I searched but nothing explains how to do this,
for example
Dim sentence as String = "cat is an animal"
if i make a msgbox :
MsgBox(sentence)
it shows
cat is an animal
how to make a msgbox that says
cat
is
an
animal.
Easy way Replace space with new line
as in string words = MyString.Replace(" ","\r\n")
Split would be split on space in to an array , and then join that back up with new lines which is pointless unless you need the array for something else.

I am brand new to Scala and having a tough time figuring this out.
I have a string like this:
a = "The dog crossed the street"
I want to create a list that looks like below:
a = List("The","dog","crossed","the","street")
I tried doing this using .split(" ") and then returning that, but it seems to do nothing and returns the same string. Could anyone help me out here?
It's safer to split() on one-or-more whitespace characters, just in case there are any tabs or adjacent spaces in the mix.
split() returns an Array so if you want a List you'll need to convert it.
"The dog\tcrossed\nthe street".split("\\s+").toList
//res0: List[String] = List(The, dog, crossed, the, street)
I was looking for a solution and I found it here
replacing many words every one with alternative word
But now I'm using a alternative code that I've got from the link below that post, which is case sensitve.
Function SubstituteMultipleCS(text As String, old_text As Range, new_text As Range)
Dim i As Single
For i = 1 To old_text.Cells.Count
Result = Replace(text, old_text.Cells(i), new_text.Cells(i))
text = Result
Next i
SubstituteMultipleCS = Result
End Function
I'm using it to make German Anki cards so I need to replace some words with ___. It's working with one single word or a bunch of words if they are together, but...
The problem is the following:
Some verbs conjugation have a sentence structure when I must place the main verb after the noun and the particle, which belongs to the verb, at the end. Something like this
As you can see in the picture, the verb "schaute an" is not replaced by the new word because "schaute" is separated from "an" in the original sentence.
Is there any way to fix this?
thank you.
Here is a formula you may use (which works for your current sample data:
Formula in C2:
=IFERROR(TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(" "&SUBSTITUTE(B2,"."," ")&" "," "&FILTERXML("<t><s>"&SUBSTITUTE(A2," ","</s><s>")&"</s></t>","//s[position() = 1]")&" ",D2,1),IFERROR(" "&FILTERXML("<t><s>"&SUBSTITUTE(A2," ","</s><s>")&"</s></t>","//s[position() = 2]")&" ",""),D2,1),IFERROR(" "&FILTERXML("<t><s>"&SUBSTITUTE(A2," ","</s><s>")&"</s></t>","//s[position() = 3]")&" ",""),D2,1))&".","")
The advantage of nested substitutes is that we can tell the function to only replace the first occurence if you had a sentence where multiple could occur. Not sure if it's watertight.
I am trying to clean text strings containing any ' or ' (which includes an ; but if i add it here you will see just ' again. Because the the ANSI is also encoded by stackoverflow. The string content contains ' and when it does there is an error.
when i insert the string to my database i get this error:
psycopg2.ProgrammingError: syntax error at or near "s"
LINE 1: ...tment and has commenced a search for mr. whitnell's
the original string looks like this:
...a search for mr. whitnell's...
To remove the ' and ' ; I use:
stripped_content = stringcontent.replace("'","")
stripped_content = stringcontent.replace("' ;","")
any advice is welcome, best regards
When you try to replace("' ;","") it literally searching for "' ;" occurrences in string. You need to convert "' ;" to its character equivalent. Try this:
s = "That's how we 'roll"
r = s.replace(chr(int('''[2:])), "")
and with this chr(int('''[2:])) you'll get ' character.
Output:
Thats how we roll
Note
If you try to run this s.replace(chr(int('''[2:])), "") without saving your result in variable then your original string would not be affected.
So let's say I have a string called Hi there.
I am currently using
m:match("^(%S+)")
to get just Hi from the string, now all I need to do is just get "there" from the string but I have no idea how.

There are numerous ways to split words in a string on whitespace.
This one seems like it might be a good fit for your problem:
function justWords(str)
local t = {} -- create an empty table
-- create a function to insert a word into the table
local function helper(word) table.insert(t, word) return "" end
-- grab each word in the string and pass it to `helper`
if not str:gsub("%w+", helper):find"%S" then return t end
end
table = justWords(example)
table[1] -- hi
table[2] -- there
table[3] -- nil
I need to import text from txt file with some variables. I use BufferedReader and File Reader. In code I have :
String car = "vw golf";
String color = "nice sunny blue color";
And in my txt file:
I have nice " +car+ " which has "+color+".
My expected output :
I have nice vw golf which has nice sunny blue color.
My actual output is :
I have nice " +car+ " which has "+color+".
If I've understood correctly, what you want to do is replace " + car + " with the value of your car string and likewise for colour. You've tried to do this by writing your text file as if it were a command to be evaluated. However, that won't happen - it will just be outputted as is. I'm going to assume you are using c#. What you need to do is, prior to outputting your string, parse it to replace the markers with the variables. I would recommend you get rid of the double quotes in your text file. You could then do something like this:
string text = this.ReadTextFromFile();
string ammended = text.Replace("+car+", car);
As mentioned, this is assuming you remove the double quotes from your text file so it reads:
I have nice +car+ which has +color+.
Also, you don't need to use the + symbols, but I suppose they are a good way of designating a unique token to be replaced. You could use {car} in the file and then likewise in the Replace startment, for example.
I may not have properly understood what you wanted to do, of course!
Edit: Incase of confustion,
this.ReadTextFile();
was just a short hand way of saying that the text variable contains the contents as read from your text file.
