Jump 3 Lines In List?
May 6, 2012
I have written code to download a webpage HTML source code into a .txt file, once downloaded, the code I posted here adds all lines as strings into a list and is supposed to find an anchor point as a position reference and then jump down the list to the real keyword.
I have an anchor point in this list that is a constant that I will always "know of" but I need to jump down 3 lines below this anchor point to the real keyword I'm looking for that is always "unknown to me" since it's a variable.
My anchor point is the keyword Hair Color which both the words and the line they're on are unique in the entire source code. My target keyword is the variable Brown (in this case), that I can't target directly because neither it nor the line it's on are unique and will change from query to query. The HTML table source code like the one below is always structured the same but some pages may vary in layout depending on the keywords applicable on the webpage. The code structure below however is always a constant, you can always count on all the webpages that the keyword Hair Color is always the 3 line into the table row and its variable is always 3 lines below that. So even though the answer I'm looking for is always 3 lines below my anchor point, my anchor point will not always be on the same line of code in the source code.
HTML code in the .txt file:
<tr>
<td class="paramname">
<b>Hair Color</b>
[Code].....
I may not be using the code correctly, through my attempts I don't know how to do that jump.
how to "skip" or "jump" down lines in my list by predefinition like: "ok, I found my anchor point, now I'm supposed to jump down 3 lines and pass what ever I find there to a string!""ok, I found my anchor point, now I'm supposed to go to the second instance of the keyword Brown from here that I find and pass what ever I find there to a string!"

I want to use a FileStream and seek from the beginning of the file while moving forward in the file .01% of the file size at a time.
So I want to seek to a position in the file, read the entire line, if it matches my criteria I am done. If not, I seek ahead another .01.
C# is OK but VB.NET preferred.
I used to do it something like this in VB6...
FileOpen(1, CurrentFullPath, OpenMode.Input, OpenAccess.Read, OpenShare.Shared)
Dim FileLength As Long = LOF(1)
For x As Single = 0.99 To 0 Step -0.01

When a compile fails in VB.NET in Visual Studio 2008, an Error List pops up at the bottom of the screen. To jump to an error, I double click on an error in the error list. Is there a shortcut to automatically jump to the next error in the list? It gets a little bit tedious at times having to reach down and double click a list that I like to keep collapsed.

I want to make a utility that allows the user to edit Jump List entries. There is some kind of tie between the raw junplist filenamess and the app, for instance:
Excel = cdf30b95c55fd785
Word = adecfb853d77462a
Those were found by trial and error and there are a few more on the net.
For MS Word the file is "C:UsersusernameAppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsRecentAutomaticDestinationsadecfb853d77462a.automaticDestinations-ms"
What I'm wondering is if anyone knows how to determine what filenames go with what program. Deciphering the files will be another issue for sure

Ok so im looking at this code and it cant possibly be right but im not sure how to do what i want.I have made a list of n points. I now want to click a button on my form and use the picturebox paint event to draw my lines between the points in the list.From what i can see i have at least two issues with this code. 1. Nowhere in this snippet do i reference the picture boxes paint event 2. I do not think that the loop i have is how to navigate through the list of Points to make my drawings.

I have two list boxes created. They are populated when I enter the quantity and the price (one list box for each). This data actually comes from another set of text boxes. The problem is when I have two or more items in each list box I'm unable to come up with the total. I need to take the quantity * price for each entry and then add that to the quantity * price for the other entries. When I press my "total" button it's only doing the calculation for the first line.

vb.net is SOOOOOOO annoying.i am drawing a list of lines to a control. So, I declare:Private Lines As New List(Of Line) Private CopyOfLines as New List(Of Line)In code, I have a custom Class called "Line".
I am wanting to reuse the list called "Lines" so I can start a new list while retaining the old list. So I copy it's contents to "CopyOfLines", then clear the contents of "Lines":
CopyOfLines = Lines
Lines.Clear
Problem is the contents of CopyOfLines ALSO gets cleared! Is there no way to break the connection of "CopyOfLines" to "Lines"? This seems so unnecessary. After all, if I say:
a=10
b=a
a=0
Then (b) will still = 10 while (a) = 0.
Why does vb.NET have to break such simple logic and turn it into a gargantuan issue? I wouldn't mind it as much if the MSDN library would make it possible to find references to "List (Of whatever)", but all I get are references to text in a textbox. It seems that every time I go to the MSDN, I get a convoluted, runaround explanation or simply no documentation of something someone has done in their own code? Where did THEY find the information?

I'm new to Visual basic (which will be obvious from my question) and am writing program that does various calculations, then displays the results in a list box. the results, however, are all concatenated, end don't each appear on a new line. I tried adding a carriage return/line feed at the end buit the compiler rejected it.
I can't find any examples of creating a list box, and adding multiple entries (one for each time a loop is performed), nor of how to use columns to make the resulting display cosmetically pleasing.

I'm using this code to load a text file into list box.
r = New IO.StreamReader(str)
While (r.Peek() > -1)
ListBox1.Items.Add(r.ReadLine)
End While
r.Close()
But it loads the whole file into list box. I only want to load those lines of text that contain following number: 2008. It doesn't matter if the "2008" is at the beginning, middle or the end of a line.

I have a forum with three text boxes and one button. I need to place various lines of text into textbox1 from a list of information.The list contains hash codes and user ID and various ofter pieces of information without spaces or punctuation. Most of the information I don't need. However, I do need the first 25-30 characters and last 25-30 characters from each text.
Lets say this is the text:
Simmon_unit32=sub4g36ff&product= shipment29664KL49Loc% 6679KM94
I need to place the above line of text into textbox1 (this I'm doing through cut and past, so not a problem). Then, click button1 and have everything before "&product=" display in textbox2 and everything after "Loc%" display in textbox3. The line of text will usually not be the same number of characters. There may be 10 characters before and after those words of 50 characters before and after those two words. So, how do I create a substring or loop (or something) that will read the line of text and display what I need in textbox1 and textbox2, regardless of the amount of characters in the line of text?
[edit]Unfortunately there are multiple & and % signs in the texts. In fact, there will most likely be an & sign somewhere before "&product=". However, "&product=" only shows up once. As far as the % sign goes. There will be 3 or 4 of them in the text. To make matters more difficult, "Loc%" also shows up multiple times in the text. But, I only need the information that displays after the very last % sign to appear in textbox3, if that helps.I'm using visual basic 2008, in a Windows forms Application.

I have a form with textboxes for entering data. One of the textboxes is for entering a value that is always one character. How can I make the cursor automatically jump to the next control when a character has been entered? I'm thinking the key press and release event and then set focus but is there a better way?

I am not sure what to do with the following. The code below reads from a massive list of phrases, checks for a certain conditions and if all succeed a) adds the output to the new_question list b) keeps the value of the variable incremental to "level_0".
If the fourth "if statement" fails, the code changes the value of the variable incremental to "level_1" and jumps to a second case statement. The problem is that for certain input the code fails form the "third if statement" and execution refuses to jump to "level_1" (bacause the fourth "if-statement" must fail as well). I tried moving the "incremental variable" between the third and the fourth "and if" but since the code reads from a list of phrases even if it returns true, execution jumps to level_1 (as some phrases fail from the third "if statement"). I hope I am making sense

I am working in a proprietary language based on basic on a measuring machine. I delibritly set the first two checks to fail for testing purposes. The first set of ifs for size X works great. When the code is run and it gets to Size_Y, if the operator picks "no I don't want to remeasure" (returning a 7) the code jumps all the way to the last end if. I suspect I have improperly nested my Ifthens, but I can't see it.

how to count the lines in textbox1.text (with multiplelines). I don't need to count each character. I only need to count each line from top to bottom in textbox1.text (multiplelines) and I will use Label1 to display the numbers.
example:
1-pauljaones
2-tommyperrry
3-marktoms
4-Jonessmith
5-paulwhite
Obviously this is 5 lines and that's what I need to count.

I have written a simple script to get a bunch of lines from a text file (they will be filenames eventually) which are split by new lines and puts each one into an array..
Dim ary() As String
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists("C:MenuFiles.txt") Then

The only thing I can do for now is either use the substring function to remove the first character from all array values after 0 but I don't like that because it's messy and what if the split "works" as I want it to one one of the lines and knocks of the first character when I don't want it to.
