Reading A Large File Line By Line?
Aug 15, 2011
I have a data file which I am de-compressing and then reading line by line.This includes data which is then read by my function which is split into sperate bits then inserted into a database.My reader is currently taking ages. (largest file being 1.8GB)I am using:
Code:
' File exists, read file.
Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(fileName)[code]....
Is there a quicker way to do this? And possibly a progress bar to show how far it is through the file?

How would i go about reading a file Line by Line that within that line The values are delimited by " Example of the data:
"bob" "cat" "1243"
"steve" dog" "6789"
I've started this with this code but not sure how to go about the next stage:
Using MyReader As New _
Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "Records28112011.jd")
MyReader.TextFieldType = FileIO.FieldType.Delimited

the best method to read a huge file? I'm guessing its with "stream"?It's like a 200mb file.I need to read each line and do something if the line contains a search string.
Code:Imports System.IO

I'm reading a text file with StreamReader, line by line. If a condition is met, then I do an operation and then start reading the file again from the first line. I realize I could close and then re-open the file, but surely this would be very slow.
I could do this easily in VB6, but pulling my hair out trying to do this in vB.net. It seems that 'Seek' is the function to use, but it doesn't work.
I've seen other examples, where it works, but you must open it a different way -- with a file number.
Imports System.IO
Dim I as Integer
Dim LineText as String

I'm making a program which has 7 textboxes. I intend the program to be used for classes in school, so the text would be like 2D Art, Geology etc... whatever your classes are. I have figured out how to use the streamwriter to take the text in the textboxes and write them to a .txt file however, my issue is with loading the text from the .txt file back into the textboxes. I did figure out how to write it so that all the text in the .txt file is loaded back into textbox1 but I have 7 textboxes... Here's the coding for the Load button:
Private Sub Button46_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button46.Click
Dim MainWindowLog As String = "V:Users(O.o)~(--_--)~(o.O)DocumentsVisual Studio

Basically, I'm creating an application which takes a list of words in .txt format, such like this:
Abc
Def
Ghi
Jkl
mno
What I want to be able to do is modify the words, one by one, so that I end with
Abc1
Def1
Ghi1
Jkl1
mno1
or whatever the user wants.
I created this app in C++ to get the logic, since I am more confident with that

I'm storing a multi-line text file (in .dir format) in the directory the user chooses, and what I need to do, is when they import it (which my program can already do) I need it to find the end of the file (line) and then read that line, that line will be a number which corresponds with a number system. Basically, the file looks like this
1. Time: 10/27/2009 4:58:09 PM
Title: Title
Author: Author
Entry: Test
2The 2 at the end specifies what the number will be next time. How do I do this?

I'm trying to read an .rtf file one line at a time but I'm clearly missing something!The file contains 3 lines and I want each line to end-up in a different RichTextBox, so:
Open File
RichTextBox1 = 1st Line in File
RichTextBox2 = 2nd Line in File
RichTextBox3 = 3rd Line in File
Close File
What am I not understanding? I've tried using LoadFile to load the whole file into another RichTextBox first as I got the impression that RichTextBoxes are indexed - but what I got was strings not .rtf format. I've also looked to see if there's an equivalent of the text-centric ".ReadLine" and nothing seems to fit the bill.

Basically what I'm trying to do is read a text file line by line. After each line is read, it will put each line into a separate text box. I've been trying to do this for a while and so far I haven't been able to. I tried using a for loop, but that just put all my lines in to one textbox.

The file is a UTF8 text files.
Each characters has varying number of bytes and each line has varying number of characters.
Does vb.net has table of line numbers to byte location function or something like that?
Also after that how to read that?

I need to read the second-to-last line of a very large log file.
I can't read the entire thing into memory, count lines, etc etc. I can't use Filestream.Setlength because that needs readwrite access and the log will be opened by another application. And it has to be fast. However, the line ends in a cr/lf meaning the last line is actually empty. Been struggling with this all day, and its hurting my head! Not good on a Friday!
I have a function that can read the last line but can't get it to go one line up. I can get it to read characters from the end of the line, but that's not much of a help with a variable length line!
Maybe fs SeekOrigin would work as it could run backwards looking at an example from MSDN - need to get the data before the last cr/lf and end at the next one... hmmm... problem is that that example also writes the text backwards as well.
I'm monitoring the log for particular entries for issues that are causing us grief at the moment.

I have a couple of VB6 programs which work 100%, however not under W7, so I need to upgrade them to Visual studio 2008 pro which I own a copy of.The VB6 software used to open a file, read in a line of data and process it then save it in a new file, before going on to the next line input.I need to convert this process to VS2008 pro and can't get my head around it..... getting old you see.I also have a few other needs to do with file handling, but I may be able to sort them myself if I get a start with the above problem....

Is there an easy way to insert a line into the very beginning of a large file?I want to insert an XML header line into XML files that my program processes (These files can be very large, so reading it via bitstream and writing it out is not a good option).
File.AppendText makes it very easy to append lines to the end of a file, but I don't see anything for inserting text.I wonder how does say Access work in processing say a 50 meg access database file? There must be a similar process where you can insert data anywhere inside a large file.

I have a text file with thousands of entries of 11 digit numbers. With a button click I need to import the data into my form in a texybox, read the first entry, run an algorithm and place the result as a new line in another textbox. Then move to the second entry and so on.
I am able to read the data from the file and place into a textbox but I am having trouble with reading each entry line by line and running the algorithm.The algorithm that needs to be ran consists of reading each character one at a time for each line and is as follows:
ENTRY example: 12358458754
The characters 1,3,8,5,7,4 need to be summed then multiplied by 3. These are all the characters starting with the first character and skipping every other one. I will call them "odds" (not referring to numeric value)The characters that are skipped, I will call them "evens", need to be summed together then added to the result of the "odds" which were summed then multiplied by 3.The total result needs to then be divided by 10 and the remainder needs to be subtracted from 10. It should be something like this: (10 - ((sumOdds * 3) + sumEvens) mod 10))

To read any form's text (except RichTextBox) line by line I've always used this splitting
Dim Lines() as String = Split(TextBox1.Text, vbNewLine)MsgBox(Lines(0))This code just works perfectly.But whenever I try this code on a RichTextBox like this:Dim Lines() as String = Split(RichTextBox1.Text, vbNewLine)MsgBox(Lines(0))The message box appears with the whole lines.I think maybe the RichTextBox1.Text() returns another new line character (means not vbNewLine).

For example I have a strint containing text with more than 1 line. For example:
"Hello How Are You"
I want to read a specific line of the string, if I choose to read line 1 of the string in a messagebox then the word "How" will probably pop up.

I have an array called lines() which is basically an array indicating which lines to read from a file. for example lines(1) = 0 means 'read the first line from the file', lines(2) = 4 means 'read the 5th line from the file' (counting from 0 not 1) The program first reads the file (which has a lot of random lines) so it can identify which lines match my criteria. The way I store the line positions is this:
For i = 0 to noOfLines -1 'total num of lines in file
If count = match Then 'this is my match criteria
lines(x) = i 'store the line in the array
