Read From A Text File And Stor As A Double Syntax Error
Feb 5, 2011
I'm a Year 12 student studying my HSC. I'm studying Software Design and Development (SDD) as one of the courses, via correspondence. As a part of SDD, we have to learn Visual Basic.NET 2008. I'm currently in the middle of my major project (20% of my final grade) which is due Sunday week. My entire program was all good to go until yesterday night when a classmate pointed out that the teacher might have modified the marking criteria or he was expecting this but it wasn't explicitly stated until last night [code]...
I'm not really sure how to word it, if it is possible, but part of my program reads from a text file. It then pulls out the necessary information needed from that file by finding key identifiers. Right now the code is written to find the first key identifier and then read each line after that, locating each subsequent identifier and pulling the data from it. In a few cases, the format examples I've worked with are a bit different which results in a runtime error. How can I tell the program to essentially skip that part of the text file if it's not reading it right and continue moving on? Here is somewhat of an example of the text file.
I got an text file that record data, and I need to read the data and do some comparisons. All data read will be showed in a form. If the data is fail, I need to show an alert to the user and wait for user to respond. If user responded to the alert, the program will continue to read data and do comparisons. The issue that I'm facing is that I don't know how to continue read file from the last read point.
I have a 'next' button which changes the questions when clicked. How do i make the questions keep changing to another question from a file with only 1 button when clicked and also display it on a label with 4 radio buttons with answers in vb. I always get an error " Cannot read from a closed text file "
I want to select some rows from a sql express 2005 table. I am using this expression: "Starttime >= " & dtpStart.Value dtpStart is a DateTimePicker But I am getting this error: Syntax error: Missing operand after '14' operator.
I'm making a part of my program that takes three inputs from the user and adds them then divides that number by three (the average of the three numbers). [code]...
I have a txt file that I need to read into a listview, but I need to read from a specific line in that file. Below is a sample of the txt file to read,
I have one combobox, two buttons (Add and View) and listbox. When I click button Add text from combobox is added to text file. This is code for Add button:
I am suddenly getting an into statement error and can not seem to figure out why When I try to update a .csv file I get: syntax erroe in INSERT INTO statement When I try an update a textfile I get: The INSERT INTO statement contains the following unknown field name: 'SellingPrice'. Make sure you have typed the name correctly, and try the operation again.
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.
I'm coming to end of a program I've been writing for quite some time now. In this program, I use text files to store/retrieve all the data I need for the program. I've save each file with text characters, with a file extension of .fad.
The problem is, how do I make it so when someone double clicks on one of my .fad files, it launches my program and opens that file?
how can I get my own icon to appear on my .fad files?
I'm trying to make a program that can read .mp3 data (Such as Artist, Album, Year, Track number, etc), but I need to be able to do two things that I have no clue how to do:
1. Read starting from a specified string (E.G, On one line it states: [code]
2. Read until a specified string (E.G, On the previously stated line,I need to read starting from what I said, up until.
Ok so I have a combo box that lists a set of names. What I want to do is match a selected name to a text file and read from it. The text file contains the same name and has grades listed below:
i have 5 textboxes in a form. I have a streamwriter that writes all of their text to on text file like this:
Code: Dim xfile As String = Application.StartupPath & "/Set.txt" If File.Exists(xfile) = True Then Dim writex As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(xfile)
[code]....
I was wondering how to get the text under the each number and place it in the corresponding textbox.
i am working on read line by line . At each line that my app read , i added a event . How do i read a text file till the end and Stop it? there is how it work :
I am trying to read a text file into a text box, and show the progress bar loading. Sometimes if the text file is big, i don't know when it will finish reading it. This is basically the code i use to read a text file, but i don't know how to show the progress bar.
I have a text file containing 10 pieces of information. I want to read the information from the text file and put it in text boxes on a form, so that the user can view the information and edit if required. What is the best way of approaching this?
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")
So far what i have is a button and a text box and when you press the button it my.computer.filesystem.readalltext(from this file as string) but what i want it to do is to read all the text in that file minus whatever is in parenthesis so like lets say the file has saved into it, hi my name is bob but my realname is (jeorge) that when you press the button it reads and shows everything in the file minus jeorge which is in parenthesis
im trying to have the user press a button and a window pops up to select a file. then it reads the file and puts it in a text box. how could i do this?
I a very large text document, I need to read some lines and at the end of each line, insert a text from the header of each page to he preceding lines.I have the following code the reads the file and displays it on a list box.Public Class Dialogs..[code]
I need to implement a routine to read a plain text file, BUT that file has a predefined format.The file format is as follows:
Quote:
<FILE_PROPERTIES> 'The "< >" also appears Propertie1="String" 'It's possible to have spaces after or before the "=" Propertie2="String" Propertie3="String" PropertieN="String"
[code]....
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):
i would like to ask is there anyway to read a txt file with UTF-8 encoding using streamreader or filestream. the txt file is contain some extended ASCII that makes me cannot read the characters properly. I hav tried Encoding.ASCII.GetString(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes()) but still it return wrong character when it's reading extended ASCII code.
I am writing a simple program that will encrypt the text that is held in a text box and save it to a text file but I want it to be able to open a text file and decrypt the contents.
Ok now all the threads I have read are about reading a text file that is in a preset location.
What I want to do is open a text file that the user selects and have the contents displayed in a text box.
