Replace Words In A Sentence?
May 14, 2012
I am trying to replace words in a sentence.
Code:
Public Function convert(ByVal sentence As String) As String
Dim conv As String = sentence
conv = Replace(conv, "I am ", "you are")
conv = Replace(conv, "I'm", "you are")
[code]....
This works to some degree but a word like "Mommy" becomes "Momyour". Or "mean" becomes "youan" How can I do this with full words only? I've tried putting spaces before and after within the quotes, but then any of the words that need changed at the beginning of a paragraph, don't change because there is no space at the beginning.

how can I extract a certain words from a sentence input by user. For example, when a user enters "Jones born in 1965", the program will extract the words 'Jones, born, 1965' while eliminating the word 'in'.

I want to extract certain words from a sentence input by the user. For e.g., the user enters "Jones born in 1967" and the program will extract the words 'Jones, born and 1967' but will not extract the word 'in' and will print the extracted words out.

I'm using VB.NET (visual studio) to create a chatbox (a program that mimics a human and has a text converstion with you). Two of my main classes are a word class and a sentence class. The sentence object is basically going to be a linked list of words objects. As the program executes, many word objects will be instantiated, and so will many sentence objects. But, each class (used to create the object) has several constants, procedures, and functions defined.
For each object instantiated, are new copies of the constants, procedures, and functions created in memory? Or, is only one copy of the constants and procedures created? Since many many objects will be created during program execution (each word of a sentence will be an object), that if the constants/procedures/functions are defined in memory again and again, that I'll run out of memory. What is the best way to structure my program so that the objects created contain only the variable data, and the constants/procedures/functions are defined only once?

I'm trying to create a program that produces random sentences as output. With five arrays of strings, one each for nouns, adjectives, verbs, prepositions, and articles. Each array should hold several words for that part of speech. Like, the Articles array could hold the strings "the" and "a"; the Nouns array could hold "Martian", "baby", "skunk","computer" and "mosquito"; the Prepositions array could hold "around", "through", "under", "over", and "by"; and so on.
It's supposed to generate sentences by randomly choosing eight words (randomly generating eight array indices) from these arrays, always constructing sentences by using the parts of speech in the following order: article, adjective, noun, verb, preposition, article, adjective, noun. Also, the code should be properly modularized so that the code to generate each part of speech is not repeated.

How would you replace a certain word from input to output? Like, if you type "Tigers are cool" in a text box I want the ouput after a button click to be "Lions are cool", changing 'tiger' to 'lion'. It should also be case sensitive so Tiger would convert to Lion, not lion.

I have been given a task to replace text within an existing PDF file. I played around with iTextSharp and is halfway.
I did come accross an excellent sample on the CodeBank by stanav, which I have been using.
Now, I know that you cannot replace the existing text on the file, because a PDF document is not a Word document as such. So my way of thinking is to draw a block around the existing text, and resave the file.
I need to find the precise x & y location of the text, and then I could draw the block(s) over it - that way, blanking the words out.
This is my

"test, and test but not testing. But yes to test".Replace("test", "text")return this:"text, and text but not testing. But yes to text"Basically I want to replace whole words, but not partial matches.NOTE: I am going to have to use VB for this (SSRS 2008 code), but C# is my normal language, so responses in either are fine.

I have a Visual Basic Program that I am trying to create for a college course. I have a few problems at this point.When the text from the string is added to the word box on the right, when it reads the text file it puts the last word of each sentence and the first word in the next sentence together and creates one word.I don't understand how in the loop i can keep track of instances of words and count them in array.Then display the words in the word box on the right with a - and then number of instances found.

other than GML (Yoyogames.com Game Maker Language), I am new to the coding world. The only "major" project I have completed using VB is a computer calculator that exactly mimics the capabilities of Windows 7's calculator. Yesterday, I began a Chatbot program for my girlfriend. Lol. I have used the instr() function to answer most of the questions or answers which are typed into the textbox1. I find this extremely troublesome because when using the instr() function you cannot say instr(textbox1.

The file reads in parameters and two of the parameters used to be in Date Format YYYYMMDD but will now permanently be in format YYYY-MM-DD. This change, I believe, is stopping the import of the file from working. I would like to replace the new format YYYY-MM-DD back to YYYYMMDD in the code. If possible I'd also like to see some output so I know that the old format has been replaced with the new format. The code is below. I added the two rows with .replace code in green in expecting that to be enough but it is still not working.

I have a bunch of object variables which are all initialised in their declarations such that:
Private _myObject As New ThisObject("SomeString")
where ThisObject is one of a number of object types, but all are initialised using a string.
I would like to use the Visual Studio Find/Replace dialog box to search for "As New" then replace everything from "As New" to the first set of speech marks with some text such that:
EDIT
My original example could be solved using other methods. This example is more representative of the actual problem:
Private _myObjectA As New ThisObjectA("SomeString")
Private _myObjectLongName As New ThisObjectLongName("SomeString")

I am trying to think of a regex replace to replace double quotes with nothing. Example:
hello("hi there") would become hello(hi there)
"hi" would become hi
"example "3" would become example "3
-edit Maybe an easier way to explain this is, replace all " that do not have a backslash before them.
