The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

help with partial line extraction

Asked by prostang in Visual Basic Programming, Microsoft Visual Basic.Net

Tags:

I have begun to fiddle (that's about what I am doing right now) with VB2005.  I am writing an app that will do a number of things.  I have a function that I am opening a file and reading the contents.  I wish to find the rest of the line that begins with "WCI_Client = ".  I can get the function to give me everything after the line, but I get the rest of the document which may be 2-3 dozen after that line.  I am attaching my code to kind of explain what I have.  I just need the text at the end of the line.

WCI_Client = blahblahblah

I need the blahblahblah.  The number of characters in the line will vary depending on the file opened.
Thanks.Start Free Trial
