Hi all, lets say I have a string that I want to split based on several characters, like ".", "!", and "?". How do I figure out which one of those characters split my string so I can add that same character back on to the end of the split segments in question?
Dim linePunctuation as Integer = 0
Dim myString As String = "some text. with punctuation! in it?"
For i = 1 To Len(myString)
If Mid$(entireFile, i, 1) = "." Then linePunctuation += 1
Next
For i = 1 To Len(myString)
If Mid$(entireFile, i, 1) = "!" Then linePunctuation += 1
Next
For i = 1 To Len(myString)
If Mid$(entireFile, i, 1) = "?" Then linePunctuation += 1
Next
Dim delimiters(3) As Char
delimiters(0) = "."
delimiters(1) = "!"
delimiters(2) = "?"
currentLineSplit = myString.Split(delimiters)
Dim sentenceArray(linePunctuation) As String
Dim count As Integer = 0
While linePunctuation > 0
sentenceArray(count) = currentLineSplit(count)'Here I want to add what ever delimiter was used to make the split back onto the string before it is stored in the array.'
count += 1
linePunctuation -= 1
End While
