I want to take the code that is in a text file [code]...
I have a vb system and I wish to execute some code depending on the result of a text box. The text box could contain two strings, depending on the result I want to execute a set of rules to search for specific files e.g. if one option the code will search for certain files defined for example request.doc and if other option then it will search for other files, which are my rules for the searches. I want these rules to be external to the system and for them to be loaded in so that its easier for the user of the system to change these rules if needed so they dont have to go into the programming of the code. Is there a specific file I can use such as .xml or a just a basic .txt file and what would the syntax be for these?

We had a wierd problem at work.SOmeone at finance tried to import a text file into their system. It complained about the textfile was in unicode format. The file contains scandinavian . Apparently the ERP system that exported the file can only handle unicode.So one of our junior programmers wrote a batch program that line by line converted the unicode file to ascii (you can't choose encoding.ANSI because ANSI is byte array)
The files are rather big, about 3 GB in size.Apparently the system liked ASCII files, but sadly after this processing the and was gone and replaced with ?So, he wrote a new batch program, this time replacing m?nad with m�nad using String.Replace The file was opened using Encoding.Default and saved using Encoding.Ascii.Now the files HAVE AND can be imported. After he explained this to me, I just went . I wish I had some nifty "you should have done this... bla bla its much easier" but I am lost here in the jungle of code pages and encodings. Can someone that has their head screwed on straight enlight us *both* about why we had this problem and how it could be handled without writing the second batch program?
Basically unicode->non unicode (ascii) with the intact. I also noticed that if I use streamreader to read an ansi file with the internal strings will show ? instead.
I am once again working on a project and have hit an absolute wall! Here is what I'm trying to do:
1. Create a Userform that has one textbox and one button.
2. Have the user enter text in the textbox and press enter.
3. Once enter is pressed have the form take the data they typed into the textbox and search a specific .txt file (beginning the search from bottom to top to find the most recent entry) until it finds a match.
4. Take the latitude and longitude to the right of the match and convert them to proper form. Right now my SQL provides live updates to the .txt file only the lat/lon come accross as |-112053440|33427640|, so I need to insert decimals in the correct places.
5. Either way, they type "c123" it will search until it matches that then take the latitude and longitude that is to the right of the match.
6. Convert the latitude/longitude into proper format because if it pulls the data as is it will appear as[urls]...

But whenever it opens the file, the entire row of data is brought into the first column. What am I doing wrong?
I have an application with a listview which contains 3 columns (account, password, and a hidden column).
I have written some code to save the contents of the account and password columns in the format Account|Password.
Now I would like to be able to import text files into the listview. I was thinking about reading the text file then splitting it using Split("|") however I don't know how to put the variables in the seperate columns. Here is my code:
Dim accounts As String

View 2 RepliesI am trying to import a text file to an access database in VB2008 express. The text file I am testing with is a csv file with 34,000 records. The problem is this takes 2 minutes to read through all this and write it to the database. The actual text file I will be using in production has over 800,000 records and this will take a ridiculous amount of time. I think I am doing something wrong. I have posted my code below. I am reading a record, parsing out the fields to an array, then creating an SQL statement to insert the record and executing it.
