Find A String And Replace It More Efficiently
Jul 3, 2010
Situation: I have a html file and I need to remove certain sections. For Example: The file contains html:
<div style="padding:10px;">First Name:</div><div style="padding:10px; background-color: gray">random information here</div><div style="padding:10px;">First Name:</div><div style="padding:10px; background-color: gray">random information here</div>
I need to remove all text that starts with "<div style="padding:10px; background-color: gray">" and ends with "</div>" so that the result would be:
<div style="padding:10px;">First Name:</div><div style="padding:10px;">First Name:</div>
I created 2 functions that do this, but I do not this it efficient at all. I have a 40mb file and it takes the program about 2 hours to complete. Is there a more efficient way to do this? Is there a way to use regex? See my code below:.....................

i'm trying to find all the anchor tags and appending the href value with a variable.
for example
<a href="/page.aspx">link</a> will become <a href="/page.aspx?id=2">
<A hRef='http://www.google.com'><img src='pic.jpg'></a> will become <A hRef='http://www.google.com?id=2'><img src='pic.jpg'></a>
I'm able to match all the anchor tags and href values using regex, then i manually replace the values using string.replace, however i dont think its the efficient way to do this.Is there a solution where i can use something like regex.replace(html,newurlvalue)

I have a css file which I want to read from disk and in that content I want to find and replace all linebreaks (do I look for vbCrlf or ...?)
Public Shared Function GetFileContents(ByVal FullFilename As String) As String
Dim filecontents As String = ""
If File.Exists(FullFilename) Then
Dim objStreamReader As StreamReader
objStreamReader = File.OpenText(FullFilename)
filecontents = objStreamReader.ReadToEnd()
objStreamReader.Close()
End If
Return filecontents
End Function
So in the returned variable "filecontents" I want to find and replace any linebreaks.
FILE: style.css
#progress{color:#000;width:500px;height:30px;padding:0px;clear:both;}
#progress ul{list-style:none;padding:0px;margin: auto;display:block;}
#progress ul li{list-style:none;display:inline;float:left;width:auto;height:30px;padding:0px;line-height:30px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:13px;}

After the replace the strValue should be :

I have a string with special characters insert in different places. For example:
string myString = "This is a textbox: ##";
I would like to replace the ## with a control (namely, a textbox).
The Replace method only allows the string to be replaced with another string or character (understandably). But what would be the best way to dynamically replace the ## with a control in its position?
I was thinking maybe I could replace it with HTML markup which would be executed, but not quite sure how that would be achieved.
EDIT: To clarify some details. The strings are being retrieved from a database, so I can't use the PlaceHolder control. The user selects a string from a drop-down list. The value of the item is the string with special characters. When the postback occurs from the item selection, I would like to display the string on the site, but replace the special characters with a fully working control (in this case, a textbox)

emailBody.Replace("[CONFIRMATION_LINK]", confirmLink);
emailer.sendEmail(emailAddress, Master.noReplyEmail, emailSubj, emailBody);
It all seems to work fine, except the body is still showing up with [CONFIRMATION_LINK] in the text,

but i want to replace "@" & "." The above method replaces just one char.
one more case is what if i have XX.X@YYY.ZZZ...
i still want the output to look like XX.X_YYY_ZZZ

I am getting taggings like the following in a string
<color> vocation </color>
<color> elation </color>
<color> sage </color>
you can notice that each tagging differs only in the wordings
vocation
elation
sage
But i want to write a code some thing like this
Regex.Replace(userAx, "<color> vocation </color>",
"<color> </color>"
so that the resulting output does not contain words at the centre.In the above code instead of giving the word vocation exclusively, i have to mention some pattern, so that it will replace all the words instead of doing it for first sentence only.How to modify my code?

I am using a chat script I found for free online.
It allows a profanity filter by using string replace:
ex: ChatText.Replace("hell", "!@#$")
is there a way to do a wildcard replace? It doesn't catch the word "HELL" or "Hell" for example.

txtPhoneWork.Text.Replace("-","");
txtPhoneWork.Text.Replace("_", "");
txtMobile.Text.Replace("-", "");
txtMobile.Text.Replace("_", "");
txtPhoneOther.Text.Replace("-", "");
txtPhoneOther.Text.Replace("_", "");
location.ContactWork = txtPhoneWork.Text.Trim();
location.ContactMobile = txtMobile.Text.Trim();
location.ContactOther = txtPhoneOther.Text.Trim();
but it is not replacing and is there any method so that both - and _ can be replaced in single function.

Let's take this string has an example:
D:/firstdir/Another One/and 2/bla bla bla/media/reports/Darth_Vader_Report.pdf
I want to cut the first part of the path:
D:/firstdir/Another One/and 2/bla bla bla
And replace it with **../**, and keep the second part of the path (media/reports/Darth_Vader_Report.pdf)
If I knew the length or size of it, I could use the Replace or Substring. But since the first part of the string is dynamic, how can I do this?
Update
After StriplingWarrior question, I realized that I could have explained better.
The objective is to replace everything behind /media. The "media" directory is static, and will always be the decisive part of the path.

//value is x#firstName
stFormattedColumnName.Replace('#',
