I wanted to use HttpGet here so that the result can be cached.
I tried every variation of calling this, but no luck. Is this possible with GET?
I want the Function to accept List(Of String), Array & String and similarly return List(Of String), Array & String respectively. The Function simply adds a string (month) to the input collection. I just want to use it for string, array and list with needing to think of conversions.

I am struggling to extract a 'matched' string and wonder if I am missing something simple.Let's say my code finds a string 'abcdefgh -john. smith 1234567 a123-a-123-f the last search, abc, 123 ;'I am searching this string for the pattern '[a-z]###-[a-z]-###-*'I know this text appears in the string as 'a123-a-123-f'I would like to be able to return the matched string value 'a123-a-123-f' to a variable.If I place a wildcard * in front of the pattern, it will find the text, but obviously everything else in front of it, is there a way that somebody can think of to strip the variable without using the preceding wildcard?I am not worried about the wildcard on the end of the string as I can strip back to the last space.[code]
View 3 RepliesI need a regular expression that I can use in VBScript and .NET that will return only the numbers that are found in a string.
For Example any of the following "strings" should return only 1231231234
123 123 1234
(123) 123-1234
123-123-1234

I have a class in this class i call a function which should return some string the class connects to an ftp server and list the directory and returns the filenames of the dir.
Code:
Public Function GetFileList(ByVal host As String, ByVal username As String, ByVal password As String, ByVal currentdirectory As String) As List(Of String)
Dim oFTP As FtpWebRequest = CType(FtpWebRequest.Create(host & currentdirectory),
[CODE]..........
So this should return all filenames of that directory
like:
Data1.xml
Data2.xml
Data3.xml
Now i have a form with a listview where i want to call this function and get the files of the "olist"
Code:
Return oList
HOW CAN I DO THAT? i mean how would my sub look like on my form where i want to call that function?

With that said, shall the Private Property Attributes() As String() not return the values of DirectoryAttribute placed over the interfaces properties as well, since I specify True in the inheritance parameter of the Type.GetCustomAttributes method?
I have an third part dll that have a function that returns a string.When I call the function I got for example "123456" back. At least it seams like that, but when i do mystring.length it does not return any length. If I set the text property of a label it shows "123456".
When I have the string I got from the dll I send it to a webservice function:
rem call dll and get string
dim mystring as string=mydll.getstring()
rem Send it to the webservice
webservice.SaveString(mystring)
The webservice crashes with an webexeption ("protocoll error") when I send in the string I got from the dll. If I instead send it like this:
rem call dll and get string
dim mystring as string=mydll.getstring()
rem Send it to the webservice
dim FixedString as string = mid(mystring,1,6)
webservice.SaveString(mystring)
Then it works and everything is fine. That leads me to think that the string I got from the DLL is in someway not terminated correct.And I dont know how to fix it from vb.net (I cant change the DLL)and I dont know in beforehand how long the string will be.The dll does only work on site when specific hardware is connected so I can't sit at the office trying to fix this in dev-environment. So I would like to have some possibly solutions to this before I go to the customer again.
Edit 1:I tried to just do a loop that looped from 1 to 100 (because I dont know the real length) and tried to copy all characters that <>"" to a new variable but it didnt work. I didnt try other variants because the day was over and I had to leave the customer site.
Edit 2:The DLL Im talking to is made in VB6. That DLL is talking to other DLLs that is made in C++ (I think).
My program < - > vb6-DLL <-> c++-DLL <-> hardware
I 'm new to programming and to vb. So my question could be from misconception about what can i do. How can i pass a string to a "procedure" and get in return a object whith the same name as the string?
View 8 RepliesI have a string (bufferedstring) which contains:
blah blah blah Version V3.5/7(030114) blah blah blah blah
I'd like to parse out the Version V3.5/7(030114) part using a Regex or Substring, but not sure how. The surrounding text could be dynamic in length and the 6 numbers between the parenthesis could be a different length as well (maybe 4).
how would I get just that string out?

View 3 RepliesI'm sure but can't see the answer. Currently going through a string "DO While Not ts_IN.AtEndOfStream" looking for information. This includes then checking another string (while inside the first) for matching reference point for further data.
So within the first loop, I have a second loop "Do While Not ts_IN2.AtEndOfStream". And looping through that string searching for the reference point.
This works initially, but after awhile don't find anything because it is not going back to the start of ts_IN2 string each time loops on the first section.

View 1 RepliesPublic Function Foo() as String() Dim bar As String = {"bar1","bar2","bar3"}
Return bar End Function
My situation is similar to the code sample above where I'm returning a string array from a function.
What I would like to do is just return the string array without having to declare a variable first and then return the variable.Something like this, although this obviously doesn't work:
Return {"bar1","bar2","bar3"}
Is it possible to do this, I can't seem to find a method that works?

View 4 RepliesI have the code below (found on forums) that should read the string "34,56,23,74,69" starting from the first address of another process till the end. However when I start the project I receive this error :"PInvoke restriction: cannot return variants." With Search Engine for example, the string is found, displayed and changed without any problems. Right now I have a subroutine that searches the string but only if I put the right memory address, and unfortunately the address changes almost every day.
