My office BA requested me to develop Window application to retrieve all the files from the SalesDepartment folder : F:SalesDept and write the name of the file into a TextFile and save it into this folder F:StoreFileName
I have not written this type of coding before and I need your help to show me sample coding in order for me to learn something new.
I am trying to create a textfile and write some lines into the textfile. However, the code that i am using can only write when the textfile is already created in the directory.
For this case, can i actually allow my script to search if a textfile is being created, if not create a textfile ???
Dim pathdir As String = "C:workingdir est.txt"
If System.IO.File.Exists(pathdir) = True Then
Dim objWriter As New StreamWriter(pathdir)

View 3 RepliesI am looking for ways to retrieve data from textfile and save it into access database. Currently, I am doing a attendance record project. I need to save the attendance record which is given in a text file to the database. The version of VB i using is VB 2008.
The content of the text file look like this:
E010,2009/06,06/29/2009 7:44:45AM,06/29/2009 15:00:55PM,JUR
E022,2009/06,06/29/2009 7:44:45AM,06/29/2009 15:00:55PM,JUR

I want read the content of the text file and write to vb.net application. My text file name is wires.txt. The above code only read and the file appear on the application. I dont want the file to be visible to the end user.
It may seem noobish but, I've been try forever! I've been postponing a database project for like 3 years and I finally come to some solutions except for when it deletes an Item from the list. On form load, the listbox generates data from a text file (we'll call text1) which has data in it. For every line of data in that text file (text1), there is a text file (text2) in a 2nd folder.
For example, there may be, in text1, a line named "Hi". In the 2nd folder there is a text file named "hi.txt" Another line (say the next line under 'Hi') is written as "Hello world", there will be a file in the second folder called hello world.txt"
May seem confusing but it works well. My problem is making that 1st text file that has ALL of the data that loads into the listbox, be rewritten over with the new data in the listbox OR remove a certain line of from the text file.
I have a multiline string that is called password (as you can see in the code below) that i want to save to a text file:
Dim
password As
String

I am trying to write names from a list box and it works apart from the first listbox item.So this doesn't work:
My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile("D:Renaming2.avi", TextBox4.Text & " " & "1" & " " & "-" & " " & ListBox1.Items(0))
But this does:
MessageBox.Show(ListBox1.Items(0))
So listbox1.items(0) does exist but I just get the error that there are illegal characters in the path.

I'm trying to write a program to call Quickbase and retrieve a database and put it into an array. It's a contacts table that I need to be able to query and select different fields according to letterheads, memos, etc. I've tried to do this three different ways.
1.) Find a direct port or some way of accessing Quickbase directly, similar to connecting to an oracle database or MS Access.
2.) Export the table to MS Excel and read the data from a spreadsheet.
3.) Opening a web browser in a background processes and login to the Quickbase account, then navigate using the little XML knowledge that I have.
I just can't find a good way to do this. Any ideas or can give some help on the code to do any of the ideas?

I am working on a VB Console Application that takes an Autocad drawing type DWG and converts it to a PDF using a shell command that calls a third party application.
