I am writing a little app for the kids at a local kindergarden and I have some trouble with my code. I have a RichTextBox containing several times in the text the name John. I want to replace randomly the name John with other women names like below
So I have this:
Public Sub Replacements()
RichTextBox1.Text="John goes to the car and leaves. John it's taking a nap. Since John works late so (s)he won't be home for dinner. John loves the kids and the kids love John and made a really nice picture"

Okay, here is the problem. I am using two strings, they are separated by a comma and a space. Here is the example: Original String: "David, Narkisim" New String: "Narkisim, David" What I wanna do is have to scan if the original string has the same strings as the new strings. When I load the code, it replaces David, but not Narkisim. Here is the code. It is supposed to return an empty string in the end, but it doesn't.

View 3 RepliesI am trying to compare 2 strings from 2 listbox's, sort of a fuzzy match then output the results in a treeview I'm trying to tell it to split the words where spaces appear such as "The Dog Went Up The Hill",So that would see that as 6 words and then compare that to listbox2 which may contain "the dog went up the hill last night" which would the return an 80% match,but i just can't get my head round this, here's my code.
Private Sub Compare_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Compare.Tick
If ListBox1.Items.Count = 0 Then

Is there a simple way to compare and combine two strings? Example:
String 1 = "The dog jumped over the fence"
String 2 = "The brown dog jumped"
A function or something that takes those two strings and returns: "The brown dog jumped over the fence"
I have 2 text boxes and I load a text file in to each box, the files contents are "almost" exactly the same but not 100%. how would i compare the 2 against eachother and output the difference in percentage? I've made a program once before it was pretty cool it did all these things and it was in VB.Net i just cant remember how i did it.. i do know i counted how many of the sames words exist but i cant remember what else i did.

I suspect there is something wrong in my application, specifically in a part where I have to compare a couple strings and a couple integers.
I do something like this:
If myString = myOtherString Then
do something
End If
And the same thing for integers.
However, for some reason, it is not returning true... also, I heard somewhere there were more proper ways to compare strings and integers.
I have a Label and a textbox that both contain strings. I want to compare the two strings like this:
If TextBox5.Text = Label18.Text Then
Label4.Text = "CLOSED"
Else
Label4.Text = "OPEN"
End If
Something in there is not working however. Has anyone done something similar?

When i save data in my xml file i save a bunch of cities that the user has selected, i then proceed to load the data back into the program and populate the check fields besides the city
vb.net
'// Loop through each one and re-check them
For Each cityToCheck As Xml.XmlNode In nodeList
[code]....
This string stringSplit(0).tostring returns the city name say "Glasgow" i was trying to loop the listview that stores the cities, if they match then put a check mark, this is where the cities are located: (formAddCities.listViewCities.(FIRST ITEM IN COLUMN WHICH IS CITY NAME) the very first column in the listview, but i can't seem to get the right syntax?
I've build a list of Strings from files. The list itself is working fine (tried it by having ListBoxes and other controls loading its items from there just to make sure that this is not the issue). Now, I am using this list of strings to compare a Text in a TextBox1 while typing to determine if this TextBox1.Text already exists in the list. I am using the following code (where "s" stands for my List items):
Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
If TextBox1.TextLength < "1" Then
Button6.Enabled = False
ToolStripStatusLabel1.Image = My.Resources.pic_Add_Warning
ToolStripStatusLabel1.ForeColor = Color.Red

As you can see this class get the .html text and copy to one .txt file. Then it reads the .txt file. Now I just need to compare the string it read with one string from another form... How do I do it? Do I need to change the code?
I am trying to write a program that will compare two strings in different text boxes. Then it must add 1 to a third text box for every time a letter appears in both text boxes. So for example if textbox1 said ABCDF and textbox 2 said ABTR it should return the number 2 because A and B appear in both.
This is what I have so far
Public Class Form1 Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles string1.TextChanged
End Sub
Private Sub Compare_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Compare.Click
Dim string1 As String
Dim string2 As String
Dim Result As Integer
End Sub
Function stringcompare(ByVal string1 As String, ByVal string2 As String, ByVal string3 As String) As Integer
stringcompare(string1 As string, string2 As string) End Function End Class
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.

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 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.

This should be fairly simple but i'm having one of those days, can any1 advise me as to how to replace the first and third occurance of a character within a string, i have looked at replace but that cannot work as the string could be of different lengths, all i want to do is replace the first and third occurance?

I have an issue, i have a program im working on, that i have been working on and im trying to replace a whole block of text. I do it in one spot in my code and it works great, but in a different part of my code, even though im using the same exact logic and pretty much the same code (other than slight variable changes) it will not work, and i have no idea why, it just like ignores it. I took some screenshots:If you look hard the only difference is the "S12000" (top pic) is changed to "S6000" (bottom pic). The pic shows this part about 3/4 of the way thru it.
