I have certain files that need deleted every time I run my program. There are some files that start with f. and then end with .00000668 or .00005396 and so on. Here is my coding that is not working to delete the f files.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to delete all the files in the same folder that have the same name but different extensions, such as CurrentWallpaper.bmp, CurrentWallpaper.jpg, CurrentWallpaper.png, without putting them in a separate folder. How could I go about doing this? I tried doing
Dim bg As String = dir + "" + Login.UsernameTextBox.Text
Kill(bg + "CurrentWallpaper.*")
but it didn't work. PS: I would also like to use the same technique for loading the image as a background image instead of having to do this:
Try
If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(Login.UsernameTextBox.Text + "/CurrentWallpaper.jpg") Then
Me.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile(Login.UsernameTextBox.Text + "/CurrentWallpaper.jpg")
End If

I'm working on trying to split a large file from say 3gb to multiple 500mb files with a .1, .2, .3 etc... extension. My output is one 500mb file and one 28kb file. What I'm missing to continue reading the filestream into the 2nd split file.

How is it possible to delete all the items from a ListBox that have the same extension? This is in particular to video files that have have extensions of .mpg, .modd and .moff. I can populate the ListBox with just the .mpg files but I would like to know how I can remove the other file types should I put the whole lot in.Also, presumably using similar coding, it it posssible to highlight all lines with a particular extension?

I'm getting an "Illegal characters in path" error. How can I fix this?
How can I write this
Path = "C:"
For Each FoundFile In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(Path, FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, "FILE*.10") _
And For Each FoundFile In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(Path, FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, "FILE*.09")
'do code
Next My goal is simply to search for multiple file extensions. I cant use FILE* as my search parameter as this returns other files e.g FILE2012.10z which i don't want.
How can I filter on multiple file extensions when using IO.DirectoryInfo.GetFiles?
View 3 Repliesthe problem is I'm trying to access a file that has no file extension. I think you can see why this is so difficult. The specific file I'm trying to edit is the hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts).
View 2 RepliesHow would I loop through a directory recursively, and get a list of ALL file extensions used, not duplicating any of them? It could just output to the debug window. Or perhaps write to the database and have the database filter the duplicates. So it would be great to see...

I'm writing a program that allows users to view certain files using a DataGridView as the selection method I can do most of that just fine. Here's the part I'm having trouble with: I want to open the files using whatever program they have associated with the file extension. After researching it (on these forums), I determined that I should use the Process.Start() method. However, Windows throws an Win32Exception if there is no association to the filetype, and I want it to show the "Open With" dialog instead, and I can't figure out or find how to do that.

View 2 RepliesI'm building a tool that consists of a Webservice that will run commandline tools at specific times. On average there will be running 15-20 CL tools at the same time. Every CL tool runs no longer than about 0,5-1 minute on average. The webservice needs to be able to check each CL's status every 2-3 seconds or so.
I've got some advice about how to do this; named pipes looks likes the best "technical" solution. However I'm wondering if communicating with simple very small text "status" files would be a better, less complicated and less error-risk, way. I prefer the solution that is the most resource friendly.
I have a website that has highly granulised access and hence requires many web.config files. The problem is I would like to trim the menu so that only certain users will have access to certain folders. I have enabled trimming and setup roles in the sitemap, however when I access the page the menu is not show, as I am authorized to view the default page which is not in a subfolder. When I type the url of a page in sub folder's I have access.
How should I handle this:
A site map for each web.config file - don't know how this will work Removing the sub web.config file to only use a single one
I know this is out there and probably illogical but I was wondering if it was possible to take multiple picture files and compact them into one file.... and then retrieve them from the program later? Way to combine any amount of image files into one file

I'm developing an application to help law enforcement retrieve and analyze logs and other files left by the use of Pidgin (a multi-protocol messenger client). Right now I'm nearly done, but I want to add the ability to search chat logs for user-defined words or phrases and I don't even know where to begin.
Chat logs are stored as html documents in a folder/sub-folder/sub-folder/sub-folder fashion, where each sub-folder can have dozens of sub-folders inside of it, and the final sub-folder can have dozens if not hundreds of chat logs. If anybody could point me in the right direction, I'd be very grateful.
