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 have a text document that is a list of words. How do i code using substring so that it singles out each of these words and makes it into an array?
View 14 RepliesI'm using a program see here: Visual Basic Regular Expression Question. I enter letters and the program returns all possible combinations from list. I want change this line of code...
Dim result = fruits.Where(Function(fruit) Not fruit.Except(letters).Any())
If I have this list:
Dim fruit as List(Of string) from {"apple","orange","pear","banana"}
And I input "p a p l e r" then it would return "apple" and "pear", but if I enter "a p l e r" then it would return just "pear". The idea is to return all words, which can be made of entered letters without duplicating any single letter. How to optimize this Linq code?
In VB.net I've got the following line that removes all non-alphanumeric chars from a string:
return Regex.Replace(build, "[W]", "")
I now need to extend this to remove non-alphanumeric chars that aren't [] or _. I've changed the line to:
return Regex.Replace(build, "[W[]_]", "")
However I'm pretty sure that this says
replace non-word or [ or ] or _
how do I negate the tests for the [] and _ chars so that it says
replace non-word and not [ and not ] and not _
Some examples:
"[Foo Bar_123456]" => "[FooBar_123456]"
"[Foo Bar_123-456*]" => "[FooBar_123456]"
I've been using LINQ so much in the last couple of weeks that when I had to write a one line function to remove < and > from a string, I found that I had written it as a LINQ query: [code] My question is, is it better to do it with LINQ as above or with StringBuilder as I've always done, as below: [code] Both work, the second one is easier to read, but the first one is designed for executing queries against arrays and other enumerables.

View 2 RepliesI'm having a problem implementing Scott G's Dynamic.vb extension at [URL] in my vb solution. I've searched StackOverflow (80+ Q&As) and numerous other sites without much luck. I'm using VS 2010.I've included Dynamic.vb in a problem with no root namespace, and then added a reference to that project in my main one. I'm getting intellisense for 4 overloads (rather than 2) so I'm pretty certain that the extension is in scope.I was having a tough time with clauses, especially the OrderBy as Scott demonstrated. If I simply pass a string as Scott's VB example did I get the error "Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'OrderBy' can be called with these arguments."
The line of code is:
Dim FilteredComponentList = From Component As MX.Component In ComponentList.AsQueryable _
.OrderBy("Name")
So I found other references that stated to pass a Lambda expression. So I tried this and at least I get no error, even if the sort function still doesn't seem to work. Here is the code that compiles and executes.
Private Sub SortByColumn()
If Not cmbComponentFilter.SelectedItem.ToString = "All" Then
Dim FilteredComponentList = From Component As MX.Component In ComponentList.AsQueryable _
[code]....
When I interrogate the dgvComponents.Columns(e.ColumnIndex).Name it gives the objects property I wish to sort by, but the sort still isn't working. I'm concerned why I can't get Scott's implementation to work, but I've heard his keynotes and read his blogs, so I'm guessing the problem lies with my implementation.
I'd like either to work but need to understand why as well. Why doesn't passing a string work? Isn't the PARAMARRAY declared in the function optional?
Suppose I have the following data
Key ID Data
A 1 Hello
A 2 World
B 2 Bar
B 1 Foo
I am looking to produce the result
A HelloWorld
B FooBar
I am struggling to get the syntax quite right - I was trying to use Aggregate, but I wasn't sure if I could (or should) use SelectMany
Dim data = result.Rows.
GroupBy(Function(r) r.Key).
Select(Function(g) g.OrderBy(Function(s) s.ID)).

I'm having issues with returning a list of strings of the .Value of a Linq query:
Dim details = <Details>
<Vector size="5">
<Item>Syntactic Structures</Item>
<Item>Introduction</Item>
<Item>The Independence of Grammar</Item>
[Code]...
Is correct in that it returns the list of XElements I want (items 1 - 4, base 0), but I really just need a list of strings for the .Value of those XElements. Maybe I'm just dense here, but anything I've tried in the chapterTitles query isn't working (appending with .ToList.ToString, etc.). details.<Vector>.<Item>.Skip(1).Take(4).Value just returns the first XElement's value.
Given a table like
ID | Name | City
1 | X | Y
2 | Z | Y

I have a specialized string dictionary of (string, string) (_RulesAndTheirDescriptions) that contains the name (key) and description (value) of methods in a given class. I currently do the following query to search for a match on the key or value and then bind that to a grid.
[Code]...
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?
View 2 RepliesI have users check off lab facilities in a UI. I want to use linq to fetch corresponding records for all of the labs that they have checked off. Basically,
Dim myRecs = (From l As EpiData In myDataContext.EPIDatas Where l.facility= _

So basically, I need to write a linq query where the "strings" to match are determined at runtime. Is there any way to do this easily? I know that there is a library out there called dynamic LINQ, but (1) it's in C# and I'm writing in VB (2) I'm really just looking for a single, simple solution for this single case.
I've got 2 RTB one is for input of text and one is output.The output one needs to read the words from the input and display it alphabetically and with their line numbers.I have partly done it and it currently reads it but here is my problem When the words are outputted let say for example there are 2 words the same on the same line e.g the word 'you' appears twice on line one,at the moment its coming up like this

other than GML (Yoyogames.com Game Maker Language), I am new to the coding world. The only "major" project I have completed using VB is a computer calculator that exactly mimics the capabilities of Windows 7's calculator. Yesterday, I began a Chatbot program for my girlfriend. Lol. I have used the instr() function to answer most of the questions or answers which are typed into the textbox1. I find this extremely troublesome because when using the instr() function you cannot say instr(textbox1.

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;
Public Sub ReadData(ByRef keywordStart As String, ByRef keywordEnd As String, ByVal filename As String)
Using reader = New StreamReader(filename)

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
