View 3 RepliesI 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.
Dim phoneNumber As String = "077 47578 587(num)"How do i strip the above string off every character which isnt a number. So only the numbers are left and then check to make sure it is 11 characters long?
View 4 RepliesI 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?
View 1 RepliesI'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?

Basically what I'm trying to achieve is to extract all the words within a piece of string and transfer that from one text box to another text box.
An example piece of the string would be
<laugh:894u8438:4434:words>
However the words within the string will never remain constant and the characters before and after will change. Is there anything that will read the string and take a word from the string without it being pre-programmed. The string it is reading from is uploaded from a text file.
