I have many text files in a folder. What I can do now is to read through one text at a time and insert it into the database. My little app reads a text file when I debug it. So, I need to run it several times to read all those text files and import them into the database.
My question is how to read multiple text files inside a folder at a time. Here's my code which works fine but it reads only one text files at a time.Private Sub btnRead_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnRead.Click

My primariry task is to read all the zip files in folder Test, unzip them and copy them to folder Test2.
I am trying to watch files in a directory to determine when files are opened/accessed. I thought FileSystemWatcher would do the trick using the event Changed.
Problem is that some applications do not create a lock on the file they open/access or change either the date modified or date accessed (even after fsutil behavior set disablelastaccess 0). Notepad for example. Apparently is makes a copy of the file in memory and plays with it there until you save it. Nor does it update the Date Accessed.
How can I monitor a directory of files and be notified when a file is simply opened/accessed by any program (e.g. Notepad)? Files may be opened from another computer, not necessarily on the computer running the "watcher".
Im designing a program that will read from various text files (preferably RTF files) and then put them into the RTF box in the program when a button is clicked.
Here is the portion of my code that i am referring to.
Try Dim fileText As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("c:\" & selectedHero & ".rtf")
Catch MsgBox("Selected Hero currently has no File with us.") End Try
Now heres the problem. In the file i have a few pictures and its formatted and what not. I thought since its a RTF file and the Box is RTF it would auto format.... but anyways. It appears like this in the RTF Box.
All i am trying to do is read and write files to a shared folder on a network in visual basic (VS 2010). I can go to the folder through windows without a problem and without being prompted for a password. However when i try to do it through visual basic, it cant find the directory. Here is my small snippet of code that i (hope) is telling me that the program cannot connect to the folder. [code] Are there any known issues with VS 2010 that may cause this? Maybe something else in my code that could have an effect? This is in my form_load event though, so it is literally one of the first things that runs.
Is it possible, create a button that can start looking for files in a particular folder and open and close each 1 of them. Eje: Search in c: est (here open and read all files on folder in texbox) test.txt, test2.txt, ... Open 1 and close to open 2, close and open 3... I write the folder to search, and program find and open and close all files in the folder.
Im trying to write a loop that will read through a number of *.csv files in a folder and then stuff the data into SQL. The code works and will happily put the data i want for a named file into SQL no problems. So when i had that working i then tried to loop it so that it would do the same for all files in the folder until all files had been done, and not error out if there where no files etc.
Maybe im tired (well, i am) or not had enough coffee but i just cant get this to work, it should be simple - i know it is infact, but its making ME feel simple.i think i should have an integer count in there, but similar examples ive seen dont use one. Also when trying to open the path i get an error at runtime "the path is not of a legal form"

I am trying to generate several txt files- around 100(using a string) and I need to save them in a newly created folder(what i mea is: i have to create the folder too- to be a folder with the name of the current month) and each file will have a name taken from the database.
I have a VERY basic knowledge of VB. I'm having trouble figuring out how to read multiple xml files when a user selects them from a listbox. Below is what I have so far. Currently this will only read one xml file. When I change "Dim strDir As String = PlayListBox.SelectedItem" to "Dim strDir As String = PlayListBox.SelectedItems" the code doesn't work.[code]...
I'm trying to figure a way to select multiple files from a folder and rename them and also add a sequential number to the end.Example: Take img_001.jpg, img_002.jpg and rename them to picture1.jpg, picture2.jpg and so on. There is a maximum of 50 files in each folder..
I'm not sure how to use it, And for some reason I couldn't find it on MSDN, Unless I looked it up wrong, But I am making an MP3 Player, And I'd like to choose a folder that carries multiple MP3 files, And by clicking on it, It will bring the MP3 files into the windows media player component I am using and add the file names into a listbox.
I have 500 odd csv files that I need to pick up and load into a table in Teradata.How do I combine this 500 files data into one file Or is there a script that will go and fetch data from each file and load it into the table.Here are more details.I have a bunch of hotels and the end of each day all the hotels dump in one file into a common folder. Like
Now I need a script to pick all these files data and load it into one file so that I can use this file to insert data into a table using a fast load script i already have.I have a script that will read this file copy it to a new location and archive it.I can use this final file to load my table.But I dont have a script to read all these files and also read the new file that comes in everyday and load it into one csv file.
Im struggling with gettings the values from the right strings.txt in my resource files in my in folder when switching languages.

Now, all files seem to be created correctly.However, when I go to the [URL], the values in binstrings.txt are used and NOT (like I would expect and desire), the values from binenstrings.en.txt?
I need to require the user of this program to select two text files from any directory. I then need to display them in a List View, which I have built. File 1 needs to load into the first column and File 2 needs to load into the second. They will correspond to each other.[code]...
in the current project im making i've decided to add in some tools, 1 of which is a renamer based of a renamer app that already exists (called scdtoolz), i want to build my own version of it so i can learn some new things, and build a nice GUI version of it.[code]So what i have managed to determine is that the current app scans the folders contents for the CRC32 Checksum, and renames based of that, since the 456.bin's CRC32 Checksum was 2274F80B, and in the text file 2274F80B is found here 'WWF - Rage in the Cage (T-81015)(U)#2274F80B#'So now i have determined game identification is based of the CRC32 checksums, how would i go about coding a similar ap in vb.net?first i need to make the app scan a folder, but how to return crcchecksum? and then rename if check = XXXX? If MD4 sums are easier/simpler i can use those instead, im lookin at a few hash app sources now, so i think i can see how to get the md5 but not the crc32 yet, or how to rename the 2 files and folder based of the text file.
I am going to implements a thread pool to run my application. All of my content is saved under a folder on my desktop.Each of the files are in .txt format. How can I read each .txt from a given folder and then put the .txt file into the thread pool / thread queue?
I current have an app that I am trying to create. I have 2 List boxes, a textbox, and a command button.What I am trying to do is take about 100 text files that all have certain text in them that I need to change at run time to whatever I put into the textbox. For instance Each Text file has my old company name and I want to be able enter my new name into the textbox and click the command button and the app will open each text file, find the text that I specify and replace it with my new name then save the file into a specified folder.What elements should I be studying to make this happen? So far this is what I've come up with:
OpenFileDialog - to open the file
StreamReader - to read the text files and find the text that I specified
**Not sure on the replace method**
StreamWriter - to write the text from the textbox to the new file
SaveFileDialog - to save the file to the specified location
I wrote an application that copies files from Folder(A) into Folder (B) First it checks if the files exists if yes it will copy them and it will over write the them in fodler (B) and is working great , but if I have a file in Folder(B)that is located in a subfolder the file inFolder (A) will not be copied to the new location.
belwo is the code to copy the files if they exist :[code..]

I'm trying to create a folder search operation. The folder will have several text files (.txt), and user will specify the folder path and a search string, and the program will search the exact string within the text files which are located in the specified folder, and show the files. So far I've done nothing. I don't know how I can do folder operations with vb.net. a link to reading material.
