I am trying to write a program that writes information from texts boxes to a text file on the users hard drive. I would like to create a new text file if one already exists, for example if text1.text exists, it creates a new text file called text2.text, then if text2.text exists it creates text3.text and so on. Here is what I have so far:
[Code]...
I've tried fooling around with if statements to create a new file but it doesn't seem to be working. Additionally, How can I write to a new line in a text file. For example there are 4 text boxes and each string from each text box gets its own line.
I have a series of text files in multipule diffrent sub directories. I found the following functions on the Internet:
CODE:
The functions will make a direcotry tree in my debug window, that looks something like this:
CODE:
What I want it to do is to have it return an array of relitive file paths, from the starting direcotry I give the function. Then I will use a loop to cycle though each file in the array to make certain changes.
I am a beginner in vb 10 (vb.net). I am trying to create a text file "something.txt" and write a long string to the file. My string contains formatting chars newline and carriage return, which I want to keep.
I tried: FileToSave.Write("test" & Chr(10) & Chr(13) & "test2", RichTextBoxStreamType.RichText)
using the System.IO.StreamWriter method but the line feeds and carriage returns are lost and all the text is just streamed together with no formatting.
Where 'FileToSave' is the path and name of the file. Note: I know I can use the vbnewline instead of chr(x) but this is not the issue.
what i am doing is downloading headers from a web server using a tcpclient which works great the headers describe diffrent files and there are hundreads per file, if i download the headers and write them to a text file using a streamwriter it works great, but i need the headers to be in a text file depending on the name of the file in the header, so i need them grouped together, i am now using streamwriter to write the headers to seperate textfiles depending on the filename in the header but it is reallllyyyy slow for some reason, im not sure if it is because it has to load each file then write to it? i only have to append the new header to the end of the text file i dont have to open it up and read through it.
I have a series of files in different folders. Is there any way to open these files automatically search for lines containing fullBod and delete them completely? Then, close the file and save the changes? This tool should be able to process several files at once in a directory. clock [t= 83] SetSwitch [figure= fullBod switch= walk_across state= 01]
Ok, so today I wasted a bit of time looking for ways to use a text file to save login information. Basically, there are two fields, username and password, and two buttons, sign up and log in. When you click the log in button, I want it to verify the information entered in the fields, and when you click sign up, I want it to add the information to the file. It doesn't seem that difficult, but I'm have a lot of trouble finding a way to do it. I would be very grateful if I could find assistance with this on these forums.
P.S. If it was my decision it would obviously be using a database, but for this particular program I need to be using text files.
I am trying to create a simple form that displays a series of 9 images that will create an animation. the image files are all the same size and spell out a word..
Ok I know this question has been asked to death but I still have not seen a good answer. I have created an application in VS2010 using VB.NET. In my application I have an error log that is an XML file located in the Public gstLocalErrorLogLocation As String = Application.StartupPath & "ErrorLog"that gets written to in the event of an error so I can trouble shoot application easier. My application also downloads files from our FTP site and puts the files in Public gstLocalDownloadLocation As String = Application.StartupPath & "download"So I have files that get read and written to as well and created and deleted all in the Application.StartupPath which is either "c:Program Files(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File)" or "c:Program Files (x86)(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File)" depending on 32bit or 64bit Windows 7.
After creating the setup I install it on my test machine that have both Windows 7 32bit and 64bit.Everything in the application works great till I have to write to, delete or creat a file in those directories above. I know it is an access issue and the UAC. This will get installed on numerous systems so the options I have seen to change file or folder permission on the computers manually is not an option.What has to happen is after I install the application it just works like when you install it on XP. Some post have suggested that you us a user with administrator privilages or group which is all fine and dandy but the user I have used to test the application has all of that.
So what I am asking is how do you create an application with VS2010 in VB.NET that after creating a setup package and installing on Windows 7 will just work with out "Access to the path c:Program Files(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File) is denied." If I have to install this on 100 Windows 7 computers it has to be a concreate no manually doing anything just install and work like when we installed on XP.
I'm doing a web application in which the user must make a series of figures such as rectangles, text boxes and lines, Is something like like google docs draw
Im designing a program that will read from various text files (preferably RTF files) and then put them into the RTF box in the program when a button is clicked.
Here is the portion of my code that i am referring to.
Try Dim fileText As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("c:\" & selectedHero & ".rtf")
Catch MsgBox("Selected Hero currently has no File with us.") End Try
Now heres the problem. In the file i have a few pictures and its formatted and what not. I thought since its a RTF file and the Box is RTF it would auto format.... but anyways. It appears like this in the RTF Box.
On a image file (PDF), the OCR has recognised the picture and text. However on Visual Basics, how do you search for a text on this image file? The primary goal is to allow a text search (i.e POxxxxx) on all the image files (PDFs). The returns of the search will be the assciated image files where the text (i.e POxxxxx) is found on.
I want to add multiple files to a single compressed file using System.IO.Compression. And extract them back...So I found this code on MSDN which works fine, but does not support adding multiple files into 1 single compressed file. [URL]
Is there a way that I can create images (bitmap, tiffs, whatever) from txt,docx,pdf,or rtf files?
One idea that I found was creating a Metafile from the file. However I am get GDI+ errors with the palette. how to get around that? Do you think this is the right track?
Dim gr As Graphics = Me.picFile.CreateGraphics() 'i am really not using a picture box, but I thought if it helps, why not?
I am attempting to add code to an existing script that will add the log messages to the log txt file in order to determine which loops are running in the script. But all I get is either a blank log file or only one line which I believe is the last loop that ran and not a concatination of the loops that ran which I know is more than one.
How do I create a log file that will continualy grow?
These log calls are placed in each of my loops (I am just showing 2 as an example.)
i am making a simple form which can create the text file from the database table , for this , i am using this code at the load event of my form so that it can create the files at the load time.
this code is working fine , but when i try to write my data in these file then the error come which is "the process cannot access the file 'c:owns.txt' because it is used by another process" i dont know where this file is used by my computer?
Ok I have a application that works great on XP, but in windows 7 it will not let me write to my login file, says access is denied since I am not running as admin. Log file is located in "C:Program FilesCompany NameProductMyLog.LOG"
I want to create files based on the particular value of supplied recordset using the StreamWriter at RunTime. The files will be dynamic these will be create based on particular field.Example: If I have list of employees, I don't know from which city of the country they came from. I want to create a different files for every city and write those employees in to the corresponding files at runtime.
I am planning on sending some of my friends and colleagues a copy of a program that I made. For this program I was going to include a .zip file of some extras for them to look at. Is there a way in VB.NET to create a .zip folder, copy things from the program's resources into the .zip folder, and then later on be able to unpack them? PS - The purpose of this is to copy items from the resources into the .zip folder so that I can send everything in one program.
I have seen a few .NET apps use .db files. I am not new to Visual Basic, however I have never created a VB app that uses databases. I do know PHP pretty well, and working with databases in PHP I am familiar with.
I recently started having problems when creating new schema (xsd) files inside Visual Studio 2008. When I create a new schema file, the only file that is created is the xsd file itself. Neither the designer.vb or xsc files are created, which of course makes it unusable. The problem seems to be caused by the fact that the CustomTool property in the property grid is missing. If I change the CustomTool property to MSDataSetGenerator, then it immediately runs and creates the missing files noted above. How do I reassociate the CustomTool with Schema files?
i have an old VB6 system that generates plain text files. When this old system writes "A" into the file, it writes (hex) "41". For an "ä" (a-umlaut, special gernam character), it writes (hex) "E4".
Now i have to process files like this in VB.Net. when i open such a file in the IDE, it displays correctly "ä" (But not always!). To see what i mean, please open a notepad and create a new file "ae.txt" with content: äöü. Now your file contains exactly 3 bytes: (hex) E4 F6 FC.
But when i write code like Dim strTest As String strTest = File.ReadAllText("ae.txt") Debug.Print(InStr(strTest, "ä"))
i get 0 - so i cannot find back the "ä" - what do i need to do, to find it? And 2) for compatibility reasons, i have also to be able to create such files. How to do that? Seems the different encoding types do not work as i think.
I am trying to create a program which will read the files that exist in a directory, and then write in a text file the specific information (full file name, date created)i have found several code in the site but i cant make it work, the machine i am running the code is XP and i am using VB2008.The code i have found is the following:
im trying to split a folder of text files into several folders of no more then 12 files a piece, we have wedding photos 1-144 which would like to have um split into folders of 1-12,13-25 etc, found something that might work but it does it by files size

I am using Visual Studios 2005 and I am creating an application for our IT Security.Part of the program is for documents and procedures. What I am trying to do is automatically create a menu based on the folders and files. So far I have it taking into account the base folder and one subfolder level and files within it, but I want it to automatically also take into account any subfolders and files that may be added at a later date without having to replicate the code below for each new level. My code is as follows, it is very messy as I am not a programmer.
Code: Public Sub ISMSMenus() Dim clsMenuName As ToolStripMenuItem = CType((My.Forms.FrmMainScreen.TSMISMS), ToolStripMenuItem)[code]....
i've been looking at something like this A Simple Beep - Reminiscing about ZX Spectrum audio - CodeProject But is not what i'm looking for. I want to know how to create a wav or a mp3 file using the system Beep!Simple i want to write a wav file with the specific Console.Beep(700, 220) Sound.
