Question

How can I find words like and, or, to, a, no, with, for etc. in a sentence using VB.NET and remove them. Also where can I find all words list like above.

Answer 1

Note that unless you use Regex word boundaries you risk falling afoul of the Scunthorpe (Sfannythorpe) problem.

string pattern = @"\band\b";
Regex re = new Regex(pattern);

string input = "a band loves and its fans";

string output = re.Replace(input, "");  // a band loves  its fans

Notice the ‘and’ in ‘band’ is untouched.
