I have a notify icon and I use the 'Text' property instead of 'BallonTipText' because I just like it better and it fits well with my application. The only thing wrong with that is the 64 character limit. How can I determine the length of a string, remove all characters after the 61st character, then add three periods at the end of the new string? I've looked around and can't find any solution to removing all characters after the first X characters.
I'm having issues with finding something in list, and removing the item, ignoring the case of characters in string.
The code goes: Dim listItems As New List(Of String) Dim pattern As String = "AbC" Dim array() As String array = {"ABC", "abc"} listItems.AddRange(array)
Here I'd like to remove all items from listItems, that are abc, no matter what case single characters of item are, including mixed case items. So in this example, every items should be removed listItems.Remove(listItems.Find(Function(r) r = pattern))
If I change pattern to match the case of item, then item #2 gets removed: pattern = "abc" listItems.Remove(listItems.Find(Function(r) r = pattern)) How can I find item in listItems, ignoring the case characters in pattern?
I need to be able to strip the following prefixes from product codes as you see I have included a simple query while yes the below shows me the cm im not wanting i cant use replace as it code replace any instance of cm the prefixes are held in the supplire table cross refer with the products table
prefixes are not always two chrachters for example can be TOW
SELECT * , left(prod.productcode, LEN(sup.prefix)) AS MyTrimmedColumn FROM MSLStore1_Products prod ,supplier sup WHERE prod.suppid = 9039 AND prod.SgpID = 171
For each character of this string I want a new character out of the string and then remove the character from the list of characters that still maybe used for other characters. It may not get the same character, you could basically just call this encryption, but it's not what I am making. I don't want to waste my time doing this one hour while VB can do this for me in <1 second.
I have a string of characters, but I would like to have a string of hexdecimal characters where the hexadecimal characters are converted by turning the original characters into integers and then those integers into hexadecimal characters. How do I do that?
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!
The last charaters can range from 1 to 100 This is the code that i am using to remove unwanted characters which is working how i want it to do but when i pass each file to OrigName to get the original name i am getting the above and i can not see where the '_1' are getting added. I don't want to mess too much with it incase it stops working the way i need it too. The lines in bold are the ones that write the results to a .tmp text, see below.
My user can export a ".doc" file but when VB.NET writes to this file it uses "" and "," characters at the end of each sentence. I was wondering if there was a way of actually appending the exported file to remove these characters?
So I've got a list of strings in ListBox1 and I want to remove the last seven characters from each string in the list and write the output to an excel file...

I have a csv file and it has some special characters that blocking to insert data into a SQL server. How I can remove the characters before it dumps data into SQL.
I am retrieving string values from a table and then encode each term to make a httpwebrequest to an api. It works fine and the terms allow for foreign characters like japanese/arabic/chinese etc and these are inserted fine. The problem occurs when some of these terms contain weird characters and that is when the request is bad. The only reason it is bad xml and the template I follow gets invalid are when these characters are present. I use the
system.securityelement.escape And also httputility.htmlencode As part of my cleanup. One of the weird characters ends up appearing as a space but it is not since the trim(term) does not work and when I look at the xml in visual studio it looks like an ' &' with arrow pointing up attached to it. It does not appear after I pasted it here.It appears as a line feed or carriage return and I have tried to remove that too. Anyway is there some way I can ensure that these sort of characters are removed and if I were to use the binary values like <32 invalid, will foreign characters then get excluded.
I'm currently stuck on something I need to have done for my application. I have a listbox where I have a lot of urls in the following format: [URL] With the quotes on it. Now I want only these links to remain in the listbox and to remove the quotes and rl around it. I tried using regex but it didn't worked out for me.

I made a batch script using VB.NET which deletes shortcut on my desktop. The problem is that shortcut title contains unicode characters so batch doesn't work. However if I remove that unicode character from the shortcut and batch script it does delete the shortcut. How can I make it delete the shortcut w/o removing that unicode character?
bytes ( 00 00 00 ) I'm trying to remove from a specific set of locations within a byte stream. The following code is what I'm using. I tried using the Trim function as listed in the code at the bottom but that had no effect. I'm extracting from a fixed byte range and there are null values after the end of valid ascii characters. Dim temp() As Byte = GetByteArray(FrameData, 3, 32)
Private Function GetByteArray(ByVal MyArray As System.Array, ByVal Start As Integer, ByVal Length As Integer) As Byte()
I have to process a string that could include all sorts of non-standard characters and I've been asked to provide a regular expression that will match and remove all characters that are non-alphanumeric except punctuation and spaces. Is there a way to do this?
