I am trying to read a PDF file line by line using PDFBox.This is the first time I have ever attempted to do this with a PDF so I am not sure what I was expecting but I thought I would end up with some "mark up", which I could use to parse the lines I was looking for out of the file.
Anyway it didn't work out the way I had planned and I am not sure if that is because I am using the wrong tool or not using the right tool correctly.I managed to extract the text but I didn't really see any mark up that would be usefull to parse the file. Does anybody have any experiece with extracting test from PDFs. What tool(s) do you recomend?
I am quite new in VB NET, after VB. and unfortuantely I had to copy paste and merge the code fragments from some tutorials.
I have a folder including 200 eng files which can be opened by notepad. And each file has around 4000 row; with 60 field seperated by coma. I need to read specific row-field value at each files.
Now what I can is:
a) reading individual txt files and find specific value
b) listing all of the files in the folder
c) I can merge (a) and (b) and read all the files automatically, but since ram is continuously increasing, and at one point (sometimes 163, sometimes 169, or 170. files or something) it gives an error as "System.OutOfMemoryException". My ram is 4 GB and when I get this error the ram is increasing to more than 3 GB.
1- Could it be happen because of being eng files instead of regular txt files?[code]...

When I use to do some Delphi programming you were able to define variable as a target for a comma delimited file and then under that give variable names for each field to fall into. I forget the syntax now but it looked something like this...

My text file is a settings file and I know I will be adding more to it in the future, right now it reads "autoplay=false;mintray=false;"I am currently using probably the most inefficient way to check both of those settings:
if contents = "autoplay=false;mintray=false;" then
elseif contents = "autoplay=false;mintray=true;" then
elseif contents = "autoplay=true;mintray=false;" true
elseif contents = "autoplay=true;mintray=true;"
endif
How can I read the file, find each word from the equals sign to the semicolon, and store each of them in a variable identified by the text before the equals sign? Something like this:
contents = "autoplay=false;mintray=false;"
autoplay = "false"
mintray = "false"
Also, how can I edit the settings in the text file without having to overwrite everything every time I save to it? For instance; finding mintray in the text file, and changing mintray to true instead of overwriting the file with "autoplay=false;mintray=true;".

I'm using Visual Basic express 2008.The application I am working on is the first major project I have ever undertook with visual basics. The application is a launcher for a private server for world of warcraft.I have a menu bar that pulls the file path of the wow.exe and puts it in a hidden textbox, I then have another option that saves this text to c:wowexe.txt. All of this works GREAT!
How can I read the .txt file to end and return the information stored in the .txt file to this line of code.

RetVal = Shell("This is where I need the data from the .txt file to be seen", 1)
If your wondering why I don't just type in the path of the .exe, it's simple, not everyone installs World of Warcraft on the C drive.

I need to be able to read the last line of a text log file - a bit like the Unix 'tail -f'. I'm using FileSystemWatcher which works well. There's more to it than that and more complexity to the app, and I have everything working fine except this bit. I've tried googling for it but I can't get any of the examples work properly.

I need to read the second-to-last line of a very large log file.
I can't read the entire thing into memory, count lines, etc etc. I can't use Filestream.Setlength because that needs readwrite access and the log will be opened by another application. And it has to be fast. However, the line ends in a cr/lf meaning the last line is actually empty. Been struggling with this all day, and its hurting my head! Not good on a Friday!
I have a function that can read the last line but can't get it to go one line up. I can get it to read characters from the end of the line, but that's not much of a help with a variable length line!
Maybe fs SeekOrigin would work as it could run backwards looking at an example from MSDN - need to get the data before the last cr/lf and end at the next one... hmmm... problem is that that example also writes the text backwards as well.
I'm monitoring the log for particular entries for issues that are causing us grief at the moment.
