c# Windows Form, replace string in textbox (file content) with another string

I have a textbox that contains all of the lines of a loaded file.
It looks like this:
I am able to load a specific line of the file that contains a specific string using this in the app:
How would I be able to update the file/main textbox after I press the "Edit Module" button, if any of the textboxes would be changed .
For example, I would change Exam Weighting: "0.4" to Exam Weighting: "0.6", then press the "Edit Module" button which would edit the main textbox(file content). Which then would allow me to save the file with the updated content.
This is the code I am using to get a specific line from the file based on string from a textbox:
private void editModuleButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
citation = editModuleComboBox.Text;
citationChange();
}
private void citationChange()
{
List<string> matchedList = new List<string>();
string[] linesArr = File.ReadAllLines(fileName);
//find matches
foreach (string s in linesArr)
{
if (s.Contains(citation))
{
matchedList.Add(s); //matched
}
}
//output
foreach (string s in matchedList)
{
string citationLine = s;
string[] lineData = citationLine.Split(',');
selectedModuleLabel.Text = lineData[2];
moduleTitleTextBox.Text = lineData[3];
creditsTextBox.Text = lineData[4];
semesterTextBox.Text = lineData[5];
examWeightingTextBox.Text = lineData[6];
examMarkTextBox.Text = lineData[7];
testWeightingTextBox.Text = lineData[8];
testMarkTextBox.Text = lineData[9];
courseworkWeightingTextBox.Text = lineData[10];
courseworkMarkTexbox.Text = lineData[11];
}
}
If somebody with enough rep could insert the images to this post, that would be great. Thanks

This solution might not be the perfect, but should work for you. What you need to do is whenever the Edit Module button is pressed, create a new string based on the text fields and replace it with the original line. First declare a string variable private string ChangedString = ""; inside the class, then:
foreach (string s in matchedList)
{
string citationLine = s;
string[] lineData = citationLine.Split(',');
string Stream = lineData[0]; //Store this somewhere so that it can be accessed later
string Stage = lineData[1]; //Store this somewhere so that it can be accessed later
selectedModuleLabel.Text = lineData[2];
moduleTitleTextBox.Text = lineData[3];
creditsTextBox.Text = lineData[4];
semesterTextBox.Text = lineData[5];
examWeightingTextBox.Text = lineData[6];
examMarkTextBox.Text = lineData[7];
testWeightingTextBox.Text = lineData[8];
testMarkTextBox.Text = lineData[9];
courseworkWeightingTextBox.Text = lineData[10];
courseworkMarkTexbox.Text = lineData[11];
}
store Stream and Stage in any Textbox/ComboBox if you already haven't then replace them accordingly in the following line. Now in EditButton_Click [Click Event] write:
ChangedString = Stream + "," + Stage + "," + selectedModuleLabel.Text + "," + moduleTitleTextBox.Text
+ "," + creditsTextBox.Text + "," + semesterTextBox.Text + "," + examWeightingTextBox.Text + ","
+ examMarkTextBox.Text + "," + courseworkWeightingTextBox.Text + "," + courseworkMarkTexbox.Text;
Now replace this string with the original line.
Edit: As you would get the line number which is being edited, store it in a variable, let's say
int LineBeingEdited = 3 //Supposing line number three is being edited.
Then again in the same Click event you can write this:
ChangedString = Stream + "," + Stage + "," + selectedModuleLabel.Text + "," + moduleTitleTextBox.Text
+ "," + creditsTextBox.Text + "," + semesterTextBox.Text + "," + examWeightingTextBox.Text + ","
+ examMarkTextBox.Text + "," + courseworkWeightingTextBox.Text + "," + courseworkMarkTexbox.Text;
var lines = TextBox1.Lines;
lines[LineBeingEdited] = ChangedString;
TextBox1.Lines = lines;
EDIT 2: To get the line number I would suggest you to modify your for each loop to for loop. Also add a int variable to store the line number inside the class like : private int LineBeingEdited = 0;
Modify this for each :
foreach (string s in linesArr)
{
if (s.Contains(citation))
{
matchedList.Add(s); //matched
}
}
To for loop:
for (int a = 0; a < linesArr.Length; a++)
{
if (s.Contains(citation))
{
matchedList.Add(linesArr[a]); //matched
LineBeingEdited = a;
break; //breaks the loop when a match is found
}
}
The above method is being used, taking into consideration that there will always be a single match. LineBeingEdited will now have the line number and can be accessed from anywhere in the class

Add pause to Alexa without using SSML

Is there a way to add a pause (preferably 1 second) in Amazon Alexa without using SSML? Perhaps there is a trick I can do with the Outputspeech.Text and I just don't know it.
Below, I am saying "Here are works of art by {artist name}" but the name and the start of the works of art become mixed together - in spite of the period - so I end up with things like "Here are the works of art by Pablo Picasso Harlequin..."
I am using C# and my own https endpoint, not AWS Lambda.
Any suggestions? Otherwise I will add it as SSML. Thanks.
var output = new StringBuilder();
var outputCard = new StringBuilder();
string m_location;
string m_current_location;
string m_artist = dt_artist.Rows[0]["DisplayName"].ToString();
output.Append("here are works of art for " + m_artist + ". ");
outputCard.Append("Here are works of art for " + m_artist + ".\n\n");
foreach (DataRow dr in dt_artist_objs.Rows)
{
m_current_location = dr["CurrentLocation"].ToString();
if (m_current_location == " ")
{
m_location = "The location is not available.";
}
else
{
m_location = "It is located on the " + m_current_location;
}
output.Append(dr["Title"].ToString() + " is a " + dr["Classification"].ToString() + ". The medium is " + dr["Medium"].ToString() + ". " + m_location);
outputCard.Append(dr["Title"].ToString() + ", " + dr["Dated"].ToString() + " is a " + dr["Classification"].ToString() + ". The medium is " + dr["Medium"].ToString() + ". " + dr["Creditline"].ToString() + ". " + m_location + ".\n"); // It is located on the " + dr["CurrentLocation"].ToString());
}
sql_conn_data.Close();
response.Response.OutputSpeech.Text = output.ToString();
response.Response.Card.Title = "Art";
response.Response.Card.Type = "Standard";
response.Response.Card.Text = outputCard.ToString();
response.Response.ShouldEndSession = true;
return response;
UPDATE
OK. Ended up going the SSML route which looks like this:
var output = new StringBuilder();
var outputCard = new StringBuilder();
string m_location;
string m_current_location;
string m_location_card;
string m_artist = dt_artist.Rows[0]["DisplayName"].ToString();
output.Append("<speak>");
output.Append("here are works of art for " + m_artist + ". <break time='1s'/> ");
outputCard.Append("Here are works of art for " + m_artist + ".\n\n");
foreach (DataRow dr in dt_artist_objs.Rows)
{
m_current_location = dr["CurrentLocation"].ToString();
if (m_current_location == " ")
{
m_location = "The location is not available. <break time='1s' />";
m_location_card = "The location is not available. ";
}
else
{
m_location = "It is located on the " + m_current_location + "<break time = '1s' />";
m_location_card = "It is located on the " + m_current_location;
}
output.Append(dr["Title"].ToString() + " is a " + dr["Classification"].ToString() + ". The medium is " + dr["Medium"].ToString() + ". " + m_location);
outputCard.Append(dr["Title"].ToString() + ", " + dr["Dated"].ToString() + " is a " + dr["Classification"].ToString() + ". The medium is " + dr["Medium"].ToString() + ". " + dr["Creditline"].ToString() + ". " + m_location_card + ". \n");
}
output.Append("</speak>");
sql_conn_data.Close();
response.Response.OutputSpeech.Ssml = output.ToString();
response.Response.OutputSpeech.Type = "SSML";
response.Response.Card.Title = "Art";
response.Response.Card.Type = "Standard";
response.Response.Card.Text = outputCard.ToString();
response.Response.ShouldEndSession = true;
return response;
}

There is not a way to introduce a pause in Alexa without SSML. You will need to build the ssml string and return it back to Alexa using the pause, or the cadence strings.

Creating a hash in Realex payments

I need to update the Expiry Date and update the Cardholder Name on an existing card in Realex payments.
The hash value syntax should be in the following format:
Timestamp.merchantID.payerref.ref.expirydate.cardnumber
And here is an example of how it should look
20030516175919.yourmerchantid.mypayer.card01.1015.
When I run the following method I get the error:
"sha1hash incorrect - check your code and the Developers Documentation"
private string ReturnHash(string timeStamp, string merchantId, string payerRef, string reference, string expDate, string cardNum )
{
SHA1 hash = new SHA1Managed();
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
builder.Append(timeStamp).Append(".");
builder.Append(merchantId).Append(".");
builder.Append(payerRef).Append(".");
builder.Append(reference).Append(".");
builder.Append(expDate).Append(".");
builder.Append(cardNum );
string resultingHash = BitConverter.ToString(hash.ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(builder.ToString())));
resultingHash = BitConverter.ToString(hash.ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(resultingHash)));
return resultingHash;
}
What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for your message.
Could you try before running this line of code:
string resultingHash = BitConverter.ToString(hash.ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(builder.ToString())));
To make "resultingHash" all lowercase?
Also before running:
resultingHash = BitConverter.ToString(hash.ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(resultingHash)));
make "resultingHash" to lowercase as well.
Thanks,
Borja

response redirect makes session_end in global asax

I am getting frustrated due to the session become null.When I click on save button I save the data to DB from code behind and if this successfully I am redirecting the user to the main projects page,using syntax:
Response.Redirect("~/Admin/Projects.aspx?i=esc&prjName=abc",'false');
but its make my session null.Its goes to Globex.asax page ang executes the Session_End and make all session null.
I even tried Server.Transfer but by this the browser url remains same and client doesn't want this.Even some where I read that the Server.Execute is also used to redirect but it is showing some wrong results.
can I use the Response.Redirect without this session null problem ??
(In this page I am creating the text file to store some long description and if this is successful then I am redirecting to the another page.)
Update::
here is my code for button click

Before you redirect to the next page,
assign the existing session value in the button click event also.
This would solve the problem.

hope this will be helpful to you,
ASP.NET Session becomes null after postback on local
This think your problem is related to some kind of permission denial, which is nulling your session.

There must be a problem in creating or saving the text file.
This may be making Session_End call so you are getting all values null.

JavaScript Google map marker bug

I'm currently working on an ASP.NET project where I'm using the Google Maps API to show a marker for every company that's registrated in the database.
Everything works just fine, but when I click on a marker the tooltip/dialogbox for the last company in my company list always shows up and not the actualy company mark that's been clicked on.
I can't really get my head around why it is always the last marker that shows up. Here's my updated code:
JavaScript.Text = #"<script type='text/javascript'>
function load() {
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById('map'));
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(56.4, 10.57983), 9);
map.enableScrollWheelZoom();
}
}
</script> ";
foreach (MemberProfile m in relatedMembers)
{
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
string address = m.Address;
string zip = m.Zip;
string city = m.City;
string navn = m.Name;
string tlf = m.Phone;
doc.Load("http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=" + zip + "+" + city + "+" + address + "+DK&sensor=true&key=ABQIAAAAEaY4JLb9fZFGMlDKuMUlWBRSvyGIkBO7X03pzlT7Z30EPXHR8BS0rXL_ShFm2gc79lZTw2Zak88wng");
XmlNode latNode = doc.SelectSingleNode("GeocodeResponse/result/geometry/location/lat/text()");
XmlNode lonNode = doc.SelectSingleNode("GeocodeResponse/result/geometry/location/lng/text()");
if (latNode != null && lonNode != null)
{
JSAddMarkers.Text += #"<script type='text/javascript'>
var marker = new GMarker(new GLatLng(" + latNode.Value + "," + lonNode.Value + ")); "
+ "var html = '<b>" + navn + "</b><br />" + address + "<br /> " + zip + " " + city + "<br />" + tlf + "'; " + "GEvent.addListener(marker, 'click', function() { marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html); });"
+ "map.addOverlay(marker);"
+ "</script>";
}
If any of you out there can spot the reason why, I would be happy to hear from you! Any help/hint is appreciated :-)
All the best,
Bo

try this
var point =new GLatLng(" + latNode.Value + "," + lonNode.Value + ");
var marker = createMarker(point, address,zip,city,navn);
map.addOverlay(marker);
function createMarker(point, address, zip,city, navn) {
var marker = new GMarker(point, customIcons[type]);
var html = "Address:<b style='padding-left:6px'>" + address+ "</b><br/>zip:<b style='padding-left:6px'>"+ zip+ "</b><br/>city:<b style='padding-left:6px'>"+ city+ "</b>";
GEvent.addListener(marker, 'mouseover', function() {
marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html);
});
GEvent.addListener(marker, "mouseout", function() {
marker.closeInfoWindow();
});
return marker;
}
