Use Escape Character In Replace Function When Replacing Semi-colon In VB?
Jun 7, 2009
earlier with my program question and found out that """" is how you make " become another variable in the function:Robert = Replace(Robert.ToLower, """", "A")So now I am also trying to work with other keys like the semi-colon. I put it in the function like this:Robert = Replace(Robert.ToLower, "char(59)", "B")I also tried to insert ; in place of char(59) with in front of it as an escape key, none of this worked. It still just gives me a ; when I type

If I needed to escape a double quote character within a string literal I'd use two consecutive double quotes as follows:
Dim name = "Chuck ""Iceman"" Liddell"
However, it doesn't seem like consecutive # works the same way. The compiler is expecting a compiler directive to follow the # character, even when its enclosed in double quotes. How can tell the compiler that I want a # character in my string?
EDIT: as a few of the answers below point out, # is not a reserved character. I closed my solution in Visual Studio and re-opened it and no longer got the compiler squiggles warning me.

I am working on a sub that essentially needs to open a text file, and replace all instances of a certain character with a unicode character. I'm trying to do this by reading the original text file byte by byte, converting it to a character, and then either adding that character to a memory stream or writing the unicode character to the memory stream. Then I'm saving the memory stream to the original file.

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.

I have an issue, i have a program im working on, that i have been working on and im trying to replace a whole block of text. I do it in one spot in my code and it works great, but in a different part of my code, even though im using the same exact logic and pretty much the same code (other than slight variable changes) it will not work, and i have no idea why, it just like ignores it. I took some screenshots:If you look hard the only difference is the "S12000" (top pic) is changed to "S6000" (bottom pic). The pic shows this part about 3/4 of the way thru it.

I am trying to do this but it doesn't work:
VB
Dim str As String = "07" & GetBetween("Stephen 0761234567", "07", vbNewLine)Dim op As String = "lol" TextBox1.Text.Replace(str, op)
GetBetween is just a function to match something between something else. That works fine, the string (str) sets as 0761234567 just like I want but when i try to replace the text it doesn't work.

c# - Why does element.getAttribute("style") ignore everything after the colon ":" character? Returning part of the value only. Basically, I have my DOM objects set up and am calling the .getAttribute method on an IMG element that is defined as below: [Code] I get the following returned: "WIDTH" only, ie: part including and after the : character is ignored. To add to this, if I do a hElement.getAttribute("width") on the IMG element, it returns the actual width as "134" even though I don't explicitely have a width="..." attribute defined. So, basically, I am asking, how can I ensure I get back things as they are written, and not as they are reconstructed and stored by IE, as that is what it seems to be doing with the inferred WIDTH attribute. Also, not sure why it is ignoring everything including and after the : character right next to the WIDTH - how can I make this work properly? Odd thing is, if I do the following, it shows everything as it should be: hElement.outerHTML.
The style attribute's value is shown as defined above. If I have to parse .outerHTML in order to get correct readings, that is just going to be depressing - I'm really disappointed in MS's half baked efforts. If you're looking for something extra to read, feel free to refer to another issue I noted about attributes returning odd behaviour when using capitals and when not (solved through a hack).
I'm using VB6, but it is all just the same, mshtml.dll, I gather, I am using IHTMLElement to define the hElement, not sure if I should be using something else but I think IHTMLElement is good for IE6+...?

I've got a string like so
Jamie(123)
And I'm trying to just show Jamie without the brackets etc
All the names are different lengths so I was wondering if there was a simple way of replacing everything from the first bracket onwards?
Some others are displayed like this
Tom(Test(123))
Jack ((4u72))
I've got a simple replace of the bracket at the moment like this
mystring.Replace("(", "").Replace(")","")

What i am trying to do is take a character (which is going to be into a variable by user input) and search a string for this character, and save the positions of all character found and then change the same position of these characters in another string for the character that the user inputs. In other words, like a guess a word game. User tryes a guess, i search the string for that letter or number, if it's there replace it on the text box of the GUi, if not save it in another variable as a character that has been tried already, possibly an array.
