I just can't think of an easy way to do this. It seems easy, but I'm not just sure how to do this. I want the software to grab a random word inside the bracket "{}". The "|" is the delimiter. Here are some examples...
Input #1: {Hey|Hay|Hello} How {are|r} {you|u} doing?
Output Example #1: Hey How r you doing?

I've been using VisualBasic 2008 Express Edition for a little while now, and I've gotten the hang of a few things like nesting and basics like that. I love learning everything I can about it, and so I'm working on a program that's got some things I'm not so familiar with involved. I'm not sure exactly what it is I'm looking for help with; as I'm sure some of you may know, there are many different ways to accomplish the same task--it's just that we don't always know the simplest solution, unfortunately. So anyhow, I'd like this program to do a couple of things... Firstly, to read in data from a text source and display it accordingly, and also to use that data in a list box and compile a new list from the original one.I've got a rather vague idea on how to do the first objective to put it nicely.I've read a little about delimiters and such, but the problem is that everywhere I look for tutorials or examples, I'm not really seeing exactly what it is I'm trying to do.Here's an example of the text I'm trying to parse/read/whatever it is:|Name of thing|some data|blah|blah blah|
In this example, I use the vertical bar character (I don't know what it's called; it's Shift + for me) to separate data in a pre-defined order. Let's say I wanted to use this for car information, I guess.[code]Like that, only many more times. What I can't figure out though, is A.) how to make VB read every line within the text file and B.) how to differentiate each of those sets of data so that I can read them into labels on the form. At this point, all I do know is that that vertical bar (this thing) is what's called the delimiter. Other than that, I'm left to pulling my hair out.
I am trying to add a text file with SemiColon Delimiters to DatagridView, i did few codings but getting a error as "

I am having some trouble including tab and space delimiters in my multiple delimiter code (see code below). It seems I can not just add the <vbtab> and <vbCrLf> codes into my delimiters list so I tried to replace them beforehand with a Clean String Function (also see code below) but it didn't seem to work. Ultimately, I would like to add any delimited text file to my datagridview.
The code below is working fine except for tabs and spaces (including next-to-each-other separators) I am using Visual Basics Express 2008.[code...]
I'm currently busy coding a hangman game in VB.NET.As a wordlist, I have a textfile containing 1520 words, each one seperated by a new line. The best I could think of to get a random word is with a Randomize() function. Then getting the word from the line # which was randomly generated.
[Code]...
Is there any better way for me to extract the word from that random line? If not, what would be the delimiter I should use for this and how do I quickly change the breaklines into that new delimiter without resorting to Office?
Also, how can I use the textfieldparser to get the file from resources? When I tried using my.resources.filename instead of "filepath", it gave me an ArgumentException due to "invalid characters in the path".
I need to split a string with '+' '-' '*' '/' four symbol. Can I split it in a single command or what is the solution?
View 3 RepliesI am having trouble figuring out how to parse a string with delimiters. I have a text box which the user inputs data or what ever. I need to figure out how to parse the string and display it in a listbox, each word in a single line. Here is what I have so far, my book doesnt explain parsing very well and I'm stuck
View 2 RepliesJust what the title says. I have a listbox with varied entries, all in one format:name, email, phone, age
When an entry is selected, and when a certain button is clicked, I require the entry to be removed from the listbox and the four categories from the entry must each go into their assigned textboxes.
I have a csv file which I am populating to a datagridview. I am delimiting it using "," and "space". My csv file has "," at first instance and "space" in next two instances. I want to delimit the first instance using "," and the second instance using "space" and the third instance though has "space" I wanna ignore that space.
My CSV file :

I have a label that reads a random line from a text file and that string becomes the text for the label.
Now the problem; the label will only work if it is clicked because the event handler is click.What I need is this to work automatically at startup. In other words, it should change the label's text to the random string of the text file on startup of the application.
Here is my code.[code..]

I am working on a 1st grade math program for schools in the Dominican Republic. What I am ttrying to do is have an array of farm animals. The question on the form is "How many letters are in the word " ". The " " is a textbox. All this will start when the click on a picture of a clock. A timer will also start, but I have that part done.
View 1 RepliesWhat would I put when I want it to generate random numbers and text, and has a - at the end. I know it's pretty simple but I can't think of how I would do it.
So 5 random numbers/and or text and a - at the end. So like this
Is this function as efficient as I can make it or can it be done more efficiently? It takes a line of text and turns it into an array of values.If the value delimiter exists inside a string delimiter, that value delimiter is incorporatedinto that value. String delimiters are removed from the values, and so is any leading or trailing white space:
Public Function ParseStringDelimiters(ByVal Line As String,
ByVal ValDelimiter As Char, _
ByVal StrDelimiter As Char) As Array
