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 need to know how to code a windows application program that will make it possible for customers to place orders online. Customers will have access to menu using a combobox,containing items available. The text file contains all menu items and the price of each item, as well as number of orders for each item. The file is created with a notepad containing 5 menu items.the first line contains the name of the item,second line contains the price and the third contains total number of orders which initially is 0. So far so good i know how to check if the file exists or not,and populating the the combobox, but ther's an instruction where i have ensure that the number of menu items does not exceed 100, and if so,should display an error message.and should validate to ensure that the total number of orders is>0,if not,re display the input box with a suitable message. Then on the save(menustrip),should write the whole textfile from arrays in memory,clear the combobox,display the message. Also has a process payment button where it should read through the arrays with a for next loop,then shouold write function called amount due,which recieves the total orders as a single data type,where the value for amount due is calculated as total orders*price.CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT SINCE IM A BEGINNER IN VB2005.
View 1 RepliesWhat 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)

Am I going completely the wrong way about storing the data after importing from a text file?
I've been making a program whereby users names and numbers must be stored in external files. At the moment I can get the names to read and write to a file with these lines:
Imports System.IO
Public Class frmDefaultMenu
Private Sub frmDefaultMenu_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[Code].....
Where each line has a name, a seaparator (,) and then the corresponding number.
When the program loads I would like it to be able to access that file, and store all the names into an array named ExistingUsers() and all the Numbers into an array called ExistingNumbers(), and then when a new name is added in the textbox, it is assigned the number "100" and placed at the end of the array, then when the application quits OR straight away, the external files are updated.

I have a list of files and all of them have a different size. I need to upload them in chunks of 250Kb (or less if it's a small file or if it's the last chunk of a file).What I would like to do is read a bunch of chunks (lets say 15 chunks), in a separate thread, and then store the chunks of data in some sort of list. This list must be available to other threads.
An upload thread (I don't need help with uploading itself) takes the first chunk from the list and marks the chunk as "currently being uploaded". When the chunk has been fully uploaded, then the chunk is removed from the list. A second upload thread takes the next available chunk in the list that has not been set to "currently being uploaded", etc. There are a total of 10 upload threads working at the same time.
As soon as a chunk is removed from the list, then a new chunk of data is read and added to the list.Does anybody know what kind of list I need or how I should do something like this? I don't expect people to write out the code for me, but I have no idea where to start with this.
I have developed a vb.net dll (.net 3.5) which does the following :
- I have data of several stock market companies.
- They are stored in several folders under a main folder.
- These files are random access files.
- There can be around 4000 files in total for example.
I wrote a program which reads a current csv file and stores contents in array. Then I store name and path of companies in folders (which I was talking about). Then I match one company from csv (stored in array) to companies in user's folder (again reading from array). If found I insert data in the file (random access file). This whole process takes for eg. 2 min my system. A similar program was written years ago by someone in powerbasic which takes slight less time if run one but if run for multiple csv files it takes only a few seconds doing the same thing for other files. When I do the same thing (by writing code to .net dll) and making a dummy app to run it, no matter how many times I run it takes same time. And is way slower than the earlier one (PB) one I was talking about. But if I paste the same code in my win (.net) app and not use .net dll then it runs a bit faster.
I need to show status so if I pass my form's label reference to .net dll and it updates it does that slow down process a lot. As I mentioned I am trying to process the files and it takes longer in .net. What should I do to get best performance? Unfortunately due to unexplainable reasons I cannot change the format or use a db. The files which I am reading/writing (random access files) are use by other products so I have to stick to that format. What I am doing is storing the location of those files in array so that I don't have to search folder again. that is not taking time. But opening reading and writing files is time consuming if I am doing it for few thousand of them. A similar program in powerbasic (developed years ago) runs fast. Running code thru .net dll is slower than running it thru program. Why?
I am unable to read from the text file in VB. I want to read the contents for text file and store them in array. See my code below and the text file. How should I read this text file.

My text file is a settings file and I know I will be adding more to it in the future, right now it reads "autoplay=false;mintray=false;"I am currently using probably the most inefficient way to check both of those settings:
if contents = "autoplay=false;mintray=false;" then
elseif contents = "autoplay=false;mintray=true;" then
elseif contents = "autoplay=true;mintray=false;" true
elseif contents = "autoplay=true;mintray=true;"
endif
How can I read the file, find each word from the equals sign to the semicolon, and store each of them in a variable identified by the text before the equals sign? Something like this:
contents = "autoplay=false;mintray=false;"
autoplay = "false"
mintray = "false"
Also, how can I edit the settings in the text file without having to overwrite everything every time I save to it? For instance; finding mintray in the text file, and changing mintray to true instead of overwriting the file with "autoplay=false;mintray=true;".

I am trying to store 8 separate pieces of information in a text file (like a database) [but not a SQL database], consisting of integers and strings. How would I use an array to do this? Will an array collect data from text boxes (I also want to display the 8 pieces of information in separate boxes). also how would I save the text file so I can open it again or open a different text file (database?), from within the program?
EDIT: I see I need to use readline and writeline to read/write from a text file but how would I find specific data to show in my boxes?
My xml files were looking a bit clumsy when i read them, what i have done now is to save them in the xml in this format:
vb.net <field>{value1|its partner value2}</field>
i noticed {|} this is the format that vb.net uses for arrays, i was wondering if that's an ok way to store things, on retrieval once i get the node value, what would be the best way to break up the {value1|it's partner value2} variables to use, explode the | and get parts (0) and (1)?
Even a primer on just reading/writing to a text file would be golden. The array confuses me further, but understanding the data is primary.
Basically, we're writing a program to manage inventory for a bar. Fields and a few lines are below. The delimiter is "||"
So... How do we read the data into the arrays? NAME would be strName(), etc for all of them.
