Copying Lines From Tab Delimited TextFile?
Apr 26, 2009
I have a tab delimited text file as so :
name loan period loan amount
John 5 years 6000
Sarah 5 years 6000
Jane 1 month 100
I'm looking to copy the lines where "loan period" = "5 years" to where "loan period" = "1 month", in order to show the comparison. The new lines would be appended at the end of the resulting file. The ultimate end result I hope to achieve is this :
name loan period loan amount
John 5 years 6000
Sarah 5 years 6000
Jane 1 month 100
John 1 month 100
Sarah 1 month 100
I've been toying about this with Visual Basic .Net, and so far, this is what I've come up with
Dim strData As String
Dim i As Short
Dim strLine() As String
lngSize = 0
FileOpen(1, txtloanlistinput.Text, OpenMode.Input)

I am trying to create a textfile and write some lines into the textfile. However, the code that i am using can only write when the textfile is already created in the directory.
For this case, can i actually allow my script to search if a textfile is being created, if not create a textfile ???
Dim pathdir As String = "C:workingdir est.txt"
If System.IO.File.Exists(pathdir) = True Then
Dim objWriter As New StreamWriter(pathdir)

I am relatively new to VB. I was initially using fileopen, writeline, and fileclose to create, write to, and close a comma delimited file. But recently I attended a training course where the instructor mentioned that these old methods will be going away and I should try and use Streamwriter instead. I was successful in converting some of my code to StreamWriter when creating a simple text file using WriteLine.
For example: myStreamWriter.WriteLine(text). But this writes an entire line of text.
I cannot see to find any information on how to create a comma-delimited file using StreamWriter. My old code was something like this: Writeline(filenumber, field1, field2, field3, field4). How to do the same thing with StreamWriter?

[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]

I have a txt document here that have certain word on it per line. How can I show it in different labels. I have 25 labels and have label name as followsword1,word2,word3,word4,word5 and so on up to word25. I want the word 1 label will show the first line of the text file and the second word2(label name) will show the second line of the textfile and so on up to the 25th line . Can it be done using loop?I tried but I dont know exactly how readline process works to identify certain lines you want to read and also I tried using the "i" variable to auto generate the name of my label but it did not work.

I have two text files and each text file has various columns (each column is separated by a tab " "), now some of the fields in column1 text file2 match the fields in column1 text file1. What I'm trying to achieve is to remove every row in text file 1 where the field in column1 matches the field in column 1 textfile 2 - is this possible?I have used some basic coding in the past to remove certain lines, but nothing as complex as this.
Dim linesList As New List(Of String)(File.ReadAllLines("Path"))
linesList.RemoveAt(1)
File.WriteAllLines("Path", linesList.ToArray())

I have a textfile I need to open and I need to put each line into the array. What is the simplest way to add the elements/each line's data into the array while increasing the array as it reads each line? This is blowing my mind right now..I thought about using a counter and then redim-ing the array (while preserving of course).

I use the following coding to replace a word in my textfile, would it be possible to add any coding that will remove all blank lines from the same text file?
Dim EditMyFile As String = IO.Path.Combine("D:Test.txt")
Dim inputFile = Regex.Replace(IO.File.ReadAllText(EditMyFile), "test", "test2")
IO.File.WriteAllText(EditMyFile, inputFile)
I have tried the following but it doesnt work.
Dim EditMyFile As String = IO.Path.Combine("D:Test.txt")
Dim inputFile = Regex.Replace(IO.File.ReadAllText(EditMyFile), "test", "test2")
IO.File.WriteAllText(EditMyFile, inputFile)
Dim sText As String = File.ReadAllText("D:Test.txt")
Dim sNewLines() As String = sText.Split(New Char() {ControlChars.Lf}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
File.WriteAllLines("D:Test.txt", sNewLines)

Im working on this webbrowser and i have fully integrated a working Proxy (it will use a proxy such as 100.00.00:0000)It will only change the proxy ip if you do the code:RefreshIESettings("100.00.00:0000")(That is a code i made, declared i mean)Anyway so heres what i wanna do:I want to have a richtextbox or something, with lines of proxy ips, such as this:
100.00.01:0000
100.00.02:0002
100.00.03:0003
[code]....
So i thought maybe if you convert that richtextbox text into a string, it might be easier?

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

how to count the lines in textbox1.text (with multiplelines). I don't need to count each character. I only need to count each line from top to bottom in textbox1.text (multiplelines) and I will use Label1 to display the numbers.
example:
1-pauljaones
2-tommyperrry
3-marktoms
4-Jonessmith
5-paulwhite
Obviously this is 5 lines and that's what I need to count.

I have written a simple script to get a bunch of lines from a text file (they will be filenames eventually) which are split by new lines and puts each one into an array..
Dim ary() As String
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists("C:MenuFiles.txt") Then
[code]....
The only thing I can do for now is either use the substring function to remove the first character from all array values after 0 but I don't like that because it's messy and what if the split "works" as I want it to one one of the lines and knocks of the first character when I don't want it to.

I would like to know a way (of course I want to know the best way) to edit a csv file, preferably without having to read the original and write the results to a new one.
Example 1: I want to split the contents of a column into two columns 123abc into 123, abc
Example 2: I want to remove letters from the beginning of a column AB123 into 123
Clarification: I do not need help solving my examples; I just need to be pointed in the right direction of reading and editing the same file.Here is a code example of using a temporary file that seems to me is too slow
Dim currentLine as string()
tempFile.AutoFlush = True

I've created a program that will allow me to save user input into a text file on my C: drive. I'm trying to figure out a way where the text will be saved using a tab delimiter (I'm still new to Visual Basic.NET 2003). What I have to do is get the information to save in the form of columns and rows so that when the text file is opened using Microsoft Excel (ex. Microsoft Excel 2007), all of the information will be saved in its own columns and rows without any manual intervention (ex. no changing column widths or anything like that).
Here is my code so far.
HTML
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
End Sub
[code]....
When opening the text file using Microsoft Excel, Excel should display the data like this:
Name | Mailing Address | Age
John | 2300 J. Street | 19
modify my code (so that the information will be using a tab delimiter) whereas the text can open up in the right rows and columns in Excel after a user has submitted the data to the text file.

Here's an example data table (the data are fake, but in the same format as my business data coming from an external system):
R1 Pears,Apples,Bananas 10
Oranges 5
R2 Apricots 15
[code]....
The data are in a string. Columns are tab-delimited, lines are CRLF-delimited. Output should be the same. Multiple values are comma-delimited.
Here's the "flattened" output desired:
R1 Pears 10
R1 Apples 10
R1 Bananas 10
[code]....
Each column is filled down where there are blanks, and columns with multiple values (comma-delimited) are duplicated and filled down in the other columns.Complicating assumption: the number of columns in the input is arbitrary.Simplifying assumption: only one column will be comma-delimited.I'm working through this with a relatively naive solution (loops and some recursion), but I'd love to see if this is a situation where LINQ or some other solution would be more appropriate.I'm working in VB.NET at the moment, but C# is fine too.
