that chr 34 is the most annoying bit of code i have ever had to put in...

[anass2008]

Sorry for that :D the Chr34 is the " and the part that we need has a lot of these

Hey, this works great except for me..

I have made a media player and the listbox has the safe file name. Basically, I can get it to search with the name of the file selected in the list box, but the safe file name searches with the extension (.mp3). Can I get it to search all of the text but exclude what ever comes after the dot?

[anass2008]

you can get the file name without the extension which comes after the dot using this code

dim fn as string

fn = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtensi­on(fileName)

and of course replace "filename" with the file location

but this may not work good with this tutorial as the file name may contain characters not in the song title, so you can use the ID3 tags to get the exact song title, search on google for "id3 in vb.net".

@anass2008 Many thanks for your superb answer!

[anass2008]

i was trying to do that but each time i forget a quote or add an extra one, so i was getting an error each time, i got bored and used Chr(34) instead, anyways thnx a lot

If you want to use the character " in a string, don't end the string and attach Chr(34) to it. Just write "" in the string. A double quot is a quot.
