Answer 1

Hi,

maybe you should investigate Regular Expressions. That is the most powerfull way to handle text in my eyes. There is a lot of documentation available on the net so I would sugegst to just use bing or google to look it up (maybe also add introduction or tutorial). One of the first hits should be wikipedia and I would suggest to start there. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression)

With kind regards,

Konrad

I forgot to mention: This forum is covering the Developer Documentation and the MS Help System only. You might want to ask your questions inside a forum targeting the language you are using. There are a lot of Forums targeting C#, C++ and VB.Net. (You are really welcome and I hope that my replies to your questions was already helpfull. But maybe you have a look at other forums and hopefully you will find a great community which is willing to help you and explain things deeply. The forums can be a great resource for starters!)

With kind regards,

Konrad
