[RESOLVED] Insert same repeated characters among words

[VB.NET Developer]

Hi,
I have extracted some words with fixed length -

"liked years mouth click width exams forms genda coder codes table poorl poste franc repot derie cvang"

and I want to insert some characters among them (, and T), but what I wannt is that theres need to be placed repeatedly using this pattern:

"liked,years,mouth,clickTwidthTexamsTforms,genda,coder,codesTtableTpoorlTposte,franc,repot,derieTcvang"

[.paul.]

TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text.Re[;ace("liked years mouth click width exams forms genda coder codes table poorl poste franc repot derie cvang", "liked,years,mouth,clickTwidthTexamsTforms,genda,coder,codesTtableTpoorlTposte,franc,repot,derieTcvang")

Thanks, but this is not exaclty I am looking for...
I am looking for something that could be changed according to my needs (separator length, characters to replace), because I have another texts, but on these I need to use different character set as a replacement...

So something other than what you actually asked for in the first post then? Perhaps you should provide all the relevant information up front. That way, we won't be forced to guess or assume and then we can't guess or assume incorrectly. Don't just provide a single example because there are always going to be lots of ways that one example could be handled. What we need is the actual rules you want implemented, not an example of those rules implemented. In short, provide a FULL and CLEAR description of the problem.

OK. I have many other words such as
"no to te be dc cu nt wi at de cz cm de re wo id st ri gp" etc
on these I want to insert different character set - "." and "3"
so output will looks like this:
"no.to.te.be.dc3cu3nt3wi3at.de.cz.cm.de3re3wo3id3st.ri.gp" etc

Another example:
"three fourth space reply quote salut words exeed toped cruze cajow" etc
on these I want to use another character set - "?" and "@"
"three?fourth@space?reply@quote?salut@words?exeed@toped?cruze@cajow"

So I am looking for universal solution that can be configured with parameters - separators, length. So basically replace space with repeated set of characters according the pattern.

I've read you Post(s) 4 times and still don't get it.

a guess would be to use Skip and Take in a Loop

quick samle (without Loop)

        Dim input As String = "liked years mouth click width exams forms genda coder codes table poorl poste franc repot derie cvang"

        Dim allWords = input.Split(New Char() {" "c})

        Dim a = allWords.Skip(3).Take(4)

        Debug.WriteLine(String.Join("T", a))

'returns:
'clickTwidthTexamsTforms

what is the logic of your sequences ?
on the first example in post #1, the sequence of replacement is 3 x ',' then 3 x 'T' and so on
on the the two examples above, the first one is 4 x '.' then 4 x '3', ...
on the third it is 1 x '?' then 1 x '@'....
is there other potential sequences ? (3 characters, different length for each ?)
you will need 1 variable for the length of the sequence, 2 variables for the character.
a "for each" loop to go through all character and a counter to change the character.
you check each character, if it is a space, change the space, increase the counter, if the counter reach the limit, change the replacement character and put the counter to 0, etc...
you put all that in a function : input : string, length, char1, char2. output : string

As I said prior - I am looking for universal solution that can be configured with parameters - separators, length. So basically replace space with repeated set of characters according the pattern.

I figured it out some days ago:

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
        Dim StrData As String
        StrData = TextBox4.Text
        StrData = Replace(StrData, " ", ",", , TextBox_K.Text)
        StrData = Replace(StrData, " ", "T", , TextBox_P.Text)
        TextBox4.Text = StrData
    End Sub
