I only want to place the numerical data in an array. At the moment I have the following code to do this. [Code]. This code places the numbers in the data array when there is not any text in the file, i.e. when there are no headers. I would like to place the headers in another array, and then have the numbers in the array as in the code above.
View 5 RepliesI'm having problem reading Binary file that has two types of data in it; Strings and numeric data in decimal format.[code]...
1. The loop doesn't stop, and it gives me "Unable to read beyond the end of the stream" Error..
2. The output isn't accurate, apart from a few random correct strings and numbers..
3. After the loop is fixed, how can i save the data to an Array or write it to a text file?. Can the be saved line by line so that the output file has the same number of lines?
4. As you can see in the code, I've tried writing data in a file, but it doesn't work.. Messagebox does show some data (even though it's not accurate), the file however doesn't contain any data..
I read a csv file into my .net program using ado.net and display it in a datagridview.In the file I have two rows. The first column is a component id, and it is supposed to be numeric. But the user can edit the csv file before having my program load it, and accidentally put text there. That is something I want to edit when he presses a button to add the data to the database. So let's say he puts a value of A in the first record and a value of 1 in the second record. Or vice versa. What is displayed in the dgv is a blank in the first record and a 1 in the second, or 1 in first and blank in second. If both csv records are A, then what is displayed in the dgv is an A in both the first and second records. I don't understand what is happening. The fact that there sometimes is a numeric in the column makes it think it is a numeric field and therefore only display numerics and blank otherwise, and the fact that there's always text in the column makes the code know it is a text field?
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a program for a side business I run with a friend, who is a non-programmer.I've done a program before, using IO.StreamReader and IO.StreamWriter to read and write lines to a text file.
But now, I'm working on reading text data (it's output from an old legacy program) that reads a first and last name, and the customer number (6 digits) from one file.
Then, it uses the data (customer number) read the first time to cross reference the zip code and status from a second file, and display it.
The Data in the Text Files are as follows:[code...]
How would I begin parsing for the first and last name, and the customer number to assign to different variables?In the line that references names.txt I meant to put customers.txt.
That's a snippet of code I took from a previous program, so I know how to read the data, just don't know how to extract it.

View 4 RepliesI am trying to read data with a test routine from a fairly simple 3rd party Excel file. The file has three sheets and was created by Open Office 3.x as an 'Excel 97/2000/XP .xls' file. The later, still to be programmed, application must later run on machines with Windows XP Professional using the 2.0 .net framework and no Office package installed. The content of the file does not need to be modified by the later application. For some reason, numeric values are not read correctly. They "convert" to DBNull. I've searched around a bit but not found a 'simple' solution for solving this problem. Adding 'IMEX=1' or 'HDR=Yes;IMEX=1' to the connection string results in an error 'Installierbares ISAM nicht gefunden' (installable ISAM not found).
Based on various examples I've found, I've written the following test code:
Option Strict On
Option Explicit On
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

View 4 RepliesI am developing an app that will import numeric data and export it to various text files using ascii templates. I am basically converting the template file into a single string, replacing application fields in the string with {0}, {1}, etc... and adding the result into an array that is then passed to the String.Format(str_Template, Params()) to provide the final output. I have set it up so the template will use the standard VB.Net formatting syntax.

I am reading a data file and storing them in an array of string.Data is random, could be like "1","2","133,18" but sometimes there can be missing values like "?".Once I load the data in the array, I want to check if at least a majority (like 60% of them) are numeric values.If yes, then I wanna track down the higher and lowest value in the array, and output a range of 5.Loop through the array
If 60% of them are numbers (integers or decimals) then find highest value, find lowest value end if produce range
If for example lowest = 1 and highest = 100, range of 5 means 0,20,40,60,80,100 (so 5 ranges are 0-20, 20-40, 40-60, 60-80, 80-100).Also if the ranges turn to have decimals due to weird numbers, I would like to round them up.My problem is, in order to find highest and lowest when there are non numeric values in the array like "?", how should I handle those? I was thinking of something like Double.NaN but I would have to have an array of doubles.
