What I want to do is have the program search the files and delete all files that have a duplicate with a number behind it... Now I would use windows search but some of the songs are like 1001.mp3 or 1001 1.mp3... I want it to look like this when i get done (from the above):

that part I have down my only issue is, is that the "current line" has filenames with in it that change constently i would like to be able to do something like a string with wildcards in it : "<currentline>src=""*""/>" but this does not seem to work Do i need to do an index with conditions or is there a different way if i do need to do an index how would i go about doing that in vb .net for studio 2008
I am using a database in Visual Basic 2010 displayed through a DataGridView. Through the DataGridView's "add query" option, I am writing these queries. My goal is to have partial search entries show up (ie if the entry is "Lewis" then it should be among the entries returned if "Le" is in the textbox.)
SELECT * FROM Table WHERE Surname LIKE '%' + @Surname + '%'
I am using the above query and it only returns exact matches despite the LIKE operator. Partial entries never show up despite the presence of the wildcard % symbol. It's as if the whole thing is being treated as an equal sign.What should I do? Is it a problem with the SQL itself or does VB's "add query" maker simply have such limited capabilities?
i have a bunch of radio buttons which can have different text displayed depending on whats retrieved from the database.however i want to add code that hides any radio button that would have a 'zero' retrieved from the database.so far this is the code i was coming up with, without getting into the nitty gritty of the actual database queries
If RadioButton1.Text = Me.HWExamsDataSet.DSExamTextA.Rows.Item.tostring = 0 Then
RadioButton1.Visible = False
End Ifabase entries or queries.
it looks like it may work...but is there a way to automate it so that i can put in a reference to ANY radiobutton like radiobutton(*).text? or a bunch of buttons if need be.i know theres a way to specify additional items to a given command...just can't remember if its curly brakets etc.

I'm using Visual Basic Professional 2010, I have two directories of XML files. The naming convention in directory one is a user's name, a six digit date and ending in ".xml_CREATE.xml". So, I perform some work on a file in directory two. During the course of that processing I discover that a file exists in directory one called "Mike" an unknown six digit date and ending with ".xml_CREATE.xml", so while I have no way to know the date, I know it exists and would look something like Mike030312.xml_CREATE.xml. So, now I want to load that file as an XElement that I will eventually incorporate into an XDocument, so I need to perform a Load similar to:
myXMLFile = XElement.Load(My.Settings.XMLDir & "" & Mike030312.xml_CREATE.xml),
However, since I don't know the date, I need to insert wildcards at that spot. How do I make that happen?

Can you not copy files from your resources? [code] I don't get any errors but I do get an exception saying it couldn't find the file. I want to do this other than supplying the directory that it is located on on my computer because I'm not sure it it will work on other peoples computers if i have the path of the file set as "C:UsersMike.Mike-PCDocumentsVisual Studio 2010ProjectsJava IDEJava IDEResourcesCompiler.bat".
View 19 RepliesIn my ignorance, I thought I could subscribe to any host, so I chose hostmonster, and copy files from Visual Web Developer to it, thereby creating my first website. Wrong! Hostmonster is linux-based, so the files won't copy without assigning an index page at the site. The rep at the host said that linux doesn't read the language(s) I've been using to develop pages, Visual Basic and C#.

View 12 RepliesI am trying to copy files from one drive to another. I am a novice at Visual Basic, but here are the facts. I am running Windows XP, and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. I work at a business where we need to move a small amount of data every Sunday, literally about 100k, a few small files. I'm trying to cut and paste the files as we will not need them in the main file any longer. There's also the network issue, I'm trying to pull them off a LAN, onto my computer, specifically the G: drive to the C: drive.
This is what I put so far:

I need to create an application (or find one application) that copies files from a computer to another, across the internet to create automatic backups.

I am wanting the most efficient way to copy a file with a progress bar updating the copy percentage.
This is the standard copy code I am using:
System.IO.File.Copy(source,target)
This is very fast and efficient. However, I cannot report the copy percentage.I have tried many functions that read and save a file by opening up the filestream and then looping while reading/writing the data. This enables me to report the progress.[code]...
What is the best/efficient way to copy a file showing the copy progress?
In the cmd prompt, I can copy multiple files into one file, and I was wondering, how would I do that in VB 08?
