POCreating an "Index" report based on user entered text - VB 2010
text
Body
copied!<p>I have been instructed with what I would call creating an Index.</p> <p>Basically, the user is expected to be able to right some text in an empty text box. At the click of a button, the output is expected to show an alphabetically sorted list of the words entered, as well as a line number at which they appear.</p> <p>so for example:</p> <p>One fish <br> two fish <br> red fish <br> blue fish. <br> <br> Black fish<br> blue fish <br> old fish <br> new fish. <br> <br> This one has <br> a little star. <br> <br> This one has a little car.<br> Say! What a lot <br> of fish there are. </p> <p>A 12, 14, 15 <br> ARE 16 <br> BLACK 6 <br> BLUE 4, 7 <br> CAR 14 <br> FISH 1, 2, 3, 4, <br> HAS 11, 14 <br> LITTLE 12, 14 <br> LOT 15 <br> NEW 9 <br> OF 16 <br> OLD 8 <br> ONE 1, 11, 14 <br> RED 3 <br> SAY 15 <br> STAR 12 <br> THERE 16 <br> THIS 11, 14 <br> TWO 2 <br> WHAT 15 <br></p> <p>This text was used with reference from a Java document for creating an Index and I followed it through and the expectations are the same as mine, just in another language. </p> <p>I'm working on paper at the minute to work out an algorithm but I'm getting a little frustrated with my efforts!</p> <p>A couple of more requirements:</p> <p>The maximum amount of line number occurrences is 4 so even if a word occurs on 10 different lines, it should only be referenced 4 times</p> <p>Grammar must be ignored so words which contain !.,? must be removed Words which are spelt :HeLlO must be spelt: hello</p> <p>Thank you in advanced for the help</p>
