I have a text file containing lines of data (File 1). I need to delete all the lines in another text file (File 2), which are found in file 1.So I could read file 2 line by line. And then once the line has been read, read file 1 line by line to search for a match. But that's going to be painfully slow.Or I could read file 2 into memory. And then read file 1 line by line and REPLACE the lines in file 2 with nothing, therefore deleting them. File 2 could be 100 mb, so I'm not sure about reading it all into memory.
I am new to programming, so I am looking for somewhere to start with this project.What My project needs to do, is that the user inserts data consisting of multiple lines (up to thousands of lines) Into a text box of any type.When a button is clicked on it goes through the lines and alters lines based on what it starts with.
[Code]...
Clicking the button would cause every line with DDE at the beginning to be deleted, while leaving everything else intact.I'm not just looking for handouts, I do want to learn. I just to know what to look at to do this.
I know it may be quite easily for you. i have a text which contains 40 lines, I want to remove lines which starts with a constant text. check below data.
When I used (?mn)[+CMGL:].*($) it removes the whole text , when I use (?mn)[+CMGL:].*( ) , it only leaves the first line. +CMGL: 0,1,,159 07910201956905F0440B910201532762F20008709021225282808 +CMGL: 1,1,,159
i have 5 textboxes in a form. I have a streamwriter that writes all of their text to on text file like this:
Code: Dim xfile As String = Application.StartupPath & "/Set.txt" If File.Exists(xfile) = True Then Dim writex As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(xfile)
[code]....
I was wondering how to get the text under the each number and place it in the corresponding textbox.
I have written a simple script to get a bunch of lines from a text file (they will be filenames eventually) which are split by new lines and puts each one into an array..
Dim ary() As String Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists("C:MenuFiles.txt") Then
[code]....
The only thing I can do for now is either use the substring function to remove the first character from all array values after 0 but I don't like that because it's messy and what if the split "works" as I want it to one one of the lines and knocks of the first character when I don't want it to.
I have an SQL database, and 50 text files, and Visual Basic 2010 Premimum,I need to find a specific line of text in the text files and then take the next 37 lines of text and save them in my database. I need advice as to point me in the right direction
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.
Below is what I've been using. While it does work, my program locks up when trying to count a rather large file, say 10,000 or more lines. Smaller files run in no time. Is there a better or should I say faster way to count the lines in a text file?
I have the following code that displays the last line of my text file: VB Private Sub btnCurrent_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCurrent.Click Dim path As String = "C:Documents and SettingsTwiLiteDesktopWindows Programming - Laura Malave/MadEaters SolutionMadEatersSurvey.txt" Dim readText() As String = File.ReadAllLines(path) Dim s As String For Each s In readText lblResults.Text = s Next End Sub How I can display the last 12 lines of code instead of just the last line.
I want to arrange this lines according to the number in [Txxxx] from small to big then write all the line which not contain[Txxx] at the below of sorted lines. How to do this? is that possible?
Is there a way to see how many lines are in a text file? This also includes blank lines. I have seen a lot of code in this forum before related to my question, but they stop if there is a blank line. I want it to be so that if there are like 10 blank lines
I have this code now doing and that is creating my chart from data off a text file. The final task I need to be able to do, to complete my program is have a way to select how many days of data to populate my chats with via a Text Box input. I am thinking I will need to read the complete text file first to count how many lines are in it, then what ever is put in the text box it will take that many lines of data from the text file and populate the chart. For this to work correctly it would have to read the lines of the file back wards.(last line of file would be the first line..) e.g. textbox1.text = "7" then the chart would show only the last 7 lines of my data.
I was looking up examples of Counting the lines in the file, I think I am close here... Dim fso As New FileSystemObject Dim txt As TextStream Set txt = fso.OpenTextFile(ReadChart, ForReading) txt.ReadAll Textbox2.text & txt.Line & " line(s)." [Code] .....
I want to make a program that reads the line of a file, and puts it into a text box, then reads the second line in that file, putting it in another text box... Say i only have a file with two lines, how can i do this?I have written a code, but it only works for the first line. Is there a preset function in Visual Basic that will allow me to read a certain line?
Imports System.IO.StreamReader Dim AllText As String = vbNull, Lineoftext As String = vbNull Dim Open_File As New OpenFileDialog ' Dim Open_File as a Open File Dialog
I am trying to read a specific line from a text file and for some reason when I set my variable loopCounter = 1 To 5 it jumps all the way down to the word "Marty" in my text file but if I just change loopCounter = 0 To 5 it jumps to where it should be which is the letter "M" right after "25". I'm trying to get it to read "25". as this is an assignment for a VB class I'm taking. My text file is at the bottom.
Do While readFile.Peek > -1 For loopCounter = 1 To 5 readFile.ReadLine()
I want to remove all the line which contain [Txxxxx..] and place it in another file. i want to be do like cut and past. Is that possible. Can we remove lines in text files?
I am in the process of developing a VB.net helper application that will combine two text files into one, remove the extra blank lines, do some calculations and spit out a new and improved text file.
My question is: at the beginning of each file is a header row that starts with a "01". How does one go about removing all of the other "01" rows but leave the first header line?
So far, I have succeeded at removing all of the "01" lines, which isn't what I want but hey, I got it to work
I want to arrange this lines according to the number in [Txxxx] from small to big then write all the line which not contain[Txxx] at the below of sorted lines?
I am reading a textfile and extracting information from each line. For example string1 and string2. I am then writing these string to a datatable. However, sometimes there will be repeats in string1 and string2. If there are repeated lines I would like to be able to delete the repeating line and add a counter to find the total number of repeating lines. so if a string repeates 3 times I would like there to be a column with a 3 displayed next to the line in my datatable.
I have a windows form with a textbox and a button, what I am trying to do is enter a number in the textbox and when clicked on the button to cut and paste the data in to a new text file (from number 0 to the number I entered).ie, textfile 1 has 100 lines of data, I enter 25 and press OK I would like to take the first 25 lines and save them into a new text file and save the remaining lines in textfile 1 so it should be like textfile1 75 lines and textfile2 25 lines.The closest I've come to this is the following but this only deletes the one line..[code]
