I am working on a project in VB 2008 and need it to do this:Read first line from text file (using Openfile)Enter line into textbox on formDo some other codeThen Read second linefrom text fileEnter line into same text boxand loop until we have gone through text fileI am not sure how to read line by line from text file then enter it in textbox. I can open the Openfile and get the filename and everything, but I just am not sure how to read from it or enter that line into the textbox.Here is what I have, its not much but its a start:
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim FileReader As StreamReader

I need to write data to a file, preferably in binary format, but I am unaccustomed with the concept. Where's the easiest place to get the basics? I could come here with a specific need, but I'm at the point right now where I am more willing to work within the confines of keeping it simple.
Here's what I know:
1. how to open a new file
2. how to specify the record length
3. how to close the file
Some specific questions:
Does the record length have to be constant throughout the file?
Can I read the nth record without reading the whole file?
I want to be able to able to read the dimensions of a TIF image without loading the entire file.

I want to perform two hashing operations concurrently on a single file, without reading the file twice. Is there some way to share the FileStream between two synchronized hashing threads? For example:
Dim Stream As New IO.FileStream("...", IO.FileMode.Open)
Dim HashA, HashB As Byte()
Dim A = New System.Threading.Thread(Sub()
[code]....
Maybe some way of caching a stream? Trouble is, I don't want the entire file in memory at once (it could be many gigabytes in size) and I don't want the file read more than once, due to speed issues. I want the file cached only sufficiently to ensure that both threads can work.For example, suppose at some point in time, thread A had read 100k of the file, but thread B had only read 20k of the file. The portion of the file between 20k and 100k should be cached; but then progressively forgotten as thread B catches up. Then again, if thread B is too slow, we might still end up with hundreds of megabytes being cached.Maybe thread A should be made to wait while thread B catches up. Maybe the ReadByte() function of the stream should block for a while if one of the threads is too far behind?
I have a checked list box that is populated with the text from a text file. I started off with this code:

friend of mine has no HTML knowledge so I'm attempting to write a program that replaces certain parts of a html file to suit his needs.I've edited the HTML file and marked certain parts with "tags" like this:
#IMAGEURL1# I have a textbox where he can copy + paste an image URL and hopefully the #IMAGEURL1# is replaced with the contents of the textbox.
So can someone please enlighten me to-as how to open a HTML file (there's no textbox to display the contents just yet, I'll add one if needed), find the specified text and then replace it with whats in a textbox.
I am trying to import a TAB (NOt comma) delimited text file into a DataGridView. The following code works fine if I have a comma separated file. All I have to do is change the FMT to "Delimited".It just does not work with FMT=TabDelimited. All columns are read into single datatable column. The text file is ANSI text and I have double checked to make sure Tabs are tabs and not spaces, even exported a sample Tab Delimited file from Excel.Can this even be done using Text Driver? [code]

I have just recently been using VB 2010 after using VB5. I have noticed a lot of changes. The problem I have is that I wish to open and save text files to and from arrays in the background. I've attached what I would do in VB5. I have searched around, but all the examples I find use a Textbox instead of an array. Can anyone show me how I can do this with VB 2010?

I am in the process (slow process) if learning vb.net by trying to create a simple application that will read and write (save) chosen information to a text file. The application has text boxes (name, email address, etc) and I want to read information from certain lines in the text and place in the given text box.
Code:
Dim StreamToDisplay As StreamReader
StreamToDisplay = New StreamReader("C: esting estfile.txt")
TextBox1.Text = StreamToDisplay.ReadLine()
StreamToDisplay.Close()
Currently it's reading the first line of text (which is "[username]").
Text file (testfile.txt) is attached
I have read a log file which is being used by a process. I could open the file in notepad or similar applications. The log file is not written by my application.

Basically I'm grabbing the RSS feed from the web [URL] currently just a test search for iPod touch being sold in Greenville, SC) and saving it as an XML file to the HDD temporarily to be read with a stream reader.

I'm working with VB.NET 2003 on Windows XP.I'm trying to read in from a text file and populate a listbox with the data. Below is my code:

This code never populates the listbox and then on top of that it erases everything in the text file. What am i doing wrong?

I have a vb.net POS application which creates a CSV file (three actually) to store data for later import into a database. All is working well with that part. Details and what I would like to do now follows: A single row of data in one of these files looks like this:
11/4/2009 1:57:50 PM,fg5,1234,21.00,21,0,0,0,0,21.00,12345
There are 11, I will call them columns, in each row, with varying number of rows each day. I need to extract only the information in column 10 from each row and total these numbers. I could do this with a FileOpen(1, <fullpathtofilename>, OpenMode.Input) and an input(1,<variablename>(i)) for each row in a FOR loop. This seems to be cumbersome and a waste of resources especially when the file is very large. Is there a easier, shorter, better, faster (use your own expeditious adjective here) way of doing this? Is there a way to read only the 10th item in each row and for how ever many rows there are? Something like this maybe:
Dim i As Integer
Dim Total as Double
i = 0

I am making a browser in vb which can import IE favourites. Here is my code so far:
Dim favespath As String = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Favorites)
Dim info As New IO.DirectoryInfo(favespath)
For Each fi In info.GetFiles
[code]....
But my code returns a load of HTML instead of the target of the .url file.
The way this file works is there is a null buffer, then a user check sum then a byte that gives you the user name letter count, then a byte for how many bytes to skip to the next user and a byte for which user file the user keeps their settings in.
the loop with the usersm variable in the IF statement sets up the whole file stream for extraction. However with almost the exact same code the else clause specifically the str.Read(xnl, 0, usn - 1) in the else code appears to be reading the very beginning of the file despite the position of the filestream being set earlier?
this is in vb2005
Private Sub readusersdata(ByVal userdatafile As String)
ListView1.BeginUpdate()
ListView1.Items.Clear()
Using snxl As IO.Stream = IO.File.Open(userdatafile, IO.FileMode.Open)
