Been digging around on the net, but struggling to find a decent example. Essentially, I want to take a string, and take the Left most character, (the first character of the string) and change it to upper case.
Back in VB6 days, it was Left(somestring, 1) to equal some variable, then convert it to Uppercase.
say if I have a string 010451-09F2
How to I get left of - from the above string in vb.net
I want 010451
The left function doesn't allow me to specify separator character.
[Code]...
For each character of this string I want a new character out of the string and then remove the character from the list of characters that still maybe used for other characters. It may not get the same character, you could basically just call this encryption, but it's not what I am making. I don't want to waste my time doing this one hour while VB can do this for me in <1 second.
I am writing a hangman type game and I am displaying the word to the user in a label as all *'s, but I cannot figure out how to have just one of the *'s changed in the label to the correct letter when the user inputs the correct letter into the text box and clicks the check letter button.Everything else in the program works perfectly, except for this part.[code]When I use the .Replace it changes all of the *'s to the correct selected letter.

View 2 RepliesI've been working with the substring command and after coding up all the things I needed it to do, I saw a post on here where the "For Each" statement was used basically to do the same thing.Lets say we just want to take a string apart one character at a time and add each character to a label. Which would be more efficient?I made a cheap example to show ...
Code:
ABinary = "0110 1100 0001 1011"
For x = 0 To Len(ABinary) - 1

I need to convert a string array into a very long string with following requirement:
can not using any character escaping can not using XML can not using single character as separator (e.g. comma or space as separator)
Since the string class does not have a Left method, how would you do this in VB.Net. I could use String.SubString(0, x), but the problem with this method is that it throws an exception if the String is not at least x characters long. Should I use the Microsoft.VisualBasic.Left function instead?
View 6 RepliesI am trying to do string manipulation of an OpenID in my codebehind. For example, if the user enters " url...I want to do the following:
1. Remove the http:// or https:// if it exists
2. Remove the "/" at the end of the OpenID if it exists
So that all would be returned is url...I have used the Right, Mid and Left functions before with a string that contained spaces but I'm not sure how to accomplish what I'm trying to do here.
As a non .net programmer I'm looking for the .net equivalent of the old vb function left(string, length). It was lazy in that it worked for any length string. As expected, left("foobar", 3) = "foo" while, most helpfully, left("f", 3) = "f".
In .net string.Substring(index, length) throws exceptions for everything out of range. In Java I always had the Apache-Commons lang.StringUtils handy. In Google I don't get very far searching for string functions.
Edit:@Noldorin - My first encounter, although it took me several seconds to do the same in c#:
[Code]...
Note the static class and method as well as the this keyword. Yes, they are as simple to invoke as "foobar".Left(3). See also c# extensions on msdn.
Does VB have an equivalent to the @ symbol in C# to quickly and efficiently escape a SQL command line string?

View 14 RepliesFor years I never had trouble with this String. Format function until today when I got a value longer than 0 characters and the function returned all the characters in the string instead of just ten. Now sometimes I get less than ten characters so I can't use the substring with out getting an error. I can try the left function but I was hoping there was a solution with the Format function.

I got a panel that i am adding labels to. I have autoscroll enabled on it so when they fill the viewable space it scrolls. but i need to put the labels to the left unviewable space(when left scroll is already at 0) The label is placed but i dont get the scroll bars and i cant force it to scroll to a - value.
Is this even possible? Same thing with UP.
Or is the Scroll only limited to Bottom and Right?
