C# :: Way To Have String.Replace Only Hit "whole Words"?

May 26, 2011

"test, and test but not testing. But yes to test".Replace("test", "text")return this:"text, and text but not testing. But yes to text"Basically I want to replace whole words, but not partial matches.NOTE: I am going to have to use VB for this (SSRS 2008 code), but C# is my normal language, so responses in either are fine.

Replace Words In A Sentence?

May 14, 2012

I am trying to replace words in a sentence.

Code:
Public Function convert(ByVal sentence As String) As String
Dim conv As String = sentence
conv = Replace(conv, "I am ", "you are")
conv = Replace(conv, "I'm", "you are")

[code]....

This works to some degree but a word like "Mommy" becomes "Momyour". Or "mean" becomes "youan" How can I do this with full words only? I've tried putting spaces before and after within the quotes, but then any of the words that need changed at the beginning of a paragraph, don't change because there is no space at the beginning.

String.replace - Replace The New Format YYYY-MM-DD Back To YYYYMMDD In The Code

May 5, 2009

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.

Public
Sub Main()
Dim R1, O1, P1, C1, strDateFrom, strDateTo, strRunDate

"replace" Words In PDF File Using ITextSharp

Jun 6, 2012

I have been given a task to replace text within an existing PDF file. I played around with iTextSharp and is halfway.

I did come accross an excellent sample on the CodeBank by stanav, which I have been using.

Now, I know that you cannot replace the existing text on the file, because a PDF document is not a Word document as such. So my way of thinking is to draw a block around the existing text, and resave the file.

I need to find the precise x & y location of the text, and then I could draw the block(s) over it - that way, blanking the words out.

This is my

Finding Words Within A String?

Mar 31, 2011

Basically what I'm trying to achieve is to extract all the words within a piece of string and transfer that from one text box to another text box.

An example piece of the string would be

<laugh:894u8438:4434:words>

However the words within the string will never remain constant and the characters before and after will change. Is there anything that will read the string and take a word from the string without it being pre-programmed. The string it is reading from is uploaded from a text file.
