take text only

[saadmechiche]

HI EVERYBODY
i would like to know if there is a function in vb.net that can take a text without spaces or numbers .
ex:
dim p as string
p=inputbox("give a text please")
' the text for example is "hello "
what I want is just "hello"
thank you

Trim will remove any leading or trailing spaces.

So NewString = MyString.Trim

To remove numbers you would need a small function to loop through the characters and strip any numbers out.

I think this does what you want.

Option Strict On
Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim MyString As String = "This is my 8 text and it 5 has some 10 numbers in it"
        MessageBox.Show(StripNumbersAndDoubleSpaces(MyString.Trim))
    End Sub

    Private Function StripNumbersAndDoubleSpaces(ByVal instring As String) As String
        Dim str As String = String.Empty
        Dim PreviousCh As Char = Nothing
        For Each ch As Char In instring
            If Not Char.IsNumber(ch) Then
                If ch = " " Then
                    If Not PreviousCh = " " Then str += ch
                Else
                    str += ch
                End If
                PreviousCh = ch
            End If
        Next
        Return str
    End Function

End Class
