View 1 RepliesI am building a search engine in vb.net which would have to search for a word entered by the user in 40 text files within the project directory. It should return the results as the total number of matches (text files) and the number of times this word is in each file.

Gen Ch9 :3 Blah Pharaoh Blah); to display inside a RTF or TextBox.
Am writing a windows app using vb.net 2005. The app captures a string variable from the user. As each file within a directory is read, I want to match the stored string within each file. If I find a match to the string, I want a list box to be populated with the name of the file. I have added Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions and tried using the match collection.
For example: My direcotry has 5 text files. I want to match a string "PARENT" in the text of all these 5 files. The list box should output the name of each file where the string was found.

I have an access database that I have imported into VB2008 through the data sources and have placed a table onto a form via drag and drop.Now whenever the form is displayed it crashes VS. I have tried deleting everything off the form, only leaving the database dataset, table binding source, table adapter and adapter manager on the form, even then it still crashes.I am running Windows 7 64bit, 2 of my peers are running Win 7 as well and are having this same issue, however the computers at our college are running Windows XP and have no problem at all with it.
View 3 RepliesI want to search a string (which contains html source of webpage)and get all text that strinh holds, like:
TC83886783380753647814458
TC27072318654272127623234
...
so, i want to find all text that is located in code between "serviceid=" and "&" (example how it would look in html source/in string: serviceid=TC27072318654272127623234&)
so the result would be only text in that format (starting with TC and 23 numbers following it)
I think i could do it by parsing a string somehow
this is my first post in this forum! I guess my question is very simple. I just started with VB.net yesterday I want to search through a text string, and then count how many times a word appears. How do i do this? Is there some sort of function that i can use together with a loop of a kind?Something like the inStr(), just something i can use with mulitble appearences!
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to integrate a parental controls feature on my webbrowser. Now, the user creates a text file containing a list of the words they don't want their child searching. Here's an example of what would happen. The list looks like this (I wont use vulgar words):
dog
cat
baby
fish
tree
and the kid tries going to "treeandbabynectar.com". I want a messagebox to come up saying "Site blocked". I want it to be able to detect the tree and baby in treeandbabynectar and realize the text file contains the word tree and baby and block the site. Is this possible? How would I do this?
I want to make a list of strings from the text of a search field. I want to make anything that is in double quotes be split out.

sample'
string's are, more_ //underscore shown to display space
text

The format I need is a group of numbers in a text file and it looks like this and it will always look like this:xxxx x xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx x xxxxxxxxxxx xxxx x
The problem is that it can be anywhere in a text file so I cannot search by a particular line.
How can I search for this type of string format in a text file?
So I am trying to create a Win App to make copying files using Robocopy easier and eventually other tasks. Basically what I have so far is a Button that calls the Sub Robcopy_EXE. There is a tab on the form with 100 check boxes, one for each terminal, that will be designated by the user and a check box to determine if you want a detailed report or not from Robocopy. I also have a text box for the user to input the first 3 octets of the site IP Address. The check boxes and Input field are used to create string "Terminal_input" which is what runs Robocopy in CMD. Robocopy logs its progress to a text file that I have labeled "Status.txt". That is as far as I have gotten.

We have an interactive windows based application written in VB .Net 2010. It uses Word Object to display documents in MS Word. We have a form with a button. When the button is clicked we open the Word document and maximize the Word Windowstate. When we have the Visual Studio Tool running, the Word Document is maximized and has focus, even if we are running the exe from the bin folder outside of the tool. However, if Visual Studio is not running and we run the exe, focus remains on the original form window and the document stays in the task bar.
View 5 Repliesis there a way to get the raw data of a word file document object?
word = new Word.Application();doc = new Word.Document();
now, I open the word file, do some replace. save the file. I could open the file as raw binary file. but I'm thinking maybe there is a property that can get the raw the data? which property?
I've been hammering at this over the weekend with no joy - been through page after page of RegEx Language documentation too.It's very easy to negate a match on characters. For example:
Dim MatchString As System.String = "<test0><test0><test1></test1></test0></test0><test0></test0>"
Dim NegationPattern As System.String = "([^<>])"
Dim RepStr As System.String = ""

I've been using text.indexof() to see if a string is located inside another string, however is it it possible to do a case sensitive/insensitive search option? I've been looking around Google and not having much luck with it.
A huge bonus would be if it could count the number of occurrences inside the string!
I'm trying to write a function to find a word in a string in the this format : "ThisissometextthatIneedtofindandthisisthetext. This is another text."It's read as " This is some text that I need to find and this is the text. This is another text." but there is no space between each word. I want to get the word "text" or any word in that string. Can you help me with this function with a code sample ?
And I think that this method can be implemented with a string of Unicode also because in a sentence of Unicode it contains one or few, sometimes zero spaces between each word.
All i want to do is write some text into word... some of the text is normal text the other is bold... how do I achieve this?The samples I have seen, they either do normal text or bold.. but in different lines utilising InsertParagraphAfter()I need to have both in the one lineie how do i do the following line? using vb.net and word automation (word 2010)

I'm working on a word processor (yes, the thread with the quit forms and the count times open is the same word processor)
It's called iRobosoft Word. The 3rd version is at sourceforge and the 4th is in RC stage.
The 4th version is quite a major upgrade, but back to the topic.For font I used:
Private Sub Rich_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Rich.TextChanged
Font1.Text = Rich.SelectionFont.ToString

I would like to read an HTML file, search each line to see if it starts with </head>. Then add the centering code after it. That line at destination file should read:
</head><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" width="760"align="center"><tr><td>
After this I don't care to search for anything. Just read from source and write to destination. I know there are programs out there to find/replace text in series of files but I am not allowed to use external programs.
When I select text with a mouse in dense text like an XML file the selection automatically extends to what it thinks is a white space (or?). How do I turn off this "word selection" and just select the characters the cursor passes over?VS2010 Beta, VB.Net
