I have a text.
Inside the text
the "hallo" word occurs five time.
I need to replace "hallo" with "hallo world".
Unfortunately I get this:
hallo world world world world world
Obviously I only need:
hallo world
How can avoid this?
------
Here the simple Replace method code
I'm currently using:
Dim myText as String = "Hallo to everyone; I'd like to say hallo
because saying hallo is a good thing; you also should
say hallo. Hallo guy."
Dim m As Match = Nothing
m = Regex.Match(myT ext, "hallo",
RegexOptions.Mu ltiline Or RegexOptions.Ig noreCase)
Do While m.Success
myText = Replace(myText, m.Value, m.Value & " world")
m = m.NextMatch
Loop 3 1491

Hi Teo,
Is this what you want as a result? "hallo world hallo world hallo
world hallo world hallo world"
If so, here's a function from my personal library which will do that.
Note that it's freshly converted from VB6, so it doesn't take advantage
of any new language features and is going to be slow and inefficient
with large strings:
Function SReplace(ByVal X As String, ByVal Y As String, ByVal z As
String) As String
' Replaces every occurence of substring Y in string X with Z.
' Avoids recursive replaces.
Dim l1 As Long, l2 As Long, l3 As Long
l2 = Len(Y)
l3 = 1
Do
l1 = InStr(l3, X, Y) : If l1 = 0 Then Exit Do
X = Left$(X, l1 - 1) & z & Mid$(X, l1 + l2)
l3 = l1 + Len(z)
Loop
SReplace = X
End Function

You could always just do -
myText = Strings.Replace (myText, "hallo", "hallo world", , ,
CompareMethod.T ext)
OR - if you need to retain case -
myText = Strings.Replace (myText, "hallo", "hallo world")
myText = Strings.Replace (myText, "Hallo", "Hallo world")

Heh, much nicer. Shows how much I still have to learn about VB.NET -

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me how I can use the replace method to replace
a character if it occures in more than one textbox without having to
write separate function for each textbox.
The code below is the basic way to use the replace method but it only
allows for one textbox.
I'm sure I need a loop in there but I'm not sure how to use that

I have the following to replace newline chars with <br> in a string:

How can I change this so that it replaces only if there is not already a

Thanks for any advice!

What's the most efficient way to replace characters in an XML document before
it is loaded into a parser? Chars I'd want to replace are in attributes and
there can be N attributes, also let's assume that I'm not familiar w/ the
structure of the XML so that I'll have to read/replace/load via stream.
Is this possible
OpenStream->Replace char(s)->To XML parser ? If so then how?

I need an elegant way to remove any characters in a string if they are
not in an allowed char list. The part cleaning files of the
non-allowed characters will run as a service, so no forms here.
The list also needs to be editable by the end-user so I'll be
providing a form on which they can edit the allowed character list.
The end-user is non-technical so asking them to type a regular
expression is out.

I have a string with an unwanted unicode character. It looks like an
'A' with a tilde on top. I looked up a unicode chart on the internet
and the chart says that its represented by Â
So I think that means that the unicode number in base 10 is 194.
So I want to do a String.Replace(mystr,194,''c)
But how do I convert the 194 into a Char, and how do I replace that by
blanks.
Thanks,
Marvin

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
