ok here is my problem.

i have a IRC Client that i am working on. Everything works great cept one thing.
Im having trouble when a line is append("")ed to the richtextbox control.

here is the idea.

say, the Appended line contains ("Hey you guys, where did Bob go?")

now let say i wanted to just Find() words in that last line.
(Not the whole richtextbox) - this lags after about 75 lines.

lets say the words i want to Find() are: guys, where, & Bob.

any ideas?

You could try by isolating the last line of the RichTextBox, like so:

Code: Select all

Dim lastLine As String
Dim rtbLines As Integer = RichTextBox1.Lines.Length

lastLine = RichTextBox1.Lines(rtbLines - 1)

Then you could use the Find() function on lastLine cooll;

Try this

Code: Select all

For Each fMatch As Match In Regex.Matches(RichTextBox1.Lines(RichTextBox1.Lines.Length - 1), "\b(guys|where|Bob)\b")
            MessageBox.Show(fMatch.Value)
        Next

You can add as many words as you want.
