() As String
fields = calculationText.Split(vbCrLf)
when i am in debugger mode, i look at fields, and every element has a line of the string but all the spaces and tabs are removed.

I'm implementing a feature which reads comma separated txt file from server(one line at a time). Format of file is fixed, There are 3 columns on each row. After reading the row from file I insert it in a database table. But first value of each row aoutomatically appends two blank spaces, even if there are no blank spaces at the begining of each row. I tried to use "TRIM/LTRIM/Replace" to remove blank spece from the first value of each row, but didn't succeed.

I just changed a control on a form from a masked textbox to a normal textbox because I wrote my own code to validate the data. I'm trying to clear the leading spaces that were created for this column in an Access database using the LTrim function and it doesn't work for some reason. The column is " :30" in the table and when I LTrim it and save the changes, it's still " :30" , not ":30". Is that leading entry not a space character?

I have a string which I have pulled out of a text file as shown below,[code]and I would like to split it up and get the numbers into individual string() arrays. I have tried using split , but the problem with this is that it only splits up characters with one space between them, and there could be multiple spaces between characters so it ends up storing blank spaces it a string array.[code]
