Been googling for an hour and can't seem to find the answer. The following will remove "stupid" and prints out "hello world"
Dim arr As Variant: arr = Array("hello", "stupid", "world")
Dim newArr As Variant: newArr = Filter(arr, "stupid", False)
Debug.Print Join(newArr, " ")
What is the VB.Net equivalent for Filter? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Edit: (I'm looking for a 2.0 NET Framework solution)
Something like this perhaps (Assumes VB 10):
Dim arr As String() = {"hello", "stupid", "world"}
Dim filteredArray = (from s in arr
Where s <> "stupid"
Select s).ToArray()
An alternative is to use Except (which is available in .Net 3.5):
Dim words As String() = {"hello", "stupid", "world"}
Dim excludedWords As String() = {"stupid"}
Dim filteredArray = words.Except(excludedWords).ToArray()
For .NET 2.0 you can use the Array.FindAll method, like this:
Dim arr As String() = New String() {"hello", "stupid", "world"}
Dim newArr As String() = Array.FindAll(arr, AddressOf RemoveElements)
Using this predicate:
Private Shared Function RemoveElements(ByVal s As String) As Boolean
Return Not s.Equals("stupid")
End Function
