My user can export a ".doc" file but when VB.NET writes to this file it uses "" and "," characters at the end of each sentence. I was wondering if there was a way of actually appending the exported file to remove these characters?

I am trying to save the contents of a richtextbox to a text file. I know that they .SaveFile method automatically overwrites the existing file so I have a routine that will load the contents of the file into a temporary rich textbox control then append the new information to that and then save from the temp richtextbox. My application works as I want it to on my workstation but I cannot get it to work correctly on the notebook computer it will be running on from now on. It only works when I put in a breakpoint and I am not sure why?
[Code]...
If I put breakpoints on any of the lines rtb.Select, rtb.Copy, rtb.Paste then it works. I even tried putting a Thread.sleep before saving, thinking that more was needed to do the copy/paste but that didnt work either.
Lets assume I have a DataSet that contains the following info (columns seperated with | character):
1 | Logan | Young
2 | John | Doe
3 | Jane | Doe
4 | Joe | Soap
If I now write this info to a text file, but later want to append 5 | Susan | Sarandonto the end of the text file, I obviously want to check that the text file doesn't already contain the data that I want to append to it. I'm having a little difficulty figuring out how to perform this check...I know you'd have to loop through every row in the DataSet's table and compare it to every line in the text file. That part's easy.

I have a VB 2008 program which shows the user's results in a ListView, and permanently stores them in a Notepad (.txt) file. The program works fine when I run it using Debug. The permanent records show up on a .txt file in the "bin". However, I want to publish the program as an executable file. I have tried this using my normal method of selecting "Publish" from the "Build" menu, and my program runs fine but there is no .txt file to be found.

Then, I have a sub that runs every minute, calling yet another sub, which calls this one. Before you say whoa! that's too many, I'll say that each of these subs has a different purpose.The whole problem is that the WriteToFile sub writes only once to a file! Instead of continously writing to the file every minute, it stops at the first line.

I am retrieving string values from a table and then encode each term to make a httpwebrequest to an api. It works fine and the terms allow for foreign characters like japanese/arabic/chinese etc and these are inserted fine. The problem occurs when some of these terms contain weird characters and that is when the request is bad. The only reason it is bad xml and the template I follow gets invalid are when these characters are present. I use the
system.securityelement.escape
And also
httputility.htmlencode
As part of my cleanup. One of the weird characters ends up appearing as a space but it is not since the trim(term) does not work and when I look at the xml in visual studio it looks like an ' &' with arrow pointing up attached to it. It does not appear after I pasted it here.It appears as a line feed or carriage return and I have tried to remove that too. Anyway is there some way I can ensure that these sort of characters are removed and if I were to use the binary values like <32 invalid, will foreign characters then get excluded.
temp = temp.replace(vbCr, "")
temp = temp.replace(vbLf, "")
temp = SecurityElement.Escape(temp)

View 3 RepliesI have a piece of software that can be used either on an admin account or a standard user account of a completely stand-alone, Windows XP machine.
I have also set up some log files that the system uses when it either performs an admin function or if an error occurs. the location of these files is a C: location - not (from what I can see) associated with the admin account in any way.
When running the software from the admin machine, the log file is appending fine. When running the software from the standard user machine, the log file causes an error, suggesting that "Access to the path 'C:HNP MTWP Log FilesAdministrative ToolsAdmin.log' is denied.
This error occurs when first setting up the FileStream. Here is my code.
