Scan Text For A Certain Word/phrase?
Dec 14, 2010
I am trying to make a program which goes through the HTML code of a page and then searches for a certain phrase. I have gotten up to the point of executing a search on a site and then dumping the html code of the body.How would I go about doing this?
The phrase I'm looking for is "<tr><td><a
href=javascript:d(87178)>Name of File</a></td><td>Date Submitted</td><td>Likelyness
to work(%)</td></tr>
All I would need to do is find the number inside of the parenthesis (87178) in this example and I THINK I'm good to roll, so how would I do that?

Here's what I have so far:
Dim mystring As String = Me.txtenter.Text
Dim chars As Char() = mystring.ToCharArray()
Dim newString As System.Text.StringBuilder = New System.Text.StringBuilder()

I'm working on a problem where i have to allow a user to input a word or phrase and then determine if it is a palindrome (a words that reads the same forwards and backwards) . It also says that the program should use a Boolean-valued function procedure named IsPalindrome that returns the value True when the word or phrase is a palindrome and the value False otherwise.

I'm trying to find a way to have text that would be "Live" as in if a user types an incorrect phrase/letter in a text box, a message will appear prior to a "save" button being pressed. It's pretty much the same as when you're registering on these forums, it checks the availabilty of the username as you type it.

I ran into this assignment that asks me to "create an application that allows the user to enter a word or phrse, then the Label should display that word or phrase backwards in all lowercase. For example, I enter "I read" Then the label should display "daer I" I try to do this with "Substring, Replace, etc", butnone of them work. Is there any particular method to achieve this assignment?

Alright. I have a project I need to complete by 11:00 am today. I need a program that will allow a user to input a phrase into a text box. Another text box to input a letter. Then I need the program to count how many times, the letter appears in the phrase. I have everything set up. I know how to count how many characters are in the string, but not how many designated letters there is.

I'm trying to identify if the input of a textbox is non numerical, which cannot be converted to an integer/double for calculation. I do this by converting the input1.text to ascii, and looking at the value to determine the type of input. My question is whether there is any way I can analyze the whole input character by character? Asc() only gives the ascii value of the first character, but what if the input is "9W" etc? Such inputs will pass my character test, but cannot be converted to an integer.

I'm presented with a puzzle. Where I work there are a huge amount of Word templates which all contains an autonew eventhandle which contains some errors. And this error lies within all templates. And I was wondering if there might be a way of scanning a directory for templates which contains this macro and change the macro code slightly?

I can search for the word Love in an .rtf file and return every occurance of the word into a RichTextBox. It returns the word and the scripture the word is in, but it also isreturning a bunch of weird text like: archan78988yykp etc etc. How do I onlyreturn the scripture with the searchedword, in this case the searched word is love. The code I am using is as follows:
<
If Line.Contains(Me.rtbSearch.Text) Then
'show search form

what would be the optimum code in VB2010 that check a file to determine:
1) is it a text file, and
2) if it is a text file, does it contain any non-ASCII characters
Note that LF, CR, and EOF would be expected, and should not be flagged. I can think of 3 - 4 ways to do it, but there may be a 'best' way in terms of simplicity and speed.

The following code allows words to be added to a listbox. Add the word to a text file and create a folder with the word as its name. The second part undoes the actions.If I try to delete the word immediately after adding it one of two things happen.
1.An error is reported stating the path cannot be found. Although the listbox index value is correct according to the code the error is pointing at that index +1.
2.The code continues to the point of requesting conformation to delete the folder, still pointing at the index value +1. I the action is confirmed the wrong folder is deleted.
However if I stop debugging, then run the code again all works correctly.Is it likely to persist when the application is compiled?

I have a label that is supposed to display a word for 5 seconds and then move down the list in a text file and display the next word.I'm oddly able to make it work in random mode, but not going down the list in order.. random would be ok if used words didn't come up again.
Code:
Dim DurHold As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(Application.StartupPath & "FlashWords.txt")
Dim DurDelimiters() As String = {vbNewLine}
Dim DurTextLines() As String = DurHold.Split(DurDelimiters, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)

I wanted to make a simple program for people to create passwords out of phrases. A phrase can be a quote, or something that is easy for you to remember. An example would be: "I visit the MSDN often". The passphrase from that would be: "IvtMo".Notice the case is retained. The phrase is just the first character of every word. The button click function is to convert the phrase into passphrase.The capital() function is change random characters in the passphrase to uppercase. This works by using the Dim x As
String = Int(TextBox2.Text.Length * Rnd())
which allows "x" to be equal to the length of the passphrase text times a random.
Controls: Button named Button1 CheckBox named CheckBox1 TextBox named TextBox1 TextBox named TextBox2
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If TextBox1.Text <> String.Empty Then[code].....

In VB.Net, is it possible to highlight ALL instances of a phrase instead of only a single instance of it, for example: txtView.SelectionStart = txtView.Find("ERROR: Invalid command entered.") txtView.SelectionColor = Color.Red This would highlight "ERROR: Invalid command entered.", however if my RichTextBox text is: ERROR: Invalid command entered. < Only this line will highlight ERROR: Invalid command entered. ERROR: Invalid command entered. Alternatively, is there a way I can simply colour the line when I write it to the RichTextBox?

line.I have seen some tutorials that retrieve left, middle, right that gets maybe the last two
letters in the string etc but I need it to get the Name without the colon.
