Hello
I load a text file into a string. Then I start seraching for a substring that appears many time in the file. Once I find an occurrence of the substirng I have to find the first accurance of " before it (there has to be one). Then I copy the substring starting with the first " until the index of the substring's occurrence
I find the occurrence of the substring without any problems, and in most cases, I find the first " without any problem either. But there are some places (always the same) where once I find the occurrence of the substring and try to find the first ", it finds something completely different. I know it will sound crazy, but for some reason the search for " jumps to another part of the file for no apparent reason
I've tried to debug and access each index and at a certain index it just jumps to another location in the file
I tried to find " using String.LastInde xOf, I tried manually and I tried using StringBuilder
I also tried to view the file of a hex editor to see if there are any strange characters in it that will cause it to jump to another location in the file, but found nothing..
I also checked, and the string I get as a result of the search doesn't appear anywhere in the file
Is it a bug or am I missing something here
Thanks!

Sounds like it could well be an encoding problem, to be honest. What
encoding is the file in, and how are you reading it? If you dump the
string into a textbox, does everything look okay?
If that doesn't help, please try to come up with a short but complete
example which demonstrates the problem.

I found the problem. I was reading the file using a stream, and I read it into a buffer incorrectly, so I must have had illegal characters in the string while I was trying to read it
Thanks for the help!

I've got to believe this is a fairly common / classic problem, and I think
I've even read an example somewhere in my education thus far, but I sure
can't remember it.
Suppose I want to store a list of first and last names read from a file. I
think somewhere I need an ArrayList. So I have a class that stores a
private ArrayList.
I want this class to be able to return the first name, the last name, or a
"calculated" FullName... but I...

I'm totally new to programming and I am wondering; when would be a good time
to use an array or an indexer? I want to know what types of applications
would make good use of arrays or indexers. There seems to be other ways of

The books I read don't provide good examples of situations when I would need
an array or indexer. I don't really need a definition of them as I already
have that. I...

Hi,
I have created an Arraylist object from an Arraylist class.
I added rows to the arraylist object and I need to find a particular record
in my arraylist. How do I do this? Also if I was in the middle of building
the arraylist and wanted to call the last record added to arraylist object
how can I do this?
Thanks,

In a posting earlier this year I found a simple approach to convert a string
to a particular Enum value. The one line solution looked like this:
MyEnum ConvertedString = (MyEnum) Enum.Parse(typeof(MyEnum), MyString, true);
This is fine if one wants to hardcode each and every Enum in an If-ElseIf or
Select-Case construct but I'm wondering if there's a way to do it generically?
I have a situation where I'm using reflection to set a...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
