I have a question here. I'd like to develop a vb.net program to run thru all source code in a folder to look for certain strings.my initial thought is to create an .ini file then program will read the strings then start searching in the source code for the strings entered.
the final output will be an excel sheet, stating the filename and the line number.
is this a good way to do it? if yes, can i ask for a skeleton program?if no, any other way?
I am in charge of developing a searchable database which should allow users to search for any key term in every fils content in a folder. Note that I need to search for filescontent, not file name. Right now, users usually have to searchfor every file to look for particular filecontents with any key terms.

Lets get down to it, Basically, I'm making a kind of "Anti-Hack" for a project I'm working on.The basis of the "Anti-Hack" is the check processes for names of known Memory Editors, For example, one memory editor I am scanning for is Cheat Engine.exe, I am using this code to scan for it, then I use the result to activate a different piece of code.
If Process.GetProcessesByName("Cheat Engine").Length = 0 The
'It's OK
Else
<Removed for obvious reasons>
End If
Basically, I don't want my code to look like a library of If statements when the only thing I am changing is the process name, what I want to do, is have an encrypted .dat file with an array or list of known tools. I want to then go through the array/list and keep checking for instances of them running.I know nothing of how to encrypt/decrypt .dat files through VB. (I'm not an expert at it atm )I am open to other ways (Easier ways) of doing this, like a Class with a list of names etc.
**NOTE** I would rather it be a separate file as the program features an Auto-Update feature, so it will be easier to update the list.
**IMPORTANT**Also, I would like to know how to hide my process, so it cant simply be ended, It may sound suspicious but people will be able to just close it and start hacking T_T, Unless there is another way, I would appreciate it (Like making it so it cant be ended etc.)**IMPORTANT.

I'm copying over some files to a target directory on a daily basis.Before I move the new files over, I'd like to delete the old files under the target folder, possibly using System.IO.Directory.Delete()But my problem is, the target folder is on a public drive where everybody in the company could access, and I don't want to empty the folder while someone else might be using those files.I'm thinking whether there's a Class that check the status on the files in a specific directory before I come in and delete everything.(I know I would get an IOException if I disregard the status of the files and try to delete them)

View 2 RepliesHow would I make a program that would search through a .txt file, and find certain predetermined keywords. Basically, I have a very simple keylogger on my son's laptop to keep an eye on him. My hope is that I would make a program that would go through the .txt file, and if one of the keywords is found, then I would have the program execute a little something I have cooked up to warn to stop. The only problem is, I do not know how to search through the .txt file.
