Read And Loop Through Text File?
Jun 11, 2010
I am writing a VB.NET program and I'm trying to accomplish the following:
Read and loop through a text file line by line
Show the event of the loop on a textbox or label until a button is pressed
The loop will then stop on any number that happened to be at the loop event and when a button is pressed again the loop will continue.
Code
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
'Dim nFileNum As Integer = FreeFile() ' Get a free file number
Dim strFileName As String = "C:scb.txt"
[Code] .....
I'm able to read the text file but my label will only loop if I hit the start button. It goes to the next line, but I want it to continue to loop through the entire file until I hit a button telling it to stop.

I have a folder that contains about 100 txt files with information in each file.I'm trying to figure out how to loop through each file in the folder, and add the text to a string.I've pulled this off MSDN's site, but it doesn't seem to read "each" file but just one.
Dim path As String = "c: empMyTest.txt"
' This text is added only once to the file.
If File.Exists(path) = False Then

I'm using VB.Net's Excel component to read Excel file, but the performance is totally slow, since it has to loop through cells to get values. Reading a file containing one sheet with 1162 rows and 105 columns (which is small size compared to my general requirement) already costs more than 5 minutes.1. I want to ask if any of you have suggestion on reading such an Excel file with better performance, except OleDB, cuz most compies here have vesion problem?2. Is it normal that it tooks a long time for Excel component to read Excel file, or is it that I implement the code in a wrong way?

I'm using vb.net 1.1 to develop the program. I got text files that contain test result from a machine, like below.
T1 1.24535 2.56335 2.43253 1.24538 2.55619 4.35243
T2 1.42542 1.63728 3.57295 4.59275 1.57320 2.72057
T3 5.12857 2.45375 6.38593 2.58375 3.57259 3.57204
I need to check the test result with the data from database, to find out which test result is failed. If there is a fail test result, I will show an alert to the operator and stop the checking process. Until the operator close the alert, then the checking process will continue from the last read point.

how to do this for vb6 however i am using vb 2008 and the code for vb6 does not seem to work.
I have designed a form with a text box on it, and a command button underneath. The idea is to run this as a sort of stiky notes section.
I want the text box to read rich text into the textbox (C:\\stickynotes.rtf")
Then i have a command button underneath which i want to save the content of the rich text box to the rtf file (C:\\stickynotes.rtf). This is so that the user can edit and ammend information.
here is some code i have so far
Dim fileReader As System.IO.StreamReader
fileReader = My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFileReader("C:\\stickynotes.rtf")

I've wrote a program designed to loop through a text file containing email addresses and unsubscribe said email addresses in our CRM system. I'm having a problem with the following code...
Do While obj_filereader2.Peek() <> -1
strcuremail = obj_filereader2.ReadLine()
Dim dbqCustNo As String = "SQL CODE HERE - SELECT CUSTOMER NUMBER"
Dim exeCustNo As New SqlCommand()
Dim SQLdr As SqlDataReader

The program is falling over when trying to execute the update commands during the datareader loop, with the fabled 'There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command...' error. This program has evolved as I've found problems/better ways of working, so it might be a case of myself just not using the DataAdapter right - I'm guessing I should be using a function of the open DataReader rather than the ExecuteNonQuery command.

Is there any Windows API Routine to read something like that?Or could you point me an URL where something is implemented?I don't want a procedure to read the file line by line and comparing them with Line Input because blank spaces, empty lines and comments starting with " // " may appear too, and I don't want to take them into account, but also I need to save changes to the file, but only to the modified section, without having to read the whole file, and re-write it completely.
Binary access can't work, because I don't know what's the size of each "section", since the number of elements into it can change.
I need something like the "ReadINI" Windows API Procedure, but allowing me to read the "[XXX]" sections headers, and also the "<XXX>" file title header.

Before I begin I would like to mention that I am not a noob in VB, it's just I've never had to do anything this complex before. Basically what I want is to have a program that you can load a txt file in, have it copy key words, and paste it in a textbox so I can use it later on. So in this text file, there is a bunch of info, but I am only needing a certain part. Here is an example of a text file (actually a .dat file, but is easily read):
