View 3 RepliesI have been struggling to get vbscript working for last three days of relentless effort. I have windows 7 ultimate and upgraded from windows vista. searched the web for solutions and tried out all the options I think I have, but yet no luck.
I tried registering vbscript.dll and I get a succeeded message back. Everything seems to be fine. but, I just cannot run vbscript on my computer. It complains that "can't find script engine vbscript for script ....". I have a hunch that it is something to do with "microsfot security essentials (my virus protection software)" or with UAC.
Ok I have a vbscript string in a wsf file as below:

What I need to do is convert this string to a c# string, I understand that a vbscript & translates to a + in c# string concatentation but what does vbCrLf and _ translate to?
i want to get the line number of a text file that contains a particular string data.

filename=sample.txt
sample.txt contains

how to remove or replace specific characters from a string. The code sample is provided contains a VBScript function to parse a string, replacing or removing any character found in the array declared at the beginning of the function.VBScript String Clean Function - Remove/Replace Illegal CharatersThe function was originally writted to remove illegal characters found in a string for use as a document file name in SharePoint Document Library.To use the function, simply update the array at the beginnning of the function to include all of the characters which are to be removed or replaced. If replacing specific characters with something else, the you will need to set inside the finction the string which will replace each character if found.The VBScript function then returns a cleaned string.VBScript String Clean Function - Remove/Replace Illegal CharatersBlogs: SharePoint Development | Web Development & Programming | Webmaster resources & free SEO
View 1 RepliesIm trying to work out what the best way to match 2 strings together, but with a difference.
String1 = "dog cat bird chair book table"
String2 = "the dog chassed the cat around the chair"
No I know I can break string1 up by space character and check if each word appears in string 2, I would prefer to not have to do that.If there some sought of regex that would take a group of words and retrun how many of them matched ?

im working with a receipt layout and trying to divide up a products descriptiontext into 2 lines if its longer then 24 characters.my first solution was something like this:

TextToPrint &= Row.Description.Substring(24) & vbNewLine

Basically what I'm trying to achieve is to extract all the words within a piece of string and transfer that from one text box to another text box.
An example piece of the string would be
<laugh:894u8438:4434:words>
However the words within the string will never remain constant and the characters before and after will change. Is there anything that will read the string and take a word from the string without it being pre-programmed. The string it is reading from is uploaded from a text file.
I need to take this string of words and separate them by each " " encountered. Then I need to place them into my list. How can I accomplish this? here's the code I have so far:
Dim txtLine as string = "Easter never homage entrance"
Dim spaces, subStart As Integer
spaces = txtLine.IndexOf(" ")

I was wondering how would i make a search kind of thing, for example if string1 contains all the words in string2 words. like a search(not just if string1 contains string 2).
it should work something like this:
If string1 is "an apple" and if string2 is "djsjfsfg apple sdfsfssdfs" then string3 would be nothing
BUT
If string1 is "an apple" and if string2 is "djsjfsfg apple sdfsfssdfs an ashdfjdsgfsdgfj" then string3 would be "djsjfsfg apple sdfsfssdfs an ashdfjdsgfsdgfj"
Can anyone offer a VB.NET function to extract the first three words from a text string (where spaces are used as dividers between words)?

The Bahamas has established a Stock Exchange, passed legislation aimed at" I can then add "... [More]" or whatever to the end of this string and voila! Is there any way of using regular expressions (regex), substr or something similar to produce this output?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to strip the first 75 characters from various strings (sentences / phrases) and it seems right but I need to ensure that the now words are truncated in the process. Meaning that if the 75 character is part of a word it needs to fall back to the beginning of the word or nearest space..
I thought of stripping the entire string into separate words and then counting the length of combining the words and stopping when I reach the target but what do I do in the case when it is not a valid sentence just a bunch of characters jammed together. I thought of using grammar parsing tool libraries and parsing into tokens etc but that seems to over complicated.
if text.length() > 75 then
ctext = text.remove(text.length, 75) & "..."
endif
I put elipses at the end but using the above I also get the error:

I have a textbox which has about 120 lines of text but this can vary.

I've looked at InStr but am unsure if this is what I'm after as it does not seem to work for me.
