Displaying Data In One Text Box All In ASCII Code/characters?
Oct 12, 2009
I have made an application in VB 6.0.In this application ,i am connecting one controller through serial port to laptop.I have used MSOMM control for this purpose.Controller is sending data as a string .On VB 6.0 applicaton in laptop ,i am getting data displayed in one text boxall in ASCII code/characters.Total chatacters in string are 61.My problem is this that all 61 characters are comming in one text box.I want thateach character should come in seperate text box so that i can be able to display them individually,i.e. 61 characters and 61 text boxes.
So I have an ASP.Net (vb.net) application. It has a textbox and the user is pasting text from Microsoft Word into it. So things like the long dash (charcode 150) are coming through as input. Other examples would be the smart quotes or accented characters. In my app I'm encoding them in xml and passing that to the database as an xml parameter to a sql stored procedure. It gets inserted in the database just as the user entered it.
The problem is the app that reads this data doesn't like these characters. So I need to translate them into the lower ascii (7bit I think) character set. How do I do that? How do I determine what encoding they are in so I can do something like the following. And would just requesting the ASCII equivalent translate them intelligently or do I have to write some code for that?
Also maybe it might be easier to solve this problem in the web page to begin with. When you copy the selection of characters from Word it puts several formats in the clipboard. The straight text one is the one I want. Is there a way to have the html textbox get that text when the user pastes into it? Do I have to set the encoding of the web page somehow?
I have a program written in VB.NET and I have a textbox for the RFID tag (which is in ASCII format) and then convert it to a simple text format to be saved to my database. How can I convert ASCII to plain text to save to my database?
I'm working on decoding a NMEA sentence that is a compressed 8-bit string. I'm having a very hard time of wrapping my head around the bit manipulation needed to convert this string. If someone could get me started with this it would be great.
I need to write an application for receiving data (ascii characters) from microcontroller through the serial port in three separate parts. I've created three RichTextBoxes, but I do not know which commands I need to type. In first textbox I need to receive one byte... next six bytes need to be placed in second text box, and finally last seven bytes need to be placed in third textbox.
what would be the optimum code in VB2010 that check a file to determine:
1) is it a text file, and
2) if it is a text file, does it contain any non-ASCII characters
Note that LF, CR, and EOF would be expected, and should not be flagged. I can think of 3 - 4 ways to do it, but there may be a 'best' way in terms of simplicity and speed.
I have an app that I have been recoding in vb.net formerly written in VB6. In this app I use some ASCII control codes such as ACK NAK ENQ US RS EOT. The VB6 app uses the CHR() function with the proper ASCII codes to handle these but in recoding I would like to use something more meaningful and descriptive than CHR(4) for example.
I am using visual basic 2008 and trying to create an application to plot data from text files. I have several data files of various sizes. They have an unknown number of rows and either 2 or 4 columns.I need to put the data into 2 dimensional array, so value(,) becomes either value(lines,3) or value(lines,1) depending on the number of columns.My program needs to be able to count how many columns there are, and redim value(,) appropriately.I have written a piece of code to count the number of lines (rows) in the file using 'While not (EOF(1)) ....' but I'm stuck on how to count the number of columns.I could ask the user to indicate how many columns there are before the file is read, but I would prefer the program to detect the number automatically.
I am developing an app that will import numeric data and export it to various text files using ascii templates. I am basically converting the template file into a single string, replacing application fields in the string with {0}, {1}, etc... and adding the result into an array that is then passed to the String.Format(str_Template, Params()) to provide the final output. I have set it up so the template will use the standard VB.Net formatting syntax.
A simple template example: {<prt_Mark>:G} {<prt_Qty>:F2} {<prt_Length>:F2} {<prt_Remarks>:G}
I'm programming in VB.NET using Visual Studio 2008. I need to define a string literal containing the character "÷" equivalent to Chr(247). I understand that internally VS uses UTF-16 encoding, but when the source file is written to disk it contains the single byte value F7 for this character.
This source file is processed by another program that uses UTF-8 encoding by default, so it fails to interpret this character correctly, attempting to combine it with the following single-byte character. What encoding would correctly interpret the single byte F7 as the single character ÷?
Alternatively, is there a way of expressing a non-ASCII literal that uses only ASCII characters - like using some kind of escape sequence?
I'm using this code to return some string from a tcpclient but when the string comes back it has a leading " character in it. I'm trying to remove it but the Len() function is reading the number of bytes instead of the string itself. How can I alter this to give me the length of the string as I would normally use it and not of the array underlying the string itself?
Dim bytes(tcpClient.ReceiveBufferSize) As Byte networkStream.Read(bytes, 0, CInt(tcpClient.ReceiveBufferSize)) ' Output the data received from the host to the console.'
[code]....
Len() reports the number of bytes not the number of characters in the string.
I'm using IO.File.ReadAllLines(FileName) to read all lines from text file to array of strings at once. Problem is, text lines include ANSI characters above ASCII value 127 (Scandinavian letters e.g. " (Ascii 196), (Ascii 246) and (Ascii 233). Array is build up nicely, but all chars above ascii value 127 are not shown right. How can I use ANSI character set with .ReadAllLines to correct this problem? In VB6 with "Open Filename For Input As #1 / Line Input #1, txtLine" there wasn't any problem. OBS: This is already solved, found the answer by myself:
Dim myEncoding As Encoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(1252) ' Windows-1252 Dim strLibrary As String() = IO.File.ReadAllLines(FileName, myEncoding) Problem was to find right character set, which was Windows-1251 (ISO-8859-1)
I want to explicitly inform my user that they are not allowed to use any characters from the extended ascii character set (128-255). When I try to create a string of these values using the following [Code] It outputs them fine, with the exception of a bunch of blanks in certain areas(I am assuming these characters are unprintable), but I noticed that when I hover over the value of sVal in the VS, the tooltip/quickview of the value is written nicely on one line. Any ideas how to remove characters that would appear to be blank spaces (unprintable) when outputting this list?
I am using StreamWriter and StreamReader in VB.NET 2008 Express to read and write ASCII text files. When I create the file and later read it, there is no problem, because I use System.Text.Encoding.UTF8 on both the write and read sides, so extended text is handled without problem. But sometimes, I have text files come in that are just straight 8 bit ASCII without the Unicode BOM... and they get a lot of junk when I try to read in anything with extended ASCII characters in it. It seems like the 8 bit extended characters are translated into multi-byte codes, and since they are filenames, of course, that doesn't work. Since the filenames just have straight 8 bit ASCII filenames. I have tried all sorts of encodings, and nothing seems to work.
The most common character that causes a problem is an "a" ... it is used in a lot of proper names. The funny thing is that sometimes is seems to workout... is there a way to read these types of text files? Some way to just tell StreamReader not to decode the text, just treat it as straight plain 8 bit ASCII text (with the old IBM PC mapping, I think). The one thing that works is to manually edit the input, replacing the extended characters with their un-accented partner and then renaming the files to match the new spelling. Maybe I should just go to read them as byte input and breaking the lines apart in my code.
I'm an undergraduate student from Singapore University, would like to enquire you on how to convert character codes to ASCII codes using visual basic. regarding the codes on how to build it as I need it for my semestral project
i have a problem a in vb.net in Windows Vista Basic environment, while using the chr(0) it gives an empty string, while in windows XP chr(0) gives the following character am wonderign why in windows vista it can't result to the same thing actually it amounts to NOTHING as the result.
I would like to pass a whitespace character by using the System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(" "), and System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(" ") , where " " is the whitespace Character required. What do I need to type (" ") to get a whitespace character passed.?
How to correctly convert string containing upper ASCII characters to byte array besides looping through each character and filling the array using AscW(chr)?I know I can do something like:
Code: Dim bSourceData As Byte() = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.GetBytes(sourcedata)
But this only works for lower ascii characters (0-127).Instead of ASCIIEncoding I can specify encoding myself (System.Text.Encoding.Getencoding(encoding).GetBytes(sourcedata)). But I have to specify correct encoding in this case, otherwise most of special characters are converted to "?". What should I do if I don't know the encoding?
On the page I have created I have a search facility that if a doctors number is searched it will bring up the doctors details, once search button is clicked the results are displayed in textboxes (I cannot use gridviews because this is not wanted)sample of code placed on the search buttonQuery statement = "SELECT DocNumber FROM tblDoctor WHERE DNum LIKE '%"execute the query and get the resultThe result is converted to string and Execute Scalar is usedDocNum.Text = Result1
Query statement = "SELECT DocName FROM tblDoctor WHERE DNum LIKE '%" execute the query and get the result The result is converted to string and Execute Scalar is used
Need to enter characters into a label box as input that should display wingdings as output in a text box.How do you write code in VB to convert characters (ABC) from a label box to wingdings in a text box?
I have this string just down loaded of a Unix server. I would like to remove the box (0x0A) Unix end line code; then replace it with CR+LF normal ASCII code. Also, I would like to do the replace before I save the data, while it in memory.
I have a textbox which is part of my program and when I input data to the text box it fills the database with the data the way it is supposed to. I navigate through the data and the textbox show all the data from all the records I input. The problem is when I close the program and reopen it the textbox is empty for the first record. When I run a report or look at the access data base the data is there. If i navigate and go to the second record it shows the data for second and all the others the way it supposed to in the textbox.
I have a text document that contains a bunch of data sets. However before each data set there is a number surrounded by brackets. I need to go instance by instance of brackets and pull the number between the brackets and the lines after the brackets until the next bracket. Here is an example of the text file that contains the data. I know how to read from a text document, do substring, do contain function, etc... I just am extremely stumped on how to do this. Here is an example of a couple entries of the text document...
[4188] LongName= ShortName= LauncherDirKey=
[Code]....
Notice how different sections have a different amount of lines therefore a reading a fixed number of lines is not an option.
I am currently working on a project that will read HTML pages and store some information. I am doing this by loading the HTML page into a webbrowser, then viewing the source of the page by using:
I am using VB Express 2010. All of a sudden the characters = + < > % have become invisible in my code editor. I didnt change any font or language settings. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but the problem is still there.
A simple database has been created in Access, which is just basically a table of text, with some images as entries. A form has been created in VB2008 Express and linked to the database. Either a combibox, text boxes or pictureboxes are linked to a column form the database. The first row entries are all displayed correctly in the relavant boxes (except for the images, which for some reason aren't displayed). If another value in the comibox is selected, the other box values don't change and there is still no images visible...
I'm testing a "simple" login program: it has predetermined ID and Password, after input is correct then you can change the ID and Password. It saves a Non-Encrypted file that has the new ID and Password. Then after the program loads (when it is opened again) it reads the file to retreive the ID and Password, but when it reads, it reads it in 32-bit code, I need it in Ascii (with alphabetical representation) so that I can compare it to the input.I also get an error stating the length cannot be a negative (right after my comment).
Here is my code:
Imports System Imports System.IO Imports System.Text
I'm making a custom control suited for handling passwords. I have created a control that inherits from a text box and I have implemented a lot of things so far. But what i want to do now is create a system so that when a user types It will display his last character typed for a X amount of time.Is there a way to turn only selected characters into password characters and still be able to get the password text from the Text property ?
