Convert ArrayList To Delimited Text File?
Apr 30, 2009
I previously asked a question about my meeting planner app, and how to delete a specific entry in the array. Someone had the interesting suggestion of using a ArrayList, instead of a normal array. I am attempting to learn ArrayList, but to no good result. I can't even get the ToString method to work correctly to write what I want it to into a text file.[code]...
My plan is to have each of those three fields to have their own entry in the ArrayList, but when it is saved to text file, those three fields are comma delimited to a line for each appointment. Of course when the text is loaded, it will have to be converted back. Can anyone point me in the right direction or have any other method of going about this with the ArrayList?

So i'm new to working with vba in access and i'm having trouble getting this code to work. What it is suppose to do is take a selected text file and read the original file into a list box. Then there is a second button that when pressed will convert the text file from a pipe delimited file into a tab delimited file and then show the changed file into a new listbox.
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Function GetFilenameFromPath(ByVal strPath As String) As String
[code].....

[code] I'm trying to load a textfile with (formatted, mostly tab delimited) data, into an arrayList.To manipulate and extract certain data I was able to search through the arrayList and retrieve the needed data.This is what's not working: If I have found my needed data in certain places from the arrayList, I would like to split this to read the needed values. Trying to do this I constantly get string cannot be converted to 1-dimensional array of string errors. [code]

this is how i would normally import a comma delimited text file into a ms access table:
sql.CommandText = "SELECT * INTO [tblMailList] FROM [Text;DATABASE=" & System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Me.OpenFileDialog1.FileName) & ";HDR=NO].[" & Me.OpenFileDialog1.SafeFileName & "]"
sql.ExecuteNonQuery()
my question is, how can i do something similar for a tab delimited text file?

I'm trying to parse a text file. First I plan on extrcating each line, then extracting each field by searching for a tasb.When I use InStr to search for a (return for end of line) or (for tab) I always get a zero. But if I put in a visable letter such as a I got a 5.also I tried /r, /n and all return a zero.The file looks as follows:
ID Name
1 Patient
2 Bed
3 PatientSet

I've got a problem reading in a Tab-Delimited text file. There's an extra tab in one of the fields its reading it thats not a delimiter, and it's throwing off me reading the file into a table. This specific file does have quotations around that field though.
What would be the best way to take that tab out before splitting the row by vbTab?
Im reading each line in the text field like this, splitting on vbTab. X is a string array
text = x(J).Split(vbTab)

This is my first program that I'm trying to write. I have been trying to make an application to run a date filtered query against a SQL server and output the results into a txt file that I define. I believe that my code is close for getting the data. I cannot figure out how to actually write the data into a text file. I am trying to use the datareader and streamwriter, but I am not sure what to put in the streamwriter.Write() function to actually get it to past the lines in the text file.

I am trying to import a TAB (NOt comma) delimited text file into a DataGridView. The following code works fine if I have a comma separated file. All I have to do is change the FMT to "Delimited".It just does not work with FMT=TabDelimited. All columns are read into single datatable column. The text file is ANSI text and I have double checked to make sure Tabs are tabs and not spaces, even exported a sample Tab Delimited file from Excel.Can this even be done using Text Driver? [code]

I want to load a csv file (A comma delimited text file) into a datatable. I found the OdbcDataAdapter Class which looks perfect, but it says it is supported only in version 1.1 of the .NET Framework.
Is there a better way to import a csv file into a datatable? the first line has the column headers.
I am using Visual Studio 2008, using version 3.5 of the .NET framework

what would be the easiest way to open a comma delimited text file - each field is surrounded by quotes - and then analyze this file to find the record with the most fields being used? right now i bring the file into and access db then loop through each record to see if there is any data.

I'm having a problem where instead of reading a text file from the location string, I changed it to read the text file from the resource location and it breaks my program. I've also used the insert snippet method to get most of this code, so it is safe to say I don't know what is going on. [code]

I have a text file with for example this data in it :
"19 Mar 2010","6:00","16:00","10","1","9","6.61","59.49"
"20 Mar 2010","9:45","19:15","10","1","9","6.61","69.89"
"21 Mar 2010","9:00","17:00","8","1","8","6.61","99.32"
I used " , " to delimit individual pieces of data and " " to denote end of line.I'd like to be able to split the files into lines and assign each line to an array then split each of those array strings into the comma " , " delimited data and feed each piece of data into another array ready for writing to a datagridview.
I've spent a while trying to get Split() to work but I get errors regarding converting strings to one-dimensional arrays Also the Split() method asks for a "ParamArray" but I haven't been able to find examples of other people providing them on the net any idea what those are about?

I am new to the VB Forums. I searched the forums for an answer, but could not find one that exactly fit my issue. I apologize if I missed it. What I am doing is I'm pulling strings of text from a backslash-delimited text file and throwing it into a (Of String, Array) dictionary. This info is then displayed, added to, removed from, through the use of the form. Changes to the entries (new, old, or otherwise) then need to be written back in the same delimited format to the text file.

I have a program that generates text tab-delimited files with a header row and sometimes a units row followed by data.
Example:
FirstName LastName Birthday
Michael Jordan 6/6/66
Alan Jackson 7/7/77
or
FirstName LastName Birthday
Name Name Date
Michael Jordan 6/6/66
Alan Jackson 7/7/77
I would like to be able to perform SQL queries on these files. How can I connect to a text tab delimited file to either pretend it is a database table or import it into SQL as a table, preferably through VB.NET? I could have 300,000 rows, and the fields are all numbers, not text... I have manually imported these files into SQL before using management studio, so I know it is possible but I would love to be able to do it programmatically.
Is there any way I can get the SQL code from this process because it does exactly what I need it to do but it is manual. There is an SSIS package that I saved, but I do not know what that is.

I am just trying figure out a record import program from text file into access database using Microsoft.Jet.Oledb Provider 4.0 and Vb.net. And it seems easy but my problem is different. In the text file, records are not delimited.
Format of the text file:
Field Name & Size
Date[Date,ShortDate]FirstName[20]LastName[20]Sex[1]Age[2]
[Code]....
Can I put delimiter programmatically while reading the text file using stream reader and later simply import the whole file in DB.

I have a VB project that reads data from SQL as well as pulls data from other files into SQL. I need to import a text file into SQL table; there is no headers in the file and table in SQL is already exists. I found a code in Forum and slightly modified it, but I'm still missing something. I'm not sure how to specify that the text file is delimited with "|" character? Also - since there is no headers - not sure how to import it into correct columns? On the code below I'm getting "Insert" syntax error; on prior version of the code I was getting "field F1 doesn't exist".

I want to add the contents of a comma delimited text file(PracInfo.txt) into a Dictionary on Form_Load. The contents of the file are as follows:
wlvc,coadmin
mrmd,thadmin
ccoa,oaadmin
bfhl,bfadmin
trty,tradmin
nppp,npadmin
For example, I want the wlvc to be the key and the coadmin to be the corresponding value. The code I have so far goes as follows:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim sr As New StreamReader("C:Programming filesPracInfo.txt")
Dim openWith As New Dictionary(Of String, String)
Do While sr.Peek <> -1
strHold = sr.ReadLine()
' here I would like to use the String.Split method on strHold and then put that into the Dictionary using Dictionary.Add(Key,Value) but not sure how to do this????
Loop
End Sub
End Class

I have MyReader spit the contents of a delimited file into a text box on my form. I wanted to have the program find how many times a certain string was repeated based on a comparison between the currentfield string and my encoded search string. I thought that I could use a counter for this, but I think I may be using incorrect syntax. When the program runs, the counter doesn't increment.

I have a delimited text file, let's call it models.txt and it's delimited by a comma with carriage returns.
example:
21,Z920081
22,Z920082
59,Z930023
120,Z930027
I'm trying to input this into an array and then a combo box using:
dim item as integer
dim array() as string
dim ifile as integer
[CODE]............
What I want to do is to display the right part of the delimited text (Z920081, Z920082, etc) in the combo box. But when you select the item in the combo box, I want it to use the left part of the delimited text (21, 22, 59, 120, etc) as a variable for other use.
