Find A Log File Encoding And Understand It's Structure
Oct 14, 2011
My questions isn't really about a programming language but, since I did not find a general programming forum, I chose this one as I know VB.Net. There's this game, that you might already know, which is called Star Wars Galaxies (And is ending soon actually .. ). For each account and character, the game automatically saves chat logs in a .cht file. A player can have multiple chat channels that have different chat filters (group chat, public chat, etc) and they are all saved in this file. I'm thinking they are probably separated by some kind of a "flag" for the game to be able to detect them.
I am not really looking for any code here, I am trying to find out why I can't find any methods to handle encoding while saving text to an html using the savefiledialog. I have searched everywhere I know and can't find anything on it.
Very simply I have a textbox that holds a bunch of html...I have a function that allows you to preview the html as document text in the web browser element. No problem...works great...But when I save the html to an html file I clearly have an encoding issue:[URL]..I am really just looking for the information that will help me to correct this issue (put me in the right direction at the very least)
What im trying to make is too make a file much easyer to understand -- Normal ull have to go in and fine all these stuff but im tryn make it so that if u press a button it make it true to false -- example (THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH VB2008)
Im currently working in VB2005 so it seems like this was harder to do in that release.
I have a class for a point
Public Class cPoint Public Speed As Integer Public Alt As Integer
[Code].....
But that doesn't work in VB2005 much less work with more than 1 filter. I just cant seem to find a good example that works in VB2005. I could iterate through the list but its kind of big and not very efficient.
i would like to ask is there anyway to read a txt file with UTF-8 encoding using streamreader or filestream. the txt file is contain some extended ASCII that makes me cannot read the characters properly. I hav tried Encoding.ASCII.GetString(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes()) but still it return wrong character when it's reading extended ASCII code.
I am sending a DDE message to a client using System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(item) . However, before the message is actually sent, I would like to get the message coded where if the item="Ask" then item=Ask (string variable) and so on. The code is:
Protected Overrides Function OnRequest(ByVal conversation As DdeConversation, ByVal item As String, ByVal format As Integer) As RequestResult ' Return data to the client only if the format is CF_TEXT
i have a task to create ,read,update xml file this file have encoding UTF-16. when i create using vb.net ,i am using xmltextwriter. i cannot find encoding UTF-16. it is only have UTF8,UTF7,UTF32. that's don't have UTF16.that's anyone have clue or link to guide me create,read,update file xml with encoding UTF-16??
Imports System.Xml Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim writer As New XmlTextWriter("product.xml", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8) writer.WriteStartDocument(True)
I am writing an application that must generate a plain Text file with fixed sized columns.my current code is:
Dim MyFilePath As String = Path & FILE_PREFIX & FileNr & ".TXT" IO.File.Delete(MyFilePath) Dim FileStr As New IO.StreamWriter(MyFilePath, False, <ENCODER HERE>)
I'm using us-English Windows XP system. I want to write a programe to creat a file which encoding is GB2312. I try many ways to perform it,but all failed. All the encoding of the files I created is Western European(Windows). The simply code I paste here:
I am trying to get my program to write a .bat file to run, it writes the file fine but the file wont run properly as it needs to be encoded with ANSI but i don't know how to set it to write that. The code for this part so far:
Private Sub start_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles start.Click If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(". un un.bat") Then
I have a long UTF8 encoded text string. The actual values stored in the string are hexadecimal. I want to convert the encoding and save to a binary file.
Is there a simple encoding.convert or other method to do this with?
Basically the output is twice as large as it needs to be right now. The long way of doing it would be a routine to go through the string two characters at a time and convert to byte array and then .writeallbytes I guess. It seems there must be a simpler way of converting this?
I used WriteAllText to set the encoding for a text file. When I wrote it, everything worked out fine. However, strange characters or symbols appeared in some ofm y fields without my having typed it. why is this so? The encoding I'm using is UTF8. I used the WriteAllText to write the fields to file but did not use the ReadAllText to bring the data back into the fields or program.
I am getting one problem with xml file after generation. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> some junk characters are coming before <?xml.... tag like above. its happening when i mentioned encoding attribute. here below is my code to set the encoding type.
I have been working on a project that opens, modifies, then saves an xml file. The problem is that one of the attribute values contains a dash, causing the parser to throw an error when my xml editor application attempts to open the file. I have yet to find a working solution after weeks of searching the web, I tried the the following method for saving the xml file[code]...
if we don't mention the decoding what decoding will they use?I do not think it's System.Text.Encoding.Default. Things work well if I EXPLICITLY put System.Text.Encoding.Default but things go wrong when I live that empty.So this doesn't work well
Dim b = System.IO.File.ReadAllText("test.txt") System.IO.File.WriteAllText("test4.txt", b)
where to find sample system with complete flow, database structure and data flow.. just for reference purpose.. system like inventory, payroll, accounting, billing and etc..
I have been given an old dll and the assignment of accessing it through C# .NET 3.5. I believe the dll was originally built with VB6, but am not positive. There is no documentation or source for the dll aside from an example for how to use the it in VB6. I have been able to succesfully access it through VB.NET 3.5. Example code for accessing looks like this:
There are several different objects that are created from the library and all of those objects have different methods. I tried using different dll reading tools, but all the export methods show up as garbage. I also tried importing the dll in visual studio, but I get an error stating the dll is not accessible and/or not a COM object or assembly. So, I only know about the methods from the old documentation which is sparse. how to access in C# and/or find out more about this mystery dll?

What is the for ... next loops in the second subroutine doing? What is the sim() array meaning?
I have a modem that I've been trying to communicate with only to discover this....went to the modem properties and queried the modem.....
AT+FCLASS = 0,1,8 AT#CLASS = ? COMMAND NOT SUPPORTED
(And I had been trying to use AT#CLASS = 8 all day).So, what does this mean?That the modem is automatically in voice mode (or will automatically choose it's own mode) and forcing it isn't necessary?Still no luck with the connection response messages either -- RING, etc.All I can do is make a call and the called number will appear in a textbox.
I've been trying to understand classes and objects. Yes, I'm thick headed and slow, but I made the decision to go to .Net and I am determined to improve my coding skills to be more efficient. I have spoken to Atma several times on the topic and read most of his posts concerning classes and objects, but still came away a little baffled (He's really advanced for me yet). I needed a simplistic analogy for a reference point to begin understanding. I was reading about OOP written by MikeJ in the following thread/post ...[URL] and it all started to become clear in this statement , but I would like some reassurance that I'm getting it ..."A car IS-A vehicle, while a dog HAS-A tail. The car would be an object declared as type Vehicle, while the dog would have a member that IS-A tail. However, Fido IS-A dog. The dog class is the base template for all dog objects, so when we declare Fido as a dog, Fido is an object. Since Fido IS-A dog, Fido HAS-A tail."
From this I have taken the following understanding...
Vehicle ... ' Class Car ....... ' Object Truck ... ' Object Van ....... ' Object
And from that can I infer that this is true?
Dog ....... ' Class Fido ... ' Object Tail .. ' Member of Fido
So to apply this to a program I wrote recently that tracks Generator service...
Generator ' Would be the class Brand X ' Would be an object Spark Plug ' Would be a member Gas Tank ' Would be a member Brand Y ' Would be an object Brand Z ' Would be an object
This statement also helped ...
""Class" and "object" are sometimes used interchangeably. However, classes describe the structure of objects, while objects are instances of classes. Each instance is an exact copy of its base class. Because an object is an "instance" of a class, the act of creating an object is called instantiation. To describe it better, a class is a blueprint, and an object is a building based on that blueprint". I can understand this (I think) and it refers to a basic template such as ..."Generator" (my class or blueprint or template) Generators have an engine, powerplant, fuel tank, etc. These are basic requirements to be a generator. (Template or Blueprint) They can differ by Brand of engine, Size of powerplant, and type of fuel used. (Based on template or blueprint) Do I have it down now? MikeJ also made this statement ..."you can't access certain types of class members from outside of the class itself." From this I assume you would need to assign a Global variable the value of the class member if you needed to use it outside of the class?
