What pattern do you want to use to break the text apart? Do you want to break it based on the length? Is it based on a particular string pattern, e.g. XXX-NN representing the first part? Before anybody can offer you a definitive answer, you need to explain the problem fully.

Hi,

Without knowing exactly what criteria you want to use to split the string it is a bit difficult to give a definite answer.
Something you could look at and that is really powerful is Regular Expressions (RegEx)

Here are a few samples found using google:

Hope it helps.

Hi everybody Smile | :)

i'm in very bad situation Dead | X|

cause i can't find a way to get url of a current tab in Chrome...
i found a part of code but it doesn't work anyway ....

[DllImport("user32")]
        static extern IntPtr GetForegroundWindow();

        [DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = false)]
        static extern IntPtr SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 Msg,
        IntPtr wParam, StringBuilder lParam);

        [DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
        static extern IntPtr FindWindowEx(IntPtr parentHandle,
        IntPtr childAfter, string className, IntPtr windowTitle);

        //c po sur elle marche po xD
        private const int WM_GETTEXT = 0x000D;

        public static string getChromeURL()
        {
            uint MAX_PATH = 255;
            IntPtr hChrome, hAddressBox;
            hChrome = GetForegroundWindow();

            hAddressBox = FindWindowEx(hChrome, IntPtr.Zero,
                      "Chrome_AutocompleteEditView", IntPtr.Zero);

            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(256);

            SendMessage(hAddressBox, WM_GETTEXT, (IntPtr)MAX_PATH, sb);

            string s = sb.ToString().Trim(new Char[] { ' ', '\0', '\n' });
            return s;
        }

i don't know what i messed in this code . but it doesn't work for me
so please HELP ME Smile | :)

Hi,

welcome to CodeProject. You managed to ask a clear question with a readable code snippet, using PRE tags. Very good. You did fail to provide details on the failure though, if there is a compile-time or run-time error message/exception, you should report it.

It so happens I think I know what is going on: when sending messages to another process, if a pointer is involved, then that pointer must be valid in the destination process, not the originating process. So you need a buffer in the destination process, then request the data gets put into that buffer, and then you can go and read from that buffer. This takes several Win32 functions, I have an example (and an LP_Process class) here: LP#TrayIconBuster[^]. I suggest you study it there.

Smile | :)

In fact I haven't seen an urgentz anything for months now, not sure what is going on. Some winter effect maybe? Or have they all migrated to Q&A (I wouldn't notice nor mind)?

Are you sure you've been visiting the REAL Code Project site, or do you suspect you've been redirected to some hacked copy of the site?

A guide to posting questions on CodeProject[^]

Dave Kreskowiak

I think I'm getting real CP pages, however how can one be sure?

I just checked and searched, and found 4 messages and 7 questions, created this month and containing "urgentz" (outside this thread that is).

The youngest ones are http://www.codeproject.com/Script/Forums/view.aspx?msg=3747875[^] and http://www.codeproject.com/Script/Articles/Article.aspx?aid=150529[^].

And I admit I hadn't seen any of them as I normally don't read Q&A stuff and I read a smaller fraction of the forums than I used to read in the past.

thanks for your answer Smile | :)

i don't have anay bug with this code but when i run it the return value of getChromeURL is null i don't know why !!!! Frown | :(

PS: great article Smile | :)

you're welcome.

if you read the article you should know by now. If it still fails, you should compare what you have with what I offered, and if that doesn't help, you might post the relevant part of your code here.

Smile | :)

wooooooooooooow it's working now Smile | :)

thx a lot Luc for everything Big Grin | :-D

see u nxt..... may be for an other question Wink | ;)

take care...

Good observation Luc. Moreover the OP is responding to the replies. Not like "fire and forget" way.

I searched and found this post, but if I understand this correctly it will not work in my situation

http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/1907458/Re-Big-html-string-How-to-store-them.aspx[^]

How can I set a long string with multiple quotes inside of it to a single string variable? I want to hard code this so I can do a string replace. Thanks for reading!

An example would be

string htmltoreplace1 = @"<img src="/_layouts/images/blank.gif" class="ms-hidden" border=0 width=1 height=1 alt="Use SHIFT+ENTER to open the menu (new window)."></A><IMG SRC="/_layouts/images/blank.gif" ALT="" BORDER=0><IMG SRC="/_layouts/images/blank.gif" BORDER=0 ALT=""></TD><TD style="position:absolute;"><IMG src="/_layouts/images/blank.gif" width=13px style="visibility: hidden" alt="">"

or

string htmltoreplace2 = @"	<TABLE width="100%" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 border=0><SCRIPT>
ctx = new ContextInfo();
ctx.listBaseType = 0;
ctx.listTemplate = 100;
ctx.listName = "{5B7B0FEE-FE98-4066-A4FB-F48DF04D4EBA}";
ctx.view = "{79DA2D89-70D6-4497-90D9-DDE74040EF88}";
ctx.listUrlDir = "\u002fdcs\u002fotso\u002fDSUSF\u002fISSBR\u002fdeddDIB\u002fws\u002fLists";

use the backslash:

string str = "This is a string with \"quotes\" in it";

the other option is to "double up" the quotes and use the @ modifier

string str2 = @"This is a string with ""quotes"" in it";

"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." - John Quincy Adams

It is possible that I have misunderstood you, but this does seem a little simple:
If I understand you correctly, all you need to do is include the double quote characters in your string:

string s = @"1""2""3";

would create a string containing 5 characters:
'1'
'"'
'2'
'"'
'3'
So would:

string s = "1\"2\"3";

Take your pick!
If the string is quite large and unwieldy, and you want to include the newlines as well, you could make it more readable by moving the text to a file, and including it in your resources.

Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

It did seem simple until I tried to do it Smile | :)

Some of the strings are very very long, so I will have to move it to another file I guess.

Thank you both for your replies.

Hi,
I would like to implemnet a process that will initial on every form on my application on form InitializeComponent...

My thought is to some how customize the Form class and inherite the new class as my Form
i.e. "public class Form1 : MyCustomizedForm"

But I don't wont to recreate to whole Form class, I only whant to implement a process on it's loading after all controls were added. But I need it to take place in every form on my application.

Any ideas?

tnx

So, all you want to do is have something like this:

C#

public class MyCustomizedForm : Form
{
  public MyCustomizedForm() : base()
  {
    // Do some process here. InitializeComponent will already have
    // been called by the base constructor.
  }
}

I'm not a stalker, I just know things. Oh by the way, you're out of milk.
