I have a vb.net program in which i must compare three text files(two against one) and verify that they are all same. Even if there is one change i must know where the change is, which text file and which line. The format of the text file is like this

I've been tasked with writing an app that reads in various text files(.csv, .txt) in different formats with different delimiters.I then need to compare certain data in these files and report the differences.There are a couple of columns that are common between the files, but they aren't in the same place, and there is inconsistent and unnecessary header info.There is extra data(columns) in these files that I don't need.Should I parse these files into a datatable? Should I create an object for each file type to format the data and get rid of the unnecessary info?I'm not sure about the best way to tackle this problem.
View 1 RepliesI have been tasked with creating an app that will read in various text files(.csv, .txt) and compare some of the data contained within.
I thought I would read in the files and convert them to datatables. Once I had them in a datatable I figured I could remove the unnecessary rows/columns and then sort and compare the pertinent info for differences. The difficulty is that the various files are formatted differently so I will need to get each type formatted correctly. Is this the best approach?
I have read in a .csv, parsed it into a datatable, but I'm having trouble with the logic/coding to get rid of the rows and columns that I don't need. Also, I'm not sure how to handle a row that has a cell with a comma seperated list of values that will need to be split into individual rows.
i want a code for compare between 2 text files A.txt and B.txt all record in file B.txt includes in file A.txt but with different value.the digits with color red are accounts and the digits with color blue are values.i want to compare between A.txt and B.txt based on accounts,when find the accounts from B.txt in A.txt copy the full record for these accounts from A.txt and print it in new file C.txt

File A.txt:
ABC20100317201000000 -----> Header

I want to create my special full-text index using text files, without database.I saved records ids for every word in index, in text file..Now if I want to search for tow words together; I have to get ids that is shared between these words by comparing text files of these words ids; and saving the result in other text file.[code]But now the problem if the first word has 100,000 ids and also the second word same it; the loop will take too long time! It will loop 100,000 * 100,000 times!How can I find another way to compare these files quickly; or another idea for my full-text index with text files?
View 4 RepliesWell, I have a MenuStrip1 with submenu "Open File1" and "Open File2".
An OpenFileDialog1, two RichTextboxes and a button called "Check".
When I open txt files into RichTextboxes, by clicking the check button i want it to compare the two contents and focus the differents with a color (let's say yellow).
I have created a simple project and at the end it only says with a MessageBox if files are the same or different.

I started with not knowing anything and I have built 2 programs over the last month and a half and have learned valuable information from the help of this board. I have 1 last hurdle before I am done and I am hoping to get another tip for this. First of all let me start by explaining what I have done.

I have two textbox in my application.
Textbox1.Text="19-Jan-2010"
Textbox2.Text="Jan 2010"
May I know how can I compare that Textbox1 and Textbox2 text is within same month and same year?
I've been trying to compare two text files line by line but I was only able to compare the file lengths. I'm creating a dance mat game and I have a text file of the steps that should be taken to get a perfect score and a text file of the actual steps taken by the user. Each text file contains a time stamp and a binary value indicating which arrow was stepped on. I'm using streamreader and streamwriter to write and read the text files.
Code:
Private Sub Score_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

I need to compare the files line by line and write the different lines into a third file.
I have many txt files, and i have to select any txt file to search and compare match fields with file: CompareText.txt. My text file format:

, I can get the same result (depend on the third column to compare), then i must save this result to new txt file . Examples, this result from 2 txt files:
20090227#2#B010110200#430556.987989#
20090227#2#B010110213#2146515.91#

View 1 RepliesI have created an vb.net windows application. In the application i have 2 xml files (e.g., Pre.xml & Post.xml) & the 2 files are same structure.
My requirement is compare the pre & post xml files and get the differences between xml files. Like what are all the newly added nodes, removed nodes and modified nodes as well.
I tried with XmlDiffPatch.Dll, it is working for small size xml files, but in my case xml file size should be upto 100+ mb.
I need to compare 2 files one on a PC in country X and 1 on a PC in Y.Country X and Y could be any country in the world.
When I compare the last modified dates of the files, it returns the local modified time, so they are always different.

Ok, stay with me on this one.I have a bunch of css files with classes defined in them.They are like this:.toolbar{......}.addpage{......}
I have managed to extract the just the classnames with a bit of help from a fellow member.now i have another bunch of .vb, .aspx files which use these css classes in them. they in the form:<id=23441:cssClass="toolbar">Now I have to extract the classnames after the 'cssClass' key word and then compare all the classnames with the previously extracted ones and determine which Classes are not being used.
so here is my scenario. I have two input files... both are plain text files. File1 has customer name, customer address and invoice number. File2 has customer name, customer address, invoice number AND a keyline. File1 will only contain some of the records in File2, and it will change daily. I need to be able to compare File1 against File2 and output one file (preferably an Excel spreadsheet) with the info from File1 and the keyline from File2, that matches the duplicated info. I know the basics to get it to work, but I'm not sure what would be the easiest way of doing this... File2 can have up to 100,000 records per day. I'd only need to run it once a day though.
View 6 RepliesIm 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")
infoDisplay.AppendText(fileText)
infoDisplay.Rtf.Format()
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.
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}}
{\*\generator Msftedit 5.41.15.1507;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs20{\object\objemb{\*\objclass Paint.Picture}\objw3000\objh3000{\*\objdata

Ok so im not sure how i can read from a RTF file and put it in the RTF box with the right format....Ive been searching around for a while.
On a image file (PDF), the OCR has recognised the picture and text. However on Visual Basics, how do you search for a text on this image file? The primary goal is to allow a text search (i.e POxxxxx) on all the image files (PDFs). The returns of the search will be the assciated image files where the text (i.e POxxxxx) is found on.
View 1 RepliesIt's been a long time and I'm very rusty on my VB.
I did something like this years ago and now I'm stumped.
My application flows like this-
-From my form, I have a text box.
-I scan a serial number into the text box
-The application compares the scanned serial number against a base-line serial number
-Depending on if the serial number is greater, less or equal, a windows messege box is displayed.
I can get the messeage box to work just fine, it's just the line of code that does all the comparision I'm struggling with.
- Serial number to baseline is something like SY1420000134 (all the same charater length and always starts with a SY)
I've been searching for about two hours now and can't find any thread to jog my memory.
Im trying to get a text box the compare its self to more than 1 other ive tried to do it like this :
If TextBox7.Text = TextBox1.Text Or TextBox2.Text Or TextBox3.Text Or TextBox4 Or TextBox5.Text Or TextBox6.Text Then
Well i want to compare 2 strings (version one and version two) and get the differences in a format that i can convert to html on my own, like you can view how a post was edited here on stack*overflow* or like svn tracks differences between revisions....
It must be full managed code library.
Like this JavaScript but i need to do it on the server-side..
Basically i have 12-16 text boxes, with certain values in them.
i think i need a nested loop one to take first box and go through the rest to compare them and then a second loop withint that to do the actual comparison.
I want to use a validator to compare 2 text box in such a way that ,
If V is in Text box 1, means User must type any of the numbers prefix V in Textbox 2 (V00001 to V00050).Other than V ,if they type any other Letters means error message must be shown.
Just like that if C is in TextBox 1 means user must type C00001 in TextBox2.(or any number from C00001 TO C00050) iF S is in textbox 1 means,User must Type S00001(S00001 TO S00050)
I have two text files which contains are like this[code]..
When the original files find the same values in drill file than it must overwrite the original file the line from drill file. Let say original file contain T230 than it must serch for same value in drill file if it find than it must overwrite the original file line with drill file line. The content of drill file is not fix. It will allways be update according to need.
is that posible to connect two text file?
