  • 11 years ago

    i have a combination of lines like this:

    X200876Y-140576 X220177Y12467

    and i want to make this lines to be like this

    X200.876 Y-140.576 X220.177 Y124.67

    The program should works like this. It should read the line and it shoud add "." after 3 numbers from X and for Y also same thing After Y it should count 3 numbers and add [DOT] and avoid any other character after Y only count numbers. Dim lines() As String = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("C:\kaya.txt")

        Dim sv As StreamWriter = File.CreateText("C:\\kaya.txt")
    
        Dim line As String
        For Each line In lines
    
            Dim pos1 As Integer = line.LastIndexOf("X") + 1
    
            Dim pos2 As Integer = line.LastIndexOf("Y") + 1
    
            Dim leng As Integer = line.Length
    
            Dim fstnum As String = line.Substring(pos1, pos2 - pos1 - 1)
    
            Dim sndnum As String = line.Substring(pos2, leng - pos2)
    
            If IsDigits(fstnum) Then
                fstnum = "X" + fstnum.Insert(fstnum.Length - 3, ".") + " " '<--blank space added
    
            Else
                fstnum = "X" + fstnum + " " '<--blank space added
            End If
            If IsDigits(sndnum) Then
                sndnum = "Y" + sndnum.Insert(sndnum.Length - 3, ".")
            Else
                sndnum = "Y" + sndnum
            End If
            editedLine = fstnum + sndnum
    
            sv.WriteLine(editedline)
        Next
    
        sv.Close()
    
    
    End Sub
    Private Shared Function IsDigits(ByVal value As String) As Boolean
        If String.IsNullOrEmpty(value) Then
    
            Return False
        End If
    
        Dim regexp As Regex = New System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("^[0-9,-]*$")
    
        Return regexp.Match(value).Success
    

    Can any one help me to solve this problem Thank you
