[RESOLVED] CheckedListBox.Remove (*wildcard) or For each..

[bbdevel]

Ive searched high and low and can not come up with a solution..maybe Im just using the wrong search string...any help would be great. Basically I have read a txt file line by line split with regex all works well except blank space so I .remove("") blank line. Now I need to further remove all strings that start with prefix of PREFIX_somefile. Thanks for any help!

Dim str As String
            For Each str In strs
                CheckedListBox1.Items.Add(str)
                CheckedListBox1.Sorted = True
                CheckedListBox1.Items.Remove("")
                CheckedListBox1.Items.Remove("PREFIX_"*wildcard)
            Next

Just use the str.contains("PREFIX_") to compare and remove that line...

The code

Dim str As String
        For Each str In strs
            If str.Contains("PREFIX_") OrElse str.Length = 0 Then
                Continue For
            End If
            CheckedListBox1.Items.Add(str)
            CheckedListBox1.Sorted = True
        Next

Dim itemText As String

                For i As Integer = (CheckedListBox1.Items.Count - 1) To 0 Step -1
                    itemText = CheckedListBox1.GetItemText(CheckedListBox1.Items(i))
                    If itemText.StartsWith("PREFIX_") Then
                        CheckedListBox1.Items.RemoveAt(i)
                    End If
                Next

This works perfect do you recommend this code? Would your way be easier? Thanks for your reply tho

Why do you add, and then remove?

I think it's better to remove before add...

I think your right too! Thanks for your help! Your code works too! Wouldn't know how to make a function key for app with no button? Giving rep and marking resolved.

Thanks

But i don't understand what you trying to do, and if this is another question just create a new thread and mark this one resolved.
