I need to know how to retrieve data from a specific place in a .txt file.[code]...
Also, how would I write to Jim and not Name, or how would I write to 52 and not Age?
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.
We are trying to Open a text file and if our needed information isn't in there, we need to write it, otherwise we need to append to the existing text. We had it working in VB6 (below) and i havent the slightest clue
CommonDialog1.Filter = "Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt"
CommonDialog1.FileName = frmSplash.fp & "\job_info\" & nam
Open (CommonDialog1.FileName) For Append As #1

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.
View 3 RepliesStuff like this makes me hate computers! Anyways, I'm again struggling with something relatively simple - or so i thought.I have a sub:

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 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.
Imports System.IO
Public Class Log
Private Const cnDirectory as String = "C:HNP MTWP Log FilesAdministrative Tools"

Is it possible to append text to a text file located on a webserver from a winform? If so, can you please point me in the right direction. I've searched this forum but can only find documentation on appending a local text file.

With the intention of creating a program to interface with a serial port device, I recently started learning vb.net. To keep the structure neat the vb code has been split into two places; the first is the code behind for initialising, clicking buttons etc., whilst the second is for managing the comm port. Respectively, these are named 'MainWindow.xaml.vb' and 'ComPortManager.vb'.
In 'comPortManager.vb':
Dim RXArray(2047) As Char ' Array to hold received characters
Dim RXCnt As Integer ' Received character count

For some odd reason, when I download text files, the HTML of the web page is being appended to the text! All other file types work fine!Here's the code that's doing the download:
Public Sub DownloadBlob(ByVal Blob As Byte(), ByVal FileName As String, ByVal Response As HttpResponse)
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", String.Format("attachment;filename={0}", FileName.Replace(" ", "_")))
Response.ContentType = String.Format("application/{0}", Path.GetExtension(FileName).Substring(1))
Response.BinaryWrite(Blob)
End Sub

View 4 RepliesHow would I go about appending text to a Textbox without losing the current scrollbar position? I thought somehting as simple as:
Textbox1.Text += "MyString" & vbCrLf
would work, but it just sends the scrollbars to the top.
This append feature does not seem to work. I've looked in many places to no avail. The other examples below for writing and reading seem to be going fine.
Private Sub ApFile(ByVal textFilePath As String)
Dim objWriter As System.IO.StreamWriter = file.appendtext("textTBD")
objWriter.WriteLine("textTBD")

The process I currently use to insert a string into a text file is to read the file and modify it as I write the file out again which seems to be how everyone is doing it.
Since .net has such a diverse library I was wondering if there was a specific command for inserting a string at a specific line in a txt file.
I would imagine it would look something like this:
dim file as file
file.open("filePath")
file.insert(string, location) 'this isn't actually an option, I tried
The user starts out by pasting text into a textbox:
1.Phototypesetting was superior to automated typesetting because it was
(A)Easier
(B)Faster
(C)More flexible
*(D)All of the above
What I want to do is to tag the sentence and format it as follows: MC Phototypesetting was superior to automated typesetting because it was (A)Easier incorrect (B)Faster incorrect (C)More flexible incorrect (D)All of the above correct Using the following code I can easily replace the number (1) with MC:
TextBox1.Text = Replace(TextBox1.Text, ("1."), "MC ")
But for the life of me I cannot figure out how to tag each choice with correct or incorrect. The correct tag will go to the end of the choice which starts with * eg *(D) All of the above correct, while incorrect should go at the end of all other choices.
I've been writing a weight program for flooded pressure vessels and I'm having trouble retrieving the data from the text files I've been saving. I know how to write the data to the text file, but retrieving it with OpenFileDialog is not so easy for me.The user has individual text boxes that they input strings or numbers into and when they save the file, each text box input is written to one line in the text file. For example, the first text box is for the username, therefore the first line of text that is saved is the person's name, the second text box is the customer, thus the second line in the text file is the customer name, and so on.
(Actually, the first line of text in the saved file designates whether English units were used or Metric units because when the user retrieves the saved file, English units will open one form and Metric units will open a separate form, so some If...Then statement will need to occur).I need to be able to read the first line, have either my "EnglishForm"form open or my "MetricForm" form open, and then have each subsequent line of text be displayed in their corresponding text boxes. I know I need to use ReadLine or LineInput, but I don't have a clue what to do.Assuming the syntax I've displayed below would just magically work (if only life were that easy), it would look something like this
If FirstLineOfTextInFile = "English" Then
EnglishForm.Show()
ElseIf FirstLineOfTextInFile = "Metric" Then[code]....
And so on...I read a lot of articles from the MSDN library and exhausted each link that I've looked through from Google and Bing, but most only retrieve data from the file to a single text box through some loop or streamreader and don't take into account multiple forms.
Is it Possible for me to read text from textbox control and write it to .txt file at specific location.
for an instance.... say below with quote is my Text in .txt file:
"THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMP OVER THE LAZY DOG"
and with programming code I want to change some text in the same sentance become....(see below)
"THE QUICK GREY FOX JUMP OVER THE LAZY CAT"
so you can see the word BROWN change to GREY and word DOG change to CAT

I'm trying to find a way to change the color of one word when appending text to a Rich text box. So if I append the sentence "This is a sentence with a specific word in one color" The entire thing will be in black except for the word "specific" it will be in red or any color I choose. The same thing will happen if the next line appended is "Please be specific in your request". All back except for the word "specific". I don't want the text added then someone has to click a button to change the color. It should happen as it's appended.
