lets say I have a string that I want to split based on several characters, like ".", "!", and "?". How do I figure out which one of those characters split my string so I can add that same character back on to the end of the split segments in question?
Dim linePunctuation as Integer = 0
Dim myString As String = "some text. with punctuation! in it?"
For i = 1 To Len(myString)

View 3 RepliesI have an string that is returned from an xml file and looks similar to this name1="test 1" name2="test2" name3="test 3".I want to split this into 3 elements of key=value. I can't just split using a space because some of my values may contain spaces, e.g., test 1.So, I'd like to split the string using the " before the space. I've tried many variations but can't figure out the correct syntax to specify that my split characters are a " followed by a space. For instance, I've tried text.split({""" "}) but that returns elements split by " and ignores the space after the ".It shouldn't be this difficult. Can someone please help me with the correct syntax?

MyArr(0) ends up "057359-001" which is correct.
MyArr(1) ends up "Pip" only which is incorrect.

Okay so what I'm trying to do is get the filename from OpenFileDialog/SaveFileDialog, only without the full path, and dump said filename into a variable so I can use it for other things.
Using the Split function, I can get any part of the array between the delimiters (""), but what I'm trying to do is get all the information after the LAST delimiter in the string.

I am working on finishing up a mvc 3 vb.net app... I have to parse about 2000 entries in a database and get the string value to the right of a " : " delimiter from one of the columns...

I have more issues involving needing to select string characters to the right or left of a delimiter... But if someone can show me how to achieve the above I can figure out the rest from there...

What would be the simplest way to find the n-th position of delimiter in a string.For example, say, I have a string variable called FullFilePath that contains the path of a file, like, C:SourceFiles<mthyr><subject><filename>.txt From this, I would like to extract out mthyr, subject, and filename, using the delimiter, "".
I was hoping string.IndexOf would let me find the n-th position of the delimiter "", in which case I can use the result to do a string.Substring. But it looks like IndexOf only finds the first occurence of a certain string, which means I would have to interate this somehow to look for the n-th occurence.
Or is there another method that will help me do this more efficiently.
