Detect For A Specific Character In A String?

Jul 11, 2011

so in a program I'm working on in VB.NET I'm trying to make it so I can take in a list of strings (each on a different line). For each line I want to take in the line, and break it up into three parts. The first part goes from the beginning of the string to the first colon in the string, the second part goes from the first colon to the at symbol, and the last part goes from the at symbol to the end of the string.

For example, I'd take in a line of the series of lines: hello:world@yay

I'd want to break it into three separate strings of "hello", "world", and "yay".

How would I do such a thing in VB.NET?

Detect Chinese Character In A String Program?

Nov 30, 2011

Is there a way to detect a Chinese character in a string which is build like this:

dim test as string = "letters 中國的"

Now I want to substring only the Chinese characters. But my code is database driven, so I can't substring it, because the length is always different. So is there a way I can split the string, from the moment I detect a Chinese character?

I don't want to waste my time doing this one hour while VB can do this for me in <1 second.
