SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on using Visual Basic (VB) to extract specific strings from a character set containing 56 characters, including alphabets and special symbols. The user, Alek Meh, seeks to isolate the strings "DonkeyCrigayisMillsMicrosoftDO**G**Team" and "77ash" from a jumbled input. Forum members suggest utilizing the MID function in VB to achieve this extraction, emphasizing the need for a clearer understanding of the input string structure to effectively separate the desired information.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Visual Basic (VB) programming language
  • Understanding of string manipulation functions in VB
  • Knowledge of regular expressions for pattern matching
  • Basic concepts of character sets and ASCII values
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the use of the MID function in Visual Basic for string extraction
  • Explore regular expressions in VB for advanced string pattern matching
  • Learn about string manipulation techniques in VB, including LEFT, RIGHT, and INSTR functions
  • Investigate character encoding and ASCII values to better understand character sets
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for VB developers, programmers working with string manipulation, and anyone interested in extracting specific data from complex character sets.

I have 56 characters in whcih there are 26 alphabets in disorder
Looks like: Donkey$^$%^@^$#@&$?<>Crigayis%$#%Mills%$#MicrosftDO**G*Team%^$%^$$77Ash...etc
(up to 56)
I'd like to use VB to take out "DonkeyCrigayisMillsMicrosoftDO**G**Team" and "77ash".

Anyone has any ideas? Teach me please!

Thanx,

~Alek

Meh,
old, young, even lesb ladies need soft throbs, don't move so hard and fast or she can't do it next time with yo :D. But these have experianced billions of times, i don't no they will take it hard ? Errosion! :D
asscii chars Comparison helps ?
 
Could you try to give us a better description of your problem? Frankly what you have given us makes little sense to me.

The mid function will do what you want but we need to understand your initial string (strings?) better to be able to separate the information you want.
