Editing A Text File In An Application?
Jan 5, 2011
how to edit a text file that I have placed in a folder inside my application. The path to the file is "G:MyStuffEvolution_ Data_Extraction_v1Text Filess.txt" and I use a StreamReader to edit the file. However, once the file is edited, if I open the file in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, the file is empty. Can anyone tell me how I can change? I also fear that once the application is deployed, the file path will no longer work as it will no longer be on my G: directory.Help Is A Click Away - http:[URL].....

I have a text file called: list.txt This is a list with all kind of lines like this:
14II_ARM_S_CLO_CLO_CLOVERIDS_PROPITEM_TXT_01194611IK1_ARMORIK2_CLOTHIK3_CLOAK=TRUE==200050000====PARTS_CLOAK=1==11=1===11_NONE Ofcourse every line has different numbers and letters.
The complicated bit is this:
I want to let Button1 check whats in TextBox1.Text and search "list.txt" for it. When it has got a match (there is only ONE of these numbers in list.txt).For example TextBox1.Text = "IDS_PROPITEM_TXT_011946". And I search for that so I find the line above. Now I want 3 other textboxes which show the 21st, 22nd, 23rd column/number after "IDS_PROPITEM_TXT_011946". And they should be editable by changing those 3 textboxes and clicking the apply button.How can I best do this, and please give a little example.

I'm new here and I'm trying to make a little program with Visual Basic (2010 Express Edition).The purpose of this program is:
1) Load the text file lines and split them into a constant and a value
2) Edit the text file lines values
The content of the text file is like this:
[Code]...
This basically split every lines in two parts: the constant ("Name", "Surname", "Age", "Hair") and the values ("Mario", "Rossi", "50", "Black").Now about the second point, I've added a Button1 which should take the Textbox1/2.Text and the Combobox1 selected item and replace the values(aka separator(1)) in the text file. The problem is I don't have any idea at the moment how to do it. What method should I use?

Basically, I'm creating an application which takes a list of words in .txt format, such like this:
Abc
Def
Ghi
Jkl
mno
What I want to be able to do is modify the words, one by one, so that I end with
Abc1
Def1
Ghi1
Jkl1
mno1
or whatever the user wants.
I created this app in C++ to get the logic, since I am more confident with that

Dim test As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyDocuments & " est1.txt"
If System.IO.File.Exists(test) Then
MsgBox("File Loaded")
Else

I have a label that reads a random line from a text file and that string becomes the text for the label.
Now the problem; the label will only work if it is clicked because the event handler is click.What I need is this to work automatically at startup. In other words, it should change the label's text to the random string of the text file on startup of the application.
Here is my code.[code..]

I have a bit of a dilemma - in the ComboBoxColumn, I have added various numbers from 0 to 11. I need people to be able to type into the ComboBoxes in that column if the Combobox doesn't contain a value they need.I realise that I have to change the ComboBoxStyle to DropDown but am not sure how to. Also, for each row in the ComboBox, I believe I have to add the item that the user typed to the ComboBox list items for it to save but am also unsure how to do it.

My.Computer.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\TestKey",
"TestKey", "Value1")

I first want my program to get the text from a text file(I know how that's done), but once it gets it, I want to somehow save it that it won't need to get the text again(for example, if you restart the application, it won't need to get the text from the file because the text is already saved).

I have a simple in VB/ASP.NET form containing two text boxes, I am attempting to apply some validation to the first text box using JavaScript. This is the first time I have attempted this and am having some trouble.I have a label beside the text box stating an error, this labels visibility property is set to False. I wish the labels visibility to turn true if the text box is empty when the user loses focus.For this I have used the onBlur option within the tags of the text box. It then calls the JavaScript function and should set the label to Visible but it does not. I have tested to see if it is entering the function by using an alert instead and that works. The problem seems to be trying to alter the visibility property of the label.
Here is the portion of my code:
The JavaScript:
function myRegEx(frm) {
if ( boxUsername.value == "" ) {
invalidUser.visible = True;

I have a file in a certain place. I'm making a script with a button in it. For understanding. Let's say the text file has this written in it:
"ABC"
in it, How would I make it if I pushed one of the buttons, it would change that "ABC" to:
"CBA" ' Or anything else random "BCA", "CAB", etc.
and then save it?note I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 so no VB v6.0?

I want to add nodes that behave in a similar fashion as when you add new folders in windows explorer. i.e. right click > new folder > then the new folder is added and highlighted as New Folder so that as soon as the user types they are overwriting the folder name.
I can add a new node as a child node of the node I have selected and label it "New Node" but I can't figure out how to select the new node and have it highlighted so that when the user types, they are overwriting the "New Node" text.
I have tried this but it doesn't work.
Private Sub AddProjectToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AddProjectToolStripMenuItem.Click
Me.trvProjects.SelectedNode.Nodes.Add("New Node")
Me.trvProjects.SelectedNode = trvProjects.Nodes("New Node")
Me.trvProjects.Focus()
End Sub

Public objword As New Word.Application
objword.Documents.Open(FileName:=ofilename)
^ Showing the declaration of the word document that i wish to edit.
Dim oDoc As Word.Document
objword.Visible = True
oDoc = objword.ActiveDocument
oDoc.Range.Text = codes(j, 1) & " " & codes(j, 2)
This gets the document and adds text into it, exactly what i want it to do. But it replaces the whole document. I just want it to add text at the start of the document. Not replace the whole document.

I would like to know a way (of course I want to know the best way) to edit a csv file, preferably without having to read the original and write the results to a new one.
Example 1: I want to split the contents of a column into two columns 123abc into 123, abc
Example 2: I want to remove letters from the beginning of a column AB123 into 123
Clarification: I do not need help solving my examples; I just need to be pointed in the right direction of reading and editing the same file.Here is a code example of using a temporary file that seems to me is too slow
Dim currentLine as string()
tempFile.AutoFlush = True
Do Until origFile.EndOfData
