Converting A Database Field (long Varchar) With No Length To String?

Jun 26, 2009

I'm pulling records from a db table (sybase) where I have run into a problem with a long varchar field. Using the OLEdb class I convert the field into a string variable which works fine in most cases, but there are problem with a few records. Examining the field in the database it shows that the value is not null, but the length of the field is 0.(SELECT field, length(field) FROM table). When I try to convert this into a string the result is rubbish.strContent = objReader.Item(i). I can't figure out what's the problem here, so I have avoided the issue by doing a table update before I start the process of getting data (I set the field value to null if field.length = 0

In .NET String.Format Is Accepting Objects Of A Type That Don't Match The Format String

Jul 7, 2011

I have a function that is getting passed a String and a DataRow.The String is a custom formatter. The idea is to do this

String.Format(passed_in_String, DataRow("ColumnINeed"))

The reason this is being done is at this point we have no idea what the column contains.However, if the formatter is "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}" and the DataRow("ColumnINeed") is an integer containing 42, String.Format is returning: MM/dd/yyyy In this situation I need it to throw an exception instead of returning nonsense.Is there anyway to make String.Format throw an exception if the object does not match what the format string is expecting?

Match A Word In A String?

Apr 18, 2011

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.

Compare Letters Of A String To See If They Match

May 18, 2012

I am making a question and answer game, and I would like to be able to give the user some slack in the answers if they were to misspell a word by a letter or two, like if the answers was Jumps and they type Jump if you did a comparison of them like If string1 = sring2 then do whatever, but obliviously those to string dont match, so it would return false, even though it is the right answer, I came up with this routine to compare two words and if the percentage of the letters are higher then 82 % right it will give you credit for your answer.

Javascript - Getting The Closest String Match

May 2, 2011

I need a way to compare multiple strings to a test string and return the string that closely resembles it:

TEST STRING: THE BROWN FOX JUMPED OVER THE RED COW
CHOICE A : THE RED COW JUMPED OVER THE GREEN CHICKEN
CHOICE B : THE RED COW JUMPED OVER THE RED COW
CHOICE C : THE RED FOX JUMPED OVER THE BROWN COW

(If I did this correctly) The closest string to the "TEST STRING" should be "CHOICE C". What is the easiest way to do this?

I plan on implementing this into multiple languages including VB.net, Lua, and JavaScript. At this point, pseudo code is acceptable.

String Match Whole Word And Replace?

Sep 30, 2011

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. -

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.
