hi again

i was able to finish it until here and it's working. But what I like is, it will display "Word Found" or let's say true if I'll write a word which is on the sentence itself.
ok, I tried to write: this is my first sentence
and on the 2nd box, if i write "sentence" only it displays "the word can't be found".

so i think i'm on the right track but i'd like that it will give me result "true" if the word i type is on the sentence

thanks

here is my code:

namespace DisplayWordJaNein
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string yourSentence;
string yourWord;

yourSentence = textBox1.Text;
yourWord = textBox2.Text;

if (string.Equals(yourSentence,yourWord))
{
label4.Text="Word Found!";
}
else
{
label4.Text="The word could not be found.";
}

Well, google will perhaps help you in finding things in strings. There are a number of options you could use..

Look up the members of the String class.
From the code I see you use some Visual Studio.
In the menubar you will find something called "Help"
Click on it and choose Search. In the window that appears type String members
You will find what you where looking for.

Take a look at string.Contains() or string.Compare() instead of string.Equals(). You will also need to address the casing of the word (uppercase, lowercase).

Hi

I was able to find it. But my next problem is: I would like it that it will also accept the UPPERCASE or LOWERCASE letters if I type in the "enter word to compare".

So that means if I write in the first box like:

This is my sentence

And I'll write in my second box like:
SENTENCE,

that it wil also determine that way.
Is that posible?
Coz in my code, I wrote the big letters SENTENCE but then it didn't find the word.
Shall I make another method for that?
Thanks again

namespace DisplayWordJaNein
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string yourSentence;
string yourWord;


yourSentence = textBox1.Text;
yourWord = textBox2.Text;


if (yourSentence.Contains(yourWord))
{
label4.Text = "Word Found! / ";
}
else
{
label4.Text="The word could not be found.";
}
}

then convert the strings to the same casing and test after.

hmm where shall I type this command,
convert strings?
is it under the if method?
thanks

Hi again,

ok I tried this one, but then it displays the word if I write the word. But the bug is if I only write a letter which a word has, it also displays "Word Found"

I would like that it will only determine the word not the characters.

In this program:
if I type on the first box:
This is my sentence

and type on the 2nd box:
sentence

it will give a result of word found

but then if i type in the first box:
s

it will give a result of word found.
any suggestions?

thanks




if (yourSentence.Contains(yourWord.ToLower()))
{

label4.Text = "Word Found! / ";

}
else
{
label4.Text="The word could not be found.";
}
