Copying Specific Lines From A Text File?

Feb 8, 2012

I have 2 text files that are formatted in standard XML One of them contains some lines that need to be copied to the other. What i am trying to do is search through the first file until i see the string "<Segment" then copy all lines into a rich text box up until the string "<segment/>" I Then want to look through the other file until i find the string "<Jointfree/>" then copy the contents of the rich text box to underneath the Jointfree String I Also need to search the second file until i find the string "<Markers/>" and then paste some text into the line above the markers tag.

Find And Replace Specific Lines In A Text File

Aug 4, 2011

I have a program that will read a text file and put information from the text file into multiple text boxes. What I am trying to do now is be able to change the values in the textboxes and be able to write the specifc changes back to the text file. One way I though of doing that was using a while loop and copy the lines of the text file to another text file, then when it finds the line that has the specific change from the text box, make the change and continue writing the line until it reaches the end of the file. Then I was going to copy the file and overwrite the original, escientally making the change to the new file. Right now it will make the new file but will just make a blank text file. I think the problem is in the while loop statement but I am not sure. Here is the code below:

Code:
Private Sub submitButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles submitButton.Click
Dim trackname As String

[Code].....

Reading/Writing Specific Lines Of A Text File?

Apr 21, 2009

I'm trying to create a program that stores a users stats for their character (for something like an RPG). I know how to write more than one line in a text file, but I want to learn how to read and write text on specific lines of my file. I know that you can just read each new line individually in order using a StreamReader, such as

username.text = readLine.ReadLine()
userage.text = readline.ReadLine()

[Code]....

This is good for just displaying the stats and changing them from a constant interface, but I'm afraid that eventually I'll need to read/write specific lines, like reading the fourth line which might specify magic level, or writing a new money amount.

VS 2010 Editing Text File Specific Lines?

Feb 13, 2012

I'm new here and I'm trying to make a little program with Visual Basic (2010 Express Edition).The purpose of this program is:

1) Load the text file lines and split them into a constant and a value

2) Edit the text file lines values

The content of the text file is like this:

[Code]...

This basically split every lines in two parts: the constant ("Name", "Surname", "Age", "Hair") and the values ("Mario", "Rossi", "50", "Black").Now about the second point, I've added a Button1 which should take the Textbox1/2.Text and the Combobox1 selected item and replace the values(aka separator(1)) in the text file. The problem is I don't have any idea at the moment how to do it. What method should I use?

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?

Jun 22, 2010

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.

Read Lines From Text File 1 And Delete Those Lines From Text File 2?

Sep 15, 2009

I have a text file containing lines of data (File 1). I need to delete all the lines in another text file (File 2), which are found in file 1.So I could read file 2 line by line. And then once the line has been read, read file 1 line by line to search for a match. But that's going to be painfully slow.Or I could read file 2 into memory. And then read file 1 line by line and REPLACE the lines in file 2 with nothing, therefore deleting them. File 2 could be 100 mb, so I'm not sure about reading it all into memory.

I'm working on a program which should edit a text file by adding/deleting some specific lines.By default this text file doesn't have these specific lines, so the program will add them.But I also want it to replace them if they're already in the text file.Basically this is my idea:- Read the text file- Search the specific lines- If they exist then replace them

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)

Separating/Deleting/Copying Lines In String?

Apr 2, 2009

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?

File I/O And Registry :: Deleting Lines In A Sequential Text File?

Mar 22, 2009

I know that Deleting a specific line in a sequential text file is impossible but instead copy the needed lines and not copying the unneeded ones to an output file .. killing the old one and renaming the new one with the same.. I can't make this step...

That is my record file

Code:
Input #1, CustomerName, CustomerHomeAddress, CustomerBussAddress, CustomerTel1, CustomerMob1, CustomerID, DateRent, CarRegPin

Code:
"Josek Sam","68 West Land Street","149 Union of States","4524563","45635463","JOSKSAM1",#2009-03-02#,"MILANCGLZ2008"
"Josef Malm","142 Unions Street","64 Hamersters Street","452504","42542054","JOSFMALM2",#2009-03-06#,"MILANCGLZ2008"
"Dave Green","131 Oxford Street","96 BlueBane Route","452542452","43254345","DAVGRN3",#2009-03-07#,"MILANCGLZ2008"

I made a form that when you put your CustomerID in Text3 Box.. it access the records and make some calculations. now.. The customer will return the car.. Then his data should be deleted.. I want to know how to make that when I enter the CustomerID and press on the Command button .. It copies the other lines to a new output folder and doesn't copy these ... So it appears to be deleted using this way..
