Reading Hex Values From A File?
Nov 7, 2010
I have a problem reading a file with hex values.
The values have this format: (2C 0A 0B 45 32 38)
I�ve tried two different ways to open the file. The first one, is storing in a variable of type string,
Dim srTrad As New System.IO.StreamReader(fichToOpen, System.Text.Encoding.ASCII, True)
sLine = srTrad.ReadLine()
so what I get is �2C0A0B453238�. Then I try to put them in pairs and reading as a HEX value, but I can�t. The only thing I get is the hex value of �2�, �C�, and so on. This is not what I�m looking for.
The second way is storing the values in a variable of type Byte:
Dim srByte As New IO.FileStream(fichToOpen, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
Dim br As New IO.BinaryReader(srByte)
Dim data As Byte() = br.ReadBytes(CInt(numBytes))
The result here, is pretty the same as before. For the pair �0A� what I get is either (30,41) or (48,65) (hex values or Dec). What I need isn�t to convert a char to its Hex value (I saw several examples for this on this forum). What I need is to know that 0A means 10 (0A is a hex value itself)

I am new to VB.NET and I am trying to read a line of data from a .csv file. For some reason the line of code below is returning "System.__ComObject", why? I verified that the cell contains "4/8/2011 9:20".

I am attempting to read a series of double prcision float values (x,y,z coordinates) from a binary file using the binary reader. Everything works fine except that when I read the number back it is different then the number that was written there (original file is generated by mining application).
written number : 78897.6476586
file contents hex : 40 F3 43 1A 5C CF 43 A4 this converts back to the same number as written using a IEE 754 conversion program. VB returned value : -5.45100266729248E-134 using .readDouble()
I have tried to step thru the file in one byte steps to make sure that I have the proper start position but that did not help any.

I've a got a homework assignment that chooses one of four values in a list box, stores it in a text file. Secondly, on the display click event it should access the text file, read the line, store it in a variable and then display the totals in a text box. Works sort of fine except that it doesn't display the totals correctly. Code for both buttons is below. The variable are assigned in the mainform (Tried also in the display button and didn't change anything). The save button works fine and stores fine in the text file, it's just the reading that's the problem.
Private Sub saveButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles saveButton.Click

I have a dictionary object (let's call it _do) I am using to cache some values for use in a multi-threaded program. I have a single controlling parent thread, with a timer function _doTimer() which can kick off child threads with a new instance of class MyThreadObject in each. My parent thread has _do as a property and with each time _doTimer() gets called, it may or may not repopulate _do depending on cacheflag settings. I pass a reference to _do to each instance of MyThreadObject and those threads at some point read the values of _do but DO NOT write to it.
What I want is to ensure that the child threads do not try and read _do whilst the parent thread is writing to it. Same thing but very slightly different -> I also don't want the parent thread to write to _do whilst the child threads are reading from it. However there is no problem with 1 child thread reading the values of _do at the same time as another child thread is reading the values - so ideally I do not want each child thread to completely lock out read access, only locking out Write access.. The code is roughly like this:

I want to read the values of the 8 neighboring cells in an image as shown on the attached file. For example, the green cell is the home cell and it has 8 neighbors (cells from 1 to 8 as seen on the attached image). It will read all 8 neighboring cells then it will move one cell to right (now pixel 4 will be home pixel). Again it will read its neighboring cell values and then it will move to next pixel etc. It will continue till to the end (the last cell or pixel of the image).

I am still trying to accomplish a tiny flatfile based database. So far everything works fine except for the fact that 'data records' are not sorted alphabetically. My 'data records' are saved in files and their filenames are used as ID. Now all the data are stored iin the files, so, my application reads out the values and adds them to the 'database'. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any way to sort this added data alphabetically by name - everything else works perfectly and I am almost finished, except for the sorting.

I need to read signed and unsigned 8 bit, 16 bit and 32 bit values from a file stream which may be little-endian or big-endian (it happens to be a tiff file which carries the byte order indicator at the start).I initially started by writing my own functions to read the values and was able to do so for unsigned values. e.g.
Public Function ReadUInt32() As UInt32
Dim b(4) As Byte
input.Read(b, 0, 4)
[code]....
But then I started looking at signed values and my brain broke.As an alternative, I found the IO.BinaryReader which will let me read signed values directly but doesn't seem to have any way to indicate that the data is big-endian or little-endian.Is there a nice way of handling this? Failing that, can someone tell me how to convert multiple bytes into signed values (in both byte orders)?

I have a button which reads a comma separated value file and loads it into a richtextbox. Each line contains comma separated chars.
Once the file is loaded in the richtextbox, i want to be able to select specific values from each line and store them into an array.
For example:
Line1: a,b,c,d,e
I want to be able to place only the values "b" and "c" into an array.
I was thinking something like creating a menu for the richtextbox which will be triggered on right click, then highlight the values I want, press right click and select 'place these values in an array'.
it doesn't have to be the way i proposed it, but it definitely must use a richtextbox.

I have a DEM file(Digital Elevattion Model File) and I am trying to open the file,where we have Latitude and Longitude values inside the DEM file.And, Now I have opened the file using Filestream and Read the file using BinaryReader.But, I am having a trobule in getting the values of Latitude and Longitude.I am getting Byte values randomly as 1,202,31,271 etc.But, we dont have latitude and longitude values more than 180,and also I am not getting 16 bit UInt values.For example, the values should be like Latitude 20.00416666666667 and Longitude 39.99583333333333.So,read the correct Byte values of the DEM file.The code I have used till now is:
Dim fs As FileStream = New FileStream("C:UsersadminDesktopHeader and DEM fileE020N40.DEM", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
Dim rd As New BinaryReader(fs)
Dim convertDB As UInt16
For i = 0 To rd.BaseStream.Length

lets say I have a form (form1) with lables a-z which are all designed with default text "0". So they all show 0 on program startup. which is fine. I also have a dialog with 2 TextBoxes; I want my program to update the default text/value on (only)form1 labels x, y and z to whatever was put into the textboxes when i press the OK button on the Dialog, so these specified labels show the 'new' value on next startup. Is it even possible or should I save the values to a file which loads the values in the specified labels on startup?

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 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?

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]
