for example, the argument is "c:xx.txt" and this displays c:xx.txt instead Console.WriteLine((My.Application.CommandLineArgs(4)))

s = s.Replace(""","");
This is wrong because there is not blank character character (to my knowledge):
s = s.Replace('"', '');

My program creates a CSV file, this works fine and each line created is correct except it does not have a double quote at each end. How does one add a double quote to the beginning and end of each record without the program thinking it is a formatting function.[code] Although neither method caused an error, neither did they achieve the desired result. Is there an easy way to do this that works?

View 8 RepliesI have a table with many values inside of it that might have single quotes around them. I need to create a duplicate table without those single quotes. I can't modify the original table as I need to use it, 'as-is' later.
I've done this with a table.Clone and using a foreach to loop through the rows and columns removing single quotes as I need and then putting that new row into the new table. It works and it's straight forward.....but
I'd like to do the same thing using LINQ. This was my attempt....
Dim myResults = From myRow In dtTable _
From myItem In myRow.ItemArray _
Where TypeOf myItem Is String AndAlso _
myItem.ToString.StartsWith("'"c) AndAlso _
myItem.ToString.EndsWith("'"c)
I had trouble finding examples that weren't looking at a specific column in the DataRow. It looks like my code does pull back all the matching results - but I'm at a lose for how I can create a duplicate table/modify the values?
The only requirement is to not using a For Each; as I already know how to do that. I've gotten closer - but I still can't seem to create a new row or a new table.
My new approach hits a dead-end when I try to do this:
Dim MyNewRow As New Data.DataRow With {.ItemArray = myRemovedQuotes.ToArray}
The Error message I get says, "Error 1'System.Data.DataRow.Protected Friend Sub New(builder As System.Data.DataRowBuilder)' is not accessible in this context because it is 'Protected Friend'."
I am grabbing an HTMLElement from a browser object and then using getElementById to grab the element I want. When the element is grabbed into the HtmlElement object double quotes around attributes like <input type="checkbox" name="test1" /> becomes <input type=checkbox name=test1>.It is removing the double quotes and backslash from the HTML available in the HtmlElement. Is there anyway to get the HTML element from Visual Basic .NET code and keep the true HTML formatting?
