I'm working on a program which should edit a text file by adding/deleting some specific lines.By default this text file doesn't have these specific lines, so the program will add them.But I also want it to replace them if they're already in the text file.Basically this is my idea:- Read the text file- Search the specific lines- If they exist then replace them
View 4 RepliesI have 2 text files that are formatted in standard XML One of them contains some lines that need to be copied to the other. What i am trying to do is search through the first file until i see the string "<Segment" then copy all lines into a rich text box up until the string "<segment/>" I Then want to look through the other file until i find the string "<Jointfree/>" then copy the contents of the rich text box to underneath the Jointfree String I Also need to search the second file until i find the string "<Markers/>" and then paste some text into the line above the markers tag.
View 4 RepliesVS 2008 Read specific lines from txt file?
View 2 RepliesI have a program that will read a text file and put information from the text file into multiple text boxes. What I am trying to do now is be able to change the values in the textboxes and be able to write the specifc changes back to the text file. One way I though of doing that was using a while loop and copy the lines of the text file to another text file, then when it finds the line that has the specific change from the text box, make the change and continue writing the line until it reaches the end of the file. Then I was going to copy the file and overwrite the original, escientally making the change to the new file. Right now it will make the new file but will just make a blank text file. I think the problem is in the while loop statement but I am not sure. Here is the code below:
Code:
Private Sub submitButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles submitButton.Click
Dim trackname As String

I'm trying to create a program that stores a users stats for their character (for something like an RPG). I know how to write more than one line in a text file, but I want to learn how to read and write text on specific lines of my file. I know that you can just read each new line individually in order using a StreamReader, such as
username.text = readLine.ReadLine()
userage.text = readline.ReadLine()
[Code]....
This is good for just displaying the stats and changing them from a constant interface, but I'm afraid that eventually I'll need to read/write specific lines, like reading the fourth line which might specify magic level, or writing a new money amount.
I'm new here and I'm trying to make a little program with Visual Basic (2010 Express Edition).The purpose of this program is:
1) Load the text file lines and split them into a constant and a value
2) Edit the text file lines values
The content of the text file is like this:
[Code]...
This basically split every lines in two parts: the constant ("Name", "Surname", "Age", "Hair") and the values ("Mario", "Rossi", "50", "Black").Now about the second point, I've added a Button1 which should take the Textbox1/2.Text and the Combobox1 selected item and replace the values(aka separator(1)) in the text file. The problem is I don't have any idea at the moment how to do it. What method should I use?
I am trying to read from a file that was created with a stream writer the names line from the text file that contains data for name, phone number, pager number, cell number, voice mail, and email.What I need to do is read and load the names from the file into a list box, and then from the list box be able to choose each name and have the information (phone, pager, cell, etc.) show up in text boxes that goes with the specific name.

to display the first 500 characters of an rtf file I'm drawing from in earlier code, but I'm now wanting to specify line - for example lines 4 - 20.I can't find any way to get this to work as when I change the above code to:
For Each book In books
result.Add(File.ReadLines(book).Substring(4, 24))

I get massive issues stating "Substring is not a member of 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumberable(Of String)" I feel like I'm literally 1 line of code away from this being fixed but cannot get my head around it.
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
[code]....
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 the following code that replaces an item in a richtextbox with a new one. Reg-replace works fine but only when the pattern matches only one value. When there are two similar values in the richtextbox it matches them both. How can I replace based on specific lines?

I have a RichTextBox.
I want to input an integer and the RichTextBox to go to that line and delete all lines above it.
For example, if I have 100 lines in the RTB, and I specify "25" as the integer, I want lines 1-25 deleted and for the RTB to keep 26-100.
What I would like to be able to do is to take data from textbox1, textbox2, and textbox3 and modify the "Y" variables in lines 5, 14, and 15 by the value of textbox1. The "X" variable in line 5 needs to stay constant while the one in lines 14 and 15 change to the input of textbox2. Textbox3 needs to modify the "F" variable in lines 3 and 14. Then the whole text needs to be written out to notepad

View 4 RepliesI'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

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'm making a button to delete lines not containing specific text.
For example, if the text is "test". I want to remove all lines not containing "test" in it.
What I am trying to do is remove lines of a multiline TextBox based on certain criteria, such as the number of characters or words. For example, if I paste a list of phrases into the TextBox, I want to remove all phrases that contain more than 25 characters. Once the phrases are removed, I then want to remove the empty lines that are left behind, but I have commented out the ".Replace(vbCrLf & vbCrLf, vbCrLf)" for the sake of making the results easier to follow (see screenshot from Excel below, which includes a blank cell wherever a phrase has been removed).
Here is my
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim lines() As String = TextBox1.Text.Split(vbCrLf)

Why is it not "blanking" the entire line in ALL cases where the line contains more than 25 characters?
as per title, I want specific lines in listbox as bold or with colours.

ListBox1.Items.Add("XYZ: " & read_write_str(deviceHandle, xyz, xyz.Length))I get reply from device for i.e. 1234567890, I want this to be in BOLD or if I could add colours to it.

I am creating a simple researcher application to access and store data. As of today it workes by entering a number into a text field and hit enter/button. The result then shows up in a non-menu webbrowser window. What i would like it to do was to exclude the web browser window, and instead show in a popup window inside the application. This should be rather easy, here's what i think might be a problem. I want only to show specific lines from the webpage, not the whole page.
