How can I ignore a blank line in between the data in a text file using VB.NET? For example, I have a file with data like this
Line 1: 020220date20101231salesvalue52..
Line 2: 356465date20101231salesvalue52..
Line 3: Blank Line
Line 4: **strong text**
Line 5: 356465date20101231salesvalue52..
Line 6: 356465date20101231salesvalue52..
Line 7: Blank Line
Line 8: 356465date20101231salesvalue52..
Line 9: 356465date20101231salesvalue52..

Basically I've got a list of items in a text file, but sometimes a blank line gets inadvertently put in there, and I need to be able to delete that line (or change that line to a set value, either is fine).
I m trying to filter a datagridview (connected to sql server). I have used if statements in order to take all the possible combination but now I have 8 textboxes into which the user should insert values and filter the datagridview.
I have a text file that has multiple blank lines and Im trying to return all the lines between two of them specifically
so if I have a file that looks like this:
[Code].....
I would like to grab lines 8-13. Unfortunately, it might not always be 8-13 as it could be 9-20 or 7-8, but it will however always be between the 2nd and 3rd line break.
I know how to trim characters and pull out singular lines, but I have no idea how to trim entire sections.
I've been looking through the FCL for a method that will allow me to erase a line of text from a text file and replace it with another line of text. Neither the StreamReader nor StreamWriter have a method for replacing or removing Text from a text file, as does the string object. Are there any available methods for erasing just certain lines of text from a file, and then replacing them with others?
In my code, I'd like to locate a certain line in the text file, and then at that point in the text file, use a For...Next Loop to replace each successive line of the text file with new text:
Dim user_data_file As String = "user_data.txt" edit_input = New StreamReader(user_data_file) Dim edit_line As String = edit_input.ReadLine
[CODE]...
However, I can't find any methods that will allow me to do this.
Does anybody know how to ignore a line(s) of code after a line(s) has executed. Let say you have a button1, and two CheckBoxes. By clicking once button1, cheheckbox1 checked. By clicking agin button1, then CheckBox2 checked. You will probably say that I can do that in diferent way, but it isn't the solution of this problem that I want. This is only an example.
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'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.
Imports System.IO Dim I as Integer Dim LineText as String
I have a text file that I'm reading into a listbox. I want to skip a line if it's blank. The following code works if I leave out the check for the line being blank. It puts the file in the listbox with no errors. However, when I include the If statement that checks for the line being blank, I get an ArgumentNullException in the Items.Add line when It gets to the end of the file.
'Read Multiline File Dim FILE_NAME As String = "C: empliz-etsy.txt" ' If System.IO.File.Exists(FILE_NAME) = True Then
I have a notepad txt file that has two columns of data. Vb reads data having one blank space (this is in column one) but ignores any other data beyond two blank spaces. in addition to being able to read the second column, I want to store the data thats in the column 2 in a separate string.
I am trying to pull sql data into a text file. The code works just fine, until some new data comes in from lazy employees and a couple fields (used for notes/comments) are now left blank. Originally I've never seen them blank so I didn't think anything of it. col2 = myreader.GetString(1) It will error if the field is ever null - I even tried using a case when: case when note is null then '" & empty & "' else note end and set the variable emtpy = '', but vb still thinks that it's null and errors?
I'm trying to use StreamWriter to write to a text file; it creates the file fine, but when I open it up, it's still empty. I marked the code below where the writing action takes place.
vb Public Sub BHorse_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BHorse.Click Dim oMarketsReq As New BFExchange.GetAllMarketsReq Dim oMarketsResp As BFExchange.GetAllMarketsResp Dim BFWrite As System.IO.StreamWriter BFWrite = IO.File.CreateText("C:Datamarket.txt") With oMarketsReq
I have this code for my update checker. It loads a blank text file on my server containg the current version. I have it set to naviagte to this url then searches the web browser for the current version. If it cannot find it then there is a newer version, and a button becomes visible which lunches a webpage that has the current version. I would like it to loop my Check_for_update code until the webbrowser1.statustext = "Done" Below is the code i have but it doesnt work for some reason. Private Sub Update_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
I have to create a new program that reads to Text files. These text files are in the form of a report (with column headings). The purpose is to compare each record line by line to see if their have been any changes made. The record is based on an Account#. Over time these files will be considerably large. What is the best way to do compare records from each file. I'm thinking loading each file into an array and processing them that way.
I must use streamreader to read text file line by line into array.
Here's what I've got.
Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click Dim numbers() As Double = New StreamReader(txtfile.Text) Dim numbersarray() As Double
I just joined this forum as I've been looking for a nice and serious VB forum for a long time
I'm having troubles making a program to search a text file line by line for a specific string.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader("C: est.txt")
[Code]...
as you can see in the code its supposed to read a text file and if the line contains the same string as in the textbox then its gonna make a messagebox.
now the problem, if the line does not contain the specific string but the next or any line other line does, then it should automatically read the next line on "Else" and that's where I'm lost
for a "Readnextline" command or something like that?
I have a list of random numbers in my text file.I read it like this.
Dim FILE_NAME As String = "C: est.txt" Dim TextLine As String If System.IO.File.Exists(FILE_NAME) = True Then
[code]....
How can I separate that in to 2 listbox?In my ListBox1 I want add lines with starting number like this ( 0905, 0906, 0915, 0916, 0917, 0926, 0927 ) And in my ListBox2 is with numbers start with this ( 0909, 0910, 0912, 0918, 0919, 0920, 0921, 0928, 0929 )How can I compare lines by multiple choices like that?
Dim sFileName As String Dim srFileReader As System.IO.StreamReader Dim sInputLine As String sFileName = "D:UsersArbenDesktopSerieA.txt" srFileReader = System.IO.File.OpenText(sFileName)
[Code]...
under the code I pasted at the top, but I get the text on line1 in all labels, like all labels become 1, while the text should be 1, 2, 3 and so on. So anyone can help me do that, each label gets the value of the next line in the txt file
the following code was to be entered to read each line of the file "line by line" It did not work for me as instructed and I am trying to understand why?
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click Dim FILE_NAME As String = "C:UsersOwnerDocuments est.txt" Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(FILE_NAME) Dim TextLine As String
i need my program to enter text into a txt file but, i can not seem to find out how to make it press enter, and i what i mean is my program adds to the text like this...[code]

i am doing program to read text file and fill the data to multi array , in my code i tried to read the first line of text file to array (here i used class) to save this data on it, because i will use it to read the another lines , files have the following format (all numbers are integers, all intra-line separators are spaces): First line: Number of events, number of rooms, number of features, number of students after the first line as u see we have 3 line have 10 which mean the One line for each room:Roomsize and after that the line which start from zeros and ones it format as:-
