I have to scan through documents. Excell, Word, txt, ect looking for company names that match a pre-difined list of companies.I then email the companies some specifics in regards to that doc.The problem I have been having recently is that the list of companies keeps growing and I am starting to miss some more than I used to.What I would like to build is a tiny app that has 2 Text boxes.1 on the left for input (where I would copy/paste) the document text I receive.and one on the right for the output where it will highlight any line that contains the name of any of the pre-defined companies.
I started toying with the idea and so far I have form with a SplitContainer. Within that SplitContainer each side has a TextBox... Below the Textbox on the left hand side splitcontainer I have a submit button with no actions currently assigned to it.
I can't figure out the syntax for searching an array of stored words for a string matching an input string. I understand the pseudocode of it, but I'm tripping up over what variables I need to put where, and how they should be formatted. More than happy to provide more details should anyone request them.

1 within each section of a SplitContainer. The left hand side will be for inputing text that is copied/pasted from a word, excell, or text file.The right hand side would be for my output. What I would like it to do is return just the rows from the left hand side that contain a match to any one of the predifined strings. This will be used to search large lists of company names and circuit IDs and return the rows with matching namesSo far I have the form created, the Splitcontainer in place along with the richtextbox on each side and a submit button at the bottom.
View 12 RepliesI have a textbox for searching a database. When the text changes it runs a functioncFilter() and loads the records. It is set up to search different columns of a database, and it unfortunately only the first record matching is pulled from the database. Example: when the database contains two people (Bob Smith & Bob Smitt) the user can type the name in the search field. However When the user types Bob Smit it only returns Bob Smith and not both names in the database. I want this to act as a filter, dynamically changing the last with each additional letter typed in the search box. Below is my source code,
Public Sub cFilter()
Dim myConnectionstring As String = ("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & My.Settings.dbLocation & ";Persist Security Info=True;Jet OLEDB:Database Password=BCFAdmin")

I am to make a program that lets the user save certain data values with a delimiter(":") to a text file(done) Example of data entries [code]Then i am to load those values to a listbox , i was able to do that as well and i include the delimiter when i load the values.Now i am supposed to let the user enter any month/year value for date(mm/yyyy) such as 06/2010 and if any of the entries match the search string then either the program selects those values in the listbox or a popup msgbox is used to show the entries. How the result is displayed is a little irrelevant, but how do i search and atleast select the matching entries in the listbox ? and not just the first instance but all instances of the search string.
View 3 RepliesI have a list of names of players and their names in some game. Now an administrator of that game might want to contact one of the players by sending him a message. He does that by writing a command that basically has the format "tell <player> <message>", where <player> is the name of the player.The problem is simple: player names might be quite complicated and long (it's their screen name not their real name), and it would take the admin quite some time to find out how to spell the name exactly and he will probably make a few mistakes. Basically, having the admin type out the exact name is not practical.So I am trying to implement a 'fuzzy logic' search (is that even the correct term?) but with a twist, I guess.The idea is that the admin can type just part of the name and is even allowed to make a couple mistakes. For example, suppose a player has a screen name of "Mr.Smith34", then the admin should be able to type, for example.[code]
The problem now is that there can be absolutely no ambiguity in which player is meant. Instead of sending a message (which is quite harmless) the admin should also be able to 'kick' or ban someone from a game server, banning them from ever playing there again. Obviously, the admin should then not accidently ban a player named "Mrs.Smith" when he meant "Mr.Smith"! My solution (unless someone else can come up with something better) is to just not allow the command if there are multiple matches. If the admin searches for 'smith' and there are multiple names that are similar to 'smith' (maybe even 'sith' or similar) then I disregard that search and tell the admin he needs to try again with a more specific name.(If all else fails he can always look up the ID of the player and use that, which should be foolproof as long as the admin doesn't make a mistake and picks the wrong ID..., but that is even more work it does not have preference).But this brings further problems. The example I just gave might be good: suppose there's a player "Mr.Smith" and a player "Sith". If the admin searches for 'Smith' then there should be no question who he meant (Mr.Smith), but I am sure any fuzzy logic implementation would count Sith as a very close match... Another thing is that my solution of only allowing the search if there is just a single match probably wouldn't work. I have never used fuzzy logic searching before, but I can imagine some names being marked as 'slightly similar' even when they are completely different ('smi' might match 'smith', but also 'ims' perhaps, in which case it would possibly match a whole new range of names), even though 'for humans' it is clear which result is meant.
I am assuming any fuzzy search would return the matches and rate them according to how similar they are to the search term. Perhaps I can choose some kind of cut-off value, where any matches that are less than 30% similar (I've no idea just guessing here) are assumed not equal whereas higher ranked matches are assumed a possible match. Perhaps this makes it easier (perhaps harder, I dunno), but I forgot to mention that the search term cannot contain any spaces. Player screen names can contain spaces though. I am thinking to just strip out the spaces of each name before starting the search, but perhaps there are better solutions in combination with fuzzy searching...
I am trying to search for a particular string on a *.txt file, while i can do this i want to be able to do it without having to type the exact string.
For example:
if i search "string" i find "string" but not "String" the big letter wrecks the search... anyone knows how to do a search like this?
And i want also to give me an incremental search while i am typing on a list box.
For example:
if i type "s" it appears, sangoku,slb, siemens,sentence,...., string,...
on the listbox. These are words that exist on the *.txt file i am reading.
if i type "st" it appears only string and any other word that starts with "st"
it would be an automatic search without having to press enter, or any search button. Just by pressing the keyboard on the letter we wanted the search would be made.
I'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.

I am developing an application that will run with a GUI when no commandline args are passed, but can also run invisibly if started from the commandline and passed necessary arguments. I have been asked to include a /version argument that will return a version number. For simplicity this version number can be stored in a variable. Without doing something like writing the version number out to a file, what is the best way for me to return this info to the caller? My app will almost always be started from a script, so the script will have to read the version number and make decisons based on the version.
