I am creating a free game.
These is the content of my txt file which is saved in D drive in my pc abc,1,2,3..I tried the flowing but it didn't work:[code]I am getting error on this line.. data = line.Split(","c)...it says this line isn't in use anymore or something and that I rather use LineInput but thats asks for filenumber and i don't know what that is. I am sorry but I am a complete beginner. what else can I try? [code]ok that error is gone now but now if I want to add these values to a list box..how can i do that?
I'm looking for a way to search a string variable for two words and copy the text in between them into another variable. This needs to be done as many times as the match occurs.
I am a newbie programmer. I have some code that needs to open a file based on what is contained in a variable. Example: If File.Exists(w) Then Dim q() As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines(w)
The problem is that I need the variable "w" , after readallLines , to have a .txt extension. I tried this:
IO.File.ReadAllLines(w & ".txt") but that doesnt work.
How do I read all the text from a text file and save it as a string variable? For some reason I remembered it being something like this: IO.FromFile.ReadAllText("path") but thats not it.
I am trying to insert a string variable inside of two strings, and make a combined string. Public Sub Page_Load() Dim Id As String Id = Trim (Request.QueryString("Id")) End Sub Dim mp3text as string url... & Id & ".mp3" My goal is to make the mp3text variable have a string that is: url...(If Id is 7) It is for some reason not connecting up correctly. I checked what string it is outputting and this is what it is giving: url...It is missing the Id content.
I have nine pictures that I need to animate -I need to use the ToString method and a counter to concatenate a file name into a string variable from the Image.FromFile method. Once the counter reaches its maximum value, and the last picture is displayed, the counter should be reset to zero or one depending on how the first image file has been name. Also a static counter variable should be incremented in the time routine. what I have so far -- I know what I have to do; however, I just do not know how to code this properly.. Right now I have this going thru a button procedure but it needs to go through a timer.
The code below works for the class that I hard coded "XCCustomers" in my RetrieveIDandName method where I use CType. However, I would like to be able to pass in various classes and property names to get the integer and string LIST returned. For example, in my code below, I would like to also pass in "XCEmployees" to my RetrieveIDandName method. I feel so close... I was hoping someone knew how to use CType where I can pass in the class name as a string variable.
Note, all the other examples I have seen and tried fail because we are using Option Strict On which disallows late binding. That is why I need to use CType.I also studied the "Activator.CreateInstance" code examples to try to get the class reference instance by string name but I was unable to get CType to work with that.When I use obj.GetType.Name or obj.GetType.FullName in place of the "XCCustomers" in CType(obj, XCCustomers)(i)I get the error "Type 'obj.GetType.Name' is not defined" or "Type 'obj.GetType.FullName' is not defined"
I have a List(of String()). I have written a custom comparer (implements IComparer(of string)) to do an alphanumeric sort.Is there a way to sort the List using a given index to determine which position in the String() to sort by? In other words one time I might sort by Index = 0 and another time by Index = 3. The length of all String() in the list is the same.For reference this question is similar to Sort List<String[]> except I am using VB.net and that question is hardwired to Index=0.
EDIT from OP's comments:I started simple with the non custom comparer but I am getting an error: expression does not produce a value. Not sure what I am doing wrong.Here is the code:
Public Shared Function SortListOfStringArray(ByVal ListOfStringArray As List(Of String()), ByVal SortByIndex As Integer) As List(Of String()) Return ListOfStringArray.Sort(Function(x, y) x(SortByIndex).CompareTo(y(SortByIndex))) End Function
i have this error in the line of with xl.active......Object variable or With block variable not set.
Dim xl As Object xl = CreateObject("Excel.Application") With xl.ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _ "TEXT;C:Documents and SettingsUserDesktop429MEDICA2.TXT", _ Destination:=xl.Range("$A$1"))
I have the following code that I am using to parse out a test file. I am getting variable conversion error in Sub Main() when I assign file = Read(). The return value of Read() is a TextFieldParser type. How do I assign the proper variable type to "file" so I can write the output to a text file?
Function Read() Using MyReader As New FileIO.TextFieldParser("C:UsersColinDesktopParse_Me.txt") Dim currentRow As String
just found out that replace(string does not do the same as string.replace when my string variable was an empty str the first one returns "nothing" and the second returns an empty string (as expected).just sloppy coding anyhow, it was a function that was converted from classic asp and never rewritten properly.

I am using the MODI DLL (Microsoft Office Document Imaging) because it has an OCR engine. That's working fine, but I'm having trouble capturing the resulting text into my own string variable (weird, huh). Modi has the result stored in the following Modi string variable:
img.Layout.Text
I've tried three ways to capture this value, only one of them works (not the one that I need to work)
(1) Dim txt as string = img.Layout.Text 'fails
(2) MsgBox(img.Layout.Text) 'fails
(3) M = new Msg(img.Layout.Text) 'succeeds
Method 3 (the only one working) is a custom msgbox I built in VB.Net, and it accepts a regular .Net string variable. I need Method-1 to work. The error thrown is this:
"Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt." I even tried it like this:
(1) Dim txt as string = img.Layout.Text.ToString.Trim
Here's the complete code:
Dim doc As New MODI.Document doc.Create("C:VCR.tif") Dim img As MODI.Image
I am not sure how I would do this or if it is possible. I am looking to manipulate a variable.For example if myVariable = " Apples" I would like to take a user input and make it "Apples and Bananas" or whatever the user entry is.
I have a string variable, the variable could contain error or not. i want to know how can i set like a flag to the variable if the variable value has error or not. something like:
In my code I would like to put together a string and then pass that string as the name of a variable to a function. For instances, in the following code, if the value of a3 equals "row1" then mySub(object) uses the values in the variable row1. How do I do this?
Dim a1 As String Dim a2 As String Dim a3 As String
I'm trying to modify a program where there is a variable that stores all the specified file types in a String() variable. What I would like to do is to somehow append to this variable in any way if I want to search another directory or just grab another individual file.
//Grab files from a directory with the *.txt or *.log as specified in the Combo Box Dim strFiles As String() strFiles = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(txtSource.Text, cmbtype.SelectedItem, IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories)
EDIT: Edited to include code snippet used.
Dim strFiles As String() Dim listFiles As List(Of String)(strFiles) If (cmbtype.SelectedItem = "All") Then
How do I use a value of a string as a public variable name/object that I can then change....dim var1 as integerdim var2 as integerdim var3 as integer...ect...Dim vroot as string = "var"Dim i as integer = 1Dovar + i.tostring'this returns "var1"'now how do i use this var1 returned value to act like a variable??i=i+1loop until i = 15Also how would i do this with objects....say i had a series of labels named label1, labe2, label3...ect... to call these through a "label + i.tostring + .text" script also.....
