How would i read a textfile that is in My.Resources and put the whole document in a textbox for the user to see?
I figured i would need a IO.StreamReader and a IO.StringReader but cant figure out too much what to do with these.
I figured i could create a loop until it has read to the end of the document but there is no check called HasLineAvailable or something.
I've got a csv text file "test.txt" in the following format with one record per line in the following format: Builder,Bob,B,99HappyStreet,Springtime,4
I've read them into an array and in design use the first two to populate a listbox and then use a selected index to fill text boxes and some list boxes.
ex. TextBox_FirstName.Text = Employees(ListBoxMain.SelectedIndex).FirstName
How do I write the changes made in the text fields back to the position in the file where it was? It has me stumped although I'm sure there is a SelectedIndex option that can work.
I've considered having all the new/changed data saved as a new record and then just deleting the 'old' entry but my delete code gives me a selectedindex-1 index out of range exception error that I'm working on as well. I am sure both problems are related.[cod]e...
The code below allows me to write a single line to a textfile. Id like to be able to open an entire textfile into a textbox, be able to edit said text and have it automatically write back to the same textfile.

Private myCoolFileLines() As String = Nothing '// String Array to read File Lines into.
Private sTemp As String = Nothing '// temp String to be used as needed.

I want read the content of the text file and write to vb.net application. My text file name is wires.txt. The above code only read and the file appear on the application. I dont want the file to be visible to the end user.
I have a program which reads data from a textfile line by line, but I would like to make some kind of update system and link the program to a website.
So how can I read a textfile from a website with streamreader?
I'm trying to place the contents of a text file (just a list of names) into a list box when the form loads.
My code currently looks like this:
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[Code].....
I can get the names into the list box, but they're all on one line. I thought about using a For...Next loop to read the contents of the text file, but I got into all sorts of trouble; do I need an array with that method? So I've got back to the code I originally had.
I am trying to make a program that can read each line of a textfile and print it into something else. So lets say i have a text file that has:

I have a form with 2 listboxes. I've added items in each listbox. I save all the items from each listbox to a text file. What I want to do is open the text file and I want each string inside the text file to go to the appropriate listbox. How can I make my program recognize where each string belongs?
View 16 RepliesI have my code it is able to read a text file and do checks each line if there are 7W and 5L in that particular line, if no matches it will remove that line... 1 problem i face now is that, there are duplicates in my textfile..Im not sure how am i going to remove the duplicate in the text file. I want to know if there is a way to integrate an additional function inside my code to check if that particular line is a duplicate so i can accomplish 2 tasks at 1 time... Since there are about close to 1million records in my text file.

I have this class:
Public Class ProxyHelper
Private Shared proxyQueue As New Queue(Of System.Net.WebProxy)()
' Just holds the number of times we've asked for a proxy.

This will ask for one proxy each time my webclient does something five times.
My webclient simply downloads some data and views it from a webpage over and over, and after 5 times you will get banned.
Question: How can I make the above code ask for a proxy from a textfile with one proxy on each line?
I will not have a browse function, the proxies.txt will always be in the app.dir
I have a txt document here that have certain word on it per line. How can I show it in different labels. I have 25 labels and have label name as followsword1,word2,word3,word4,word5 and so on up to word25. I want the word 1 label will show the first line of the text file and the second word2(label name) will show the second line of the textfile and so on up to the 25th line . Can it be done using loop?I tried but I dont know exactly how readline process works to identify certain lines you want to read and also I tried using the "i" variable to auto generate the name of my label but it did not work.

I would like to read this data into a datagrid , (2 Columns), edit it, and save it again.
I have multiple textbox,I want all of them to read whats inside a text file,but I dont want multiple text files,I just want one.
Here is my code that lets you read a whole text file.
vb.net
Dim FILE_NAME As String = "Directory"
If System.IO.File.Exists(FILE_NAME) = True Then
Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(FILE_NAME)

But I just want it to read certain lines For Example on textbox1 should only read the line <vote>texthere</vote> and so on,
What I am trying to do may be better for use with SQL Server but I have seen many applications in the past that simply work on text files and I am wanting to try to imitate the same behaviour that those applications follow. I have a list of URL's in a text file. This is simple enough to open and read line by line, but how can I store additional data from the file and query the data?
E.g.
Text File:
link1 - 0
link2 - 0
link3 - 1
link4 - 0
link5 - 1
Then I will read the data with:
Private Sub ButtonX2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ButtonX2.Click
OpenFileDialog1.Filter = "*txt Text Files|*.txt"
If OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
Dim AllText As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(OpenFileDialog1.FileName)
Dim Lines() = Split(AllText, vbCrLf)
[Code] .....
Am I going completely the wrong way about storing the data after importing from a text file?
I have a textfile I need to open and I need to put each line into the array. What is the simplest way to add the elements/each line's data into the array while increasing the array as it reads each line? This is blowing my mind right now..I thought about using a counter and then redim-ing the array (while preserving of course).

This is my first time using a list vs an array but I'm having a bit of trouble. I am trying to read a textfile into a list of song objects. I am reading the file successfully into the list however after the loop ends the program stops executing the load event and ignores the populateListBox() procedure. Any thoughts.

just another little problem here! Trying to write a quiz for a college portfolio and having trouble with writing to a .txt textfile. On one form(form4.vb), I have a listbox that picks up the information held within a notepad textfile called "usernames" which contains names of quiz users. When written in manually to this textfile, my listbox picks it up fine, however, on a different form(form3.vb), I have a textbox where a user inputs their name, this is supposed to go to the "usernames.txt" textfile to be picked up by the listbox on the other form but instead, it does not write anything at all and if there is already text on this textfile, it wipes it all out.I also have to use the application.startup path instead of the usual C:my documentents etc so i would have to begin with something like this: (Note: code is a little mixed up due to messing around with different variations but this is just a example)

After two days of looking I give up. The basic problem is that at the end of my program I need to be able to write out a text file and then read that same text file back in when the program restarts or reopens. The best and easiest way I have found to read in the file is to place the text file with in the Resources and use this code.
Dim ReadingIN As String = My.Resources.Mytext
So then I want to be able to change that string and then write it back out. Part of the problem is I want to be able to use this from a flash drive or a changing directory.
I have tried but it doesn't work
Dim WritingOut As String = ReadingIN + "Edited text"
Dim DirString As String = My.Resources.Mytext

when you have a textbox and you save the contents to a file : My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(SaveFileDialog1.FileName, TextBox1.Text, False, System.Text.Encoding.ASCII) and you open the file in notepad, you will see instead of multiple lines one long line and where the vbNewLine should be, a small square symbol.
the simple reason is: even if you write a vbNewLine or vbCrLf to your textbox, it will be reduced to vbLf so when writing the textbox.text to a textfile it only writes the vbLf where you would like to have a vbCrLf
so all you have to do is replace the vbLf with vbNewLine :
My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(SaveFileDialog1.FileName, Replace(TextBox1.Text, vbLf, vbNewLine), False, System.Text.Encoding.ASCII)
