I just started using VB2010, but I've ran into some problems. I want to make a program that modifies a .jar file. I want to add content to it using a button. But I think that it's really hard to do that, because I don't know about opening file and adding files to it, then closing it quickly again.
[Code]...
I was thinking about making a program, that could edit java files. (That contains files, like a java folder) Let's say there is a java "folder" named "javafolder.jar", and inside i have placed a few files and folders. And now i want this program to delete/edit a specific file or folder inside, or place files inside with the program.
View 1 RepliesI have a program where a lot of the required information for it is stored in text files. I simply read this information into large arrays. However, I don't think it's necessary to load all the information each time. Rather, it would be more efficient if I could simply search through a list of items to find the one I need and then use the data from it, or to find a similar name and use it elsewhere.
Would I be right in using a database? And is database programming done in SQL? I have a book on it telling me to use the SQL Server (IIRC), so I shouldn't be doing it in the VB.NET Express GUI?
Here's an example of what I would do:
Hex = 03 00 => dex number 003
Search in file Pokemon Dex Numbers
003 returns Bulbasaur
Check Bulbasaur base stats in the base stats file
etc
So basically I'm reusing a lot of information. I think a database would be best and it would all be internal right? I'm getting complaints about access denied to a text file (since it's stored in the program directory in the program files).
So to cap up the few questions I have:
-Databases are done in SQL and not inside the GUI?
-Databases would load internally?
-I could search a database without having to load it into like an array or something?
I have a text document on my server.
how I can edit the text file from my program?
I have a need to do some extensive editing on some SGML files. SGML is, of course, just tagged ASCII files. But, I need to convert that SGML to nice, neat MS Word files, with paragraph styles. I need to do extensive searching and replacing. VBA does not have the necesary regular expression support, so, I need to use VB.Net. But, I'm at a loss to do the most basic thing. I just need to know how I can open a Word file in VB.Net.

I do not want the user to make it run as an admin nor do i want to find another way to do this, because the only other way is the temp dir and when user deleted files from there it could mess it all up.

If possible i would also like to change the code i have written so it just loads January2009.txt from the "root directory" of the USB rather than having to specify H: because if i put the USB in someone elses computer this could change to G: and then it wouldn't work.

I am writing a program that will need to edit an XML file and replace it with new data. I currently have working code using XMLWriter functions, but the problem is that it rewrites the whole file, deleting anything it didn't write that time around.

View 11 RepliesI have a combobox (combobox1) with a list of countries, Canada, USA, UK as an example. For each country I have a textfile of cities.

I also have a button 'Edit Cities' What I want to accomplish is the following:Open some type of text editor (like notepad) and allow the user to either delete or add items to the list of cities then re-save the file back to the resources folder of my program.
