Sort Files With Format"file-04-04-2012.txt" In An Array?
Apr 4, 2012
I'm getting a list of files from a directory into an array, i.e.,
fileEntries.
The files names are all in this format: "xxx-04-03-2012.txt"
"xxx-09-24-2012.txt"
"xxx-12-25-2013.txt"
etc.
The parts after "xxx" are dates.
I'm trying to find the most recent/up-to-date one from these and do something to it. so I suppose I'll need to sort all these files in the array. I've been looking at the String class on msdn, not much progress..little bit overwhelmed.

Sub Sort()
ReDim RollsCC(NumOfPlayers - 1)
For N As Integer = 0 To (NumOfPlayers - 1)[code]....
Here I am creating a temp single dimensional array, merging my 2d array into it, and then attempting to sort it by Rolls(N,1), which is a integer 1-6, Everything seems to be working right with the exception of this.
RollsCC.Sort(RollsCC, 0, 1)
How would one specify a numeral sort based on the first character in the string? im aware that I am switching Rolls(n,1) and Rolls(n,0) information during the sort.

I am using the Array type .Sort function to sort my array.By default it places the result Array into Ascending order Least to Greatest How do I change that to Descending order Greatest to Least?and How do I change it to Closest to logic? or does that not exist?Assume there is an Array of Numbers 0,13,21,-2,4,5,1.34 and I want them to sort closest to 0 or some other arbitray value; the Output should look similar to:
0,1.34,-2,4,5,13,21

I'm trying to sort an array based on a structure but whenever I do this, it basically erases all the data in the entire array.I have verified that the array is populated correctly, it is when using array.sort that everything returns blank.

I'm using the following code to read in a highscores file with the score written first and the player's name written to the next line, and then display the top 3 scores or fewer if there aren't 3 scores written to the file. A highscores display should have the scores sorted with the highest first so that's what this program tries to implement.
Array.sort() isn't doing a damn thing. In fact, the program's not even reversing the arrays like it should either. I've tested array.sort() this way with the names and scores arrays given explicitly and it works fine. I thought maybe it was still reading the data as string even though it's declared otherwise but it rounds off decimals when I change the array type to Integer so I'm pretty sure it's not that.
I have no idea why reading the data in from a file changes how it's sorted. My teacher didn't understand what was going on either. Does anyone know what's going on here?

I need to sort an array containing a list of words and search the same using binarysearch. For certain reasons, the word-list must always be sorted using the sorting-rules of "en-US" i.e. American Regional Settings. The code will run under various international Operating Systems and of course this will mean that the word-list will be sorted differently according to the local Regional Settings in use. One problem could arise on a computer/device running with Lithuanian Regional Settings. Why? Because the letter "Y" in most languages is sorted like X-Y-Z while in Lithuanian, the sort order is I-Y-J. This behavior would create havoc to my program.
[Code]...
However, in means of flexibility I believe Guffa's answer is the best one. Why? Let's use another example:In German, the letter Ö is sorted Ö-X-Z while in Swedish and Finnish, the order is X-Z-Ö. In Estonian the sort order is Z-Ö-X. Complicated, isn't it? Guffa's solution will let me force Swedish sorting-oder (changing CultureInfo) on a device running under German Regional settings. Using Comparer.DefaultInvariant with its association to English wouldn't help in this case, probably the letter Ö would end up with O. Therefore my vote will go to Guffa.

Debug start debugging works properly.

Basically i want to know if the visual studio IDE and/or compiler in 2010 and 2012 was written to make use of a multi core environment (i understand we can target multi core environments in all versions using parallelism, but that is not my question).I am trying to decide on if i should get a higher clock dual core or a lower clock quad core, as i want to try and figure out which processor will give me the absolute best possible experience with Visual Studio 2010 or 2012 (v11) (ide and background compiler).
If they are running the most important section (background compiler and other ide tasks) in one core, then the core will get cut off quicker if running a quad core, especially if background compiler is the heaviest task, i would imagine this would be difficult to separate in more than one process, so even if it uses multi cores you might still be better off with going for a higher clock CPU if the majority of the processing is still bound to occur in one core (i.e. the most significant part of the VS environment).

strtest() = objFile.ReadToEnd.Trim.Replace(vbCr, "").Split(vbLf).Distinct.ToArray
I created this command from a few examples which reads the text from a StreamReader, Trims, splits on EoL, and returns a unique list. My next command is a sort. I couldnt figure out how to add a sort to this command. Its really not that important but I was curious if there�s an easy way.
Additionally if there's a better way to take a text file into an array or collection I'm all ears.

vb.net 2005.
I have profitMarginArray(29,3) <29 is actually a variable, but figured I'd put in a number for the example> and what I need is to retreive elements 0 and 3 sorted on 3 in some way shape or form. The biggest problem is element 3 isn't unique so there could be 5 that have the same value (56.34 for instance) so a sorted list is out.
The current array could look something like
Item1, .34, .75, 54.67
Item2, .32, .75, 57.33
Item3, .29, .5, 42

I need to capture the last 5 lines from my "write to log" function so I can add it to a debug email. I can't think of an easy way to do this.
I did think I could have an array with 5 items in it, but I'd still need to shuffle the existing items to add the current data.

Dim array1(9,2) as String
So basically, 10 rows and 3 columns and say I want to sort them by the values in the 3rd column.
Each row is essentially a record of data and must be kept together.
Now I know that you can't use the array.sort method but would I have to use a bubble sort or something for this?
What's a good way to manipulate the records while still keeping each row linked together somehow.

I have a semicolon delimited string (e.g. an EMail Address List returned from a database or a textbox). How do I separate the string into an array, sort, and remove duplicates? The code below works to separate the string and sort the results, but doesn't remove the duplicates. I could probably then loop through the array and copy to a new array to eliminate the duplicates, but there must be a better way to do this using the VB.Net Array, String, and Collections handling classes.

I have an array of strings such as "blue", "green", "red" and I wish to sort them so the longest string comes first and the shortest last.
Currently I am creating another array with the lengths of each string in the array in the same index positions and using this array as the key array to sort by as can be seen below, but I think this could be optimised into one line perhaps?
Dim colours() As string = {"blue", "green", "red"}
Dim colourslength() As Integer
For i As Integer = 0 To colours.Length - 1
[Code].....
Edit: just realised I defined colours as a list in the example code, it's an array in my actual code.

I'm using Visual Studio .Net 2008 on Vista. The goal of my program is to watch a directory, get file information, then sort them by thier date, and produce a updated text file. I can't seem to get my code to generate a list of files sorted by date. The code does produce a general list of files, however presently ordered in the directory. I also tried an alternate way of sorting the files by date by creating a string, removing the date using substring, then comparing the file dates using datetime.parse but it produces a exception error.[code]...
