php code to vb.net or c#?

[dhernando]

Hi Guys,

 

This is my first post and I need some help  :-\

 

I want to post this to see if anyone can help me, I need to convert a php function into vb.net or C# but I have no idea, here's the function:

 

echo spin('{an {option|choice|right}|the basic} element {more|another|else}');

function spin($s){
preg_match('#\{(.+?)\}#is',$s,$m);
if(empty($m)) return $s;

$t = $m[1];

if(strpos($t,'{')!==false){
	$t = substr($t, strrpos($t,'{') + 1);
}

$parts = explode("|", $t);
$s = preg_replace("+\{".preg_quote($t)."\}+is", $parts[array_rand($parts)], $s, 1);

return spin($s);
}

 

I don't mind to move the question to a type of project(to paid you) if you know the answer.

 

Thanks,

 

Diego

well C# has a RegExp library and string functions that act much like strpos() (.indexAt() i think, or .indexOf()) etc. You can also use the split function on a string object in C# much like you use the explode function:

string astring = "RAWR|RAWR";
string[] pieces = pieces.Split(new string[] { "|" },
            StringSplitOptions.None)

will result in pieces containing the different elements corresponding to the astring string. This should get you started
