I have large lists of account numbers in an array to validate. They have distinct patterns of characters so ve decided RegEx is the best method. As it is I loop through every element and match. Is there a better way? I saw they Array.TrueForAll Generic Method but after messing with it a bit it seemed that I would have to write a separate function negating the benefit.
View 7 RepliesI need a regular expression that can validate that a string is an alphanumeric comma delimited string.
Examples:
123, 4A67, GGG, 767 would be valid.
12333, 78787&*, GH778 would be invalid
fghkjhfdg8797< would be invalid
This is what I have so far, but isn't quite right: ^(?=.*[a-zA-Z0-9][,]).*$
I'm working on a program to delete files from a certain folder after they have aged a certain amount of time and either match via regex or extension. I'm running into an issue where files() could be:
files(0) = Nothing
files(1) = Nothing
files(2) = Nothing
etc....
Right now the way it is written, I could place
Else
log(1) = data(1)
log(3) = "Array field empty"
InsertLog(log)
And the program would log as many files as file(i) = Nothing holds. This would create redundant database records and is not wanted. Is there a way to figure out if ALL files(i) = Nothing and then place code in there to insert into the database?
'If log(3) is successful that means no files were old enough or deleted successfully
If log(3) = "Success" And IsArray(files) Then
For Each file In files
If Not file.IsNullOrEmpty(file) Then
'If files is actually something insert into the log
log(1) = file

View 2 RepliesI have a form that a user inputs either A B C or D into a text box. I need to validate that one of those four letters has been entered in the text box. I am using a case statement but I think an array might work better but I can't figure out how to validate a string in an array. Or if there is a better way to use the case statement...Here is my code snippet This works, but it seems like it is the long way to do it. Also as soon as I click OK on the message box it immediatly goes and shows my next form. How do I get it validate, let the user redo, and then bring up the other form?

I want to validate xml against XSD (VB.NET). My function look like this:
Private Function ValidateXML(ByVal xml As MemoryStream, ByVal xsd As String) As ArrayList End Function
How can I do the validation when my xml is a memorystream/stream (I use stream because I don't need to store the xml) and my xsd is a string (I get my xsd from a web servise as a string, and I do not need to store it in a file)?
I'm developing a VB Web Application in .NET3.5 using Visual Studio 2008. I'm having difficulty in validating some XML as a string before I add it to a HTML form to post to a 3rd party. I have an XML schema file from the 3rd party to validate against and at this point I'd like the application to perform the validation before each post.
After searching I've found references to a XmlValidatingReader but this is obsolete and I'm having difficulty finding another way to do it. Also all the good examples are in C# - for now I'm stuck with VB. This is what I have so far which I'm looking for with! Public Function ValidateXML(ByVal strXML As String) As Boolean

I would like to check the format of a string value (contained in a variable) before using it in further code.
- It must be 8 characters in length (no more, no less)
- It must be in the following format: 2 digits + 1 letter + 5 digits
I imagine the VB.NET code would be something along the lines of:If CStr(strMediaNum) (...not in the form [2 digits + 1 letter + 5 digits]...) Or (...datalength not equal to eight characters...) Then Exit Sub EndIf

View 4 RepliesI am using this regex string in one of my programs to validate email adresses: "^[a-z0-9._%+-]+@[a-z0-9.-]+.[a-z]{2,4}$". This works well for the most part, but I just found out that it doesn't catch an address like this ... "john.doe.@yahoo.com" ... where there's a "." right before the "@", which is invalid, so my program tries to send it & throws an exception. How to modify my regex string to catch this situation?
View 4 Repliesis there any function to validate if a string has only numerical characters? I can cross character for character and verify if it is a number. But I look for something simpler or if already a function like that exists.
I cannot use IsNumeric or IsDigit because it returns numbers to True with point or comma.
I need only numeric characters (no comma nor points

Good Evening! I am attempting to write a code so that someone can enter characters into a text box and then press a button which will validate the string and then count the number of uppercase letters in the displayed text. I also have a button that will allow lowercase tabulation. However I cannot get either to work or display in the associated text boxes.

I am trying to create a code where I placed sets of numbers in an array.I'll use a masktextbox to have the user enter the numbers to match what's in the array. If the user enters the number, ex: social, and the data is correct (matches the numbers in the array), something happens if the number entered in the masktextbox does not match any of the number sets in an array then another thing happens.The masktextbox so far only validates format and gets number only, however, I want the number entered to match whats in the array.

View 2 RepliesI wish I had never let go of my old pearl days, but those days are behind us Now, for the life of me, I can't remember how to write the regex I need I keep getting "TOO MUCH" validation!
the expression i have so far is: "(.*?).(jpg|jpeg|gif|doc|pdf)$"
but i know tis a little off for what I need What i need is to validate that a string passing through always = "*.extension"For instance, somehow, some strange way, user passes string as "bob.pdf"I want to convert the "bob.pdf" to "*.pdf"Or, say they just pass "jpg", then it needs to become "*.jpg"
Of course there is a billion other ways to do this, but none I can think of that would be less proc intensive than using regex I just can't remember the danged line I NEED!the ultimate goal in end of course is to set up:

I have an array defined As string and the value stored in site is like "7E", "A1" and so on. But in order to send out this array through serial port. I need to change the the array to As Byte instead of using As String. How can I convert it?
View 8 RepliesI've been working with a sig capture application sample on a windows mobile device, The data is sent via IP to a host as a byte array and is then drawn onto the screen of the host as it appeared on the client. I was able to get this into the form of a bitmap object so I could print it or save to a jpg file. That all works well. The problem now is that I need to store this data in a database and then be able to recall it at a later time and recreate the signature image.
The byte array data is much smaller than the actual image so I would like to store it in that form. My issue is that when I convert this byte array into a string and back again my program can no longer re-create the image. Once I saw the problem I created the code below as a test and added the msgboxes to get an idea what was happened to my data.
