How To Read From TextFile And Store Data To Modify Later
Sep 2, 2011
What I am trying to do may be better for use with SQL Server but I have seen many applications in the past that simply work on text files and I am wanting to try to imitate the same behaviour that those applications follow. I have a list of URL's in a text file. This is simple enough to open and read line by line, but how can I store additional data from the file and query the data?
E.g.
Text File:
link1 - 0
link2 - 0
link3 - 1
link4 - 0
link5 - 1
Then I will read the data with:
Private Sub ButtonX2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ButtonX2.Click
OpenFileDialog1.Filter = "*txt Text Files|*.txt"
If OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
Dim AllText As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(OpenFileDialog1.FileName)
Dim Lines() = Split(AllText, vbCrLf)
[Code] .....
Am I going completely the wrong way about storing the data after importing from a text file?

I have a modbus TCP device that I have managed to connected to through my VB source code.
I want to poll (continueously read) data from certain registers of the device, and store the polled data in a file (text,csv, excel).

Prog appends a textfile. Don't want user able to delete or modify while form open. How do I do this?? - As long as form is open user cannot modify or delete textfile. But so the file can be edited from within form
How do I do this. Here is my code so far
Public Class Form1 Dim FILE_NAME As String = "C:UsersBirthdayDocumentsinfo.txt" Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

I have a data in the below format
number = 4
length = 7
force = 100
Now I want to read it in a format that it will check the string 'number' or 'length' or 'force' or whatever and stores this data into specified arrays or listboxes. Like a force() array or listboxforce.items()

I would like to store a plain text logfile (approx 6 - 30 kB) in a variable belonging to a class that I later serialize. One way to do it is obviously reading it in and storing it to a string.

How would you store records in a textfile to an array, so you could display it on a series of textbox(ie. firstname, lastname employee number etc.)

I am writing a VB 2008 program to display and update records from a sql database. This particular form is used to display and modify retail store information records from the database. I am running into an issue with saving the records once they have been changed.The error message I am getting is "Update requires a valid update command when passed DataRow collection with modified rows". I am including all of my code for the form because I am not sure what is relevant. I am getting the error when SaveTheEdit() is called on line 83. [code]

I'm trying to place the contents of a text file (just a list of names) into a list box when the form loads.
My code currently looks like this:
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[Code].....
I can get the names into the list box, but they're all on one line. I thought about using a For...Next loop to read the contents of the text file, but I got into all sorts of trouble; do I need an array with that method? So I've got back to the code I originally had.

I have a form with 2 listboxes. I've added items in each listbox. I save all the items from each listbox to a text file. What I want to do is open the text file and I want each string inside the text file to go to the appropriate listbox. How can I make my program recognize where each string belongs?

I have my code it is able to read a text file and do checks each line if there are 7W and 5L in that particular line, if no matches it will remove that line... 1 problem i face now is that, there are duplicates in my textfile..Im not sure how am i going to remove the duplicate in the text file. I want to know if there is a way to integrate an additional function inside my code to check if that particular line is a duplicate so i can accomplish 2 tasks at 1 time... Since there are about close to 1million records in my text file.

I have this class:
Public Class ProxyHelper
Private Shared proxyQueue As New Queue(Of System.Net.WebProxy)()
' Just holds the number of times we've asked for a proxy.
[Code]....
This will ask for one proxy each time my webclient does something five times.
My webclient simply downloads some data and views it from a webpage over and over, and after 5 times you will get banned.
Question: How can I make the above code ask for a proxy from a textfile with one proxy on each line?
I will not have a browse function, the proxies.txt will always be in the app.dir

How would i read a textfile that is in My.Resources and put the whole document in a textbox for the user to see?
I figured i would need a IO.StreamReader and a IO.StringReader but cant figure out too much what to do with these.
I figured i could create a loop until it has read to the end of the document but there is no check called HasLineAvailable or something.

I have a txt document here that have certain word on it per line. How can I show it in different labels. I have 25 labels and have label name as followsword1,word2,word3,word4,word5 and so on up to word25. I want the word 1 label will show the first line of the text file and the second word2(label name) will show the second line of the textfile and so on up to the 25th line . Can it be done using loop?I tried but I dont know exactly how readline process works to identify certain lines you want to read and also I tried using the "i" variable to auto generate the name of my label but it did not work.

I have a textfile I need to open and I need to put each line into the array. What is the simplest way to add the elements/each line's data into the array while increasing the array as it reads each line? This is blowing my mind right now..I thought about using a counter and then redim-ing the array (while preserving of course).

This is my first time using a list vs an array but I'm having a bit of trouble. I am trying to read a textfile into a list of song objects. I am reading the file successfully into the list however after the loop ends the program stops executing the load event and ignores the populateListBox() procedure. Any thoughts.

I've got a csv text file "test.txt" in the following format with one record per line in the following format: Builder,Bob,B,99HappyStreet,Springtime,4
I've read them into an array and in design use the first two to populate a listbox and then use a selected index to fill text boxes and some list boxes.
ex. TextBox_FirstName.Text = Employees(ListBoxMain.SelectedIndex).FirstName
How do I write the changes made in the text fields back to the position in the file where it was? It has me stumped although I'm sure there is a SelectedIndex option that can work.
I've considered having all the new/changed data saved as a new record and then just deleting the 'old' entry but my delete code gives me a selectedindex-1 index out of range exception error that I'm working on as well. I am sure both problems are related.[cod]e...
