I'm trying to create a program that stores a users stats for their character (for something like an RPG). I know how to write more than one line in a text file, but I want to learn how to read and write text on specific lines of my file. I know that you can just read each new line individually in order using a StreamReader, such as
This is good for just displaying the stats and changing them from a constant interface, but I'm afraid that eventually I'll need to read/write specific lines, like reading the fourth line which might specify magic level, or writing a new money amount.
I'm writing a program where there are text boxes and the user can enter info and append them to a text file as well as read from the text file and view the various entries in it. The problems I'm running into are that I have a button that opens an open file dialog box allowing you to select the file, and I want to get it to open the first entry of that file in the correct text boxes. the code so far looks like this
code:
I used to have this bit of code in there but there was a conflict with the .txt file being used more than once at the same time while it was in there.
code:
Im also having trouble writing to the file and I'm not sure why. I have an "Append" button that has this code in it
code:
and it comes up with the issue "object reference not set to to an object instance".
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.
I want to create a little program with textboxes in it, that writes the contents of these textboxes to a file. It also needs to write some predefined lines to the files, even on the same line as where the contents of the textbox is.
Heres an example: The file should look like this when you open it in notepad: ^1:: Send t Text from TextBox {Enter}
First I think I would need to do this: Dim ioFile As New StreamWriter("scripting.ahk") ioFile.WriteLine("^1::") If I do the above it works.. But how can I write another line where the "Send t" and "{Enter}" gets written automaticly before and after the contents from the Textbox?
I am using the following code to write lines to a file. I seem to get Zero's after my text.Any suggestions to get the trailing zeros out of my text file? [code]
How would a person read a line of a text file by the number of the line. In other words, if I wanted to get the 3rd line of the file, how could I store that third line in a variable. While I'm at it, I might as well also ask how to do the opposite, or write text to a specific line (in this case, writing over the other information on the chosen line).
I am trying to read a specific line from a text file and for some reason when I set my variable loopCounter = 1 To 5 it jumps all the way down to the word "Marty" in my text file but if I just change loopCounter = 0 To 5 it jumps to where it should be which is the letter "M" right after "25". I'm trying to get it to read "25". as this is an assignment for a VB class I'm taking. My text file is at the bottom.
Do While readFile.Peek > -1 For loopCounter = 1 To 5 readFile.ReadLine()
I am making a vb.net app and I need to know how to overight onto a specific line in a text file. For example:[code]Now, I want to completely overight the "B" to an "A" and the line I need to write on is "2" also, my application will produce dynamic text files as well so I wont always be able to know what line exactly to overight. So my question is, how do I write to a line when I know what line it is and how do I search for a specific line and overight that.
I have 2 text files that are formatted in standard XML One of them contains some lines that need to be copied to the other. What i am trying to do is search through the first file until i see the string "<Segment" then copy all lines into a rich text box up until the string "<segment/>" I Then want to look through the other file until i find the string "<Jointfree/>" then copy the contents of the rich text box to underneath the Jointfree String I Also need to search the second file until i find the string "<Markers/>" and then paste some text into the line above the markers tag.
I'm using visual basic 2008 express to do some simple stuff. For this project, Im reading in one large text file.The top of each page has a header section that is always the same, except sometimes a dept# changes, signifying a new set of data.The first line always has the text "RunDate", so when I read that, I know that I'm at the top of the first page.After reading the first line, I'd like to immediately go to the sixth line and grab that dept# and store it.dept = left(trim(myline,7)(Its always 7 characters long) so I know what dept I'm working on.I'll then loop through and write each line to a new text file, until I hit the top of a new page.At that point I need to look at line 6 again. if the dept # is the same, I'll keep writing to the same file.Reading and re-writing from the text files is easy, I just loop through line by line, but I need to be able to jump down to the 6th line, and I don't know how to do that without reading each line to that point"
The program that I am writing has three default variables that I would like it to store and also be able to change. I have them in a text file called "settings.txt" The format of the text file is as follows:
The field descriptions eg "Default Source" take up 30 characters, so the variable data starts with character 30. I know their has to be an easy way just to pull out the data from a particular line starting with character 30 but I can't find it.
Their is a problem whenever I want to write something to a text file. Please see the attatchement to see what happens when I'm debugging. I've put the code for writing to file right at the end of the program.Here is some of the code which shows how the program writes to and reads from the file:
Option Explicit On 'Force all variables to be declared. Imports System.IO
I have just recently been using VB 2010 after using VB5. I have noticed a lot of changes. The problem I have is that I wish to open and save text files to and from arrays in the background. I've attached what I would do in VB5. I have searched around, but all the examples I find use a Textbox instead of an array. Can anyone show me how I can do this with VB 2010?
This is my code: Dim lngLines As String Dim sr As New StreamReader(opdFileAudio.FileName) While Not sr.EndOfStream lngLines = sr.ReadLine If lngLines.Contains("x") Then lngLines = sr.ReadLine [Code] .....
At the moment I want to read all lines in text file to a list box but I don't add strings x, and string y to listbox, and looping in. lngLines.Contains("y")
reading a text file into an array after a certain line in the text file, at the moment i am trying to do it using the method below: but i am having trouble thinking about how i can copy everyother line and also how i can count through the array the i = 0 and i = i + 1 are there while "i".
In a line what i would like to do:I need to copy everyother line for a known amount of lines that appears after the line " I FT I KT I " in a text file, but i do not know the position of this first line in the file.
Dim lines() As String = File.ReadAllLines(sessionsPath$ & "vmcg.afm") For Each inline As String In lines If inline.Contains(" I FT I KT I ") Then
I am working on an app now, and I need it to read text from a .txt file, but there's more. Here's what I want it to do:
Dim text as string Find "file.txt" text = line1 in txt file Do something text = line2 in txt file Do something text = line3 in txt file Do something
And so on, until there are no more lines to read. I have searched, but all that I have found requires you to preprogram the amount of lines in the .txt file. I want to be able to add lines later without having to go into the code and add more.
I am new to ASP.Net and am trying to set up some content pages to work with my master page.I currently have the following text hardcoded into an asp:contentplaceholder and it works just fine. I want to read lines in from a text file to produce those headlines and retain the current formatting. I tried using the tag i need each line as a separate tag. Below is the code in the content place holder. Id like to have this done in the Page_Load or the pre Init.[code]
I want to put a function that reads a text file and put it in textbox1. I used this code to read the last line Textbox1.text = Io.file.readalllines("C:c.txt").last but I want it to read the third line.
I have a program that will read a text file and put information from the text file into multiple text boxes. What I am trying to do now is be able to change the values in the textboxes and be able to write the specifc changes back to the text file. One way I though of doing that was using a while loop and copy the lines of the text file to another text file, then when it finds the line that has the specific change from the text box, make the change and continue writing the line until it reaches the end of the file. Then I was going to copy the file and overwrite the original, escientally making the change to the new file. Right now it will make the new file but will just make a blank text file. I think the problem is in the while loop statement but I am not sure. Here is the code below:
Code: Private Sub submitButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles submitButton.Click Dim trackname As String
I'm new here and I'm trying to make a little program with Visual Basic (2010 Express Edition).The purpose of this program is:
1) Load the text file lines and split them into a constant and a value
2) Edit the text file lines values
The content of the text file is like this:
[Code]...
This basically split every lines in two parts: the constant ("Name", "Surname", "Age", "Hair") and the values ("Mario", "Rossi", "50", "Black").Now about the second point, I've added a Button1 which should take the Textbox1/2.Text and the Combobox1 selected item and replace the values(aka separator(1)) in the text file. The problem is I don't have any idea at the moment how to do it. What method should I use?
(First off all hi to everyone my first post!) Ok, i have two programs one program writes to a text file on a consistent basis, while the second program is opening this text file on a consistent basis for reading.. Sometimes the programs are accessing the file at the same time and the user keeps getting this error : this process cannot access the file because its already in use..
Is there any class, in system.io that i can use to modify the settings of this text file so both programs can access it at the same time?
I would like to know how to write to a text file that is added to resources and then have it show the contents in a text box.But I would like to have it on a timer so every second it will refresh as I am trying to make an instant chat program.Also I would like to note that I want it to delete everything after all the users have closed the program. Is there any way to make it so the text file is empty when there is no body using the program any more?
Public Class Form1 Private Sub btnSend_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSend.Click
I am in the process (slow process) if learning vb.net by trying to create a simple application that will read and write (save) chosen information to a text file. The application has text boxes (name, email address, etc) and I want to read information from certain lines in the text and place in the given text box.[code]When I start debugging mode it does not display the text until I click onto the text box and it's displaying the first line of text in the file. How do I skip the first line of text and have it display the second line (or the 6th, 24, or whatever line I need to be displayed)?Then I can start working on learning to use streamwriter
