How Best To Parse A Text Log File
Jun 22, 2010I occasionally have to search a very large text file as a troubleshooting step. The file is continuous text (with spaces between much of the text) but almost everything is date/time stamped. The text is actually messages between two machines so I'd like to insert a line break after every message so that I can follow the protocol exchange. Thre are also a few key words that I'd like to again, separate with a line break.

View 1 RepliesParse A Text (log) File?
Jun 2, 2009I am using VB.NET 2005 (if that matters).I need to parse a text (log) file in which to process lines like:
Program Up at: Tue Jun 24 11:32:53.656 2008 - TerrificProgram.exe
<some lines here which I ignore>
0.00:24:16 - Emergency Stop!
<more lines to ignore>
Program Down at: Thu May 29 22:22:56.000 2008
where the 0.0:24:16 is the offset in TimeSpan format (d.hh:mm:ss) relative to the 'Program Up at" datetime.The 'Program Up at: <date/time>' line I successfully detect (in another function which works) and as a result a set a Boolean flag that I am in a valid <Up> - <Down> sequence and I also set a Start-up DateTime var to which to add the offsets later.
The task is to convert the TimeSpan at the beginning of the 'Emergency stop' line to a regular DateTime expression and to write the converted line to another log-file.Simple, isn't it?The function I use for the above purpose is:
Private Function IsTimeSpan(ByRef InputLine As String, ByVal ProgStart As Boolean, ByVal DTofProgStart As DateTime, ByRef NewDateTime As DateTime)
Dim iLine As String = InputLine
Dim Index As Integer = iLine.IndexOf(" ")
[code]....
What I am doing is I pass each line ('InputLine' parameter) from the original log-file to the function together with the 'in <up>-<down>' flag ('ProgStart' parameter'), the start ot program DateTime (in the 'DTofProgStart') and I want the NewDate to hold the real datetime of Emergency event occurence (not its offset).
What happens is that I successfully detect the lines of interest but the NewDateTime is not updated (though 'ts' is in the correct format and the assignment 'NewDateTime = DTofProgStart' correctly assigns the passed value).Another curious thing is that the line
InputLine.Replace(testStr, NewDateTime.ToString("MMM dd HH':'mm':'ss yyyy"))
does not change the original TimeSpan beginning of 'InputLine' with the regular DateTime (though not updated) in 'NewDateTime'.Why?

How To Parse Through Text File In Quick Way

Jan 20, 2011I'm running into a problem whenever I try to parse a text file by each line. I know I could use stream reader to read line by line but it is a lot easier to simply use split() and I would also like to know the reason why split() doesn't work.
For example, I created a file "test.txt" and filled it with the following text.
text1
text2
text3
then put the following code in the load event of the form (a button click would work the same).

Parse Delimiter Text File?
Apr 12, 2012I'm trying to use VB.NET to parse a very large plain text file (2 GB). It is a database and has a field delimiter of SOH and a record delimiter of STX. I want to separate the fields and records of the file.
I would normally read each line of a text file and then use the split function to separate out the fields. I can't use this approach as there isn't always a delimiter on every line.
Is there any way to read a file until STX is found (rather than one line at a time)?

Parse Text File And Create An Excel Report?
Oct 22, 2010My application is supposed to parse a text file (relatively easy) and create an excel spreadsheet report. Should I write a stand alone VB.NET application that saves the excel file, or should I use VSTO? I am unsure if there are any differences in terms of ease of development, usability issues, API functions available, etc.Are there any other programming languages/interfaces/libraries that will allow me to rapidly develop an involved excel spreadsheet?

[2008] Parse A Large Text File For Certain Strings
Feb 22, 2009I am trying to parse a very large text file for certain strings. The text file is part of a level-making software for an old game I play. The text file basically contains all the information the level designer software needs, but the only important bit is the 'texture information'. Basically what I'm trying to create is a little program that parses the text files and shows the user a list of every texture in that text file. The problem is, the strings denoting textures are not really easy to find, and I can't think of any sensible and fast way to get them...

View 2 RepliesOleDbException Saying Spreadsheet Is Full When Inserting To Excel Spreadsheet
Nov 11, 2011I have a VB.Net program that reads in a flat file, and then parses line by line, formatting the data into different spreadsheets in an excel workbook (each line can be any 10+ different record types so I parse and put in appropriate excel sheet).
For smaller sized flat files (under 10mb), the parser works great. However, I am trying this on a file that is over 120mb (400k+ lines). While running, I will get an OleDBException saying that the spreadsheet is full. Now I am pretty confident that Excel can handle a much larger data set than a flat file. So I assume this exception is not giving me the true story as to what is really occuring.
I open a connection, and then parse each line in the file, inserting each row into the excel file. I assumed it would be bad performance wise to open/close the connection between each insert. Could this be causing the issue? Any ideas what I need to do to handle such a large file? There are cases where the flat file can be over 500mb.
To actually do the insert into excel, I am just doing the following (I construct an sql query based on the type of row and values parsed):
Dim conn As New OleDbConnection()
conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + ExportLocation.Text + "" + importFileName + "-PVF.xls;Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES"""
