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.
I have an application that uses EntityDataSource in many places. In the EDS, I manually build the Where clause based on user input from TextBox'es.
I would like the user to be able to enter "*" (asterisks) instead of "%" when querying data.
Is there an easy as using Entity SQL or the EDS itself to do a search/replace? I know I could actually change the TextBox after the data is entered, but when the user sees his text was changed from an * to a % I don't think he will understand.
I have tried using the T-SQL Replace command and doing something like this:
<asp:EntityDataSource ID="EDSParts" runat="server"
ConnectionString="name=TTEntities" DefaultContainerName="TTEntities"
EnableFlattening="False" EntitySetName="Parts"[code]....
But I get a "Server tag is not well formed" message. I can't find an equivalent "replace" function in the Entity SQL reference....
I need to replace <span> entries in a string to legacy html code because it's going to be used in a report for Crystal Reports. <b> works with Crystal, but the<span>'s do not.

<b>%THIS CAN BE ANY TEXT%</b>.

I have a string variable contain text that I would like to search for "Keyword" and replace it with new value.
For example:
Dim strValue = " col1 = "John" and col4 = "smith" or col7 <> "closed" or col9 > 1 and col5 = "passed" "
After the replace the strValue should be :
strValue = " col1 = "John" and ( col4 = "smith" or col7 <> "closed" or col9 > 1 ) and col5 = "passed" "
i have a string and want to remove text up to the last forward slash, e.g
/images/UserThumbnails/22.jpg
Should now be
22.jpg
How do i go about doing this?
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)
// Build email link
confirmLink = Master.siteDomain + "/newsLetter.aspx?action=confirm&e=" + emailAddress + "&code=" + verCode;
using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT newRegEmailBody, newRegEmailSubj FROM tblSiteSettings WHERE (isActive = 1)", Master.cn))
{
SqlDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
if (rdr.Read())
{
emailBody = rdr[0].ToString();
emailSubj = rdr[1].ToString();
}
rdr.Close();
}
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,
how to change
XXX@YYY.ZZZ into XXX_YYY_ZZZ
One way i know is to use the string.replace(char, char) method,
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?
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.

View 2 RepliesSituation: 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:.....................
((string)dt.Rows[i][1]).Replace("'", "\'")
I want the result that if any string have quote it change it into slash quote, e.g. John's -> John's
but the above replace function is not working fine. it results like John\'s
but if we change the code to
((string)dt.Rows[i][1]).Replace("'", "'")

I have an image control with the following string
[URL]
I want to replace string cleartext=imagePath.Replace("","/"); but the backslash causes a problem -- how can I replace the backslash?
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.

If I have JSON like this and pass it to the engine I am using to create a PDF file, the word "null" appears on the PDF. This isn't really my example, but I googled "json replace null empty string" and this was a hit, which is a good representation of my data, also:
{
"relationship": {
"type": "relationship",
"id": null,
"followed_id": null
}
}
We use a rendering engine that creates a PDF from a fixed template and variable data in the form of a json string. But our customers don't want to read that the id is "null", they want to read that the id is blank. In my C# program, the json is just a string, so I can easily do something like this:
jsonString = jsonString.Replace("null,", ",");but the issue is I can't replace null-comma with a comma, because then it's invalid json.
how to I make the rendering engine *and* my customer both happy?
