Quotes In Quotes Creates Error That Stops The Making Of A Desktop Shortcut?
Dec 27, 2011This should create a desktop shortcut but instead it spits out an error that is because of the quotes inside quotes. They need to be there, I know this is the problem as I have tried without them and it has worked. Another problem though is that it creates the shortcut (when Idon'thave quotes in quotes) but wraps the whole TargetPath in quotes making the shortcut unusable. Here is my code:
Dim input As String
Dim s As String = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("UserProfile")
input = TextBox1.Text

C# - Using SelectNodes With Attribute Having Single Quotes And Double Quotes?
Nov 9, 2011Is there any way to use selectnode with the attribute having both single and double quotes? If we are having single quote in the attribute we can use like below,

If we are having double quotes we can use,
nodeList = root.SelectNodes("//book[contains(title,'"""attribute"""')]")
how can I use an attribute ['attribute"] having both single and quotes in SelectNodes.
VB 2008 Extracting Links & Text - Links - Parsing Links & Text
Sep 12, 2009I'm just curious as to how some software programs that I see out there have the ability to extract links & text from thousands of web pages at an extremely high and fast rate. Has anyone here, ever created a link or text extracting program the has the ability to parse many webpages and return data into a textbox? I know how to extract links via the webbrowser control, but it doesn't seem to parse/extract data at a very high & fast rate like many email, link & text extracting programs that I see out there.

View 3 RepliesWhen Adding A Value To Another Value The Results Eventually Change From 2-decimal Places To Multiple Decimal Places?
Mar 13, 2009Problem: Using the sub routing below, when adding a value to another value the results eventually change from 2-decimal places to multiple decimal places.Basically, the amount stored should always only be 2 decimal places, because the values passed in are always 2 decimal places. Output from calling the sub routine multiple times.
Running total = 329430.75
New Withheld Amount = 710.79
Running total = 330141.54
[code]....
As a workaround, I have a new routine that uses a custom round function to properly store only 2 decimal places - as the VB round function does not perform the type of rounding desired.I understand that we are removing the value from the dictionary and adding it back..

It does not give the same effect. I want this as an output:

Interpretation Of Double Quotes Using Of Then
Jun 3, 2010Suppose I have a text string like this..
<The dog needs to go out "">
In the event the string ends with "">, I would like to isolate it. The end goal is to only write out text that looks like this:
<The dog needs to go out "now">, where a value exists between the quotes.
Here's my code:
If chk = "" Then
I've tried nesting chr(34)'s around it and all kinds of other things. I just cannot seem to interpret the quotes. Basically, I am appending an XML file from a database.
Code:
Private Sub AppendFile(ByVal textFileDirectory As String, ByVal textFileFile As String, ByVal textStringToPass As String)
Debug.WriteLine("textStringToPass: " & textStringToPass)
' If the last two characters of the string are "" then skip
Dim a As Integer = Len(textStringToPass) - 1

REGEX Result Without Quotes?
Apr 19, 2010I've got a regular expression that outputs the correct data but always puts it in quotes. Is there any way to get the data without the quotes?
Dim rgx1 As New Regex("(?<=FileID=).+?(?=FileStats)") 'find the information between these two
xReadFile = IO.File.OpenText(TextBox1.Text)'guess this can be disregarded
Wholefile = xReadFile.ReadToEnd()'and this too
MsgBox(rgx1.Match(Wholefile).Value) ' displays integer
I'm using a regex editor to help me write these and I think its just making it tougher to understand.

VS 02/03 Comparing Strings That Contain Quotes?
Aug 18, 2011I'm trying to compare the selected item in a combo box to the items in a collection in search of a match. There is guaranteed to be a match because the combo box was originally populated from the same collection. This is the code I'm using:
[Code]....
This code works for other collections but not for this one. In this case, the loop stops after the first iteration, regardless of what's selected in the combo box. I have confirmed that the collection contains the correct data and that there is a match for the combo box options. The only difference between this instance and other instances is that the values in the collection and in the combo box contain a double quote at the end. I suspect this is what's causing the error. (To be clear, there is no error message, it's simply not returning the correct value.) I've tried various string compare methods but none of them have fixed the problem.

C# - Strip Double Quotes From A String In .NET
Jul 24, 2009I'm trying to match on some inconsistently formatted HTML and need to strip out some double quotes.
Current:
<input type="hidden">
The Goal:
<input type=hidden>
This is wrong because I'm not escaping it properly:
s = s.Replace(""","");
This is wrong because there is not blank character character (to my knowledge):
s = s.Replace('"', '');

How To Set Attribute Value Of 'A' Tag In Live HTMLDocument With Quotes Around It
Feb 10, 2012Bascially, all i'm trying to do is change the value of an attribute (such as the TARGET attribute of an A anchor tag) to "_TOP" if the attribute exists, if it doesn't exist, (if IsNull returns True) then I just create the attribute and set the value to "_TOP".The problem is, it almost always sets it without quotes around it, and even if i try to set it with quotes by setting .value = Chr(34) & "_TOP" & Chr(34) then what it does is it sets SINGLE QUOTES around the quotes I place (it's like a bad joke) and turns up in the HTML as '"_TOP"' (lol), and if I set it normally, its just saved as <a href="..." target=_TOP>some link</a> (without quotes).[code]I've changed the above variable names & turned vars into strings ("target") etc to make it easier to read for anyone reading.
I have wasted heaps of hours on this, MSDN docs are as usual horrid, there is no real documentation or tutorial on this stuff either. I've even tried using .nodeValue instead of .value to do the setting, but makes no difference. Also, I've tried (in the Else section) removing the attribute and re-creating + re-adding it from scratch to see if this would make a difference, but it didn't.Of course, quotes are important because if you try to perform an action (call a method) on this element or use it later, you will get the dreaded "unspecified error". I do this through the WebBrowser Control in VB6, but same principle should apply everywhere... C#/.NET/JavaScript etc as it seems to be DOM related).since posting we realized that if we pass the attribute name in uppercase, then the value is saved with double quotes around it. although this is not a real solution (just a temporary one), i am still looking for answers if anyone has one and accepting any thoughts you may have about this in this post. However, the temporary solution has created another sub question, being a post about the problems that arise from using this temporary solution. The sub question related to this temporary solution is located at the following link for those who may find it useful or interesting to read about, and for those who would like to contribute to this discussion further: Must pass uppercase to set MSHTML element attribute (.setAttribute) correctly, why? And CaseInsensitive .setAttribute doesn't work
HTML - Regex To Remove Quotes From Img Tag?
Mar 9, 2011I need to remove all quotes from an image tag found within lots of other text. For example, I want to make
<img src="folder/image.gif" target="_blank" />
into
<img src=folder/image.gif target=_blank />
I'm using vb, and need to use a regEx specifically for the img tag and not use replace. The img tag can be in a block of other text, so I need to use regEx to search for the <img and then within that until I meet a /> I need to remove all quotes.
