View 3 RepliesI need to get strresult to give me a clean string with no punctuation from strinput. I wanted to store that in strresult. My main goal was to write a loop to check the textbox input - strinput for letters a-z and store them in strresult and compare the reverse of that to strinput. I can do codes like mom, and things like that and it reads them, but when i add characters like mom! and red rum, sir, is murder...I am not stripping the punctuation off correctly.

I wrote a palindrome earlier for a project which I figured out but I talked to a friend in another class and he was having issues with how to take out the punctuation. I dont think it was required on mine but I am just currious how that could be done using commands such as str.lenght, or str.trim those basic commands. Here is my last post that is related

View 4 RepliesI know Val() is a VB6 function, but one thing I like about it is that you can wrap a string in it and it will "extract" the numerical value from the string if there are other things present (i.e. Val("123 Main St.") returns 123). This is the way my teacher taught us to use it. I know about the .TryParse and .Parse methods of the different data types, and how those can be used to check for a numerical value, but is there a replacement that can strip any non-numeric value from a string to put it in an integer (or double, single, decimal, etc.)?

"Form1" has a ToolStripContainer1.TopToolStripPanel which contains a ToolStrip with buttons. The buttons work on ONE click when "Form1" is active.If I click on another window and then return to "Form1" the ToolStrip buttons take TWO clicks to activate.The first click returns focus to "Form1" and the subsequent click fires the button event.I want the buttons to work on the first click and not require two clicks.Note that ordinary buttons on "Form1" that are not part of the ToolStrip work on the first click when returning from another window/form?
View 1 RepliesI'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('"', '');
What is syntax / escape character combination for replacing double quotes with an empty string?
How to strip html code from a string? I know how to do this in Visual Basic 6 using Regular Expressions 5.5 as a reference, but since I switched to VB.NET 2008 today
View 1 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:
does anyone have any better suggestions.
I need to strip every other char from an array or string. Whichever is easier.
