I want to be able to read in/assign a string but not have any of its characters within delimit anything....For example, how the ' "" ' is used to represent one ' " '
View 1 RepliesI would like to take any input string and delimit it into groups. each group may be at least one character and no more than 4 characters. How do I loop to create all possible combinations?[code]...

View 3 RepliesI need to create a console program that allows you to enter a string, of which is then outputted in reverse.
Sample:
Input: Diewas
Output: saweiD
Apparently I need to find out about strings and will also need to use a loop.
Not sure if too many people know this, but the following line will cause an error:
GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_"
....if the length of GroupName is less than 3 characters. I always thought it would simply return whatever characters in GroupName, but no, it errors. I must be thinking of the old VB6 days.So, I now have to change the code to:
If (GroupName.Length > 2) Then
If (GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_") Then
Note that the two comparisons need to be on separate lines. If they are on the same line, such as:
If (GroupName.Length > 2) and (GroupName.Substring(0, 3) = "jt_") Then then the code will still fail as the length command is executed at the same time as the substring command- which will cause the error when the GroupName length is less than 3.Just thought that those of us not aware of this should be!

I have 12 textboxes named TextBox1 to TextBox12. How can I loop through these textboxes to assign and read the values? I.e.:

I have a binary file with lines like that
2011021007001 �00000009177855400213156412300210000000000010000EC
I don't know how I can read the first 13 characters in a variable like in C ( with char[13] ). My idea is to read the first 13 characters, skip the next 5 characters for change with 5 '-', and next read the rest of the line. I need to read as Binary because it have some special characters.
Consider following code:
Dim S1 As String = "a"
'this is the string in a file
Dim StringFromFile As String = "S1=hello"
[code]....
how to assign value to S1?I have declared a string named S1. Now I want to assign new value to S1. The new string value is stored in a file using following format: [variable name][= as separator][string value]. How do I assign the value to S1 after retrieving the string variable name and value that stored in a file?
NOTE:
temp(0) = "S1"
temp(1) = "hello"
It should be noted that the string with the data comes from a file that may change from time to time! When the file changes, I want the variables to change as well.
Further clarification I need a piece of code that when processing a string like this "S1=hello", the code will first find a declared variable (i.e. S1), and then assign the S1 variable with "hello" string. The "=" just acted as separator for variable name and variable value.
UPDATE:
My attempt to use Mathias Lykkegaard Lorenzen's EDIT 2 example but failed with "NullReferenceException" on this line "Field.SetValue(Me, VariableValue)". Please help me fix the problem. Following is my code based on Mathias Lykkegaard Lorenzen's EDIT 2 example:

Dim S1 As String = "a"
Dim StringFromFile As String = "S1=hello"

View 1 RepliesI have written a program that uses an array of the english alphabet and Morse code. I also built a form with a input box for the alphabetic information and an output box with the Morse Code. What i am trying to do is basically type a word like "Hi" in the input box and produce the Morse Code equivalent in the Morse Code output box. [Code] This works but only one letter at a time. Do i need to Parse the string of characters one at a time, and then run it through a loop like i have created?

I am trying to make a program in Visual Basic 2010 that should do the following:
-Open file as binary
-Start with position 57 and read the following characters until a 0 is found, print the whole name
Inside the binary file, all the files' names end with 0 (which should not be printed), example:
B000000.dat0
eft.dat0
G000000000.b70
For the above examples, the names that should be printed are B000000.dat, eft.dat, G000000000.b7 respectively. The code I wrote is below. The problem is that i am not sure how to read the name until the 0 is found since the names are variable in length and so are the extensions(dat, b7). Also some names have 0 in them which makes things difficult.
Using gs As New FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open)
gs.Position = 57
Using gr As New BinaryReader(gs)
For x As Int16 = 57 To 70
Dim textvar(x) As String
textvar(x) = gr.ReadChar
text3 = textvar(x) & (gr.ReadChar)
Next
End Using

To automate mailmerge function in word, i need to join different elements to complete the mailmergedatasource. In one of these file are words with special characters like ©, §,¨, .... When openng these files for reading, streamreader transfoms the characters to unreadable signs. When i give a type to use to open like ASCII, Unicode,it works for one or tho characters but not for all. I have the same problem when the character is read correctly, with streamwriter output to a textfile. Word cannot read the textfile and ask to define which type of coding should be used. In most of the cases not all the characters can be converted to readable characters.
View 8 RepliesI would like to read a text file into an array of strings using System.IO.File.ReadAllLines. However, ReadAllLines strips out some odd characters in the file that I would like to keep, such as chr(187). I've tried some different encoding options, but that doesn't help and I don't see an option for "no encoding."
I can use FileOpen and LineInput to read the file without modification, but this is quite a bit slower. Using FileSystemObject also works properly, but I would rather not use that.
What is the best way to read a text file into an array of strings without modification in .net?
In my EF4 EntityModel I have an entity named Users. Users have the common UserName and Password string fields. If I do something like this
Dim u as new USERS
U.UserName = String.Empty
Then U.UserName are still Nothing.
But if I Do Something like this
Dim u as new USERS
u.UserName = "A"
u.UserName = String.Empty
Then U.UserName take String.Empty as value without problem.
The reason is the way that EF4 generate the UserName Property
Public Property UserName() As Global.System.String
Get
Return _UserName
End Get

I do not want to make two assignations every time I want to set string.empty to a property with a nothing value, and I do not want to remember that I must do it in this way everytime, because I'm pretty sure that I will forget it and then I will introduce bugs in the code. I just want to assign the empty.string value to a property and the property take "" as value.
Any way to attempt to assign a variable within a data class or structure when I have the variable name as a string. Where would this be useful? Let's say I have a data class that exactly mirrors the columns of a table in a SQL database. This lets programmers easily interact with table row data as it gets passed around as an actual, specific object since Intellisense can enumerate the variables for them, etc.
However, populating such an object is tedious and repetitive--the programmer who creates the new object has to one by one match up all the members when reading from the SQL data adapter. It would be nice if they could somehow enumerate all the variables in that class and attempt to auto-assign the values from the database instead of having to build a custom population method for each new data class. A person could create a hash table or tree or something that pairs member names with actual objects.
I'm setting up a simple helper class to hold some data from a file I'm parsing. The names of the properties match the names of values that I expect to find in the file. I'd like to add a method called AddPropertyValue to my class so that I can assign a value to a property without explicitly calling it by name.The method would look like this:
//C#
public void AddPropertyValue(string propertyName, string propertyValue) {
//code to assign the property value based on propertyName
}
'VB.NET'
[Code]...
Is this possible without having to test for each individual property name against the supplied propertyName?

I have a property called ReplacementTo and I set a value to it based on the selecteditem from the combobox, like this:
classEquipmentItem.ReplacementTo = cmbReplcmnt.SelectedItem.ToString
Now I can't use cmbReplcmnt.Text because what I actually need is the value of that SelectedItem
So problem is, if the user leaves the combobox as blank, it throws a null exception.I decided to use the IIf function then:classEquipmentItem.ReplacementTo = IIf(IsNothing(cmbReplcmnt.SelectedItem.ToString), classEquipmentItem.ReplacementTo = "", cmbReplcmnt.SelectedItem.ToString)
Unfortunately I still get the error I tried using a Try-Catch for it and it worked, but I don't want to rely on the Try-Catch, so I was wondering is there a another way to work this through?
