Hello,
I have a line of code like: Filenameonly2 = line
I get a result like:
When I do messagebox.show ( Filenameonly2 ) I get:
16 DIVIDENDS SAME DAY D_5011R.08 20171128
But I would like to have this as:
16_DIVIDENDS_SAME_DAY_D_5011R.08_20171128
I have tried with:
Filenameonly2 = line.replace(" ","_") but instead of getting the above I get:
16_DIVIDENDS_SAME_DAY_______________D_5011R.08______________20171128
Can you please help?

Step 1: replace multiple concurrent spaces with a single space.
Step 2: replace single spaces with an underscore.

Step 2: replace single spaces with an underscore.
Unfortunately it seems not to work.
I have done line:
Filenameonly2 = (line.Replace(" ", " "));
Filenameonly2 = (line.Replace(" ", "_"));
//Filenameonly2 = ((line.TrimStart().Replace(" ", "_")).Replace("#", ""));
MessageBox.Show(Filenameonly2);
I still get the same:
16_DIVIDENDS_SAME_DAY_______________D_5011R.08______________20171128

Sorry. My bad:
Filenameonly2 = (line.Replace(" ", " "));
Filenameonly2 = (Filenameonly2.Replace(" ", "_"));
But it still not works...
I still get
16_DIVIDENDS_SAME_DAY_______D_5011R.08_______20171128
Initially I was getting
16_DIVIDENDS_SAME_DAY________________________D_5011R.08_____________________20171128
Now I am getting:
16_DIVIDENDS_SAME_DAY_______D_5011R.08_______20171128

Your logic for replacing multiple spaces is flawed. Take a read here, for example.

I have changed to this:
Filenameonly2 = line.Replace(" ", "()").Replace(")(", "").Replace("()", " ");
Filenameonly2 = Filenameonly2.Replace(" ", "_");
Filenameonly2 = Filenameonly2.Replace("#_", "");
It is working now.

Now I have another challange. Maybe you can also help me with this.
After I get that line (which I use to set as the new file name , I move into the next lines. The next lines will be stored inside a excel file as columns.
They are as following:

# 53 5 Years ADPS Growth Rate 5_years_ADPS_growth_rate N 10 3
# 54 Payout Ratio payout_ratio N 10 3
What I want is transfor this (pivot) into column names that I will latelly store in the excel file.
Each of the above is a column, but only the word in the middle. For example:
# 54 Payout Ratio payout_ratio N 10 3 --> Column name is payout_ratio
or (as another example:
# 1 Calculation Date calc_date D 8 0 --> Column name is calc_date
How can I get from every line just the middle word and then pivot to store it as column names ?

I think the way is to say that column is equal to subctring 39 to 70 (and replace white spaces) . This way we always catch the midle word

Well, I can think of three ways off the top of my head, assuming I understand what you're asking for...
Assuming the field name always contains a "_" (and is the only part of the string that does)...
1) Find the position of the space prior to the first "_" in the string
2) Find the position of the space following the last "_" in the string
3) Take substring starting at [first space + 1] to [last space -1]
Or, if the list of expected field names is fixed and known ahead of time, have a "lookup table" containing the field name values you expect to find and search each string for each expected field name value. Loop through each search string and for each loop through your field names, seeing if the expected field name value is contained in the string until you either find the field name in one of the search strings, or you don't. Won't work if your field names change though, unless you know ahead of times what the expected field names will be.
Or, for each string value, split the string on spaces (into an array/list), and then (again, if field name is the only one with a "_" character), search each piece array until you find the string in the array with a "_", and that's your field name.
None of these is terribly efficient but they are pretty easy to code up and if your data are small then it should be fine.
