I want to scrape string data from some binary text files that contain embedded SQL tatements. I don't need any fancy cleanup--just some way to extract the readable text
I wrote a programme about 12 years ago in visual basic 3.Since then I have moved interstate and changed jobs quite a few time and lost the original Visual Basic 3 discs.Visual Basic 3 saved the files in a binary format that has not been used in any other version of Visual Basic. So now I cannot read or modify the files.
I am fairly new to vb.net but was programming a long ime with vb6 I have a binary file that is a mixture of numbers (integers and doubles) and strings, such as "Programming with VB". I read the numbers using the BinaryStreamReader.ReadInt32 and BinaryStreamReader.ReadDouble, which are no problem
I'm having problem reading Binary file that has two types of data in it; Strings and numeric data in decimal format.[code]...
1. The loop doesn't stop, and it gives me "Unable to read beyond the end of the stream" Error..
2. The output isn't accurate, apart from a few random correct strings and numbers..
3. After the loop is fixed, how can i save the data to an Array or write it to a text file?. Can the be saved line by line so that the output file has the same number of lines?
4. As you can see in the code, I've tried writing data in a file, but it doesn't work.. Messagebox does show some data (even though it's not accurate), the file however doesn't contain any data..
I have a DataGridView that has some columns with dates. It binds to an in-memory Datatable which gets loaded from an string array of data passed back from the backend Some of the rows returned have nulls for the date columns. Solution 1: If I define the Date column in the DataTable as "string" I can easily convert those nulls to empty strings and display it in the grid as empty strings (desired results). However, if the user clicks on the date column header to sort by date, it doesn't order the rows as you want. You get a purely string sort order. Not acceptable
I'm trying to read back a string that I wrote into a binary file, but it's giving me problems and I don't know what's going on. I open and read my file using the code below:
ifstream input([filePath UTF8String], ios::in | ios::binary); int numStringBytes; input.read((char*)&numStringBytes, 4);

There is a lot more to the file reading code, but it's proprietary and this is the part that keeps crashing. It runs fine loading the first two files, but when I try to open a third file, it crashes with EXC_BAD_ACCESS at the input.read((char*)names, numStringBytes); line. I don't see any reason that this should crash. I'm writing the binary files in VB.NET using the below code:
Dim myFS As New FileStream(savePath, FileMode.Create) Dim encoding As New System.Text.UTF8Encoding() Dim stringBytes() As Byte = encoding.GetBytes("++string")
How do I convert this file (Attached) to a readable text file (its XML code).I found code here and there but doesnt work. I want to grab the whole file and dump it back out as readable text.
I have created in Visual Studio 2008 a Form with two buttons, a PictureBox and a TextBox. I've made the first button to load an image from my hard disk and I want to make the second button to convert the image into binary code and show the string in the TextBox. Image format is Jpeg. Here's the code for the first button:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile("D:\Pa.Pei\Pa.Pei. - Ergasies\4o Έτος\Ανάλυση Εικόνας\011.jpg")
I've used .NET for a long time now but I have come across something I haven't had to do before and I'm struggling to work it out. What I need to do is work with binary numbers and convert them to decimals and vice versa but not necessarily using even numbers e.g. I would like to represent a number between 0 and 2047 which can be represented with 11 binary digits. Plus I want to represent a second number between 0 and 500000 which can be represented with 19 binary digits, and a third number, fourth etc. Then I want to string the whole binary results together and split it in to sections of lets say 5 bits each and convert those back to decimal.
I need to convert a Short to his binary equivalent. For example:Dim x As Short = 20480 And then I need a method to get the binary thingy, which in this case is: 101000000000000
I searched for a answer using google, but I couldn't find a proper explanaition.
Id like to create a simple program consisting two textboxes and a button, "whats the point i hear you ask?" simple, id like to be able to enter in a string into the first textbox, press the button and then have it converted into binary and displayed into the second textbox.
I got to a snag recently in the program. I know exactly what is going wrong, and I know exactly what will fix it. However, I do not know how to code what I need.
Code: 'a function to determine whether the pokemon is shiny Function SHINY(ByVal data() As Byte, ByVal IDnumber As Integer, ByVal SIDnumber As Integer)

So as you can see, I need to convert a binary string into an integer so it will work properly. Everything else is fine, I've tested it out a lot and done a lot of debugging, even manually, and I'm sure everything will work. All I need is the code to convert it.
converting an image file into binary text in VB 2010.I am working on a compression program and need to see the actual binary as text. I have code for converting text files to binary and it works fine but, need to attempt files with greater randomness that are typically uncompressable.(JPG's) I understand that the file conversions may be huge. I plan on manipulating the binary in smaller manageable chunks.
How can i convert a string to binary (8-Bit Binary to be specific) in vb.net?Dim ThnkU as ThankYouNote ThnkU.note="Thanks for your help" ThnkU.Name="Dustin_K" Dim PS as string = "Mark my post
How can I convert a subnetmask into binary, so I'll end up with 32 digits? I can convert it into Binary, using Convert.ToString(Long-to-convert, 2). But a subnetmask of 255.255.255.0 returns(it returns it without the spaces though):
1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 0 When I want it to be: 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 0000 0000

I'm currently working on a program that would take the binary data from my access database and convert it back into jpeg format so I can store the images in a folder. I'm really new to VB so right now I'm pretty much stumped.

I would like to convert an Bitmap image to an icon in VB.NET but I have to use the binary data of each to somehow accomplish that. Doing research on Bitmap I found how the files are structured. I know that bitmaps have the Bitmap Filer header, Bitmap infoheader, and the colorallet. Each of these contain a certain amount of bytes, and I a have to get these from the bitmap file. The icon header and info header are similar to the bitmap. I know that there are libraries in VB.NET that do that easily, butthis is for a project for school and I am not supposed to use that. I just want to ask how
I'm supposed to convert the string in one textbox to binary, and display it as binary, in another textbox. I can make this part work, but when I want to convert it from binary and back to text, it all goes bananas.Here's the code I'm using for the conversion:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs ) Handles Button1.Click
