It's exactly as the topic says. I have a text file with an unknown amount of words, typed out like this:tastymuffinsaredeliciousWhat I need is a counter that will tell me how many words there are, and in this case (besides a tasty muffin), there are 4 words. Is there a simple way to do this?

I'm developing a program to tweak the settings of the Thief: Deadly Shadows video game.The tweaker program is designed to load and configuration profiles so the ttlg/T3Ed Guild community can share tweaks with each other and then apply those setting to the game's ini files. A little more info here: [ame=http:ur]UNDER DEVELOPMENT - Thief 3 Gold Tweaker -l.... TTLG Forums[/ame] & here are a list of tweaks the tweaker program will apply to the game: [ame=http:[url].....
Anyway, I managed to load and save the config profiles but I'm stuck on applying those settings to the game's .ini files. The main problem is finding the right string. Thief: Deadly Shadows .ini file has settings for xbox & PC. I only want to change the PC settings in DEFAULT.INI:
[XboxStartup]
ShowIntroMovies=True
ForceCopyFromHardDrive=False
ShortIntroMovies=d:content 3VideoTextureseidos-logo.bik; . . . etc.
GameStartFiles=d:MediaFont12.xpr, . . . etc.[code]....
I want to change "ShowIntroMovies=False" under the "[PCStartup]" section when the user clicks "Apply Changes" on the main form.One way I could go about this is to look for "[PCStartup]" hold the line number it's on, then look for the "ShowIntroMovies" string under that line number. There are several instances in the game's .ini files where the same setting exists but they exists under different sections. So how would I find a specific occurrence of a string?

I need some assistance because I still coming up empty on how to open up a text file and replace some words then save it as another name.
View 3 RepliesI am using the following code, but cannot get this to work. I have got it to work if the replacement is just of one word. So if the word test is replaced by mouse and the only thing in the file is the word test, it works.
How can I replace like this:
CH_IPVOD_filename.mpg > replace the CH_IPVOD_ with nothing for the result of:
filename.mpg
?
I would like to replace every instance of ch_ipvod_ with nothing.

I am making a program which generates Tambola Tickets. The program reads a list of movie names from a file and it randomly selects x no. of names per ticket and writes those names to a file.
For e.g. imagine there are 24 movie names. The program has to print 10 tickets and each ticket will habe 12 names.
I have written a program which does that but I think my random no. generator is repeating a few movie names pretty frequently.
plus I have to ensure that no one ticket can have a name repeated.
Dim NoTickets as Short = 10, Total as byte = 24 ' total = total movies in array
' Duplicate is function that ensures that no number is repeated
' MovieList is normal array with movie names

I need to fetch numbers one by one from text file, suppose i have a text file with different serial numbers, like;

SHG9001233 SHG9001234 SHG9001235
SHG9001236

there is no sequence like tab delimited, comma delimited or CL/LF, so it need to search on every prefix series and fetch entire serial number. But i have no clue how to write code in vb.net 2005.
How do i put the words in a txt file in alphabetical order using code ?
View 7 RepliesI have a text file stored as a string variable. The text file is processed so that it only contains lowercase words and spaces. Now, say I have a static dictionary, which is just a list of specific words, and I want to count, from within the text file, the frequency of each word in the dictionary. For example:
Text file:
i love love vb development although i m a total newbie
Dictionary:
love, development, fire, stone
The output I'd like to see is something like the following, listing both the dictionary word and its count. If it makes coding simpler, it can also only list the dictionary word that appeared in the text.
WORD, COUNT
love, 2
development, 1
fire, 0
stone, 0
Using a regex (eg "w+") I can get all the word matches, but I have no clue how to get the counts that are also in the dictionary, so I'm stuck. Efficiency is crucial here since the dictionary is quite large (~100,000 words) and the text files are not small either (~200kb each).
