    organizing and removing unwanted numbers from datagridview

    Hello guys,

    I have this code here that updates my gridviewdata with a json file every time i click a button.

    Code:
      DataGridView2.Rows.Clear()
            Dim uri As Uri = New Uri("https://api.import.io/store/connector/06a2a24f-6678-407e-8ad0-c7cbe24cf33c/_query?input=webpage/url:http%3A%2F%2Ffxowebtools.saxobank.com%2Fretail.html&&_apikey=d4c36ddd8f8d4a629bdf06e47993809233ac34a0ee817f4af327f7e016e1cb0921ba78b0da4d9be881051cbf3cf672f1425214d8e687e33559e24fdd17bc5a606e8ce1eac3d6e064593e3fcc34d23344")
            Dim wc1 As System.Net.WebClient = New System.Net.WebClient()
            Dim VCItem As String = wc1.DownloadString(uri)
            Dim o As JObject = JObject.Parse(VCItem)
            Dim results As List(Of JToken) = o.Children().ToList
    
    
            Try
                For Each item As JProperty In results
                    item.CreateReader()
                    If item.Value.Type = JTokenType.Array Then
                        For Each subitem As JObject In item.Values
    
    
                            DataGridView2.Rows.Add(subitem("leftlabelcells_value"), (subitem("hideextra_number")), (subitem("rightpositioncells_number")))
    
    
    
                        Next
                    End If
                Next
            Catch ex As Exception

    EURUSD 49 51
    USDJPY 16 84
    GBPUSD 65 35
    AUDUSD 41 59
    USDCAD 45 55
    USDCHF 57 43
    EURJPY 58 42
    EURGBP 17 83
    EURCHF 28 72
    GOLD 33 67
    SILVER 8 92


    in other words, i need to take off all the brackets and all the digits after the first comma or the first decimal point.
    any help would be greatly appreciated !

    Re: organizing and removing unwanted numbers from datagridview

    Try this:
    Code:
    DataGridView2.Rows.Add(subitem("leftlabelcells_value"), Convert.ToInt32(subitem("hideextra_number").Replace(" ", String.Empty).Replace("[", String.Empty).Replace("]", String.Empty).Split(","c)(0)), Convert.ToInt32(subitem("rightpositioncells_number").Replace(" ", String.Empty).Replace("[", String.Empty).Replace("]", String.Empty.Split(","c)(0)))
    Basically for the last two columns I replace all spaces, open brackets, and close brackets with an empty String and then I split the value by a comma and get the first item from the split.

    Edit - I also convert the values returned from the process described to an Integer which will round all values down and remove the decimal place.

    Re: organizing and removing unwanted numbers from datagridview

    Ok, I had thought that the value was a String value. What does the JToken class look like, is there a Text property?

    I doubt it... it looks based on its use that JToken is an enumerated type... it's checking if the type of the value of the item is an array or not...
    I think we'd need to know a bit more about what each item is (beyond being a JProperty) and what it's .Value is like...

    Re: organizing and removing unwanted numbers from datagridview

    [49.0,0.0] -- means the value is an array... two elements in this case...

    so subitem("rightpositioncells_number") gives you the whole array... you only want the first one:
    subitem("rightpositioncells_number")(0)

    should give you the first element of the array.

    Re: organizing and removing unwanted numbers from datagridview

    Do the same thing that I'm doing on add .Value(GetType(String)):
    Code:
    DataGridView2.Rows.Add(subitem("leftlabelcells_value"), _
        Convert.ToInt32(subitem("hideextra_number").Value(GetType(String)).Replace(" ", String.Empty).Replace("[", String.Empty).Replace("]", String.Empty).Split(","c)(0)), _
        Convert.ToInt32(subitem("rightpositioncells_number").Value(GetType(String)).Replace(" ", String.Empty).Replace("[", String.Empty).Replace("]", String.Empty.Split(","c)(0)))

    i get another error :

    your code works with only values that has 0 on the second or the first element such as ;

    [49.0,0.0]
    [51.0,0.0]
    [72.0,0.0]

    but if there is a value on the second element, nothing shows up in the grid :

    [83.0,1.0]
    [92.0,-1.0]
    [33.0,-5.0]

    Try changing GetType(String) to Of String.

    thank you for trying, i am stuck with this code for the past 2 days.

    the new change does not show anymore errors but in runtime when its fetching data, it stops and get a new error :


    An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in Newtonsoft.Json.dll
    Additional information: Cannot cast Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JArray to Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JToken.
