Pull A Random Word From A Text File And Check Against User Input?
Apr 19, 2011
I need to pull a random word from a text file in my resource folder (visual Studio 2010) and then have a user enter a letter to see if it is in the word. Yes, Hangman game. There is more, but right now I need to pull from that text file for a start. I know what I have is not even close to right under "Get Word Button", but I'm kind of confused about the process.
Public Class hangMan
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim word As New Random
End Sub

I have to use the word list supplied and cannot use "streamreader" so, I need to pull a random word from text file in my resource folder (Visual Studio 2010) so user can guess letters for hangman game). I don't know if the code under "get word" button is right or not as far as pulling from the file. I would like to get that far!

I am trying to figure out how to read a text file and check the value entered into a textbox to see if it already exists. Its basically a validation list.
I found some code on how to read a text file, but I do not know what to do with the information.
Sub Main()
If RadioButton1.Focus = True Then
'Check TextBox1 value against list of known part numbers
[Code]...
How do I compare the textbox value to a line read from the file and stop if there is a match?

I have lines in my text file like this:
x y
x Y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
Lets say I have 20 lines like this. I want to change this lines according to user input. So user will input how many lines they want to change in terms of row and column. In my program
Row=TextBox5.Text column=TextBox6.text
User must enter initial value for x and y. Let say the initial value is
x=1 y=1.
Row=2 column=5..
Now my lines should look like this.
1 1
2 1
3 1
4 1
5 1
1 2
2 2
3 2
4 2
5 2
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
x y
Since I enter row=2 only two set of lines is change other lines remain unchange. But in my coding all the lines is changing like this:
1 1
2 1
3 1
4 1
5 1
1 2
2 2
3 2
4 2
5 2
1 3
2 3
3 3
4 3
5 3
1 4
2 4
3 4
4 4
5 5
which is wrong.
This is my code
Dim lines() As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines("C:\wirematches.txt")
Dim xValue As Decimal = Val(TextBox1.Text)
Dim yValue As Decimal = Val(TextBox2.Text)
Dim altValue As Decimal = 2.54
Dim lineTracker As Integer = 0
[Code] .....
This code working fine for changes the column. But i dont know where i should write the code for row.

So if the User enters Daniel into txtName, then a txt File is created called "Daniel.txt"

Is there a simple way to save user input from MANY controls (textboxes, comboboxes, etc...) to a text file? When I say 'MANY', I am referring to at least 580 textboxes and several dozen comboboxes.
I may be able to accomplish this using the StreamWriter Class, but doing this individually would take quite a long time. I suppose I could also change all text boxes to richTextBoxes and save to .rtf. It seems like this would be even more time consuming.
Surely there is a simpler way to do this 'globally', perhaps with an added single line of code that points (and saves) to a preset or created text.txt file whenever text is added or changed in a textbox or combobox throughout the program.

Im working on writing a program for doing standard deviation and as of right now im running into one slight issue with subtracting my mean from the original numbers. I will post most of my code so you can get an over view but i mostly just want help on this one little part for now. Im going to be making a website for school and put some programming stuff on it so i wanted to make just some random programs for it so this is school related but not really homework. It's line 26 and 27 that this is relating to. When i put a stop in my code and look at the result of arrayDifferences it gives me 0.0 when it should be -1. I know i can go this route and say arrayDifferences(1) = arrayDifferences(1) - arrayAvg but seeing as how i want this to be a random number of numbers input by the user i cant do that.

I'm working on a problem where i have to allow a user to input a word or phrase and then determine if it is a palindrome (a words that reads the same forwards and backwards) . It also says that the program should use a Boolean-valued function procedure named IsPalindrome that returns the value True when the word or phrase is a palindrome and the value False otherwise.

If my Category and Forum selection is incorrect I am sorry and feel free to move it. I'd like to have the users input in the message box that will show. For example: There is a textbox and the user puts in their name as Bob. Then the message box would be: What my main goal is, is being able to include the users input they type inside the textbox inside the message box.

I am currently making a boggle game, I have done finished every aspect of it expect the spell check bit. I have been searching the internet fruitlessly, and have only found spellcheckers but none of the results allow the program to know the word is wrong. So what I want my program to do is after the user has pressed done or the timer runs out, it checks the items in listbox1 and if it is wrong then puts the item in listbox2.

I'm new to VB and am trying to create something that will change specific words within a DB entry to a random word from a table. My goal is to change swear words to a random word in a separate table (like darn, dang, waterstopper, etc.) So far I have an "Input" table with the text I need to change and a "SwearRep" table with a list of words I need to replace in col "WBad" and their replacements in "WGood".

I have a word document (word 2000) and a drop down form field with options A, B and C.If the user pics A, I wants to hide some text and show some other text. If they pick B, then hide something else, show something else, and so on.How does one do this?I assume I need to pass the form field contents to a procedure or macro and then go into If >Then font.hidden = true or something? I've identified the text to hide/show with bookmarks, so I think I can use the bookmark as a range to hide or show?
How do I pass the form field content to the procedure? Also, can I trigger the procedure once the user selects something in the drop down? Like kick a macro off I'm thinking?

Vb is not my language of choice , but I have to do this for school and I'm not having a very easy time with VB's documentation.I'm just creating a very simple console application that accepts user input: degrees in Celsius, and converts it into Fahrenheit. I want to make sure that if the user just hits enter without entering the degrees in Celsius, then an if else statement will catch and write to enter Celsius again.Here's what I've tried:

I have been searching and searching and cannot find out how to do what I'm looking to do, that is the only reason I would post a new thread.[code]...
After reading the file, I want to load the NameId, the ColourId and the Text into a multidimensional array. Anything I have found about loading into an array shows text being separated by small delimiters like commas, but this I cannot do because I need to use this format. What I am wanting to do is load all of the NameId's into a listbox and when a certain NameId is selected, it will bring up the Text in a TextBox and the Colour value in a ComboBox.

The problem is the code looks perfect to me, but when I debug, the first line that starts with : lstSummary.items.add returns as being in the wrong format. The code is below.

I need to have two pieces of software, made in vb where one encrypts the contents of a .txt file, and the other decrypts it, and then picks one word at random and displays it each time a button is pressed, but never displays the same word. Or, if there was a way to hard code it into the program as there is only 5 words that would be better.

It returns the word and the scripture the word is in, but it also isreturning a bunch of weird text like: archan78988yykp etc etc. How do I onlyreturn the scripture with the searchedword, in this case the searched word is love. The code I am using is as follows:

The following code allows words to be added to a listbox. Add the word to a text file and create a folder with the word as its name. The second part undoes the actions.If I try to delete the word immediately after adding it one of two things happen.
1.An error is reported stating the path cannot be found. Although the listbox index value is correct according to the code the error is pointing at that index +1.
2.The code continues to the point of requesting conformation to delete the folder, still pointing at the index value +1. I the action is confirmed the wrong folder is deleted.
However if I stop debugging, then run the code again all works correctly.Is it likely to persist when the application is compiled?
