C# - Finding A Repeating Pattern In A Given String?
Jan 4, 2012
I have a networkstream (using C#/VB.NET). while on reading values coming like this:
&% 68 kg K A&% 23 kg K A&% 174 kg K A &% 68 kg
&% 34 kg K A&% 2334 kg K A&% 68 kg K A &% 68 kg K A
&% 2348 kg K A&% 78 kg K A&% 28 kg K A&% 68 kg
The numerical(weight) value will be continuously varying.
Every time i am reading the starting of the stream differs. But the pattern remains the same. How to split that into '&% 78 kg K A' which represents one set.
How to extract the weight value from this stream using Regex or any other methods?
Im trying to make an on access file scanner, YES I know that C++ is better, but this is a concept of thought, trying to challenge myself to see if its possible in vb.
Anyways, I have a list of Hex definitions, my question is, how can I index this list so I can access the definitions faster. A definition looks like this:
The part after the equals sign is the HEX signature, while the first part is the name of the definition.
Basically what I am trying to do is index them somehow where I can scan faster, as I have over 60,000 definitions and I have to split each individual one in order to get the signature name. It takes about 45 seconds or so to scan a 500KB file. I need it to be WAY faster.
I'm trying to find a pattern in a string, I guess is very easy but I'm terrible in regular expressions. I have a big text and I need to find all the next type of pattern: {a|b|c} That can be also something like this: {a|b|c|s|f|f|ft|r} or any number of items inside but at least 2 items so the pipe symbol is another key. Is this an easy regular expression? I'm using vb.net 2005.
i just want to know if there is a way to implement constraint for parameters with a repeating pattern. For that i meant something like this
ParamArray pattern as Integer()
if i need an integer, and any amount of the "pattern" (the pattern here is one integer). so basically the pattern accepts 1 integer and multiples of 1 integer, meaning 2 integers, 3 integers so is there a way to upgrade this so we can have this pattern:
Integer, Boolean
and any valid combinations for this pattern will include
I want my app to look for a byte pattern in a process and return the first memory address of that byte pattern. I know I should use ReadProcessMemory and a loop, but I don't really know how to create a function for that,
As a continuation of my other thread, "Finding A Pattern without a string Array (http:[url]....)", I would like to continue asking questions about enhancing a scanner with a few things:
1. Here is my code for finding signatures in a file:

I have built a blog platform in VB.NET where the audience are very young, and for some reason like to express their commitment by repeating sequences of characters in their comments.
Examples:
Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3 LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL ..and so on.
I don't want to filter this out completely, however, I would like to shorten it down to a maximum of 5 repeating characters or sequences in a row.I have no problem writing a function to handle a single repeating character. But what is the most effective way to filter out a repeating sequence as well?This is what I used earlier for the single repeating characters
Private Shared Function RemoveSequence(ByVal str As String) As String Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder sb.Capacity = str.Length
I want to make all possible combination of each and every words from a entered string (without repeating). I found on net but can't get code for word combination instead I got character combination.

The batch section should generate a new random value and write it every time it do the loop, but...It is repeating values. There are more than one line with the same value. What I'm doing wrong?
Is there a way to search for a string pattern in a string ?
i have 1000 of strings and example of one is - 'won 2 races in town, 1998, and then moved to'i wish to search for the ", ####," as all the strings are in the same format (note that the year is different every time hence why not using the instr)
I am struggling to extract a 'matched' string and wonder if I am missing something simple.Let's say my code finds a string 'abcdefgh -john. smith 1234567 a123-a-123-f the last search, abc, 123 ;'I am searching this string for the pattern '[a-z]###-[a-z]-###-*'I know this text appears in the string as 'a123-a-123-f'I would like to be able to return the matched string value 'a123-a-123-f' to a variable.If I place a wildcard * in front of the pattern, it will find the text, but obviously everything else in front of it, is there a way that somebody can think of to strip the variable without using the preceding wildcard?I am not worried about the wildcard on the end of the string as I can strip back to the last space.[code]
Could someone please guide me on the correct format string to display a time in the following format? [code] Is there one format string I can use to accomplish this?
The known part is the [0] or [1] or whatever number in the brankets.the unknown part is the rest of the message.So if i have this string i want to cut it to smaller substrings that start with [ and end before the next [ .To make it more tough, sometimes, before the next [ there is another message that comes like: Jun 19 17:13:40 2012 timestamp And after that it continues with the next [
I've got an issue with a program I am writing. The specific issue is replacing characters in a parent string by finding, and matching, specific characters within it that are parsed from an external xml file. It's for a chat-like client.Here's the 2 classes I am using to pull the emote strings, titles, and id from external XML:
Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions Imports System.Xml.Serialization Public Class emote
I need to be able to serialize a class into a string, and I know of 2 patterns:
1) (normal) Serialization pattern
2) Proxy Serialization pattern
I've read [URL] (the only website in google that talks about the proxy-serialization pattern) and still cant find the advantage or benefit of using this pattern. Could someone explain what exactly is the proxy serialization pattern, or rather exactly what problem does the proxy-serialization pattern solves that the normal-serialization pattern doesn't solve?
i have a string array that i want to output to a text file. the array size is 10000. i fill the array starting from 0 with some strings. at the end, i only want to show the array from index 256 to the last array that is not empty (for eg. if the array is filled with data from 0 to 2000, i only want the text file to show the data from 256 to 2000 and ignore the remaining strings). Is there any function to do this?t i use is shown below
Dim myArray(10000) as string Dim strArray As New System.IO.StreamWriter("c:List.txt") strArray.WriteLine("{0,10}{1,30}", "Index", "Symbol")

I have a somewhat unique problem that I have looked for an answer to and continually hit brick walls. The problem is this. I'm using vb.net to read a byte array from memory which total 32768 in length, which is converted to a string. The memory is the active console chunk in the game Call of Duty 4.
My problem seems simple but I can't find an answer for it.I need to be able to pull a phone number (string) from an entire string. example: "My phone number is (xxx) xxx-xxxx, call me as soon as possible."
Its obvious to me that the phone number should be able to change depending on who you are talking too. So the question becomes, how do i search for the phone number's format within the above string?
I think VB has a way of doing this, but for the life of me I can't find it. I want to search through a string for anything contained between two certain characters, e.g between 2 | characters. I'm not sure if I want to split the string at this point, but I only want anything contained between the two | markers. So for example if the string reads |ABC|DEF I only want to retrieve the ABC, but not the DEF as it's not completed yet.
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?
Ive got a question about finding the greatest value in a string. I am connected to a database but I am positive that part is right. So i posted here instead of there.
Dim x As Double Dim ConnStr As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & "Data Source=DBASE.MDB"

How do I make my If..Then statement return the highest value of row 0's x? My output (by changing the if then statement) will either return the first or last entry in row 0. I hooked up my code to a list box and got all the data to list perfectly i just don't know how to get the highest number after i use the formula for x (which is {c1-c2}/c2).
I made a Windows service which daily deletes some records from a SQL Server database. But i don't know what my connectionstring should look like ... the service and the database will both be located on the server.I found this example, which parts do i need to change ?
