Creating A Text File?
Mar 15, 2012
I have a project for school where I am to create some form of security for an application, our brief was to basically to create and hide a text file in the applications program files (not all that secure really, but heh I don't write the briefs) So I have created the code and form to check that a users security key is valid it all works perfectly in the debugger, it writes the file to the specified directory, however when I run the application on a computer (after deploying it with the correct directories being set up, it never creates the .txt file to write the information created during "Authentication" - I am really confused and I am not sure if this is part of the "problem" I am supposed to be solving for school, or whether this is just some crazy exception that has been thrown up

I created an application that when a user logs onto their Windows account, a Form is displayed outlining the current Computer Usage policy set by the insitution and gives the user two options either Agree or Dis-Agree. The two options are in the form of buttons, with events that depending on what the user clicked, will create a log text file at a specified location, with enteries of Date,Time,CurrentUser, and if they agreed or disagreed. If they agreed the application after creating/amending the file will then terminate, otherwise it will update the file and then force Windows to logoff the current user.
Now I made a shortcut of the .exe of the application and placed it in the startup for all users, and yes the application loads at startup for all the users following the procedures mentioned above. The problem I am facing is, that if the current user logs off, or is forced to log off, and another user logs onto Windows, goes through the whole ordeal mentioned above, the application is denied access to the logfile that was created under the previous user, and thus crashes.
So my question is, how can I created a text file using vb 2008 application, that is accessible by multiple Windows users. I have even tried changing the location of the created file to the shared folder, but the end result is the same.

im trying to get my streamwriter to create a new file with its name derived from textbox1 but i also need to add loads of other text from buttons and textboxs in my form. At present the code sometimes says part of file path not recognised, think it looks like the textbox1 text. but when i get to this point where it works it wont create a new file.
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Using SW As New System.IO.StreamWriter("C:documentsandsettingsliamDesktop" & TextBox1.Text & ".txt")
SW.WriteLine(TextBox1.Text)

Is there any tool I can use to create a report from a pipe-delimited file? This report will need to have multiple fonts on the same line and be "programmable". I need to be able to loop through a section to output detail data to the report, keeping track of how many records are output.

I have written a text editor for an assignment but I am struggling on where to start on this bit. What I Want To Happen:- When the user saves there work I want the name of the file to be shown next to the name of the program at the top left hand side of the form. I am not sure If I just need to create a simple sub routine for adding the name of the file then calling the method in the save as routine.

I have a Comma Separated value file in .txt format... simply put, its a bunch of data delimited by commas and text qualifier is separated with ""For example:
"So and so","1234","Blah Blah", "Foo","Bar","","","",""
"foofoo","barbar","etc.."
Where ever there is a carriage return it signifies a new row and every comma separates a new column from another.My next step is to go into VB.net and create an array using these values and having the commas serve as the delimeter and somehow making the array into a table where the text files' format matches the array After that array has been created, I need to select only certain parts of that array and store the value into a variable for later use.... how to make the array and selecting the certain info out of it..

I'm looking for a way to (easily, by preference ;)) create a download link to a file on a separate file server.The situation is as follows: the application I'm developing (asp.net 2.0 in vb.net but I have a similar issue in c#, either solution works for me) will be run internally for a company.As is good practice, the file storage and web application are on two separate servers.I basically need to be able to create a download link to a file, the only available URL i have to access the file is servernamefolder1folder2folder3file.txt (can be any sort of file)[code]Which doesn't work for obvious reasons. It used to be set up to write that file to the application path itself and that worked perfectly, but it isn't good practice and that's why I'm changing it (or trying to).I read solutions about creating a download page and then having a table in your DB which holds the links and returns the proper web URL for download but the time constraint I am faced with unfortunately doesn't allow me to develop that.
Assuming I can provide a string with the full filepath to the file like the above, what is the easiest way to just create a link that, when clicked, downloads the document? I have 0 admin rights in this environment. That really isn't helping me. Let's assume I am given the correct link like above and have the appropriate file access rights and such.The above example does work in IE, but not in Firefox and Chrome. IE converts it to a file://servername/... link which does what it's supposed to, but FF and Chrome both actively decided that this is unsafe and have disabled it from their browsers.

Hi, i'm trying to use the treeview to display the text of a rtf (rich text file) file when an specific node if clicked.HomeOMGWOOTFor example, if i pick OMG, i want the text of lol.rtf to be displayed on a richtextbox. But somehow i just can't manage to get it... I know to import the text of a .txt file to a textbox, but using the treeview makes it more complicated.This is the code im using right now:
Private Sub TreeView1_NodeMouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.TreeNodeMouseClickEventArgs) Handles TreeView1.NodeMouseClick
Select Case e.Node.Index
Case 0
[code]....
Another thing is, that i can't import the *.rtf text into a richtextbox and i don't know why.

So I'm in the final stages of finishing a program I've been working on for nearly a year now, and this is basically my final hurdle. The Save dialogue is working beautifully, with 'flags' in order to switch it over from the regular input into text boxes to the Listbox input protocol.
However, I'm having a *** of a time getting it to take lines from the text file and put them in the proper text box. Here is an example file:
Quote:
SHOWNAME
CALLNAME
BREED
[Code]....
So with the sample file I provided above, in the textbox named callNameText would appear "SHOWNAME", and so on and so forth. With this build, I get a NullReferenceException on the "Me.Controls(strboxNames(i)).Text() = strAllText(ati)" line.

I am creating a text converter, that allows the user to input text to a multi-line textbox, called "Input".The text to input in the box is like this: "CreateObject(3524, 213.53, 1748.10, 17.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00);".Then I want the application to read all the coordinates insidde the () and output it in another textbox called "output".
The output is supposed to have this format: "CreateDynamicObject(3524, 213.53, 1748.10, 17.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0, 0, -1, 200);". Note the coordinates inside the () are the same as in the input format, but "CreateObject" is replaced with "CreateDynamicObject", and ", 0, 0, -1, 200" is added after the coordinates inside the ().I already created all the boxes etc, only thing needed is the coding.

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.

I am making just a simple program that will create backup dummies of all the files in a specified folder. All I have is 2 text boxes, A and B, and a button to do the magic. What I want is for the user to input into Text Box A the location of all the files, and in Text Box B place in the destination folder, then when the button is pressed it will get the name of each file using a loop and recreate a new file with the same name and extension in the destination folder.For example:
C:FolderX has 10 files in it, each with the same extension (.wav), each file is ranging from 10mb to 100mb (this size is irrelevant)
C:FolderY is empty
What I want to do is create each file from X into Y, however the files are all 0 bytes (no data inside them). I've managed to get a simple script that will do what I need but only if I specify the file name:
Code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim Filename As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetName(TextBox1.Text + "test.wav")
Dim SaveP As New System.IO.StreamWriter(TextBox2.Text + Filename)
SaveP.Close()
MsgBox("Files Created")
But what I need is someone to show me how to create a loop that will do this for each file in the folder, without me specifying each filename.

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:

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.
