Passing string to int to substring - c#

I currently get the users number like this:
if (checkBox1.Checked)
{
rchars = numericUpDown1.Value.ToString();
}
else
{
rchars = "3";
}
string rchars; is a global variable.
So, I'm trying to remove the rchars from file names.
For example the first three characters from the file name:
int num = Int32.Parse(rchars);
foreach (FileInfo name in fpaths.GetFiles("*.mp3")
{
string snub = name.Name.Substring(num);
MessageBox.Show(snub);
System.IO.File.Move(blah + name.Name, newblah + snub);
}
My question is how can I get "num" to work in a substring? Since I can't get it to be a value. Since I want to pass it from the numericUpDown. Add make "num" a value so I can remove the value from the file names.
Thanks.

Value property of NumericUpDown is Decimal - that is perhaps why you are having issues. In your if block, I would consider casting the Value Property of NumericUpDown object into an integer in the true part and use integer value 3 in its else part. There after, I would avoid parsing again and give it to Substring as is.

You say you want to remove all occurrences of rchars from name, so why are you using Substring? If you want to remove the string rchars from name then just keep it as a string and use String.Replace:
string snub = name.Name.Replace( rchars, String.Empty );
Also, the Value property of a NumericUpDown is a decimal, not an int.

are you looking to replace the value "3" within the name of a file with something else/remove it? Like this:
original file:
string fiename = "myfile3.mp3";
remove/replace selected number (in this case 3):
string num = "3";
filename.replace(num, "");
should end up with a filename "myfile.mp3"

Verify empty field Selenium C#

I am trying to check if a text field is empty and I can't convert bool to string.
I am trying this:
var firstName = driver.FindElement(By.Id("name_3_firstname"));
if (firstName.Equals(" ")) {
Console.WriteLine("This field can not be empty");
}
Also, how can I check if certain number field is exactly 20 digits?
Can you help me do this?
Thank you in advance!
If it's string, then you can use string.Empty or "", because " " contains a space, therefore it's not empty.
For those 20 digits, you can use a bit of a workaround field.ToString().Length == 20 or you can repetitively divide it by 10 until the resulting value is 0, but I'd say the workaround might be easier to use.
This is more of a general C# answer. I'm not exactly sure how well it's gonna work in Selenium, but I've checked and string.Empty and ToString() appear to exist there.
For Empty / White space / Null, use following APIs of the string class
string.IsNullOrEmpty(value) or
string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(value)
For exact 20 digits, best is to use the Regular expression as follows, this can also be converted to range and combination of digits and characters if required. Current regular expression ensures that beginning, end and all components are digits
string pattern = #"^\d{20}$";
var booleanResult = Regex.Match(value,pattern).Success
I'm not sure that this way will work in your case. Code:
var firstName = driver.FindElement(By.Id("name_3_firstname"));
will return to You IWebElement object. First you should try to get text of this element. Try something like firstName.Text or firstName.getAttribute("value");. When u will have this you will able to check
:
var text = firstName.getAttribute("value");
if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(text)){ // do something }
if(text.length == 20) {// do something}

Deleted words from a string

Is there any possibility to delete specific words from a string? For exempla
string x ="documents\bin\debug" and I want to delete "\bin\debug".
Use String.Replace():
string x = #"documents\bin\debug";
string desiredString = x.Replace(#"\bin\debug", String.Empty);
Note: The key thing here is that you have to assign the string returned by the Replace() function to a variable. (From your comment on the question, it is the problem). This can either be another variable (as in the above example) or the same variable:
string x = x.Replace(#"\bin\debug", String.Empty);
Implicitly, not assigning the return value to a variable (or using the former way) will keep the value of x, unchanged, which is the exact problem you're facing. Hope it helps :)
Use string replace
string x = #"documents\bin\debug";
string nestring = x.Replace(#"\bin\debug", "");
Console.WriteLine(nestring);

Get only numbers from line in file

So I have this file with a number that I want to use.
This line is as follows:
TimeAcquired=1433293042
I only want to use the number part, but not the part that explains what it is.
So the output is:
1433293042
I just need the numbers.
Is there any way to do this?
Follow these steps:
read the complete line
split the line at the = character using string.Split()
extract second field of the string array
convert string to integer using int.Parse() or int.TryParse()
There is a very simple way to do this and that is to call Split() on the string and take the last part. Like so if you want to keep it as a string:
var myValue = theLineString.Split('=').Last();
If you need this as an integer:
int myValue = 0;
var numberPart = theLineString.Split('=').Last();
int.TryParse(numberPart, out myValue);
string setting=sr.ReadLine();
int start = setting.IndexOf('=');
setting = setting.Substring(start + 1, setting.Length - start);
A good approach to Extract Numbers Only anywhere they are found would be to:
var MyNumbers = "TimeAcquired=1433293042".Where(x=> char.IsDigit(x)).ToArray();
var NumberString = new String(MyNumbers);
This is good when the FORMAT of the string is not known. For instance you do not know how numbers have been separated from the letters.
you can do it using split() function as given below
string theLineString="your string";
string[] collection=theLineString.Split('=');
so your string gets divided in two parts,
i.e.
1) the part before "="
2) the part after "=".
so thus you can access the part by their index.
if you want to access numeric one then simply do this
string answer=collection[1];
try
string t = "TimeAcquired=1433293042";
t= t.replace("TimeAcquired=",String.empty);
After just parse.
int mrt= int.parse(t);

Get value off querystring by it's position

I have a URL that's going to have one parameter on it but the 'name' of this parameter will, in some cases, be different eg.
www.mysite.com/blog/?name=craig
www.mysite.com/blog/?city=birmingham
and what I'm trying to do is always get the value (craig / birmingham) of the first (and only) parameter on the string regardless of it's name (name/ city). Is there any code that will do that or will I have to check the possible options?
thanks,
Craig
Try something like this:
string valueOfFirstQueryStringParameter = "";
string nameOfFirstQueryStringParameter = "";
NameValueCollection n = Request.QueryString;
if (n.HasKeys())
{
nameOfFirstQueryStringParameter = n.GetKey(0);
valueOfFirstQueryStringParameter = n.Get(0);
}

C# , Substring How to access last elements of an array/string using substring

I am generating 35 strings which have the names ar15220110910, khwm20110910 and so on.
The string contains the name of the Id (ar152,KHWM), and the date (20110910). I want to extract the Id, date from the string and store it in a textfile called StatSummary.
My code statement is something like this
for( int 1= 0;i< filestoextract.count;1++)
{
// The filestoextract contains 35 strings
string extractname = filestoextract(i).ToString();
statSummary.writeline( extractname.substring(0,5) + "" +
extractname.substring(5,4) + "" + extractname.substring(9,2) + "" +
extractname.substring(11,2));
}
When the station has Id containing 5 letters, then this code executes correctly but when the station Id is KHWM or any other 4 letter name then the insertion is all messed up. I am running this inside a loop. So I have tried keeping the code as dynamic as possible. Could anyone help me to find a way without hardcoding it. For instance accessing the last 8 elements to get the date??? I have searched but am not able to find a way to do that.
For the last 8 digits, it's just:
extractname.Substring(extractname.Length-8)
oh, I'm sorry, and so for your code could be:
int l = extractname.Length;
statSummary.WriteLine(extractname.substring(0,l-8) + "" +
extractname.Substring(l-8,4) + "" + extractname.Substring(l-4,2) + "" +
extractname.Substring(l-2,2));
As your ID length isn't consistent, it would probably be a better option to extract the date (which is always going to be 8 chars) and then treat the remainder as your ID e.g.
UPDATED - more robust by actually calculating the length of the date based on the format. Also validates against the format to make sure you have parsed the data correctly.
var dateFormat = "yyyyMMdd"; // this could be pulled from app.config or some other config source
foreach (var file in filestoextract)
{
var dateStr = file.Substring(file.Length-dateFormat.Length);
if (ValidateDate(dateStr, dateFormat))
{
var id = file.Substring(0, file.Length - (dateFormat.Length+1));
// do something with data
}
else
{
// handle invalid filename
}
}
public bool ValidateDate(stirng date, string date_format)
{
try
{
DateTime.ParseExact(date, date_format, DateTimeFormatInfo.InvariantInfo);
}
catch
{
return false;
}
return true;
}
You could use a Regex :
match = Regex.Match ("khwm20110910","(?<code>.*)(?<date>.{6})" );
Console.WriteLine (match.Groups["code"] );
Console.WriteLine (match.Groups["date"] );
To explain the regex pattern (?<code>.*)(?<date>.{6}) the brackets groups creates a group for each pattern. ?<code> names the group so you can reference it easily.
The date group takes the last six characters of the string. . says take any character and {6} says do that six times.
The code group takes all the remaining characters. * says take as many characters as possible.
for each(string part in stringList)
{
int length = part.Length;
int start = length - 8;
string dateString = part.Substring(start, 8);
}
That should solve the variable length to get the date. The rest of the pull is most likely dependent on a pattern (suggested) or the length of string (when x then the call is 4 in length, etc)
If you ID isn't always the same amount of letters you should seperate the ID and the Date using ',' or somthing then you use this:
for( int 1= 0;i< filestoextract.count;1++)
{
string extractname = filestoextract[i].ToString();
string ID = extractname.substring(0, extractname.IndexOf(','));
string Date = extractname.substring(extractname.IndexOf(','));
Console.WriteLine(ID + Date);
}
