View 4 RepliesIs there a way to handle quotes with a field in text tab delimited file example:"This program works "really" nicely and is helpful" my reading and understand thus far is that while the file is tab delimited fields can also begin and end with quotes. Therefore is a field contains a quote it gets interpreted as end of field.[code]
View 9 RepliesI'm trying to read a binary file from a FileMaker 11 container field using Filemaker's own ODBC driver. I was able to write files to the database and this works fine. retrieving them manually works fine and the files look OK and are not corupted. However when retreiving them using VB.NET, and if the file size is approx > 5MB, I get the following "uncatchable" error (yes thats right, I cant "Try Catch End Try", it just crashes):
System.AccessViolationException was unhandled
Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

I'm new to using CSV Files, and I've been looking around for a few hours now for a good example on them and no luck. This is what I have so far, which does work.[code]how to ignore commas within the file... for example lets stay Data Entry Guru entered 78 Main St, Apt 1 and the raw file reads ,"78 Main St, Apt 1",Anytown, CAI would like 78 Main St, Apt 1 to be one "field", Anytown another and CA another.
View 5 RepliesI am loading a dataset with a csv file.I remove the quotes around each field in the csv file and I am splitting each field wherever there is a comma:Dim fields() As String = lines(i).Split(","c) The problem is that some of the fields have a comma in the csv file (surrounded by double quotes).How do I replace those commas with a space to avoid problems when loading the dataset?
View 18 RepliesI'm sure this is a common problem but I have been unable to find a good solution anywhere.I am using line.Split to read a CSV file.Unfortunately the data contains strings that have comma's in them like so:
"Singer","Hasselhoff, David",21,15
This results in 5 strings:

I want to read a text file that has multiple lines and commas on every line, every comma represents a value, like an integer or boolean. here is an example
50, 100, 50, 50, True, "C:WINDOWSWhatever.jpg"
I want to read each individual line from the text file and read the values after the comma's.
So the first value would be a picturebox height, the value after the second comma would be the width, the value after the third would be the top, after that the left, and then stretch image, and the location of the image. How could I do this?
Here is a simpler version.
Height, Width, Top, Left, Stretch?, ImageLocation

I'm new to Comma Delimited values. What I'm trying to do is load up a text file which has employee info separated with commas
like 1/1/09, John Smith, (555) 555-5555, 101 S 1st Street and has numerous rows of info like this
so what I want it to do is just write this info to 4 different textboxes
like txtdate would just have all the dates of employees listed in rows or multilines
then another text box for names and so on.. Right now I just have it all being written to one text box.
I'm not sure how to separate all the information accordingly.

- Below code is in the LOAD form event.
- Within TMEMBERS table there is a TOTAMT field.
- Question is: What is the code to read TOTAMT field as I need to do some calculations as part of the LOAD event in this form. Not sure how as this was generated by the dataset wizard and not the tipical Dataset manual definitions.
'TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'DsMP.TMEMBERS' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.
Me.TMEMBERSTableAdapter.Fill(Me.DsMP.TMEMBERS)
- calculation lines will be here.
if this is in the wrong spot i believe this is the proper spot. anyways, i am using the code below to read a text file and then separate the line where it finds a :: - my problem is what if i have a line like:

I need to write data to a file, preferably in binary format, but I am unaccustomed with the concept. Where's the easiest place to get the basics? I could come here with a specific need, but I'm at the point right now where I am more willing to work within the confines of keeping it simple.
Here's what I know:
1. how to open a new file
2. how to specify the record length
3. how to close the file
Some specific questions:
Does the record length have to be constant throughout the file?
Can I read the nth record without reading the whole file?
I'm having another brain fart.
Code:
Private Sub txtDodgeExperience_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtDodgeExperience.TextChanged

View 3 RepliesI have a comma separated file that has commas in the data, so using Split() doesn't work. I tried to use Jet 4.0, but a column has text and numeric data in it, so half of the values return null. After researching for hours and getting nowhere I attempted to write my own split function that checks for quotes so it can skip past the extra commas in the line. I fiddled with it for a few hours and got it almost running. [Code]

View 2 Replieslook at this code and see how i can speed it up? Its calling a sub to count commas in long string.Calling part 'Sort the incomming messages Dim count_Coma As Integer = CountCharacter(_InMessToAction, ","c)
The sub. This takes about 0.7 of a second to count 20 commas in string _InMessToAction. Was hoping to get it down to 0.1... if at all possible.
