I have a string that looks like this:
var expression = @"Args("token1") + Args("token2")";
I want to retrieve a collection of strings that are enclosed in Args("") in the expression.
How would I do this in C# or VB.NET?

What I'm trying to do is extract values, colors, comments, and any formulas for a range of cells in a given worksheet. The ultimate goal is convert a spreadsheet someone has been using as a database into Access tables.
worksheet.Cells(row,column).Value 'extract value WORKS
worksheet.Cells(row,column).Font.ColorIndex 'extract color index WORKS
worksheet.Cells(row,column).Comment.Text 'extract comment WORKS
worksheet.Cells(row,column).Formula 'extract formula DOES NOT WORK
The return value for .Formula is same as .Value. That's not what I need. I'm looking for a textual representation of the formula (to extract rate information embedded within the formula).
I was just wondering how to extract or parse any particual tags (whichever I specify) from webpages. I know how to extract text and links from webpages, but I tried to use the same method from the following code for div tags, title tags etcetera and it doesn't seem to work:

Say I have a List(Of Tag) with Tag being an object. One member of Tag, Tag.Description, is a string, and I want to make a comma-separated concatenation of the Description members.Is there an easier way to do this than to read the Description members into a List(Of String) and then use the Join function?

I am working on a UDP Client/Server, and currently i have them sending back and forth strings, which i convert to bytes, and then open the bytes to read. I want to now send an Object instead of those strings, which includes multiple unsigned integers and strings.
View 39 RepliesI 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))

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?
I have been looking for examples to find the string between two strings. This top one works fine;

Now the first one is fine - Ext_Volume is result of the string between the strings <Volume> and </Volume>. <Volume> and </Volume> are unique so this is straight forward.
However the second one - "^FDExp:" is unique, but "^FS" is not unique. There are occurances of "^FS" before and after "^FDExp:".
How do I get the string to search AFTER the occurrence, not before etc?

Is there an easy way to find a certain string within a string and then return the strings that you find as an array?I have written this:

View 2 RepliesI have a DataGridView that has some columns with dates. It binds to an in-memory Datatable which gets loaded from an string array of data passed back from the backend Some of the rows returned have nulls for the date columns. Solution 1: If I define the Date column in the DataTable as "string" I can easily convert those nulls to empty strings and display it in the grid as empty strings (desired results). However, if the user clicks on the date column header to sort by date, it doesn't order the rows as you want. You get a purely string sort order. Not acceptable

I've been having problems extracting the value of a Regex in a String. I have a string with several regex expressions and I need to get the value of each expression's match. The thing is though, it's not returning the last match correctly. For example:
Regex Pattern: I play (S+.*?) and (S+.*?)
String: I play the guitar and the bass The program is returning the value of the first expression as "the guitar" but it's returning the value of the second expression as "the" instead of "the bass".
Does anyone know of a way that you can get the string that is held at this reference point (its the contents of a registry value that corresponds to a string - see this thread for more info [URL]

I am trying to test bit 7 (87654321) in the byte DB2 to check if its true. The below code does not seem to be working:
If DB2 And &H40 = &H40 Then Label1.Visible = True
If DB2 And &H40 = &H0 Then Label1.Visible = False
TextBox6.Text = Hex(DB2 and &h40)
I do see the value of DB2 changing from &h00 to &h40 in the textbox, but when evaluating in the two if statements, it never evaluates to true (for testing, the only possible values for DB2 right now are &h00 and &h40)
I have two collections that I am comparing to a thrid collection. Both collections have 147 values in them. I am wondering how I get the results of the comparisons in a text document concatinated to look like this:

Collection B results

Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder
Dim ordersCount As Integer = &H3E8
Dim i As Integer

I realize this may be a simple request, but I am fairly new to VB so even the simplest tasks are sometimes over my head. Basically, what I need is a function that will take a URL from one of the text boxes on my form, and extract a certain piece of text from that URL. The problem, for me, lies in the fact that the text in question isn't always in the same position, character wise, every time. Basically, the URL looks something like this:
url...randomNumbers rarely seems to be the same amount of characters each time, however the randomNumbersINeed always appear after the second underscore and end right before the third underscore, no matter the amount of randonNumbers that appears before hand.The process I am working on does the following:
1. Takes the raw URL that I have pasted into a text box on the form.
2. Declares that text as a string.
3. Extracts randomNumbersINeed from that string
4. Assigns or declares randomNumbersINeed as a string
5. Appends that string to a .txt file.
I can do steps 1, 2, 4, and 5 with no problem, in fact I've already got those set up in my code ready to go. I just need a function that could extract the numbers from the URL.Could someone help me out here or point me in the right direction?
