[2008] StreamReader To StreamWriter?
Jan 19, 2009I have this code to send all line of a txt file to a listbox (StreamReader).
Dim sr As New IO.StreamReader("Items.txt")
Do Until sr.EndOfStream
lstItens.Items.Add(sr.ReadLine)

I'm creating a text file and, among other things, I need to write the text of the parent and child nodes of a TreeView to the file. I know how to write the contents and read them just fine, but what I can't seem to figure out is how to write the contents if I don't know how many parent nodes or child nodes there are. When I do, I usually do the following:

I made my own advanced networking system which uses System.IO.Streamwriter and Streamreader but offline. I would like to let this use a directory online, I have a webhost available for that, now how do I say to the program it has to look at a specific map with all the users information?
I now have already this into my login form:

I am using streamreader and streamwriter to read a text file , change the text, then write to the same text file. This all happens in a loop every second or so.Currently I use:
Dim csetpointfileread As New System.IO.StreamReader("C:webcsetpoint.txt")and Dim csetpointfile As New System.IO.StreamWriter("c:webcsetpoint.txt", False)before every file read / write operation, it gets dimensioned every loop. To me this seems like a waste, and should only have to be dimentioned once. If I try to run both statements in the beginning, outside of the loop, the second statement wont work because the "file is allready open". Am I missing something or am I doing it correctly to begin with?
I am writing a click event to delete an item selected from a list view which will utlimately be deleted from the csv file the information is coming from.Currently I am having streamreader read each line and then replace the selected line with a blank line. This creates blank lines in my csv files. Is there a way to delete a line using sr or sw without creating blank lines?Or is there a way to have them read/write a file skipping any empty lines?

To automate mailmerge function in word, i need to join different elements to complete the mailmergedatasource. In one of these file are words with special characters like ©, §,¨, .... When openng these files for reading, streamreader transfoms the characters to unreadable signs. When i give a type to use to open like ASCII, Unicode,it works for one or tho characters but not for all. I have the same problem when the character is read correctly, with streamwriter output to a textfile. Word cannot read the textfile and ask to define which type of coding should be used. In most of the cases not all the characters can be converted to readable characters.
View 8 RepliesIn my code I've allowed used to create their own mazes and save them, under whatever name they like. I've also included a few pre-created mazes. The mazes themselves are saves in .txt files in the bin/debug folder of the project, along with a .txt file containing the maze names.
I really need to publish this program to send it to my teacher, but when I publish it it doesn't include any of the .txt files in my bin/debug folder.
I am trying to use filestream and streamwriter / streamreader to have a simple text box where the text entered is written to a text file, and then a button can be clicked to read the file and present the text back to the textbox. It works, but the problem I'm having is that if i change the text to something smaller in length (less text) than what is currently in the file, then press the button to read the file, it still contains some of the old text that was previously in the file.
Dim strmReadFile As New FileStream(txtPath.Text, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read)
Dim readHandle As New StreamReader(strmReadFile)
'read the entire text, and set it to a string
Dim streamFileContents As String = readHandle.ReadToEnd()

Not sure what to use or how to use it. But I would like either streamreader or streamwriter to ignore a line depending on it contents.

I am taking in two html files and creating one out of them. To do this I am opening the first html file and not writing out the closing </body> and </html> tag and opening the second file and not writing out the corresponding opening tags, as well as the <style></style>section. I start a streamwriter, and write the lines out to it, and then close the streamwriter. My problem is that the output file is filled with strange characters. I've tried opening the streamwriter with different character sets as the third parm, but all this does is change the characters to different strange characters.It says charset=windows-1252 at the tops of the input files (and the output files for that matter - since I'm just reading stuff in and writing it out - with the exceptions mentioned above).Questions;First, do you think I am properly approaching appending two .htm files together?Second, how can I eliminate these strange characters.

I have a problem with a streamreader in visual basic 2008.I am updating a database from text files on an ftp server. The streamreader works fine until the file is more than 100,000 bytes long.It reads until it reaches this point and then just ends. No error message, it just reads to this point which happens to be 2 fields out of 6 in the database stream. My question is - does the streamreader have a limit? And if so what is a workaround?

conn = New SqlCeConnection(connString)

I'm writing a program that basically loads an entire text file into a streamreader variable, then reads this variable line by line and parses and writes a line into a new text file. I'm VERY new and my knowledge is mostly self-taught, but I can't seem to get out of this one. It works for smaller files, but it appears to reach a limit in characters at some point because in a file of 900 lines, it stops writing about halfway through 800 and there are no errors, the program actually completes and the message box pops up.
There are a few things with this code I already know I should fix, such as creating the new text file name, it's messy, I just don't know how.

Basically all I need is my program to write a character(Ex: "1") in a certain position specified by me in a line in a textbox.
So so far my code is:

sw.Write()
And all i need to know is how i pick the position that the .write function writes.

Basically this is a function I call during the program booting and it creates the necessary directory and also the LOGIN.CYS file empty... then later data can be added.My issue is that it keeps adding a line to the .cys (which is a .txt file) but I just want VB to create a plain text file with no content inside...
When there's no file path in the streamwriter constructor does anyone know the location the file gets output to?
Dim sw as StreamWriter = new Streamwriter("test.txt")sw.close
I am coming across a lot of odd and annoying problems in this program and have almost had enough lol.
I cannot figure this one out for the life of me. I have used streamwriter a hell of alot of times and never once experienced this. But basically I have a string array and I need to write the entire array to a text file with a new line for each array item. So I have gone ahead and done this:
[Code]...
However the outcome is the text file only contains 1 line and that line is the last item in the array yet I know the array has got at least 50 items in it.
Okay, this actually relates to some work I'm doing that I already have something in place. So if a change is necessary down the road, I'm in no hurry... But I did a dangerous thing and began reading. As I began reading about ways to stream file data, I became curious as to when it is a good idea to one method or the other.

I'm trying to do a simple loop while reading a file. I have tried to make the streamreader as a public value, so this way it would be passed between the subs, or rather changed by each sub working with it. The problems comes into play, when I double click the read button, since the value of sr is assigned to -1 after the first full read, so the program doesn't read the data from begging but assumes the end of the file and stops. Is there any way to reassign or reset the value of sr so that the file will be read again from the beginning? This is the example code I got.
Public Class formcollegetut
Public sr As IO.StreamReader = IO.File.OpenText("colleges.txt")
Private Sub btnDisplay_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDisplay.Click
Dim test As String = ""
Do While sr.Peek <> -1

I am using the Streamwriter to send simple messages to other machines in my office. But i hit across a problem today which i never thought about. If the computer im sending the message to, doesn't have the listener running, the sender crashes out. Is there anyway to trap the error, and deal with it nicely (i.e a message box) instead of the app quiting?
View 3 RepliesI'm getting a problem when writing text files using StreamWriter. The files read fine and they write fine if I'm not overwriting an existing file. They also write ok as long as I'm not writing over a file that only has one digit at the end of the name. For some reason when there are 2 digits at the end it crashes when I'm trying to save over an already existing text file. Here's my code.
StringForTextFile = "C:" & Folder4PS & "" & IDCodewDashOrN & "Series" & Series & "ScreenNumber" & ScreenNumber & ".txt"
LblTesting.Visible = True ' Testing
LblTesting.Text = "StringForTextFile = " & StringForTextFile
[code]....
above but 've tried all the different Encoding possibilites. Unicode, UTF32, UTF8, UTF7 as well as without those parameters listed where the close parentheses is right after StringForTextFile. I get the same result. If I'm writing a new text file that doesn't exist, then no problem or if I'm writing over an existing text file but it has 0 to 9 at the end then I'm ok but if I'm writing over an existing file and there is 10 or above(haven't tried triple digits or all values) then my application crashes. You see the test label in the code above because I was looking at exactly what file it was trying to overwrite and it is just as it should be.
Should I be using a different procedure? An example of a string that would cause a crash for the string StringForTextFile would be:
C:Name of My AppSeries1ScreenNumber10.txt
If it was being written for the first time then no problem or if the 10 at the end was 0 to 9 then no problem also. I've also tried and originally had it set up where there wasn't an If File.Exists(StringForTextFile) = True Then statement. It just always used the same code whether writing or overwriting and I wasn't having a problem that I remember. For some reason I started having a problem recently and I put the alternate methods of writing in.
I have a problem with an application I have written. To keep it simple, it does heavy math calculations. If the results meet a specific criteria, it is written to a text file on a line-line-basis.The problems is, if I go look at the data files, I will find non-numeric symbols mixed in with the numbers. Sometimes it is a question mark, "?". Other times, it is control or extended characters that Notepad or Wordpad cannot display. They can be mixed into the numbers, like so: 215x7 or 8948x, where "x" is the odd character. I thought the problem may have been my use of "DataFile.Flush". I removed that, but still have the corruption.
Below are my declarations and code fragments:
Dim Number as ULong
Dim DataFile As System.IO.StreamWriter
DataFile = My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFileWriter(FilePath & fName, False)
DataFile.WriteLine(Number)
The first time I had a problem, I thought it was my use of "Cstr()" in the WriteLine statement, with "Flush" as I stated above.I do not know if this is a situation internal to VB2008, or external, like hard drive buffers writing.
So I made an irc client that connects, sends commands, joins a channel etc perfectly. But I can't figure out how to use streamreader to read the data that the server is saying to me, or actually read what others are saying in channel.By the way, I used TCP client.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to create a program that has the following aspects:2 combo boxes each containg a list of seven cities (both combo boxes have the same cities listed in them)text file containing distances to each city from one another eg if southampton is selected in one combo box and london in the other it will call 164 from the text file this means that each city needs to relate to a certain row or column number depending on the line in which the data is held in the text file. Here is what i have so far code wise:
Private Sub frmDistance_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim rowcolumn(7, 7) As Integer
Dim sr As IO.StreamReader = IO.File.OpenText("Distance.Txt")
Dim row, col As Integer

the problem is where i have the if statements that i have coloured red if i select southampton and london it will only display southampton to cardiff.
