...databox.text (from example code below) contains a large list of combined words(domain names) previously populated in the program. There is 1 per each line. In this example, it initially looks like:
thepeople.com
truehistory.com
workhorse.com
whatever.com
neverchange.com
...
The following code below saves the text inside databox to tlistfiltered.txt and then searches tlistfiltered.txt to retrieve all lines that contain any of the items in the list "arr()", and then populates listview(lv) with the results. This works just fine, but the results look like:
thepeople.com
truehistory.com
neverchange.com
...
but what I need is the "found string" (from arr()list to be Proper case so the result would be:
thePeople.com
trueHistory.com
neverChange.com
Here is the code....
Dim s As String = databox.Text
File.WriteAllText(dloc & "tlistfiltered.txt", s)
databox.Clear()
Dim text2() As String = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(dloc & "tlistfiltered.txt")
Dim arr() As String = {"people", "history", "change"}
For index1 = 0 To arr.GetUpperBound(0)
Dim YesLines() As String = Array.FindAll(text2, Function(str As String)
Return str.Contains(arr(index1))
End Function).ToArray
databox.Visible = True
For index2 = 0 To YesLines.GetUpperBound(0)
Dim match As String = (YesLines(index2)) & vbCrLf
databox.AppendText(match)
Next
Next
s = databox.Text
File.WriteAllText(dloc & "tlistfilteredfinal.txt", s)
databox.Clear()
domains = (From line In File.ReadAllLines(dloc & "tlistfilteredfinal.txt") Select New ListViewItem(line.Split)).ToArray
lv.Items.Clear()
My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile(dloc & "tlistfiltered.txt")
My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile(dloc & "tlistfilteredfinal.txt")
BackgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync()
End Sub
Is there a way to do this on the fly? I have tried StrConv etc, but it will only convert the entire line to proper case. I only want the "found" word contained within the line to be converted....
edit:
after seeing @soohoonigan 's answer, i edited
databox.Visible = True
For index2 = 0 To YesLines.GetUpperBound(0)
Dim match As String = (YesLines(index2)) & vbCrLf
databox.AppendText(match)
Next
Next
to this:
databox.Visible = True
For index2 = 0 To YesLines.GetUpperBound(0)
Dim match As String = (YesLines(index2)) & vbCrLf
Dim myTI As System.Globalization.TextInfo = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US", False).TextInfo
If match.Contains(arr(index1)) Then
match = match.Replace(arr(index1), myTI.ToTitleCase(arr(index1)))
'StrConv(match, vbProperCase)
databox.AppendText(match)
End If
Next
and got the desired result!
