Find The Closest Valid Date To One Given As An Invalid Date String?

Aug 18, 2010

So there's this accounting package at my client that spits out text-based reports with invalid dates, like February 31st or September 31st.The reports are formatted with spaces and mono-spaced fonts. The data that gets parsed out are fed into a more formal local SSRS report, and that's about all you need to know.

What I am interested in fixing is the situation where a date is invalid and can't be converted into a DateTime struct. The date format from the report is "MMM-dd-yy" (e.g. "Feb-30-10"). The date strings need to be fixed before being shown in the formal report. I've seen this done two ways in my time as a developer, and I want to come up with a cleverer way of doing it (if there isn't a built-in way I don't know about).The first bad method (I can't believe I'm even showing you!):

Dim month As Integer = <Parse out the month from the bad date string>
Dim day As Integer = <Parse out the day from the bad date string>
Dim year As Integer = <Parse out the year from the bad date string>
Dim validDate As DateTime

Ensure That Conversion Of A Date To A String And A String To A Date Will Give The Same Date Format?

Jan 16, 2012

how I can ensure that conversion of a date to a string and a string to a date will give me the same date format.

For example:

Code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim d As Date = Date.Now

[code].....

I'm actually only interested in the date part as the label text shows so f is more than I want.But also, the day and month are reversed.

Find Exact Match Of A Word In A Textbox If It Exists

Nov 20, 2011

I need a way to tell me if a certain word already exists in a multi-lined textbox. Right now I have a multi-lined textbox with some names inside it. After each name I add a newline so all the names are on their own line inside the textbox.I use this code to add names to the textbox, Text Box1. AppendText(ComboBox1.Text + vbCrLf)Then I have been checking if the name exists by doing it this way,[code]The problem is that Ted and Teddy return the same when searching for Ted even if Ted isnt in the textbox at all, I have googled for the last few days and even tried RegularExpressions and still the same results. I think this might be a simple true or false check but I may be wrong... or even a loop or something line by line.

Where To Look In A VB Backend To Find Parameters That Match Stored Procedures

Apr 8, 2009

I am building a module that uses gridview and formview to display data in a grid, using VB as my backend, developing in VS2008. When I try to implement the module, I receive an error about matching parameters.From what I have read, this error kicks back due to a discrepancy between the VB and the SQL stored procedures.My query should be totally okay, but I don't know where exactly I should be looking in my visual basic...I have five separate VB files; the view.vb file, edit.vb, settings.vb, the controller.vb, and info.vb.I had thought that my best bet might be the controller file, but I can seem to find anything that might be missing.

.net - Write A Linq To Sql Query To Find Records Where Field Name Can Match One Of Dynamic Number Of Strings?

Mar 21, 2012

I have users check off lab facilities in a UI. I want to use linq to fetch corresponding records for all of the labs that they have checked off. Basically,

Dim myRecs = (From l As EpiData In myDataContext.EPIDatas Where l.facility= _
one of the checked labs

So basically, I need to write a linq query where the "strings" to match are determined at runtime. Is there any way to do this easily? I know that there is a library out there called dynamic LINQ, but (1) it's in C# and I'm writing in VB (2) I'm really just looking for a single, simple solution for this single case.

Match A Word In A String?

Apr 18, 2011

I'm currently trying to match a word in a string - to a word in an 1 dimensional arrray.

So it does this.

1.Goes into array, gets first word.

2.Looks for that word in the string.

3.If can't find it, go to next word in array.

4.And so forth until it finds it or runs out of words in array.

Problem is the string can be upto 2000 characters long. And the Array with the possible matches can have upto 8000 entries.

So when it runs, if the word begins with 'A' it finds it dead quick as the 'A's are at the top of the array, ordered alphabetically. This is great.

But if the word starts with 'Z' then it takes 4-5 seconds before finding it.

I'm basically using InStr to find the word in the string.

Compare Letters Of A String To See If They Match

May 18, 2012

I am making a question and answer game, and I would like to be able to give the user some slack in the answers if they were to misspell a word by a letter or two, like if the answers was Jumps and they type Jump if you did a comparison of them like If string1 = sring2 then do whatever, but obliviously those to string dont match, so it would return false, even though it is the right answer, I came up with this routine to compare two words and if the percentage of the letters are higher then 82 % right it will give you credit for your answer.

Javascript - Getting The Closest String Match

May 2, 2011

I need a way to compare multiple strings to a test string and return the string that closely resembles it:

TEST STRING: THE BROWN FOX JUMPED OVER THE RED COW
CHOICE A : THE RED COW JUMPED OVER THE GREEN CHICKEN
CHOICE B : THE RED COW JUMPED OVER THE RED COW
CHOICE C : THE RED FOX JUMPED OVER THE BROWN COW

(If I did this correctly) The closest string to the "TEST STRING" should be "CHOICE C". What is the easiest way to do this?

I plan on implementing this into multiple languages including VB.net, Lua, and JavaScript. At this point, pseudo code is acceptable.
