I have to read each line and assign the value to the variable in vb.net. for example i will declare tend, t_exposure, T_hfg, Tem, Heatflux as single in vb.net. Then I should read the file and assign

View 1 RepliesI've been trying to fix this problem for days, but I haven't been able to successfully apply any of the code that I've found to my project the way it is right now. Maybe I'll need to change the way it reads the file altogether.
Anyway, I'm trying to read through a text file line by line, reading each line into its own string.
Tell me older versions of these commands to be used with .NET 1.1?
The pieces of code I am using are:
For reading a text file to a string-
Dim str As String
'reading the content of the file "test.txt" and storing it in the declared variable

How do I read all the text from a text file and save it as a string variable? For some reason I remembered it being something like this: IO.FromFile.ReadAllText("path") but thats not it.
View 3 RepliesTrying to read in three variables per line from a text file that looks similar to the first code segment. What we've been taught so far to read in is something similar to the second segment. And it works all and good for single words per line.
If this was C++ I'm pretty sure I could getline and use the comma as a terminator, but I'm not sure if a similar function exists for VB.

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:

View 2 Repliesi'm working in VB.net to create a program that checks the text in a remote text/html file against a local text file, and if the do not match, the program then does something. I keep getting an exception and i can't figure it out.
Here are the details of the exception:[code...]
I'm not at all used to working in VB, and i'm not sure if i did that HTML right either, so that could be the problem.
I am not sure if this makes sense or not, but I need to process raw text (without any encoding?) that I retrieved from a file recovery application "PhotoRec".With an application like Notepad++ I can see all of the text I need to manipulate but with VB I seem to only get some of the text with other stuff stripped out.[code]I essentially add each line of text to the collection so I can read each line at a time (other processing, etc.)So, as mentioned, with the above code I get text but not all of it. With different encodings I get different versions of the text represented in "current byte". So, how can my .NET application read text like Notepad++ or a similar "raw" text reader app?

I'd like to save data to a text file on a remote server I have. There are no security issues here, just the method.
Dim FILE_NAME As String = "123.456.789.012/variables.txt"
If System.IO.File.Exists(FILE_NAME) = True Then
Dim objWriter As New System.IO.StreamWriter(FILE_NAME)
[Code].....
I know it's not the most secure way of doing things, but the end data has to be in the txt format, otherwise I'd have used MySQL.
I've been writing a weight program for flooded pressure vessels and I'm having trouble retrieving the data from the text files I've been saving. I know how to write the data to the text file, but retrieving it with OpenFileDialog is not so easy for me.The user has individual text boxes that they input strings or numbers into and when they save the file, each text box input is written to one line in the text file. For example, the first text box is for the username, therefore the first line of text that is saved is the person's name, the second text box is the customer, thus the second line in the text file is the customer name, and so on.
(Actually, the first line of text in the saved file designates whether English units were used or Metric units because when the user retrieves the saved file, English units will open one form and Metric units will open a separate form, so some If...Then statement will need to occur).I need to be able to read the first line, have either my "EnglishForm"form open or my "MetricForm" form open, and then have each subsequent line of text be displayed in their corresponding text boxes. I know I need to use ReadLine or LineInput, but I don't have a clue what to do.Assuming the syntax I've displayed below would just magically work (if only life were that easy), it would look something like this
If FirstLineOfTextInFile = "English" Then
EnglishForm.Show()
ElseIf FirstLineOfTextInFile = "Metric" Then[code]....
And so on...I read a lot of articles from the MSDN library and exhausted each link that I've looked through from Google and Bing, but most only retrieve data from the file to a single text box through some loop or streamreader and don't take into account multiple forms.
I'm trying to read a text file that contains info like this:
ACX-101-011 , J2168
BTXR-130A-013, D6733
AJ4-233-614, T8211
I want to split each line at the comma and write the left side to a textbox and the the right side to another textbox. I'm close, with the code below, but I can only post results from the first line in the file. How do I loop this and append the text results in each of the textboxes.
Dim TempFile As String
TempFile = "temp.txt"
Dim sw As StreamWriter

I seem to be having a problem with the Format() Function. I am trying to format a string of text from a variable so that it uses commas as thousand separators, but I can't seem to get it working properly. Here's what I'm using:
Dim testVar As String
testVar = "10000"
testVar = Format$(testVar,
When I use this code, it changes the variable's value to The strange thing is, it works fine if I use a number instead of the Variable. It also works fine if I use a "predefined numeric format" instead of my custom one. For example, if I use:
testVar = Format$(testVar, "Standard")it works just fine, but that's not what I want (otherwise I'd just do it this way.) It also works fine when I do this:
testVar = Format$(10000, And, although in the example code I've written here, it seems like I could just do it this way, in my actual program, I can't. I have to set it dynamically with the variable.
So it seems like both portions of my Format() Function are working, but just not together, and I can't seem to figure out why. anyone shed some light on this for me and tell me what I'm doing wrong? From every example I can find on the internet about using this function with a variable, I'm doing it correctly, but mine isn't working.
i have a number in this format: 123 and I want a select statement such as below for comparsion so i dont have as many if statements:
Select case numbers(i)
case is = "123"
case is = "234"
example but in real scenario numbers are random.
Heres my code in which all select cases dont get fired:
Public Function UserAdd() As String
On Error GoTo Errorhandler
Dim personcount As Integer
[Code]....
But the case is statements above dont fire when I know that number is correct above

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to do a project which involves reading the text from a number of textboxes and putting it into a string.I'm just wondering if there's an easier way to it other than:
CreateString += TextBox1.Text + TextBox2.Text + TextBox3.Text... (etc)
I have thought about creating a For Next loop which would go something like:
For i As Integer = 0 To intNoTextBoxes
CreateString += TextBox(i).Text
Next
But this really doesn't work. I also found something saying that something similar to this would work:
For i As Integer = 0 To intNoTextBoxes
CreateString += Me.Controls.Item("TextBox" & i.ToString).Text
Next
But that didn't work either.

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]
