I am making a basic form that has 1 button and a rich text box.I need to click on the button and have it call a random line from 3 text documents (so 3 lines total) and place them in the rich text box, each on a different line.
"Quick example"
3 Text files
Firstname.txt
Lastname.txt

Click on button named generate and in the text box below it places
First Name: Shara

Can I send multiple files as 1 fax? I currently can fax one file at a time. I was wonder can I send multiple files to the same fax number on one call? Without physicall trying to combine files. For example. If I wanted to send a word doc and a pdf to the same person can I do that without having to dial twice? I hope that makes sense. I don't know if you can because I see that FaxDocment.body is string and not a list of strings. I am using FaxServer and FaxDocument. I just Found FaxDocument.Bodies. Does anyone have an example on how to use this? I know that FaxDocument.Body is a file path. FaxDocument.Bodies is an object? I don't see an list of path or whatever.

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.

I have learnt how to create a basic random word generator. I now want to take this further but I would like to know if what I am thinking of is possible. I am in the process of wanting to create a random name/word generator which reads/loads an array from a text file. think this part I will be Ok with as there are some vids and tutorials about. However, I wish for the text file to have multiple arrays and then dependant on the day and time of the day, only a string from the current time array is loaded. Does that make sense and is it possible? I am happy to spend time learning how to do this but only if it is possible.

I'm fairly new to VB.NET, and I'm working on a text editor with a tabbed interface. I deal with large text files. Should I have each tab / text document open up in a new thread or a process? I basically want the entire application to always run fast as the text editor is just one part of it. If I have several large text files open I don't want the rest of the application slowing down a bit.

View 6 Repliesi need to code a program to help me in my everyday job, i own my own business and this will help me with my sales. its a very simple program, and i cant figure out how to get my multiple textboxes to write to a new .txt file. i can only get it to do 1 line at a time. I have textboxes. named txtDate, txtCarrier, txtLocation, txtDateEmpty, txtDestination, txtQuote, txtPhone, txtFax, txtEmail.I want the "txtDate" textbox to be autofilled with the current date and time of the user input, which is started on the next textbox.the rest of the textboxes are going to be user input. then when the user is done entering data into the multiple textbox's they would click a button "add" or something to that sort.then those text box entries including the "txtDate" would be written to a new .txt file.in this format, Quote"Date - Carrier - Location - DateEmpty - Destination - Quote - Phone - Fax - Email "all on the same line.and when the "add" button is clicked, the multiple textbox fields clear all the data previously entered.and is ready for another user input.
after the 2nd set of user input is entered, and "add" button is pressed,it would add(append) another line to same txt file previously written. example: Quote"Date - Carrier - Location - DateEmpty - Destination - Quote - Phone - Fax - Email " "Date2 - Carrier2 - Location2 - DateEmpty2 - Destination2 - Quote2 - Phone2 - Fax2 - Email2 "
then the previously filled text boxes would be empty again, and ready for input 3. and with this you would be able to add countless lines over and over of user input.ok, also when the program launchesI want a msg txt box to pop up and ask. "Where is the Load Origin?" then the user would input data and click enterAnother Msg box would pop up and ask "Where is the Destination?"Next "Pick Up Date" then "Deliver Date" and last would be "Notes" and all that data that was entered into the msg box's will Be at the top of the txt file like a header .

I need to figure out how to read a TXT file as an input type and read it one line at a time, but instead of displaying the text,it will find a keyword in the user typed text and display an answer from the text file. I already know how to do everything but get it to read the input file properly, line by line.

View 13 RepliesI am running batch jobs on a job scheduler. One of the step is called 6 times so that we can execute the step parallely (to utilize the max server resource and to execuet the step in less than 2 hours rather 6hours).

i'm currently making a client database program for work that stores data in multiple text files (so that the information won't be confused as to which info belongs to who in the database). Each client has his/her own text file, which isn't really a problem although i realize it's a bit messy. A listbox holds items, each item a person's name.When the listbox selected index is changed, the streamreader opens the corresponding textfile, which is as such: "John Doe.txt", and populates the correct textboxes with the information stored in "John Doe.txt".What I'm unfamiliar with is implementing a search function.
1. search query entered
2. streamreader reads through all txt files in a directory looking for matching keywords.
3. if a match is found in a txt file, it looks at the name ("John Doe.txt"), gets the corresponding listboxitem, and finally, once the textboxes have been populated with the info in the file, highlights the matching keywords.
4. then i figured if there was more than 1 match over more than 1 txt file, you could repeat the process and skip to the next match via the tab key (like the find feature of a WebBrowser or other such application).
What i don't understand is how to read multiple text files, search in keywords, highlight the matching keywords, or the tab function..I know that's a lot to ask on a forum, but I had nowhere else to turn.

I'm trying to implement Bandwidth Total calculation into my little desktop monitoring program using 2 *.txt files. Everything else is working great except for the writing/reading part of it. I had put this together originally without the intention of bandwidth monitoring, but I've decided it would be a good thing to have.I want to have 2 monitoring types: Windows Session Bandwidth Total & All-Time Bandwidth Total (since the program was 1st run on the machine). The counter is on a Timer (2nd of 2), and I want it to write and add the label values each second into the file, then when Form3 is opened, to read the text file and show the results.
View 12 RepliesI'll explain what I'm working to eliminate the assumptions of a brute forcer. I'm working a Random SQL Data generator. What I need is a way to create a multi-dimensional array from multiple word lists, 1 dimension per word list. I have tried a few different things and nothing I've tried works. However, I have got it to work with a single word list and an array of 1. I figured there is a more efficient way of doing this than writing a massive block of select case and using multiple 1 dimensional arrays, this would end up very messy and inefficient it seems.No this is not for homework, this is for personal learning use only.I would post my code, but like I said, nothing I've tried comes close to working.
