Trying to write an app to load a Text file and then search for substrings that contains some specific characters to compose a list. Tried first loading the text file into a StreamReader then search line by line for my substrings. Had to write a lot of code to identify my strings, but it worked ok. Then tried loading the text file into a RichTextBox then use RichTextBox.Find(......) to look for my substrings. The " .Find" property makes the code really simple, but using RichTextBox the app was really slow.
Using Stream the loop was completed in about 2 minutes and using RichTextBox in about 30 minutes! I will need to make a lot of searches and using RichTextBox is lots easier, but is too slow. Is there any way to perform search operations using Streams instead making a loop and go looking line by line??? Or what else would be a good solution to search for strings in a text file??
I have a large string in which I need to replace specific strings with other values. For example, within this string I might see the following characters: [[sub id=5]]. I am trying to replace those substrings with values, pulled from a table and based on the id. What would be the simplest way to accomplish this. My first thought was to loop through and examine each character and note their positions when they match the pattern. I would then have to identify the id. That would be fairly complicated, however, and there must be a better way.
I am trying to read a text file into a text box, and show the progress bar loading. Sometimes if the text file is big, i don't know when it will finish reading it. This is basically the code i use to read a text file, but i don't know how to show the progress bar.
I'm having a problem with loading two text boxes from a saved text file. I've built a log in form that saves the user-name and password on separate lines in a text file.I have a save button and a load button. My problem is that I'm new to Visual Basics and I can't figure out how to get the two lines from the file to load into their separate boxes on the form.The code that I have loads both lines from the text file into the User Name Box.Oh the username is on the first line in the text file, and the password is on the second line of the text file. Could someone please help! My Loading code is:
Private Sub btnLoad_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnLoad.Click If File.Exists("Login Config.txt") Then Dim ioFile As New StreamReader("Login Config.txt") Dim ioLine As String ' Going to hold one line at a time
I am trying to create a program which reads data from a text file and insert the data in to a SQL 2005 table, but unfortunately it only reads the first line and insert correctly but not the rest of the lines on the text file
i am using vb.net 08. I have a php file loading into a text box. and then i have an external text file. the text file looks like this:"text 1= text 2 text 3 = text 4 etc"I need the program to search for terms inside the text box that are on the right side of the equal sign and replace it with the one on the left
I picked the idea to make a little agenda for my own use and my plan was to edit a txt file using the RichTextBox. I want to use a DateTimePicker too, so that I can load a specific text file for the date chosen so that I can edit it. Does anyone have an idea how I can use the DateTimePicker to create and load certain txt files related to the same date?
I made a text file (.txt) in my project by going to Add New Item and then Text File. I want to have my text file be loaded into the rich text box i have on my form but it doesn't work. It says it can find the file. This is my code:
I am new here and just started visual basic 2008. I want to load a BIG file to edit the text. It is 24MB So whenever I load it in the richtextbox it shows : 7@ :/ Regular text files load fine. Here is the CommonDialog1Open.Filter = ("EXE [*.exe*]|*.exe|All Files [*.*]|*.*") CommonDialog1Open.ShowDialog() rt1.Text = (My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(CommonDialog1Open.FileName)) I know I am trying to load .exe! It will load if I save it through the program but will only show 7@.
So i have a text file that is created in the program which can be loaded back into the program(game save)
Whatever is in the text file "stats" should be listed in listbox1 in the same order it is in the text file. The same with "items" in listbox2. And then "quests" will be in listbox3.
The problem is when i load it instead of what is in the text file it says...
note that box3 is correct that it has nothing in it.
Getting a vibe that my VB is cursed. All I want to do is load a textfile and have the text appear in TextBox1 But no. I have looked at 3 different tutorials and I have tried copying their code word to word but still!
Public Class Form1
Private Sub ImportToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ImportToolStripMenuItem.Click
[CODE]...
And it gives me the following errors:
Error1Character is not valid.C:\Users\Saurabh Sharma\AppData\Local\Temporary Projects\WindowsApplication1\Form1.vb1067WindowsApplication1 Error2'daText' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection
i have code for loading a text file (comma separated) into my DGV:
If Not DataGridView1.LoadTextFile(TextBox1.Text, ErrorList) Then Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder sb.AppendLine("Failed to load text file, see error messages below.")
[Code]....
I'm wondering...is it possible to run this code if the user was to drag and drop the text file onto the datagridview, rather than having to navigate via buttons etc...it'd make it a much nicer method!
I need to load the contents of a text file (itemInfo.txt) into a list box
Public Class MainForm Private path As String = "L:Visual BasicSequentialHW" Private Sub MainForm_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
I'm writing a VB.NET app where I want to load an internal text file from Resource. But the code shows Invalid URI: The Uri string is too long. The code is 'document.Load("C:UsersSouDocumentsVisual Studio 2010Projectsinfo.xml") document.Load(My.Resources.info) 'some processing job with XML node ... So, how to load the resource file ?
I wrote the code and it works great but then i thought i'd have a little challenge and go above and beyond. i decided to make a highscore leader board system. i used the following variables and sub classes to make it but im having a slight issue...
CODE:
The idea is that i wanted to make the system able to associate a name with a score, sort the score from greatest to lowest, save it to a text file, load it from the text file, repeat. so heres a quick list of what i have working... -Stores name and score -Sorts by score then outputs -occasional index of -1 issue -saves score and name to a text file -loads score and name when the form loads -CANNOT add new data to the sorted list...
Thats my main issue. When i have data loaded from last time i try to add a new score to the list but then it gives me an error.
InvalidOperationException was unhandled Failed to compare two array elements
-pointing to the line...
In the details of the exception it continues to say...InnerException {"object must be of type String"} i don't know which parameter its referring to tho, the variable name is already of type string and count is type integer.
I'm learning to write text file from a Listbox and DataGridView, and read from it.Everything works fine until I have a small problem with reading file into DataGridView. The problem I concern is about time. For example, in my text file, I have Arrival Date & Arrival Time, but when I display it in table it is something like below:[code]
I have a few questions. Working on a program here that reads in data from a .txt file and puts it into 3 different labels during the form load procedure. I was wondering though, here's what I have so far:
Dim contents As String contents = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("UserInfo.txt") Label1.Text = contents
I am trying to set a program that save information to a file(store number, state and name. Then once user put store number and click display it shows the founded result in each box. like state in statebox and name in name box. This is my code so far
for the display button
Private Sub displayButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles displayButton.Click Dim file As String = ""
1) How can I load data from Text file to DatagridView. I want it because I'm making a listener. And when I load a data from text file, i want to edit rows. And this calling the second question. 2) How can I save data, Datagrid to Text file.
I found a code Dim obj_oledb_da As System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter Public Function ConnectCSV1(ByVal filetable As String) As DataSet Dim dataSet As New DataSet [Code] ..... I can load data with this code but I can't save.
My Text File must be like this: #IP 127.0.0.1 localhost
I want to add the contents of a comma delimited text file(PracInfo.txt) into a Dictionary on Form_Load. The contents of the file are as follows: wlvc,coadmin mrmd,thadmin ccoa,oaadmin bfhl,bfadmin trty,tradmin nppp,npadmin
For example, I want the wlvc to be the key and the coadmin to be the corresponding value. The code I have so far goes as follows: Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim sr As New StreamReader("C:Programming filesPracInfo.txt") Dim openWith As New Dictionary(Of String, String) Do While sr.Peek <> -1 strHold = sr.ReadLine() ' here I would like to use the String.Split method on strHold and then put that into the Dictionary using Dictionary.Add(Key,Value) but not sure how to do this???? Loop End Sub End Class
I know how to load a txt file into a single text box, but im having trouble loading a text file with multiple output information into multiple text boxes using commas to separate the information.
The duplicates need to stay as they are in the text file. I just want the duplicates deleted from the listbox when viewed. How would I do that? Say there are two orders made by the same user. I only want the user to show up once in the listbox...
im working on the project and loading 10 MB text file to richtextbox, but problem is my application freezing during that time. Can anyone post the solution for progressbar during the file is loading?
I am pretty good with visual basic and visual studio, but the one problem I have is saving... I am currently creating a game, and it has a lot of variables, I want o be able to save all those variables to a text file and then re-open it later. When it is open, i want the variables to have the original value from the text document.
To sum it up: I need variables to be saved in a text file, and then be able to open the text file back and have the variables have the proper values from the text file.
I have been searching around google, and I found ideas, but I have no idea how to use them. Like using XML or saving a table with " TextFile.WriteFromTable" "TextFile.ReadToTable" but I don't exactly get how to use those (the posts weren't too clear)
I have a window application develpoed in vs 2008, framework 3.5, in which i have put a button.. Now where i click that button the other text boxes are filled up with the data from database thru web service.. what i want is while all text boxes are being filled i want to show an animated loading gif image till data loading is completed in all the text boxes.. i have tried to use image picture box but while data is loading gif image is displyes but in static mode.. cant see animation... i think this is because data loading and animation both are done thru one UI thread..
I was wondering if this was possible, if so can you point me in the right direction? "Display the progress of loading a txt file into a listbox with ProgressBar".I am basically loading a file (blah.txt) which contains several strings each on their own line:[code]I would like to display the progress of the listbox loading within a progress bar.
So there's lots of examples of how to do this if your text file happens to be in XML format. However, my text file is not in XML format and as it contains over 172,000 rows I'm not that keen on adapting it (it's a dictionary)! The text file has been included in the project as a resource. So far I've got a DataGridView (could use a DataRepeater if easier?), a BindingSource and a DataSet.
The DataSet has a DataTable already defined in the designer with one column.I've managed to load the text file into a String and then create a StringReader based on that String variable, however I cannot find anyway of loading those strings into the DataTable.
Dim listWords As String = My.Resources.WordList Dim strReader As New System.IO.StringReader(listWords) 'What now???There are some examples of using OleDb functionality but all assume you're loading from a text file residing somewhere in the filesystem, not a project resource.(I'm also assuming that on building the application the resources get embedded (somewhere) rather than being accessed from [AppDir]/Resources/[filename] ??)
