File I/O And Registry :: Reading A .RTF File Line-by-line?
Sep 20, 2010
I'm trying to read an .rtf file one line at a time but I'm clearly missing something!The file contains 3 lines and I want each line to end-up in a different RichTextBox, so:
Open File
RichTextBox1 = 1st Line in File
RichTextBox2 = 2nd Line in File
RichTextBox3 = 3rd Line in File
Close File
What am I not understanding? I've tried using LoadFile to load the whole file into another RichTextBox first as I got the impression that RichTextBoxes are indexed - but what I got was strings not .rtf format. I've also looked to see if there's an equivalent of the text-centric ".ReadLine" and nothing seems to fit the bill.

I'm making a program which has 7 textboxes. I intend the program to be used for classes in school, so the text would be like 2D Art, Geology etc... whatever your classes are. I have figured out how to use the streamwriter to take the text in the textboxes and write them to a .txt file however, my issue is with loading the text from the .txt file back into the textboxes. I did figure out how to write it so that all the text in the .txt file is loaded back into textbox1 but I have 7 textboxes... Here's the coding for the Load button:
Private Sub Button46_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button46.Click
Dim MainWindowLog As String = "V:Users(O.o)~(--_--)~(o.O)DocumentsVisual Studio

How would i go about reading a file Line by Line that within that line The values are delimited by " Example of the data:
"bob" "cat" "1243"
"steve" dog" "6789"
I've started this with this code but not sure how to go about the next stage:
Using MyReader As New _
Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "Records28112011.jd")
MyReader.TextFieldType = FileIO.FieldType.Delimited

I am in the process (slow process) if learning vb.net by trying to create a simple application that will read and write (save) chosen information to a text file. The application has text boxes (name, email address, etc) and I want to read information from certain lines in the text and place in the given text box.
Code:
Dim StreamToDisplay As StreamReader
StreamToDisplay = New StreamReader("C: esting estfile.txt")
TextBox1.Text = StreamToDisplay.ReadLine()
StreamToDisplay.Close()
Currently it's reading the first line of text (which is "[username]").
Text file (testfile.txt) is attached

I'm reading a text file with StreamReader, line by line. If a condition is met, then I do an operation and then start reading the file again from the first line. I realize I could close and then re-open the file, but surely this would be very slow.
I could do this easily in VB6, but pulling my hair out trying to do this in vB.net. It seems that 'Seek' is the function to use, but it doesn't work.
I've seen other examples, where it works, but you must open it a different way -- with a file number.

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

I'm storing a multi-line text file (in .dir format) in the directory the user chooses, and what I need to do, is when they import it (which my program can already do) I need it to find the end of the file (line) and then read that line, that line will be a number which corresponds with a number system. Basically, the file looks like this
1. Time: 10/27/2009 4:58:09 PM
Title: Title
Author: Author
Entry: Test
2The 2 at the end specifies what the number will be next time. How do I do this?

I have a data file which I am de-compressing and then reading line by line.This includes data which is then read by my function which is split into sperate bits then inserted into a database.My reader is currently taking ages. (largest file being 1.8GB)I am using:
Code:
' File exists, read file.
Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(fileName)[code]....
Is there a quicker way to do this? And possibly a progress bar to show how far it is through the file?

Basically what I'm trying to do is read a text file line by line. After each line is read, it will put each line into a separate text box. I've been trying to do this for a while and so far I haven't been able to. I tried using a for loop, but that just put all my lines in to one textbox.

I am having problems with opening a file and writing in a new line some data.Instead of writing the data in a new line,it replaces the data in the first line of the file with the new data.The function is this:
Code:

ListBox1.Items.Add(txtServerName.Text)

I thought you could use a structure as a container. I have line_1 with a line of data read in from a file. I only want to Look in position 1 of the line and position 8 for 9 and position 31 for 11. If I create a line_2 with the parts broken out for pieces that I want to look at then I could use a with statement right?

i know i have to use a loop to get each line of the textbox onto a newline of a textfile but i dont know how to figure out how many lines of text the user has entered into a textbox. I tryed using a try statment to loop until it errors, it seems to work sometimes but other times it only takes half of the textbox and adds it to the textfile. And if atmaweapon reads this, i tryed to make better names for variables. Here is my code,
Code:
Path = ("Meals" & ComboBox1.SelectedItem & "" & TextBox1.Text & ".txt")
File = New System.IO.StreamWriter(Path)
If ComboBox2.SelectedItem = "1" Then
[Code]....
how many line of text there are... im not so shure how good it is to run a loop tell it errors for a textfile, but its the only way i could think of.

I have an array called lines() which is basically an array indicating which lines to read from a file. for example lines(1) = 0 means 'read the first line from the file', lines(2) = 4 means 'read the 5th line from the file' (counting from 0 not 1) The program first reads the file (which has a lot of random lines) so it can identify which lines match my criteria. The way I store the line positions is this:
For i = 0 to noOfLines -1 'total num of lines in file
If count = match Then 'this is my match criteria
lines(x) = i 'store the line in the array

I have an application that uses the following code to write a number of user inputed variables to a text file on a seperate line per variable..What I can figure out despite hours of googling, is how to reverse the process, and load the data from the text file to re-populate the variables.
Private Sub CmdSave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CmdSave.Click
'Check if file exists and warn of overwriting.

If File.Exists("c:EveOreData.csv") Then

Trying to read in three variables per line from a text file that looks similar to the first code segment. What we've been taught so far to read in is something similar to the second segment. And it works all and good for single words per line.
If this was C++ I'm pretty sure I could getline and use the comma as a terminator, but I'm not sure if a similar function exists for VB.

What I have stored in my file is values related to an account. (Just testing, not going to be used commercially). What I need is to draw the values for the username and password, by going through each new line, but .peek() doesn't seem to work for me.
My block looks as such :
public string CheckAccount(string username, string password) {
StreamReader sr;
string filename = "H:\AccountInfo.txt";
string s;
string result = "";

My code doesn't read from the 2nd line onwards, it just hangs.
