I am trying to open a text delimited database using the jet.OLEDB.4.0 driver. My connection string is as shown here:
Dim sConnectionString As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;
Data Source=" & dataDir & ";
Extended Properties=""text;FMT=Delimited( )"";"
I have read that you either need to alter the registry, or to add a schema.ini file containing information about the delimiter in order to recognize the delimiter. My question is if there is any way to do this without altering the registry or adding a schema.ini file, as both of these are unfortunately not an option. The only solution I currently see is to split each row, is this the only way out.
i'm currently a student in a local polytechnic school, i was tasked to create a program that consisted in 3 parts which will bind together once it is done.at the moment, i have done the first part which is embedding video player into VB.now for the second part is that i'm stuck with, i need my VB to "read a text file which is space delimited and write into a access database" now my program is stuck at this and i do not know how to continue. i have been looking at alot of website for guide and codes but non are working.
Imports System.IO Imports System.Data Imports System.Xml Public Class Form1
I am having some trouble including tab and space delimiters in my multiple delimiter code (see code below). It seems I can not just add the <vbtab> and <vbCrLf> codes into my delimiters list so I tried to replace them beforehand with a Clean String Function (also see code below) but it didn't seem to work. Ultimately, I would like to add any delimited text file to my datagridview.
The code below is working fine except for tabs and spaces (including next-to-each-other separators) I am using Visual Basics Express 2008.[code...]
I have been able to load a drop down meny with a file, but the file is comma delimited. I tried to use the split function to only read the first part of the file before the comma, but I'm getting an erroHere's what I'm doing:
Dim Arts As New IO.StreamReader(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory & _ "Artist.txt") Do Until Arts.EndOfStream
Is there a set function in vb.net that allows you to read a delimited file with text qualifiers? In the past I have used the split command but that does not allow you to take into account the text qualifiers.
I need to be able to read common delimited text that the user enters into a text box. For example the text box would look like this:1,200,02,200,04,120,1203,200,120I need to be able to read the lines and put the data into a multi-dimension array with all the first values in column 1, all the second values in column 2, and all the thrid values in column 3.
I'm busy with an applicaton which reads space delimited log files ranging from 5mb to 1gb+ in size, then stores this information to a MySQL database for later use when printing reports based upon the information contained in the files. The methods I've tried / found work but are very slow.
or is there a better way to handle very large text files?
I've tried using textfieldparser as follows:
Using parser As New TextFieldParser("C:logfiles estfile.txt") parser.TextFieldType = FieldType.Delimited parser.CommentTokens = New String() {"#"}
How would i get a certain text inside a textbox to equal that text space to space or null to space?
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click If Textbox1.Text.StartsWith(Textbox2.Text + " ") And Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(Textbox2.Text) Then Textbox1.Text = Textbox1.Text.Remove(0, Textbox2.TextLength) Textbox3.AppendText("a") End If
Btw: after i finish this step my project will be finished!
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 used this code for getting data from delimited text file into access database in VB6 and it is running Perfectly Same thing i want in VB.NET using OLEDB. So can anyone suggest me what code should i use..?
Other info: Database = mydatabase.mdb Table Name = SUBSCRIBER 4 Columns = NAME,AGE,GENDER,ID Text File = temp.txt
I am working with a database that is used for managing program requirements ie text fields of varying lengths. The database program is capable of exporting data out in the form of tab and comma delimited files. I would like to see an example in vb.net 2003 of how I might be able to loop thru an entire delimited text file line by line isolating each tab delimited field to say a text box or a string variable.My ultimate goal is to be able to write this delimited data to a special spreadsheet application capable of dealing with text block sizes beyond the capability of Excel. So now I am interested in how to manipulate huge delimited text files in vb.net 03.
I'm attempting to read from a comma delimited file, the values are put into a structure (employeerecords) i want to know how i can access the separate sections of this structure i will provide my code so far, i apologize for the comments I'm making sure i know whats going on, I'm new to this, the code currently just dumps the whole file into a textbox, i would like to be able to access and manipulate the individual fields but i am at a genuine loss.[code]
So I've been using VS2010 and haven't had too many problems transitioning over but I have an issue at the moment and I can't seem to find the answer...I have been using a little piece of code to insert comma delimited files to a database, which works great.Today, I received a Tab Delimited file from a client....obv I could edit, replace tabs with commas and move on but I want to know the right way to do this so I feel accomplished I've tried two ways so far1. This is the code I use for comma delimited with a slight change for the tabs -- PF refers to a class module that has the functions I use to get files and parse file paths
Dim Conn as New ADODB.RecordSet PF.InputFile = PF.GetFile("Select LMR Demo File", "") conn.Execute("SELECT * INTO [tmp_lmr] FROM [Text;Database=" & PF.InitLoc &
I want to read a tab delimited file so i set up a data reader with the following connection string: [Code] However when I do this it doesn't seem to delimiter at the tab characters (I cannot work out why it is breaking up the data where it is). the first few lines of the csv are in the attached "dbamstr.txt" - the select statement I am running is: "SELECT * FROM dbamstr.txt".
i have a stream reader reading a csv comma delimited file, its skipping every second line though if i edit the file and enter blank lines in between, it reads them correctly
i have maid a simple login system in vb.net here is my current code
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click If TextBox1.Text = "http://mywebsite.com/usernames.txt" Then Form2.Show() Me.Hide()
I am reading data from the database with SQLCommand object SQLReader, all I want to know is I want to read a specific row from my column myData...e.g.I want to read row 11 or random row from mycolumn, what is the correct syntax I am reading all the data(rows) from mycolumn with the command
"SELECT mycolumn from Table1"
what is the syntax to read the 11 or any row of this column?
I need to be able to select a title from a listbox (lstBooks) and I need the data from a comma delimited text file (books.txt) to flow into a form (frmDetails)when I click the UpdateToolStripMenu button. Program is attached.

I am using VS 2010 and I want to read the Text File values and place them into variables. This is my code Me.OpenFileDialog1.FileName = Nothing If Me.OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then Me.TextBox2.Text = Me.OpenFileDialog1.FileName filename = Me.TextBox2.Text End If [Code] ..... I am unable to move pointer to next line.
I have a text file with ";" as a delimter but I am not able to seperate the text, I am able to read one line at a time using ReadLine Function but I can not find a way to separate columns from this line.
I'm trying to parse a text file. First I plan on extrcating each line, then extracting each field by searching for a tasb.When I use InStr to search for a (return for end of line) or (for tab) I always get a zero. But if I put in a visable letter such as a I got a 5.also I tried /r, /n and all return a zero.The file looks as follows:
