Hi again guys :D I need to make a program that reads a txt file, show the original file on a RTB and then show the words of the file, sorted alphabetically with the number of words found on the file in another RTB, e.g.

INPUT:
"That fox killed my rabbit, but my dog killed the fox"

OUTPUT:

but 1
dog 1
fox 2
killed 2
my
rabbit 1
That 1
the 1

The program must convert all the strings to minus and eliminate periods , ), (.

The code that i have sort alphabetically, but instead of counting the words count the lines in which the words appear e.g.

OUTPUT:
but 1
dog 1
fox 1
fox 1
killed 1
killed 1
my 1
my 1
rabbit, 1
That 1
the 1

The part where I need to eliminate ., ), ( etc and convert to minus the words I have it but i don't know how to implement it into the code, so basically the program left the counting of concurrene words and convert all the words to minus and eliminate extra characters.

This is my code, the part that do the sort and need to introduce the changes starts @ line 68 and ends @line 87

Any help will be very appreciated

Thanks in advanced!!

EDIT: I find an easy way to convert from mayus to minus the string words, so the program only left the delete function of characteres and the concurrency of words

i remember that kind of topic was few weeks ago already on that forum. did u use the search function on that site before posting?

yep, i checked first the forums but i didn't find anything like this

double weird

404 error pages...:(

url's fixed

wow thx for the urls i really looked before but nothing of this appeared i'll try some examps here, thanks so much 4 ur help.

i'll leave open the thread until i can find the solution

thx again :D

hi again, I find a code thx to GeekByChoiCe that maybe could help me this is the url. I modified it alittle bit, but now I can't get the correct output, this is the code:

Private Sub TabPage2_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TabPage2.VisibleChanged
        'wtf como uso esto
        'rtbString.Replace(".", "")
        'txtString.Replace(".", "")

        Dim sentence As String = RichTextBox1.Text

        Dim words() As String = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Split(sentence, "\W+")

        Dim dict As Dictionary(Of String, Integer) = New Dictionary(Of String, Integer)

        For Each word In words

            Dim cnt As Integer

            If (dict.TryGetValue(word, cnt)) Then

                dict(word) = cnt + 1

            Else

                dict.Add(word, 1)

            End If

        Next
        For Each key In dict
            'this doesn't work to sort
            'dict.Sort()
             'this doesn't work too, to print the output
            'RichTextBox2.Text = dict.toarray
             'original code to print the output
              Console.WriteLine("Word: {0} Count:{1}", key.Key, key.Value)


        Next

    End Sub

if anyone could help with this I'll really aprecciate it

Thanks in advance

well comment the line
Console.WriteLine("Word: {0} Count:{1}", key.Key, key.Value)
and add the lines
RichTextBox2.AppendText(key.Key & " - " & key.Value & vbNewLine)
RichTextBox2.ScrollToCaret()

oh thank you so much actually I used the same sentence but instead of RichTextBox2.AppendText i used richtextbox2.text :D

You helped me alot thanks again

I still have a lot to learn

Have a good weekend XD
