Here is what I have so far

 Public Class PokerHands
Sub InputFormat() 'Function to remove space and change characters to UPPER CASE         InputDisplay.Text = InputDisplay.Text.Replace(" ", "").Replace(",","").ToUpper     End Sub
    Sub FourOfaKind() 'Four of a Kind
    End Sub
    Sub ThreeOfaKind() 'Three of a Kind
    End Sub
    Sub Pair() 'A pair
    End Sub
    Sub Flush() 'A flush
    End Sub
    Sub Straight() ' A straight, if ace is low
    End Sub
    Sub AceStraight() 'An ace-high straight; 10, J, Q, K, A
    End Sub
    Private Sub InputDisplay_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles InputDisplay.TextChanged

    End Sub
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByValsender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click         Dim hands(4, 13) As Integer 'Example: If (2,11) = 1 then is JD         Dim SuitsValue() As String = {"S", "D", "C", "H"}
        Dim FaceValue() As String = {"2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "T", "J", "Q", "K", "A"}     End Sub
End Class

Hi here is what I have my code so far. I am simply stuck as how to make the program reads the user input and then display the correpsonding deck. For example: if the user input "aH, AS, 2D, 3C, 4C" the program will return ace of hearts, ace of spades, two of diamonds, three of clubs, and four of clubs? Also how can the program will recognize that the first letter (substring (0,1) is the FaceValue and the second letter substring(1,1) is the SuitsValue? I understand I will need a loop function to determine all five. I am sorry if I am asking stupid questions here but I am really stuck!!!

Thank you very much!

Hi,

Based on your description, you want to know how to use loop to judge the first letter of user input is facevalue and the second letter of user input is suitvalue. I am not familar with VB, so I use C# console application to simulate this scene. Hope it can help you. And here is a VB sample for playing cards.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string[] suitvalues= { "S", "D", "C", "H" };
            string[] facevalues={ "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "T", "J", "Q", "K", "A" };
            string inputvalue=Console.ReadLine();
            string inputv_1 = inputvalue.Substring(0,1);
            string inputv_2 = inputvalue.Substring(1,1);
            bool flag = true;
            for (int i = 0; i < facevalues.Length; i++)
            {
                
                if (inputv_1 == facevalues[i])
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("the first letter is facevalues: " + facevalues[i]);
                    flag=false;
                    break;
                }
              
             }
             
             if (flag)
                        Console.WriteLine("the first letter "+inputv_1+ " is not facevalues!");
              

            bool flag2 = true;
            for (int i = 0; i < suitvalues.Length; i++)
            {
             
                if (inputv_2 == suitvalues[i])
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("the second letter is suitvalues: " + suitvalues[i]);
                    flag2 = false;
                    break;
                }
              
            }
             
            if (flag2)
                        Console.WriteLine("the second letter " + inputv_2 + " is not suitvalues!");
                
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}
