Strip Any Non-numeric Value From A String?
Oct 24, 2007
I know Val() is a VB6 function, but one thing I like about it is that you can wrap a string in it and it will "extract" the numerical value from the string if there are other things present (i.e. Val("123 Main St.") returns 123). This is the way my teacher taught us to use it. I know about the .TryParse and .Parse methods of the different data types, and how those can be used to check for a numerical value, but is there a replacement that can strip any non-numeric value from a string to put it in an integer (or double, single, decimal, etc.)?

"Form1" has a ToolStripContainer1.TopToolStripPanel which contains a ToolStrip with buttons. The buttons work on ONE click when "Form1" is active.If I click on another window and then return to "Form1" the ToolStrip buttons take TWO clicks to activate.The first click returns focus to "Form1" and the subsequent click fires the button event.I want the buttons to work on the first click and not require two clicks.Note that ordinary buttons on "Form1" that are not part of the ToolStrip work on the first click when returning from another window/form?

I'm trying to match on some inconsistently formatted HTML and need to strip out some double quotes.
Current:
<input type="hidden">
The Goal:
<input type=hidden>
This is wrong because I'm not escaping it properly:
s = s.Replace(""","");
This is wrong because there is not blank character character (to my knowledge):
s = s.Replace('"', '');
What is syntax / escape character combination for replacing double quotes with an empty string?

I am trying to strip the first 75 characters from various strings (sentences / phrases) and it seems right but I need to ensure that the now words are truncated in the process. Meaning that if the 75 character is part of a word it needs to fall back to the beginning of the word or nearest space..
I thought of stripping the entire string into separate words and then counting the length of combining the words and stopping when I reach the target but what do I do in the case when it is not a valid sentence just a bunch of characters jammed together. I thought of using grammar parsing tool libraries and parsing into tokens etc but that seems to over complicated.
if text.length() > 75 then
ctext = text.remove(text.length, 75) & "..."
endif
I put elipses at the end but using the above I also get the error:
does anyone have any better suggestions.

Here is what I have so far:
If htext.Length() > 75 Then
Dim regex2 As Regex = New Regex("^.{0,75}", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)
Dim m2 As Match = regex2.Match(htext)

is there a way to check if a string contains characters other than numeric? ive used isnumeric quite a bit and its pretty usefull, but cant find a way to check for text in a string. Having searched around theres a few ways of doing it slowly that ive found using an array of letters and a loop / instring, but thats much more hassle than checking for numbers, so strikes me there must be a way.

I used a regular expression, which handles both numbers and letters in strings of arbitrary length, in one line of code.
dim rtn as String = Regex.Replace(input, "..", "$& ")
I'd like to take numeric strings of arbitrary length and insert a space every 2 characters.
So 1233456 becomes 12 33 45 6. Is there a way I can use format as string or IFormatProvider, like? That would put a limit on how long the string could be though, right? Since I'm casting to a long.
CLng((input)).ToString("## ")
I'd like to take strings of arbitrary length and insert a space every 2 characters.
123dssas4rr should become 12 3d ss as 4r r

I'm using Entity Framework code first and pulling some data back from our database. In the table I'm accessing is 13 columns that store the number of a items a customer purchased per week for the last 13 weeks as a char field. I have no control over how this data is stored. I need to total the 13 weeks results together to get a combined total, so take week1 + week2 + week3.... = Total Items Purchased over 13 weeks.In SQL I'd just Cast the char to an Integer and add the values together. But I'm struggling finding a solution to do this in linq.
I tried
(From c in Table
Select New With {.Usage = (Convert.ToInt32(c.week1) +

I have an application where the user and search the database and return the values from it. They can also figure the Average, Median, and the Standard Deviation from it. BUt I have a problem with this since the business rules won't allow the result column to be anything but a string so now I am getting error messages on the Select commnad text since it is trying to perform the calculations. I am wondering if there is a way to convert the values in the command text to a numeric value then perform the calculation. Here is the code I am using at the moment.

is there any function to validate if a string has only numerical characters? I can cross character for character and verify if it is a number. But I look for something simpler or if already a function like that exists.
I cannot use IsNumeric or IsDigit because it returns numbers to True with point or comma.
I need only numeric characters (no comma nor points
