I have an application that telnets into a server and we ping a bunch of IPs. What Im needing to do is it will automatically ping it like "ping iphere" the output looks like "64 bytes from machine&hostnamehere (iphere ): icmp_seq=0 ttl=121 time=60 ms. What Im needing to know is how I can read those lines then if it "iphere" matches the pinged ip it will update my txt file.

One thing is if it doesnt ping it doesn't say anything its just empty space.
View 4 RepliesI have this application that I need to read a text file.
I have designed a form which has a play button and when the play button is called it is supposed to read a text file which has being created using an external application..
I wrote a code that calls the application but I dont know how to pass the text file into the application.
I also dont want the application popping up.
line of code that calls the application ---- Process.Start("C:Program FilesDECtalkUSsay.exe")
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

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 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.
View 9 RepliesI'm a little new to VB, and I'm in a class for it, but I'm trying to do something we aren't going to learn in the class (mostly out of sheer interest) and I need help. I'm trying to read lines from a text file into a listbox, each line representing a new item on the listbox. For example, if the text file reads: [code]I want to be able to take that as is and read it into a listbox, where those words would appear in the exact same fashion; as a list, each as separate items. I've looked at the Help stuff and learned (sorta) about delimiters... but the thing is I don't want to write my entire list in a continuous line separated by commas--I want it to keep reading each line, and moving on to the next, until there are no more lines left. I am thoroughly stumped, and would appreciate it SO much if someone could help. For a frame of reference, this is the point I'm at now with my code: [code]Note that when I run the program, all it will do is read the first line of text available and stop; once I press ENTER in a text file, it decides to stop reading.

I have searched on google for nearly an hour now and haven't found anything of any real use. One of the earlier projects we submitted used a similar target, and I managed to get it working fine, however I dont have the original source code with me and I cannot remember how I did it.
I believe I used a Net.WebRequest method of some sort, because I had tried using StreamReader and ended up with an URI error or something like that.
A couple of months ago, before I started learning C++, I made an application in VB.net that reads memory from an external program. This could be anything, from notepad to windows media player etc. I have been trying to find a way to do the exact same thing in C++, but to my suprise I can't find anything straightforward on the subject. All google comes up with is threads on several forums, where the general response is "Windows doesn't allow you to read from memory you do not own". But if it works in VB.net, it can work in C++ too.

im just wondering is it possible to do this easily as im not great at VB I have a simple webbrowser open when i click a menu item, and when it loads it goes to a text page on a online server i have (ends in .txt) which just has some text on, is it possible for me to add a button which when i press it, it searches the page for a certain number/word, then opens a message box with some text in relation to the number/text, or is this not possible with a webpage.
View 6 RepliesI have created a program which should perform a certain action whenever a certain group of keys is pressed at the same time. The program must be able to run in the background, or in the system tray or something. Essentially, this should work like the KeyDown event on a form, except the form in this case is everything.
I'm not certain if there is a way to do this directly from within the .net API, but if there is I certainly have not found it.

What I am trying to do is I have a .dat file that I cannot read but can at the same time. What I mean is I know how to decipher it by hand (alas takes minutes per 6 parts and there are thousands.) I am trying to make an application that can read this and allow me to edit it from my computer. I can open this with a hex program such as hex editor neo. I am currently trying to get it so I can read the file and have it place corresponding parts in to text boxes that I can alter to suit my needs.
I am new to visual basic and know a tiny bit about C++ if you think I would be better off trying in C# I can try that as well I do know some since learning c++. There are 41 parts to each item listed in the file and each one would need to go in its own text box. In hex there are 348 blocks that need to be arranged in corresponding order. Also the beginning of the file has 6 block followed by a code for each item. I need to find a way to put all the correct code in the correct text box and have it make sense.
To read a file i am using the following New to VB and I'm sure this is a basic question.To read a file I am currently using:
Dim fileReader As String
fileReader = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("C: emp est.txt")
MsgBox(fileReader)
It works fine but I would rather it just open the text file itself, how do I do this?I currently use this code for writing files and would like it similar for reading:
Dim owrite As System.IO.StreamWriter = System.IO.File.WriteText("c: emp est.txt")
owrite.WriteLine("TEST")
owrite.Close()

Okay so I am very new to visual basic I am currently using VB 2010 I know that this is not the correct forum but I figured it was the closest to it since there is no VB 2010.Anyways I am making a program for my Dad's company that can keep track of inventory so I need to store the info in a .txt and load it up etc. I currently am using a stream writer to write to the text and I got that down pat I am just having troubles loading it back up and putting the info in specific text boxes aka sorting or parsing? the information. I have looked at several tutorials and the problem is that I just simply don't know what I am looking at I've been tinkering with it for a couple hours now with no luck so I hope you guys could help me out .
Here is my current code. It is kind of useless because I have tried so many methods I thought maybe I could use a ReadAll function have it go to a string and parse from there hoping it would have been easier but it has not worked out for me so far.
