i have two strings from xml file
str1 = 800.7415_801.10 1_8.115_216.12
str2 = 800.7415_801.10 1_8.115_216.12_ 217.570
the first stream represent a xml file 800.7415_801.10 1_8.115_261.12. xml
which hold some value that can only be look up after i compare both string
so i can find where to look up the value of object type 217 and the instance
number 570
if i use string.compare i get -1 which mean str2 is greater than str1...but
i have no idea on what to do next. how do i compare both string and base on
the difference to get the 217 and 570

Hi,
Just wondering if str2 will always contain str1? If this is the case
then you can do the following:
dim tempString() as string
'Check if str1 is part of str2, if yes, instr returns a positive
value
If InStr(str2, str1) > 0 Then
'str1 is part of str2, we will use the mid and split
methods to extract then
'needed characters.
'In your senario the mid method will return "217.570"
'After using the split method, you will have tempString(0)
= "217" and
' tempString(1) = "570"
tempString = Split(Mid(str2, Len(str1) + 1), ".")
End If
I hope that help you,
Cheers,
Ahmed

Hello dotnetnoob,
Well, I would start by removing the parts that are the same...
Dim tStringOne As String = 800.7415_801.10 1_8.115_216.12
Dim tStringTwo as String = 800.7415_801.10 1_8.115_216.12_ 217.570
Dim tResult As String = tStringTwo.Repl ace(tStringOne, String.Empty).T rim
This will make tResult = "_217.570". .. You should be able to take it from
there.

hi, thank you both. it seem like it is what i need.
str1 basically represent a xml file name and str2 hold where the file is and
the object type and instance number of this object.

How does Ruby compare to Python?? How good is DESIGN of Ruby compared to Python?
Python's design is godly. I'm wondering if Ruby's is godly too.
I've heard it has solid OOP design but then I've also heard there are
lots of weird ways to do some things kinda like Perl which is bad for me.
Any other ideas?

Hi there,
I am trying to compare two strings and get the differenc
in vbscript.
Example: Str1="This is a test text"
Str2="This is a fine test text but a little long"
I like to compare str1 with str2 and get the difference.
Above example the difference will be "fine" and "but a
little long"
How do I do that? A sample code would be apprciable.

I've got different result when comparing two strings
using "==" and string.Compare().
The two strings seems to have same value "1202002" in
the quick watch, and both have the same length 7 which I
have tried to print out by debug.writeline().
But the "==" operator results false, and string.Compare()
results true.
Somebody helps me!

Hi !!
i want to compare two strings and return the difference
For example, i have two strings,
string str1="then";
string str2="than";
it compared the two strings and returns 1, as only one character is
different (a and e).
Is there a function in c# that can do this??
