How To Get Text From File From Internet
Dec 1, 2010
Ok this is annoying me because i know this code, but the code has left my brain. I simply need get text from a .txt from the web. Basically easiest way to explain would be so you can Change a title from the web. By making label1 the text file words. So Label1 = thewebsite.filename.txt I have done this before i have just forgotten the code. I know the code is only a couple lines. like 1 or 2, which makes me feel silly i cant remember.

I have a program that downloads a text file from the internet. Inside the file, is: 4.5.0.0
I need a way to remove the '.', and delete them, leaving me with 4500, but I've never used Regex and the tutorials on the internet are confusing.

I have some code that is supposed to automate a textbox on a webpage. The problem is, it only works half of the time. The text either displays or does not display. I added the internet controls as a reference but the HTML object library would not get added. Everytime i would go to do this, it would freeze.I also tried doing it two ways. The way that is commented out, always produced a null error. If i change the website to google.com, it works perfect everytime.[code]

I have a VBA program that automates an internet explorer process the whole code works except one piece.
when I try using this code,
Dim IEapp As Object
Dim IEdoc As Object
Set IEapp = New InternetExplorer
IEdoc.all("ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$uxQuantity").Value = 4
I recieve an error that says "Run-time error '91': Object variable or With block variable not set" I think there is something I'm not seeing with the site source because I use a similar code for a different website and it works.

I've been looking for a way to do this for like two days now, and no luck.
What I want to do is get into the temporary internet files, find a certain file....
(^^^ I can do that just fine (using specialfolders, etc) ^^^)
and get the internet address associated with it.
See the attachment if you don't get my meaning.

Okay, I will be passed in an internet address that resolves to a file of some type (.xml, .zip, .mp3, whatever). From inside my VB .NET 2005 program, I need to transfer the file down to the local machine... preferably with events so I can update the screen to show download progress. I also need a way to detect if the file specified by the user actually exists, and retrieve it's file size and compute an estimated download time.

we have our system running but our system needs to be modified because we did something wrong...we are doing an "Internet monitoring System" in our school library where the user can only access the internet 1hr a day, and he/she cannot use the internet within that day if he couldn't buy a time on a serve...every students should only have 20hrs time usage per semester...our problem is every day their 20hrs is being reduced in 1hr.. the rule is the time per semester which is 20hrs that is given to the students was reduced 1hr only if he uses the internet..but our system is reducing their 1hr every day.

I am attempting to make a "Downloader" which would download a file from the internet and save it to a local drive. However some challenges come into play, I would like the downloader to show progress. I am aware of many posts on msdn that give code on how to do this but, I would like to learn the code rather than just copy and pasting it.url...

I have a loop that copies a file from the internet and writes it to disk (using a WebRequest and Response with a Stream and FileStream).Once in the loop if the internet connection breaks, the loop continues but without downloading any content (even if the internet connection is back up). I cant seem to catch this exception. If i check for a valid internet connection within the loop then the speed to download the file is way too slow

1. How much load or data size our custom encryption/decryption algorithm can handle? E.g. what's the limit of file size that normal encryption/decryption algorithm supports.
2. What's the best way to use encryption while file transfer via internet?
3. Where and when encryption and decryption has to apply while uploading and downloading content from internet(Hosting on client or server machines)?
4. What type of algorithms suites for above approaches?
5. How much time it takes to encrypt / decrypt data for 10 MB, 100 MB, 1 GB etc

I have a problem with the temporary internet files. I know how to locate the folder and all the rest, but I'm going to see what second c 'is in the folder with Explorer I see dozens of files, but when I go to see through code, I see only two files, index.dat and desktop.ini. I thought that the index.dat file is a kind of file that contains the files that I see through explorer, but it seems too light, and still do not know how to copy the files it contains.

I need to download files from internet without using FTP, here's my idea:To check version of the program and also download updates.So firstly, when the user enters the splash screen there is a timer which will check updates (downloadTimer) so then downloadTimer starts to download this txt file http://localhost/version.txt and then when its downloaded (and replaced the old one that was on the computer already) and then after that, read the file. If the version.txt contains version 1.0 then pass the check and splash screen closes, main form opens, else then msgbox ("Please Wait!" & vbcrlf & "Downloading updates") and then download updates with the same way from downloading version.txtOh! and also when the file is downloaded (version.txt) save it to "c:programMyApplicationversion" downloading the file without using FTP (if there isn't any other way i could use FTP).File reading could be made with an IO.FileStream thingy.So how do i do the download part?
