I'm creating a method to replace variables in strings, I'm going to share an example of how I'm replacing values and can see short falls in how what I'm doing. Here's a stripped down example of what I'm doing. It replaces a variable with the date specified, so %today(-1) would give me yesterday, %today(2) would give me two days from now.

I got this problem, is there way to use "replace" function to replace multiple strings of same list?

I need to find several hrefs in html like this:
<table>
<tr><td><a href="url1">link1</a></td>
<td><a href="url2"><img src="image.jpg" /></a></td>
</tr>
</table>
Once found I need to add (replace) to each href something like this:
?ID=1
therefore the html should turn out like this:
<table>
<tr><td><a href="url1?ID=1">link1</a></td>
<td><a href="url2?ID=1"><img src="image.jpg" /></a></td>
</tr>
</table>
So I have software to replace string with string, it's cool but I need code which would replace any given character (for example a) with all strings from textbox.

The code below replaces if it finds a given string from the list of contractions with its equivelant from the list of word-contractions. E.g., if it finds 'll it will replace it with Will. The code words but whtn it comes to let's it will replace it with let is.
'remove panctuation and contractions first
Dim contractions As List(Of String) = New List(Of String)(New String() _
{"'ll", "'re", "'ve", "'m", "'d", "'s", "n't", "won't", "lets", "let's", "ikon of elkomenos", "ikon of crucifixion", "ikon of crist elkomenos", "Part A", "Part B", "renaissance style", "hagios nikolaos", "full wall fortification"})

I'm populating a datagridview from a database where all the data has had apostrophes and quotation marks stripped out and replaced with ASCII values; now I want to replace them back. Since the user can perform a variety of queries that are all displayed in the same table, any column might contain text fields.

im also thinking on using stringbuilder to replace my strings.
First it might sound like an ordinary task but keep reading it isn't. I can't figure out how to find a phrase in a text file, and replace it with something else. Tried lots of things but always ending up with empty hands.
Suppose there's a text file in this order:
valueabc=6000.0000
valuettt=200.0000
valuexyz=7000.0000
I want to;
1) Find the phrase (e.g. valueabc) by scanning the whole text,
2) Replace the number that starts after "=" and ends before ".", namely "6000" in the middle with any number value i want.
I don't need the parts before "=" and after ".", only the number in the middle.
I am having an issue using a datagrid. I can use it fine on my development machine in VB 2005. But, when I deploy it to a client and they try to access the datagrid this message comes up:To run this example, replace the value of the connectionString variable with a connection string that is valid for your system.
Both machines are running Windows XP Pro (SP3). Is there some type of assembly for datagrids that I am missing in my application or some prerequisite that I need to install as part of the solution.
Okay this one might be a little tougher. I'm using VB that looks like this:
string = Replace(string.ToLower, chr(63), "A")
But I also want chr(63) = "B" as well, like this:
string = Replace(string.ToLower, chr(63), "B")
My problem is that when chr(63) is at the end of a string I need it to be B, and when it's not the end I need it to be A. I suppose that I can use an if/then/else statement. Is there a way to do this?

I have been working on a homework assignment and I am having problems with it. Okay here is my final code. I declare a variable that is not used yet. I am wondering if I need to use the index to somehow fix this issue with the consonants. Maybe I need to nest another if, then or do some kind of comparison to figure out if the word begins with a consonant then tell it to move the consonants to the end
'you know something like this below, but this is not my final code yet:
determine if origninalWord begins with a consonant
determine how many consonants there are before you reach the first vowel
If originalWord begins with 1 consonant

But I do not know the proper way to code the begining in red color text the last two sections work for vowels and numbers. Here is my new code.

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?

Using VB or C#, I am getting a string of variable length from the database. This information is sensitive information that only certain users will be able to see.I have two cases that will use the same logic (I think).scenario 1: replace all characters with xscenario 2: replace all characters with x except the last 4 characters (assume length > 4 - this check is being done).I thought that this would be easiest using Regex.Replace(input, pattern, replacestring). As opposed to a lot of string handling with substrings and forcing a length of 'x's.

I am having an issue where I am using regex.Replace to replace part of a string. The basic idea is that I want to capture the beginning of the string then replace the end of the string with a value from code. For an example pretend I have a string that says "Test Number " followed by number and I want to increment that number. I capture the "Test Number " but when I try to concatenate that capture with the new number it treats the capture ($1) as a literal and replaces the entire string with $1[new number].
[code]...
This will output "We are on Test Number 2", as expected. how I can use a variable in the replacement string portion of the Regex.Replace when including a captured group?
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.

I am trying to think of a regex replace to replace double quotes with nothing. Example:
hello("hi there") would become hello(hi there)
"hi" would become hi
"example "3" would become example "3

I am trying to filter out all unwanted characters from a string. All I want in the string is letters A-Z, numbers 0-9 as well as comma (,) plus (+) and quotes (").I figured how to do the letters and numbers, but the 3 special characters are giving me a problem. I also tried with the Chr(34) equivelant for the " sign, but no luck, as and " or , messes up the way the code is read. Here�s what I have so far, but it only works for A-Z and 0-9:
STR = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(STR, "[^A-Z, 0-9, Chr(43) ]", "")
How can I specify in my string that I want to replace occurrences of ALL characters and replace them with a specified character? Something like this:
'assuming currentWord is a string that contains any word
_myWord = CurrentWord.Replace("a-z,A-Z", "*")
I am using replace function to replace a character in the file

I have a list of strings. For each string in that list, I want to prepend another string. I wrote a method to do it, but I was wondering if there was something already in .NET I could use to do this. It seems like something that could be built in, but I was not able to find anything.
Here is the method I wrote:
Private Function PrependToAllInList(ByRef inputList As List(Of String), ByRef prependString As String) As List(Of String)
Dim returnList As List(Of String) = New List(Of String)
For Each inputString As String In inputList
returnList.Add(String.Format("{0}{1}", prependString, inputString))
[code].....
It works, but I would rather use built in functions whenever possible.
I'm migrating from VB6 to VB.NET, in hence my questions below:
I have to write a function that returns array of strings.
How can I initiate it to empty array? I need it since I have to check if it's empty array after it returns from this function.
Is list of arrays better for this purpose? If I use a list - Is it empty when it firstly defined? How can I check it it's empty?
