Quick query...I'm trying to scan a long string and return any values that occur between the tags <FileName> and </FileName> I've got a bit of code here to use regular expressions to return the position of the occurunces of both substrings..Just wanted to find out if there is any way to scan for both substrings within one loop (as im currently doing 2, one for the first substring and one for the 2nd) so I can use something along these lines:
ringlist = Mid(XMLRESP, (startloc + 1), (endloc - 1))
MsgBox(ringlist)
to msg box the value between the substrings...either that or another approach to return the value between the 2 substrings (it can be of variable length)
Dim patternstart As String = "<FileName>"
Dim patternend As String = "</FileName>"
Dim matchesstart As MatchCollection = Regex.Matches(XMLRESP, patternstart)

How would I do that? Sample code is below that demonstrated that the file I opened contained the full path and file name.
I want to extract just the path and serialize that to the user.config file as a UserSetting value. Then next time the user opens the dialog box, it uses that saved path string to go immediately to the location previously used.
If openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
Properties.Settings.Default.persistConnectionType = openFileDialog1.FileName
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();

View 1 RepliesI'm using the FileSaveAs dialog control to allow the user to select a filename to save a file either as a doc file, an rtf file or a pdf file (that part was easy).However, after a bit of testing, it seems that the file extension doesn't automatically change when selecting the different file types.If the filename in the dialog is Foo.doc and I select FileType *.pdf and click "Save", my app still tries to save the file as a doc type.Virtually every other MS app automatically changes the extension to match a selected file type from the Office Suite to Paint. here's my code:
Dim dlg As New SaveFileDialog
dlg.InitialDirectory = m_sReportFolder

I have a Listview on my form with different files. I can selet a file en open it with the proces start method. To open the file i use the OpenFileDialog method and select the filename. This work very good. With the code below.
My question is if there is a method to get the selected file without using the OpenFileDialog Box. So when i dubbelclick the selected file the proces will start with open the selected file. Something like:
proc.StartInfo.FileName = Me.SelectedCell.FileName
instead of proc.StartInfo.FileName = Me.OpenFileDialog1.FileName
PS) May be i can preduce the Filename using the OpenFileDialog method on the background.

View 3 RepliesI ended up getting this properly working, as far as encrypting a file goes:How to encrypt and decrypt a file by using Visual Basic .NET or Visual Basic 2005 However, the catch is I have to change the name of the output file. What I was hoping to do is overwrite the original with the encrypted file, but when I tried that on a large file, it ended up only getting about 8 bytes of it.
Does anybody have any suggestions or recommendations? The overall idea is that I want to keep a file encrypted until it needs to be unencrypted for use by a program, but I'm not sure if there are better tools out there or if there's a better way of accomplishing this.
Question 2: I would really, really like to encrypt an entire folder, which I'm guessing would be faster than file by file, but when I try I keep getting access denied errors, even with DOS Cipher. Is there a way to do this with a key?
I made a program that encrypts data and puts it on a txt file. There are two parts of information that need to be "linked" to the other. Say its Person 1, then Person 1 gender, they need to be placed together. Each encrypted piece of seperated by a ";". I have it read the file and place the information on a Rich Text Box. How can I read all the encrypted info and stop at ";" then place that into a variable then read the next bit? I did this a while back but I used StreamReader/StreamWrite and can't remember how I did it. Right now it reads through the open file dialog and writes it to the Text Box with this command writetext.LoadFile(sFilePath, RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText)

View 1 RepliesI have a page that has a few text boxes on it and are filled based upon a persons information. Like Name, telephone number, address etc
The data is stored in an Access DB.
I want to add a check box and have a label beside it that if it's checked it shows a hyperlink to a pdf file, if its not checked the link disappears, so toggle between the two.
Here's the check box I have so far, which isn't much:
<br><input type=checkbox name="Password" value="<%=oRs("Password")%>" size=40> Check to show PDF File: <a href="<%=oRs("Password")%>"><%=oRs("Password")%></a><br><br>
I need this hyperlink/ string to be encrypted based upon the persons name, so each person has its own pdf file and no one can just guess anothers pdf file and have access to it....
The pdf file will be stored in a virtual directory within the site.

I have been successful in making an anti-hack program that uses a list from the local computer, this is at the moment a text file that can easily be modified, so my question is.Is there a way to replace this .txt file with a more secure format, one that cannot be decrypted (or is very hard to decrypt) without changing all my code?
the only thing i have to use the txt file for is adding the contained items to a listbox. Also, it would be possible for be to use SQL as i am using a dedicated server for the automatic update, so can use it as a remote library for the app the connect to.
i am looking to decrypt my HEX code file for an ATTiny chip and programming it using the AVRDude command line interface. Problem being, i do not want the user to be able to see what the HEX file is at any given time.Can the VB.net Cryptography crypt the HEX file before i put it onto the server and then decrypt it after the program downloads it from the server and runs it through the program without seeing the decrypted HEX file?Obviously the HEX file can not stay encrypted while being programmed to the ATTiny chip so how can i go about it so that i can create the original HEX file to be programmed within the program without having to worry about it writing a temporary file to the hard drive and then deleting it afterwards? (Because they could close the program after it does that temp file and they would be able to navigate and open it and see the code)

I tried with the following code. It encrypted the file but after I FTP'd the file to my vendor he was not able to decrypt it.Then realized that this code is not using my PGP Keys to encrypt the file. It's creating a new key automatically. That's the reason my vendor is not able to decrypt the file. How can I encrypt the file using my PGP keys?

How can i encrypt or decrypt only a part of a file? I try, and i keep getting an error message that says that the stream might be corrupt. By the way, it is ok to convert the text to a byte array using the system.text.encoding.ascii.getbytes() right? The reason i want to encrypt/compress only a part of a file is because i don't want to encrypt or compress the file header. That way the program can gather info about whether the file is compressed or encrypted.
