I have found the above code from the net and it works fine as I would expect. I know this because I have added a put the String StoreFile into a text box and it worked. From what I understand about the code above is that we are reading the file test.txt until we reach the end of the file and we are storing it into a string.
What I would like to do is either:
1. Search the String StoreFile until I find the text of my choice, and then extract the characters around it. See attached txt file.
For example, if I wanted to search for MNAUSD in the attached txt file, I want to grab the values on the line (highlighted in blue) and make them available to my program and ignore everything else.
"MNAUSD",UNITED STATES,US $,M,1.558850,1,1.369850,1.113500,L
I know these files are comma delimited, but I would rather use a regular expressions if possible as I have other files that are not comma delimited, so it would be ideal if I have a regular expressions to handle the search and extract
OR
2. Search the File test.txt LINE BY LINE, until I reach my search text MNAUSD and then extract the same values as above.
My text file look like this[code]...
I want to extract those lines according to value in ( ).
is there a way to extract all the text from a Word Document in VB.NET without actually openning the file? I'm asking since it is a very time and memory consuming operation to open a word document, select all, assign it to a variable and the close the file.I have a routine the opens all emails in a mailbox and analyses the body and subject object for regular expressions. I would like to do the same for the attachment, if it's in Word. if it's not possible to extract without openning the file, can anyone give me the best way to do it so that the routine doesn't destroy my server memorywise?

Am writing a windows app using vb.net 2005. The app captures a string variable from the user. As each file within a directory is read, I want to match the stored string within each file. If I find a match to the string, I want a list box to be populated with the name of the file. I have added Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions and tried using the match collection.
For example: My direcotry has 5 text files. I want to match a string "PARENT" in the text of all these 5 files. The list box should output the name of each file where the string was found.

I'm wondering if it is possible to scrape information from a word document? For example the word document looks like this:
<b>Make: </b> Audi
<b>Model: </b> A4
<b>Colour: </b> Blue
<b>End</b>
Could i create a simple tool that would be able to read this word document and look for certain text and then capture the text that appears after it?
For example if tell the tool to look for "<b>Make: </b>" and then capture what is entered after it until it reachs "<B>" tag on the next line?
I want to be able to take this info and load it into a datatable and display it in a datagridview.

Example text file: blah blah blah word blah
Example DataSet: Colomn_1, Colomn_2, word

The following code allows words to be added to a listbox. Add the word to a text file and create a folder with the word as its name. The second part undoes the actions.If I try to delete the word immediately after adding it one of two things happen.
1.An error is reported stating the path cannot be found. Although the listbox index value is correct according to the code the error is pointing at that index +1.
2.The code continues to the point of requesting conformation to delete the folder, still pointing at the index value +1. I the action is confirmed the wrong folder is deleted.
However if I stop debugging, then run the code again all works correctly.Is it likely to persist when the application is compiled?

To simplify what I am trying to do, let's say I have a text file with only one line of data.
The data in this case is color info for one pixel:
Color [A=255, R=255, G=200, B=128]
What I am trying to do is read the text file and extract the hex color info and save them to their own variable.
So once the code has run, these should be the contents of the three variables.
RedData = 255
GreenData = 200
BlueData = 128
I have managed to get something to work but I know the code is terrible and is incredibly slow when I try to run through hundreds of lines in a text file.
