Copy Text From A File?
Nov 10, 2010
I'm a real beginner at this stuff, so I'm grateful for this website. Anyway, I decided to create a little program as a practice and to make my life a little bit easier, but because of my low skills, I'm a little stuck. I hope this isn't too confusing. But this is what I'm trying to do.I have a text box, a button, and a combo box. I want to do the following.
1. Enter text into the text box.
2. Press the button, the name from the text box appears in combo box.
3. The program takes the text from the text box, open a text file and searches the text file for that text.
4. Once found, the program identifies the line in the text file and copies only the first numbers (id) in the file until the comma.
5. The numbers are inserted into a variable under the combo box name from the text box.
6. When the name is selected in the combo box, a website opens up and adds the id at the end of the url.
-This is an example of what the text file contents will be like.

Before I begin I would like to mention that I am not a noob in VB, it's just I've never had to do anything this complex before. Basically what I want is to have a program that you can load a txt file in, have it copy key words, and paste it in a textbox so I can use it later on. So in this text file, there is a bunch of info, but I am only needing a certain part. Here is an example of a text file (actually a .dat file, but is easily read):

I am working on a program using VB.Net 2010 which will enable me to setup groups of files & folders for back up with syncing capabilities etc. I have a concept program which is based on some sample code I found out in one of the VB.Net forums. I have modified it from a command line based program to a form based program. At the moment I consider this code to be a "concept" program which once I have the various copy/sync routines developed and debugged will be integrated in to another program I wrote for
creating "Back Up" groups to automate the process. There are some 3rd party programs that do similar things that I want to do such as Microsofts Sync Toy, but none of them offer the grouping and exclusions options that I am going to program in to this backup/sync program.
So here is my problem, I have the included code taking two folders, a source and a destination, and copying everything from the source to the destination. It will skip over any unchanged files/folders and will delete anything found in the destination folder that is not found in the source folder and it will update all files in the destination folder that have a newer version in the source folder. In other words it will mirror image the source to the destination but will be smart enough not to copy unchanged items from the source to the destination thereby saving a lot of time. The sync part of the program is working fine, the displaying of the progress and results is not.

I have used Mid,InStr and other methods to get a substring of a string from one text file and copied the required string to another text file. While I get the correct string, vbscript however generates a BLANK SPACE after evry character in the output string.
I tried to use the Replace function inorder to replace the " " with ""... but the function does not detect any blank spaces at all to replace.
Instead of copying to another file, I even tried to replace the undesired part of the string with a " " and get only the required part ... but then again it gives the same problem[ a BLANK SPACE after evry character]

I understand I've been asking alot of similar questions around this topic, but I think, with luck, and your help, this will be the last time.
I have a listbox containing x-many different values.
What I want the program to do is to overwrite a pre existing file with all these values,
that is, essentially, to do the reverse of this piece of [code]...

I'm calling a 3rd part app which 'sometimes' works in VB.NET (it's a self-hosted WCF). But sometimes the 3rd party app will hang forever, so I've added a 90-second timer to it. Problem is, how do I know if the thing timed out?
Code looks like this:
Dim MyProcess as System.Diagnostics.Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(MyInfo)
MyProcess.WaitForExit(90000)
What I'd like to do is something like this
If MyProcess.ExceededTimeout Then
MyFunction = False
Else
MyFunction = True
End If

I'm wanting to write a program where a user can copy text from a pdf file, paste it into my program and it can identify which file the text came from and where in the file the text was copied from. This is so that later on, the user can then select the pasted text, and the program can load up the source pdf and highlight the text section.Are there any components out there which I can use to accomplish this

I have a program that uses IO.File.Copy to copy files from point a to point b. Its slow, which is fine because there rather large files. I was wondering if there is way to get an estimate time to copy a particular file(s).
Example: File a will take 1 hour to copy, File B will take 30 minutes to copy. Estimate Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes.

I have a weird behavior when trying to copy a file with System.IO.File.Copy. The file never gets copied. More than that, the call doesn't generate an exeption!
I am using VB.NET, Framework 3.5. I'm trying to copy in C:Temp and I do have the privileges. Or at least I used to...

I just started using VB.Net, in fact I have just started to try and teach myself some programming.I have a program where I have 11 RTBs. What I want to do is save the text in the first box to the other 10 boxes by using a button assigned to each of those ten boxes.So when click the button for box2 it then shows the text that is in box1 and if I click the button for box 8 it will show the text from box 1 etc. Now I could just use
RichTextBox2.Text = RichTextBox1.Text.at each button click and just change the receiving textbox number, but that's quite a few button clicks to write code to.Is there a better way to do it? as I am just learning I'd always like to find the best way to do things.

I've got an app which uses a background worker to copy files. It works fine but some files are quite large and it "appears" as though the app isn't doing anything. Is there an alternative to the File.Copy method of copying files so I can report on the progress of individual file copies, like the percentage complete?

I am wondering if Global.asa can handle a procedure like this:
Protected Sub errore(tipo As Int16)
'Response.Write(Err.Description) 'or your own custom error message
Dim msg As String

The idea is to have a central place to put the routine in instead to copy it into every .vb file that belongs to each .apsx code file.

I have a program that I copy a file from one server to another. This has been working well if the servers are on the same domain.I now need to copy a file to a server on a different domain. If I were to do this manually it would prompt me for my username and password.
I don't see any way to put a username and password with doing an IO.File.Copy. Is there a better way to do this?IO.File.Copy(strSource, strDest)
