Create A Text File Or See If A Text File Exists When Application Starts?
Nov 3, 2009I want to create a text file or see if a text file exists when application starts. The problem I was having was after creating the text file, I tried to write to text file and got an error saying that another process was using it.
Dim test As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyDocuments & " est1.txt"
If System.IO.File.Exists(test) Then
MsgBox("File Loaded")

I looked up topics on filestream, but am unsure if this is how to use it. Is my code ok? Is there another way to create a text file?
Create And Write To A New Text File From An Existing Text File?
Sep 2, 2009I have a very large text file about 4 million lines that I would like to separate into several small text files based on the strings contained in the first column of the text file. I want to open the large text file, choose the lines that apply, create a new text file with a name that has a number at the end of which will match up with the value in the first column of the text file. I want to then copy the applicable lines to the new small text file, save and close it. I'm not sure how to go about doing this after opening the large text file and using the readline method. What if the folder does not exist? Do we have to create it? I want this procedure to be general, as there could be up to 25 million lines in the text file.
View 13 RepliesCreate Log File To Track Progress And Populate Controls Via Text File Or XML File?
May 22, 2009I am trying to create a log file which I am going to use to populate some controls (DataGridView or Treeview). I am trying to figure out if should use text files or XML files to do so. Effectively the log will highlight multiple phases in a client-side app. The log will be written to at various phases when the project is running. The user will always have the options move on to the next phase or save progress and exit the project. As such, I want the log file to highlight how far the user has progressed throught the various phases AND I want the log to highlight varous information from each phase. Whenever the user starts the project, they will be given the option to load existing log files. So the project will have to read these log files and append them where necessary as the user progresses.
I am not sure what the best way to do this is and below is a rudimentary approach using text files. As you can see, the top of the file would have a summary of all the phases and whether or not the user completed each phase. Next each phase would have a data section highlighting what data was stored along the way. I have used a ":" to denote each section. Then within each section I would obviously need to use a delimeter for all my data. So if Phase1 = True, then I would load all the pertinent data from "Phase1:" into the desired control. Can anyone provide an efficient way of doing this and provide some insight as to whether I should use XML instead. The phases my change during development and I am not sure yet which controls I will be using. Does XML provide more flexibility.
In summary I am looking to create, read/write and append log files and populate controls with the data in varous sections of the log file. Example:
Phase1 = True
Phase2 = True
Phase3 = False
Phase4 = False

Create File From SQL Text Field
Jan 16, 2009I have been trying to figure out how to take text i have in a SQL text field and create the correct document from it. Here is the info i have in SQL: MIMEType is a string field that contains one of the following "application/pdf", "application/msword", "application/vnd.ms-excel" or a few others. DocumentBody is a text field that looks like "0M8R4KGxGuEPgADAP7/CQA" this continues for quite a bit. FileName is a string field that contains the original file name such as "test.doc" or "test.pdf"
I have tried using the System.IO.FileStream and System.IO.StreamWriter but in the document it actually writes the text that is desplayed in DocumentBody. I assume I am missing some way to decode this using the MIMEType but i just can not seem to find it.

Once in a .txt file I can load data in a variety of ways into several ListBox/s and labels without loading and reading the original Excel file.

I am talking about things like functions, graphs, etc.
