I'm trying to replace a string with another but the problem is that the string is matching some other string partially.
For e.g. -
Dim x as String = "I am Soham"
x = x.Replace("am","xx")
After this replace I would only like the word am to replaced with xx but because my name also contains am its also getting replaced.
I'm currently trying to match a word in a string - to a word in an 1 dimensional arrray.
So it does this.
1.Goes into array, gets first word.
2.Looks for that word in the string.
3.If can't find it, go to next word in array.
4.And so forth until it finds it or runs out of words in array.
Problem is the string can be upto 2000 characters long. And the Array with the possible matches can have upto 8000 entries.
So when it runs, if the word begins with 'A' it finds it dead quick as the 'A's are at the top of the array, ordered alphabetically. This is great.
But if the word starts with 'Z' then it takes 4-5 seconds before finding it.
I'm basically using InStr to find the word in the string.
Problem: Your task is to take input from the user in string and give the following options to the user in a menu.
1- Find a String
2- Create sub-string
3- Erase a portion of a sting
4- Replace a word in the string
5- Count number of words and characters in the string without spaces.
6- Capitalize first character of each new sentence and convert the rest
of the characters to lower case.
7- Sort all the words in alphabetical order. (Use Bubble sort algorithm to perform sorting).
To perform all the above mentioned tasks you can only use pointers. Create a function to perform every task.
i need to replace the whole word from a string.
for example. String= "Hi VBFriends, I am learning VB 2010."
i need to replace only VB as C#.
if i put String.Replace, its changing as "Hi C#Friends,I am learning C# 2010."
i used regex, Word boundary but not worked, below my code.
Dim sHTMLStream As String = "Hi VBFriends, I am learning VB 2010."
Dim oColl As MatchCollection = Regex.Matches("sHTMLStream", "\bvb", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)
For Each sTemp As Match In oColl
MessageBox.Show(sTemp.Value)

I am trying to replace an entire word in a string.
This is my example string:
"Hello test this is testing".
I want to replace the word "test" with "abc". I want the output to be:
"Hello abc this is testing".
Whenever I try and use the Replace() function I get:
"Hello abc this is abcing"
How I can do this with Replace or RegEx

I'm using the following VB.net Code to find phone numbers in HTML and make them "clickable":
Regex.Replace(pDisp.Document.Body.innerHTML, "([0-9+ ]{3,6}[s]{1,1}[0123456789 -/]{4,15})", "<a href=http://DIAL/$1>$1</a>")
There appears an issue if the numbers contain white spaces, for example:
089 12233 455
This will be replaced with:
<a href=http://DIAL/089 12233 455>089 12233 455</a>
Is there a way to get
<a href=http://DIAL/08912233455>089 12233 455</a>
instead?
I'm wanting to search a RTB for all X coordinate values and convert them to SI mm units.
I have two issues: 1. My code is stopping after the first instance of match.success, I'm guessing i'm using nextmatch incorrectly? I have also tried matchcollections with no success.
2. I fear once we get it progressing to the next X value, any multiple X values with the same dimension will be replaced with my replace command, causing the new value to be converted again.
Dim MatchObj As Match = Regex.Match(RichTextBox1.Text, "[Xx](?<X>(d*.{1,1}d{1,4}))(s)*")

I have 2 strings:
"This is number 123456789"
"This is number 123456"
I want to match the last number "123456" and replace this. Not the first number because the length is > 6 digits. I have this regex "d{6}" but then he will match the first number also.
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is an English-language pangram, alphabet! that is, a phrase that contains all of the letters of the alphabet. It has been used to test typewriters alphabet. and computer keyboards, and in other applications involving all of the letters in the English alphabet.I need to get the "alphabet." word in regex. In the above text there are 3 instances. It should not include "alphabet!". I just tried regex with
MatchCollection match = Regex.Matches(entireText, "alphabet.");
but this returns 4 instances including "alphabet!". How to omit this and get only "alphabet."
I'm trying to match a word that's written in a combobox with one in a listviewbox. I've tried with this code, but it doesn't select the word.

There they will meet the uncle Dunley Harry." So what I want to do is to loop through the text for the word Dunley (Underlined) and replace the First name (Bolded) (Mike, Robin, & Harry) to 'family'.
View 9 RepliesThe file reads in parameters and two of the parameters used to be in Date Format YYYYMMDD but will now permanently be in format YYYY-MM-DD. This change, I believe, is stopping the import of the file from working. I would like to replace the new format YYYY-MM-DD back to YYYYMMDD in the code. If possible I'd also like to see some output so I know that the old format has been replaced with the new format. The code is below. I added the two rows with .replace code in green in expecting that to be enough but it is still not working.

I need a way to tell me if a certain word already exists in a multi-lined textbox. Right now I have a multi-lined textbox with some names inside it. After each name I add a newline so all the names are on their own line inside the textbox.I use this code to add names to the textbox, Text Box1. AppendText(ComboBox1.Text + vbCrLf)Then I have been checking if the name exists by doing it this way,[code]The problem is that Ted and Teddy return the same when searching for Ted even if Ted isnt in the textbox at all, I have googled for the last few days and even tried RegularExpressions and still the same results. I think this might be a simple true or false check but I may be wrong... or even a loop or something line by line.

I'm trying to write a function to find a word in a string in the this format : "ThisissometextthatIneedtofindandthisisthetext. This is another text."It's read as " This is some text that I need to find and this is the text. This is another text." but there is no space between each word. I want to get the word "text" or any word in that string. Can you help me with this function with a code sample ?
And I think that this method can be implemented with a string of Unicode also because in a sentence of Unicode it contains one or few, sometimes zero spaces between each word.
I am having an issue where I am using regex.Replace to replace part of a string. The basic idea is that I want to capture the beginning of the string then replace the end of the string with a value from code. For an example pretend I have a string that says "Test Number " followed by number and I want to increment that number. I capture the "Test Number " but when I try to concatenate that capture with the new number it treats the capture ($1) as a literal and replaces the entire string with $1[new number].
[code]...
This will output "We are on Test Number 2", as expected. how I can use a variable in the replacement string portion of the Regex.Replace when including a captured group?
I wana ask you if you think that's the best and the fastest way to replace <<words>> into a .doc file? I don't know other way and i think mine is too slow for doing this kind of job.[code]
View 2 RepliesLet's say I have an object that contains a Word property and a Sentence property. The sentence must use the word, and I want to replace the word in that sentence with a link using a public function (say, GetLinkedSentence). The catch is maybe the sentence uses a plural form of the word and maybe the "word" itself is actually a phrase, or is even hyphenated. There's no length limit to the word either. How do I find and replace this word (in ASP.NET, preferably VB) with a link [word])?

String1 = "dog cat bird chair book table"
String2 = "the dog chassed the cat around the chair"
No I know I can break string1 up by space character and check if each word appears in string 2, I would prefer to not have to do that.If there some sought of regex that would take a group of words and retrun how many of them matched ?
