Is there a way to search for a string pattern in a string ?
i have 1000 of strings and example of one is - 'won 2 races in town, 1998, and then moved to'i wish to search for the ", ####," as all the strings are in the same format (note that the year is different every time hence why not using the instr)
I'm creating a search function to search through a binary file and find a record based on the users input. Surprisingly, that isn't the problem! The problem I'm having is that as part of this I'm using a procedure to display results in text boxes, and I'm getting the error "Too many arguments to private sub display customer"I've encountered this error before, but never really knew what it was... Here is my code.
Private Sub btnSearch_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSearch.Click
FilenameCust = "F:\College\CustomersFile.bin"

I have some .doc binary files stored in my database and i would like to now search them all (without converting them to .doc) to see which one contains the word "hello" for instance.
Is there any way to do this search in the binary file?
I'm using vb10.
Is it possible when drawing a line to use a binary pattern? Is there a command for this?
Example:
167 is 1010 0111
Draw a line X32 x Y1 would be: 10100111101001111010011110100111
205 is 1100 1101
Draw a line X32 x Y1 would be : 11001101110011011100110111001101
1's being pixels drawn and 0's not.

Write name in that chain, the length of the name varies but is always between a length of 22.

I'm wounder if it's possible to save both string and images to the same binary file? I know that you can save them independently with one file for strings and one for images. But i would like to save both in to the same file.
If it's not possible with binary files, when what's my options?
I want to read a string into a binary file. This string is repeated every certain length ... example:

What are the setps for convert since a String to a File?
someone told me i need convert it to array byte, but i dont know how to convert a String to a array byte... what are the best steps?
this code return me a table

Return conn.RegresarTabla("select archivo from catalogo where id= (select id from periodos where actual=1)")
End Function

now what are the next setp for convert it finally to a file? ( it is a *.jar)
I have a binary file. If I look at it with a hex editor, the first values are:208, 207, 17, 224, 161, 177, 26, 225, 0, 0, 0, ... etc.It has a length of 330240 bytes I have tried to open it and read it into a string so I can manipulate it and write it back. No matter what I use, I either don't get the correct number of bytes or the values in the string are incorrect. The most common error results in the first values being: 63, 63, 17, 63, 63, 26, 0, 0, 0 .... etc.It is interesting that it appears that any value > 63 becomes 63.
I get the 2nd values by a simple loop:
For lnx = 0 To 99
Debug.Write(Asc(line.Substring(lnx, 1)))
Next
I have tried a whole number of ways to read in the file, including filestream, My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText, File.io.readAllLines, etc.All either give me a string length of about 324000 (not sure why) or, if they do, don't have the correct values. Yes, I have tried various encoding options.
I need to find a string (sort of like: "D" & Chr(0) + "L" & Chr(0) + "S" & Chr(0)... ) so I can then replace that portion of the string with a new value, then write out the file.I use the ".indexOf" to find the data in the string.Why can't I load the file into a string? Or, do you know of an easy way to find some text (similar to above) in a file and then replace the next x number of bytes with a new value and close the file?
How could i read a string into a binary file Encoding.UTF8.(the string has a length of 25 bytes)
Using fs As New FileStream (OpenFileDialog1.FileName, FileMode.Open)
fs.Position = 2096

Binary Search in ListBox
View 4 RepliesI am trying to write a program which performs a binary search. The user will input the name of a state in a textbox.I have a listbox which is populated with the 50 states in ABC order.The middle of the list must be determined and then determine which half of the list the state may be located. If the middle item is less than the state name the state should be in the second half of the list. If it's greater than the state name is should be in the first half of the list. The calculation for looking at the middle itemi the list is:
middle = CInt(first + last)/2)
There is a variable 'flag' which is initially set to false and then will be set to true if the state name is found. The variable first is initially set to 0 and last needs to be set to one less than the number of items in the list.Below is a very rough program fragment.
Code:
Private Sub btnSearch_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSearch.Click
Dim i As Integer
Dim flag As Boolean = False
Dim first As Double = 0

I need to compare two tree-structured reports and show comparison results in a datagridview in vb.net. I think using tree structure should be efficient. But note that I DO NOT use a tree view to display results (I found a lot of help in tree view though). All I want to do is to construct two trees, and then search the trees and compare. I do not know how to write this in vb.net.
View 1 RepliesIm currently using the streamreader/writer method for writing to a text file im considering implementing a binary search to increase the efficiency of searching through records.
Qus: Does binary search require the text file to be a binary file?Do I need to do binary reader/writer instead of streamreader/writer And are there any tutorials regarding binary operations in vb 2010 this is my first attempt at coding binary operations and have no idea where to start
We need to show the value entered and the number that it is compared to in the textbox and concatenated to the binary array. This is the code that I have so far:
Public Class Tester
Shared array1 As Integer() = New Integer(14) {}
Dim count As Integer
Public Sub Main()
Dim i As Integer

I have a delete method for a binary search tree. It only deletes the last two entered values. When trying to delete the root or anything to left of it it returns a null pointer exception.

parent = current If (key < current.value) Then isLeftChild = True current = current.rightNode Else

Anyone knows where I can download binary search tree for VB.Net ? I'm working on a small project for my company and I'm thinking of using BST as a sorting tool.I used to do BST using C++ and I was using linked list. I'm not sure if that can be done in VB.Net but is there any other ways? any input and comments are welcome.

I just can't get my head around how you would go about doing it. I know that the words must be first sorted into alphabetical order. Here is the code for selection sort with numbers:

Dim count As Integer

How would you apply that to an array of strings?
