Is there a way to see how many lines are in a text file? This also includes blank lines. I have seen a lot of code in this forum before related to my question, but they stop if there is a blank line. I want it to be so that if there are like 10 blank lines
View 1 RepliesBasically, every time an entry is made - all of the proper data gets put out to a central Listings.txt file and then a specific .txt file for that area. When the user enters the recall form, they can view the listings for all or whichever area they've selected. That works quite fine. However! We also need to include a summary of how many are in each section. Not thinking properly, I started to do this with a counter - until I realized that a counter will lose its value once the program shuts down. My current idea is to count the number of lines in the text file (it outputs 8 lines per listing, so everything would be in values of 8) and then divide that by 8 - but after some searching I haven't been able to find a piece of code that will allow me to get an integer that relates to the amount of individual lines in the file.

First the code needes to identify the 4th element then randomly select lines from lines that contain that element. The code needs to work out how many lines have a matching text to the 4th array then randomly select lines from that total no need for a maximum limit to that number.The same line must only been show the once at a time, but It can then be shown again on a different button click.[code]...

As you will see from the code below I need to be able to tell before the array runs how many members of the array there are or else the program will crash. How can I redim the array depending on how many lines are in the text file (RECORDS.txt)

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..

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.
I have a text file containing lines of data (File 1). I need to delete all the lines in another text file (File 2), which are found in file 1.So I could read file 2 line by line. And then once the line has been read, read file 1 line by line to search for a match. But that's going to be painfully slow.Or I could read file 2 into memory. And then read file 1 line by line and REPLACE the lines in file 2 with nothing, therefore deleting them. File 2 could be 100 mb, so I'm not sure about reading it all into memory.

Is there a way to Count the number of Lines in a Text?
I am hoping that someone can help me with a problem I've got at the moment using Compact Framework.Net 2 SP 2.At the moment I have a UI with a series of text boxes and each textbox displays the contents of a database field. These are shown one beneath another with a scroll bar on the right hand side of the form. Each textbox has a set width which might.I would like to adjust the height each text box based on the number of lines it is holding, the font size and the font in order to avoid using scroll bars on each textbox.[code]

I made a form that when you put your CustomerID in Text3 Box.. it access the records and make some calculations. now.. The customer will return the car.. Then his data should be deleted.. I want to know how to make that when I enter the CustomerID and press on the Command button .. It copies the other lines to a new output folder and doesn't copy these ...

I have this code now doing and that is creating my chart from data off a text file. The final task I need to be able to do, to complete my program is have a way to select how many days of data to populate my chats with via a Text Box input. I am thinking I will need to read the complete text file first to count how many lines are in it, then what ever is put in the text box it will take that many lines of data from the text file and populate the chart. For this to work correctly it would have to read the lines of the file back wards.(last line of file would be the first line..) e.g. textbox1.text = "7" then the chart would show only the last 7 lines of my data.
I was looking up examples of Counting the lines in the file, I think I am close here...

I want to remove all the line which contain [Txxxxx..] and place it in another file. i want to be do like cut and past. Is that possible. Can we remove lines in text files?
I am in the process of developing a VB.net helper application that will combine two text files into one, remove the extra blank lines, do some calculations and spit out a new and improved text file.
My question is: at the beginning of each file is a header row that starts with a "01". How does one go about removing all of the other "01" rows but leave the first header line?
So far, I have succeeded at removing all of the "01" lines, which isn't what I want but hey, I got it to work
