strings and characters

reggie lazaro

Hi. I would like to know the steps to make the text (automatically) of the fifth word in any given sentence (assuming sentences have more than five or more words) to be in italic form by counting characters or strings (making the first character as the starting point). I have no knowledge about programming, please explain the steps in layman's terms. Thanks.

You are right Sam - updated code
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
loadTxt();
}

public void loadTxt()
{
richTextBox1.Text = "change the chars to italic so the chars to are not regular";
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
richTextBox1.Select(richTextBox1.Text.IndexOf("italic"), "italic".Length);
richTextBox1.SelectionFont = new Font(richTextBox1.Font, FontStyle.Italic);
richTextBox1.SelectionStart = richTextBox1.Text.Length;
richTextBox1.SelectionLength = 0;

}

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
richTextBox1.SaveFile("test.rtf");
}

private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
richTextBox1.Text = string.Empty;
richTextBox1.LoadFile("test.rtf");
}

private void button4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
richTextBox1.Text = string.Empty;
}

private void button5_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string[] str = richTextBox1.Text.Split(' ');
int count = 1;
foreach ( string s in str)
{
if (count==5)
{
richTextBox1.Select(richTextBox1.Text.IndexOf(s), s.Length);
richTextBox1.SelectionFont = new Font(richTextBox1.Font, FontStyle.Italic);
richTextBox1.SelectionStart = richTextBox1.Text.Length;
richTextBox1.SelectionLength = 0;
count = 0;
}
count++;
}

}
}

Frogleg, am I correct that your code will italicize the word "italic" wherever it is found (once) instead of the fifth word? As far as I know it does not matter except I think it would help Reggie to know what the sample is a sample of.

I see this is a duplicate question of one that I posted a reply to. For the future, please don't post the same question more than once at the same time.

Using a richtextbox

namespace FifthWord
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{

public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
loadTxt();
}

public void loadTxt()
{
richTextBox1.Text = "change the chars to italic";
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
richTextBox1.Select(richTextBox1.Text.IndexOf("italic"), "italic".Length);
richTextBox1.SelectionFont = new Font(richTextBox1.Font, FontStyle.Italic);
richTextBox1.SelectionStart = richTextBox1.Text.Length;
richTextBox1.SelectionLength = 0;

}

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
richTextBox1.SaveFile("test.rtf");
}

private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
richTextBox1.Text = string.Empty;
richTextBox1.LoadFile("test.rtf");
}

private void button4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
richTextBox1.Text = string.Empty;
}
}
}
