Hi,
I want to replace some words in my text files (actually transpose).
For example, I have a whole lot of expressions (words) in my files as
follows:
TABLECUSTOMERS
TABLEORDERS
TABLEORDERLINES
....
....
....
I want to replace them as follows:
CUSTOMERSTABLE
ORDERSTABLE
ORDERLINESTABLE
....
....
....
How can I do this using regular expression search and repalce?

Babu,
Use a pattern of "\bTABLE(.*?)\b ", and a replacement string of
"$1TABLE".
Here's an example in C#:
using System;
using System.Text.Reg ularExpressions ;
namespace Main
{
public class MainClass
{
[STAThread]
public static int Main()
{
string input = @"
TABLECUSTOMERS
TABLEORDERS
TABLEORDERLINES
";
Console.WriteLi ne(SwapWords(in put, "TABLE"));
return 0;
}
public static string SwapWords(
string input,
string word)
{
return Regex.Replace(i nput, "\\b" + word + "(.*?)\\b",
"$1" + word, RegexOptions.Si ngleline);
}
}
}

Hope this helps.
Chris.

Hi there,
does anyone know how I can build a regular expression e.g. for the
string.search() function on runtime, depending on the content of
variables? Should be something like this:
var strkey = "something";
var str = "Somethin like this";
if( str.search( / + strkey + / ) > -1 )

The issue at hand, I believe is my comprehension of using regular
expression, specially to assist in replacing the expression with other text.
using regular expression (\s*) my understanding is that this will one or
more occurrences to replace all the white space between with a comma.

ElseIf InStr(1, indivline, "$") Then
insert a replace statement that uses the regular expression to find and
replace all the white space...

Is there a way to search a string for a whole word w/o using a regular
expression?
i.e.
mystring.IndexOf(mypattern, *WholeWord);
The reason i rather not use a regular expression is because sometimes i
want to search for whole words w/o the regular expression special
characters being interpreted.

Hi all,
I'm using string Replace(string oldValue, string newValue) and would like it
to replace only full words that matches oldValue and not when oldValue is a
substring of a larger word.
How can it be done?
Thanks,
