Overwriting The String While Writing On Text File?
Jan 15, 2012
I have written a program which reads the text from the text file cleans it for some specific letters or phrases and then saves it in another text file. I am having a problem in rewriting the processed or cleaned data (after it has removed some phrases and characters)onto writing the file.
I have successfully written the text on the file except one problem. In each loop when each string is cleaned and is written on the text file, it overwrites the previous string. What I want is that it should write in the next line or in the same line.
My code is given below:
Private Sub btnopen_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnopen.Click
FileOpen.Title = "Please select the file"
[Code]...
how can I write the text in the new line and avoid overwriting of text in my text file.
the program im working on is a form with multiple controls (textboxes,combobox, etc.) and it goes out and reads in a text file called test2.txt and plugs in values to the controls. the user will be able to change text in the fields and when they hit apply, it needs to overwrite the file.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim theFile As String = "c:\temp\test2.txt" Dim lines() As String = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("c:\temp\test2.txt")
[code]....
with the given code, it errors out and tells me the file is already being used and can't be copied.how can i go about closing the file and THEN overwriting it?
Well I basically know how to read a text file, replace text then write to one. how to append text after a specified string (ie, insert text at a specified line, removing the text after a string in a line and changing it without altering other lines, etc). Can someone please tell me how I would go about adding a string after a certain string in a text file? For example:
I'm outputting a number of variables to a text file and each field needs to be in a specific place.For example:I have a string that is varying in length, but will never be more than 5 characters. The string has to end on the 8th character of the line. Is there a way to write the string to ensure that the string ends at a specific place on the line, regardless of the length?
I have a long UTF8 encoded text string. The actual values stored in the string are hexadecimal. I want to convert the encoding and save to a binary file.
Is there a simple encoding.convert or other method to do this with?
Basically the output is twice as large as it needs to be right now. The long way of doing it would be a routine to go through the string two characters at a time and convert to byte array and then .writeallbytes I guess. It seems there must be a simpler way of converting this?
Write a program that requests a color as input in a text box and then determines whether or not the color is in the text file. The program should use the Boolean-valued Function procedure IsCrayola that returns the value True if the color in the text box is a Crayola color.
ive managed to finally get it all working.if i click submit.. a file is then created in xml format but if i enter new data it will overwrite the same file how do i stop this.[code]how do i stop this from overwriting?
i have made a program that takes info from your registry and uploads it so I can fix it and you can download the new version of a key that makes things work faster.... when someone uploads a file, it works good, and i can look at the ftp's text file and see it, but every time someone ELSE uploads something, it overwrites the previous text file and makes another one, which deletes the first one. i would like so that when another person uploads something, it will just be on the second line then third, so on so forth.
I've two Strings which I'm loading from a SQL Server 2008 database (nvarchar-field)After loading them from the database Visual Studio 2010 displays them as follows in the watch window:
str1 = "Test" str2 = "Test"
But the comparison with str1 = str2 returns False If I write those strings to a file with UTF8 Encoding the result is as expected:
Test Test
If I write those strings to a file with ANSI (Default) Encoding the result is NOT as expected:
Where is the Byte 63 in case of ANSI Encoding OR Bytes 239, 187, 191 in case of UTF8 Encoding for str1 coming from?Well, Bytes 239, 187, 191 are the BOM for UTF8. The question here would more likely be: Why do I get the BOM for str1 but not for str2?(Well, the values are values passed to a webservice which inserts them into the database, the initial values are passed to this webservice by a client I've no control over)
This is my first post in the community. I am putting together a program that serves two functions:1. Takes input from TextBoxes and writes it to a text file.2. Takes the text from the text file and displays two specific strings of text in a MessageBox.This is the code for the button that writes the input to file.
Private Sub facSubmitButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles facSubmitButton.Click Dim facultyRecord As String = "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\teeny.txt"
When using .write method the string will be stored at the end of the text file. Is there a method that adds them on top? If not, how can I get this done without using too much memory and processor time?
I have just recently been using VB 2010 after using VB5. I have noticed a lot of changes. The problem I have is that I wish to open and save text files to and from arrays in the background. I've attached what I would do in VB5. I have searched around, but all the examples I find use a Textbox instead of an array. Can anyone show me how I can do this with VB 2010?
I am creating a text file using a save file dialog and copying the path to the text box which file is used to write from vb.net. when i try to write i get an error "The process cannot access the file '....fileName.txt' because it is being used by other program".
The code is below
Public Sub writeInTextFile() Try Dim oWrite As New StreamWriter(TxtOutputPath.Text)
I am attempting to gather a group of file names from a directory. I am able to do this. I tested the code by having the list populate into a listbox and all desired items were added to the list.
Here is my code: Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo(strPath) Dim dir1 As IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles("*.txt") Dim dFiles As IO.FileInfo ListBox.Items.Add(dFiles)
However, a listbox is not my desired output. I am attempting to write these file names to a text file for purposes of then parsing the information to a datatable to compare with another datatable. How to get my filenames written to a textfile.
I'm creating an app that will be run via scheduled task, it will save an XLS file with the following naming convention:'S14-PROORDEREXP-Thursday' (the Thursday will change depending on what day of the week it is)I have the following line of code to save this excel file:
VB If gstrJob = "S11" Then xlWorkSheet.SaveAs(gstrFilePathS11 & gstrFileNameS11 & gstrFileTypeS11) Else
[code].....
this will work fine the first time this scheduled task runs and there are no existing files but at the end of 1 week when I will be overwriting the existing files, how do I tell the application to overwrite the existing files without waiting on a yes prompt from me which it does in debug mode?
The program I am making uses a save dialog box and when I save a file it works fine. When I save and overwrite the file it seems to append the data. For some reason it keeps all previous data and just writes the data again. I'm using the XMLWriter to save the files. Is there any way of fixing this?
I am going to handle an event to write all files in a directory to a text file.But only the last file's context is saved successfully, I think that because of overwriting.
Private Sub ExtractButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ExtractButton.Click Dim FileName As String Dim FileItem As ListViewItem
I am writing an application that must generate a plain Text file with fixed sized columns.my current code is:
Dim MyFilePath As String = Path & FILE_PREFIX & FileNr & ".TXT" IO.File.Delete(MyFilePath) Dim FileStr As New IO.StreamWriter(MyFilePath, False, <ENCODER HERE>)
I want to write a line into a text /.cfg file. the line is = name "ishtiak", i need a space between name & "ishtiak". the text "ishtiak" is loading from a textbox called textbox1. i don't want in the text box my name like this "ishtiak" it will be without "" like this ishtiak but in the text file it will add "" before & after my name.
so the question is: 1.how to add space between name & "ishtiak"? like this = name "ishtiak". 2.My textbox text will be ishtiak,but it will be written like this "ishtiak" [Code]
We have some information that we need to write (about 18KB) to a .txt file stored in one of our network drives. The file is re-written about once every 15 minutes but is read practically at least every second. We are currently using StreamWriter to write file.The file server is in remote location and the round trip ping varies from <1ms to 15ms.
The problem is, sometimes it takes as long as 6 seconds to write the contents to the file, which is definitely way too long even after we take consideration of the network speed. therefore, I am just wondering if there is any efficient way to write the file using VB.Net to improve the performance? Java has a very good tool named BufferedOutputStream, which unfortunately is not available in VB.Net (or I just have not found it).
Application log file have been created to monitor the process and following code has been used to write the log information into text file. For the first time there is no error encountered when the application runs for hours, may be 3 hours i am getting following error "An unhandled exception of type 'System.StackOverflowException' occurred in mscorlib.dll" [code]...
I want to write some stats to a text file every time a person loads a page. But every once in awhile I am getting at 'Could Not Open File, Already in use' type of error. I can not 100% replicate this error it is very erratic. My code is
Public Sub WriteStats(ByVal ad_id As Integer) Dim ad_date As String = Now.Year & Now.Month Dim FILENAME As String = Server.MapPath("text/BoxedAds.txt")
[Code]....
how can I lock and unlock the file so I stop getting the erratic errors?
Im working on an assignment for school and i have to write my schedule to a file using input boxes, also i have to use a structured array on the assignment. Both of these i have working fine.I just have one problem, my formatting such like when i write to the file it doesnt look all nice and straight and when i read from the file its uneven also. I know its because the classnames/teachernames are different lengths but i was wondering if anyone could explain to me how to format it to make it look nicer in the text file, and when its displayed on the form in the label
