I have tried to make a program that would parse a raw list from Chrome://policy (input by RichTextbox) into a text array, then dump it into another RichTextbox. All of the raw string are exactly 32 characters long, followed by a comma. Here is the code:
Public Class Form1
Dim tempExt As String
Dim extsHandled As Integer
Dim numOfExts As Integer
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If RichTextBox1.Text = "" Then
MsgBox("Please enter the raw extensions from Chrome://policy")
Else
RichTextBox3.Text = RichTextBox1.Text
numOfExts = TextBox1.Text
Dim place As Integer = 0
Dim exts(150) As String
While extsHandled < numOfExts
tempExt = RichTextBox1.Text.Substring(0, 32)
exts(place) = tempExt
RichTextBox1.Text.Remove(0, 33)
place = place + 1
extsHandled = extsHandled + 1
End While
Dim newPlace As Integer = 0
While newPlace < numOfExts
RichTextBox2.AppendText(exts(newPlace))
newPlace = newPlace + 1
RichTextBox2.AppendText(" ")
End While
End If
End Sub
End Class
Most of it works, but it would seem something is going wrong with removing the characters from the richtextbox, as when I run it, it only parses the first part of the string over and over:
Am I doing something wrong?
If it's always like that you can do it like this:
RichTextBox3.Text = RichTextBox1.Text.Replace(",", vbNewLine)
The #3 is your result, while #1 is original right?
Ah yeah, you can count how many there simply by
RichTextBox2.Text= RichTextBox1.Text.Split({","}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries).Count.ToString
