Makes Twisted Text, Kinda Like Scrambled

I needed a routine to display the difference between two dates in year month day format. I found a couple here on pcs and another on a different site. Here is a project to call the three routines and display their results side by side. In case your wondering about Datediff it returns the number of times the year, month or whatever has changed between the two date. i.e. it returns 1 when from is dec 31 yyyy and to is jan 1 yyyy+1. Anyway here are three routines, two of them worked in all the test conditions I tried, the other gets a wild hair up it rear every once in a while. Louis Boldt 2/16/02

I looked on this site to find something like this, but i didnt find exactly what i wanted. Here is the source that i created that takes random characters from a text box and places them in a label. It takes a user defined amount of characters including spaces and periods and everything else. =) UPDATED AGAIN!! Now has added features! Can count characters and vowels and words etc! If you know a better way to do this, please email me. This type of program can be used for fortunes, making up new words, choosing usernames(i actually know somebody that did this with a similar program), etc. PLEASE VOTE!!!

This code demonstrates how to search a string using a web search engine style query. With this code you can analyze text files looking for specific patterns. For example: (Microsoft and AOL) or "instant messenger" This query will analyze any string for the occurrence of the words Microsoft and AOL or "instant messenger". I use this code (in conjunction with other code) to scan the users hard drive for occurrences of text files that meet the user defined search parameters. This is an enhanced version of the search for files containing text feature in windows.

The zip includes an Expression Parser Class that parses and computes mathematical expressions (such as "-pi * sin(50 + 3 * 4) / -3"), and a demo client application. The parser supports built-in and user defined constants and built-in functions. Also, it demonstrates a variety of error-handling and VB tricks.
