Reading Sequential Files?
Mar 2, 2010
I am suppose to create a module level array name Product and populate a list box with the contents of a file (ItemInfo.txt) The file contains the Item ID and price of the item. (Line 1 is an item, Line 2 is a price for Line 1, Line 3 is an item, Line 4 is a price for Line 3, and so on.) The problem i'm having is when i populated the list box, I only wanted to populate the list box with the items, not everyline from the file. I guess I wanted to put elements [0], [2], [4], [6], and [8] from the Product array in the list box, but I am putting everything in there. What am I missing?here is my code so far:
' Name: Glovers Project
' Purpose: Displays the price of an item
' Programmer: <Paul J. Williams> on <February 27, 2010>

i am coding an application where I want to populate an array with the contents of a sequential file that is already populated as salary.txt in the debug folder. Basically, I want to copy the contents of that file to an array so that I may use a code to go with the intSubscript of the array. Right now it functions as just an array for this purpose, but I want to populate the array with the sequential file first. All attempts to do this, with stream writer etc and readline, I am just getting the first item in the file. I have tried to loop it and still only the first is accessable. Driving me batty, turning to the masses for guidence.[code]

I was wondering if anybody had heard of a library, preferably a .NET assembly, but Java will do as wel, that allows you to read the data in a Guitar Pro file (.gp3-gp4-gp5)I have this gigantor of a folder with about 50.000 song files, and would really love to write something that can actually archive all these files, for easier searching. And basic information like the tuning of the instruments in the song would be very useful parameters to retrieve from the file and add to the database.
I have searched the web but have yet to find anything like this, or a file definition for writing my own parser.

I'm creating a simple forms application where users can enter their details and save the information to a .ini file because I needed this for a simple game profile. I've tried to make it write "Name =" + txtname.Text but it won't work anymore. And as well as that, I don't think It will load the text back from the ini file.
Here's the code I used;
Public Class Form1
Dim hFile As Long
Dim sFilename As String
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[Code] .....
Form designer: [URL]
Form1.resk: [URL]
Form1.vb: [URL]

I have an XML file (see attached) that has numerous different sections/categories.What I'm looking for is advice on how to pick out the different levels/categories and display them one after the other, with the click of a button obviously. Much like you would/can with a recordset using ADO.

I am making a program that stores information for my applications. There are 4 main things I need in the XML file, the login information (User name and password), Application names and keys, and the owner of the application (who bought it). The program allows the user to enter as many applications and owners as they want and once login information is correct it loads the data. Then on exit all the data saves to a XML file.My XML file looks like this[code]....
Once I read all that the only thing I get is one application and no owners. How do I make it read all of the Apps then stop at the end of the Application Element?

seeing as '.dat' files contain only what you want them to and there is no preset encryption for them etc could I write data to one by using this simple process:
1) Change file extension to '.txt'
2) Decrypt
3) Write
4) Encrypt
5) Change file extension to '.dat'
and pretty much the same for reading it. or am I thinking to simply?
I thought of the above way as i know how to write to text files already, but is this the best way to do it? or is there a better way?
EDIT: Nevermind you just write to it like a text file and encrypt/decrypt it. request lock/delete from mod.

I am trying to create a bunch of records, there will be a limited number of "Codes", about 50. Each "Code" is associated with a name from a textbox, I was trying to have it save each one when you click a button, to a .txt file.So, from the start the record will be blank, the person will go through the form, choose a number from a numerical up and down box, pick a name associated with it (both of these are mandatory and not implied). When they click the button, it will save the contents I talked about into a .txt file, say the number is #2, and the name is "Bob", the next time they try to change that value for #2, it will overwrite "Bob".

I have been given the task of basically reading and writing to and from files. Below is the code from one sub:
If btnSaveRecipe.Enabled = True Then
FileName = "C:UsersLeylaDocumentsRecipe TaskRecipe.txt"
FileWriter = New IO.StreamWriter(FileName)
[code]....
I can't work out what i've done wrong, but when I open the file itself in the folder, it is empty.

I know I've asked this before and for some reason I can never remember how to do it. I need to loop thru a directory structure and for every *.txt file, I need to open it and read it. This is a little application that basically searches for a given string. How do I do this?
