Reading A .txt File And Loading Data For Processing?
Feb 27, 2009
I have a text file that contained about 50,000 lines of data which are all the same format as below
0000710950,INFEED NAME,40,INFEED TIME,0,ENTRY,55649,MCS,[code]....
What I would like to do is read this data in as fast as possible either line by line and processing the data as I go by line. Or read the whole lot in and THEN process it, which woulkd be the fastest ? I used to do this in Excel but want to transfer it to VB and don't know really how to get started I have the following but would like to know how to get the columns into a named array and then how to itterate through array.
Dim myLines() As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines("C:SYNC_DATA�0 - LGW�5 - Archived�0 - IST Logs2008istlog20090224.txt")

Im a college student and this is my first programming class, i am having extremely diffcult time with arrays and sequential file processing. Im not asking for the whole program, just something to get me started and hints along as i progress with it. Please help me get started on my program, its due in 2 days.
Here are the requirements....
1. The program must input any number of individual�s last and first names using two separate textboxes.
2. The array of names must be sorted by the last name using a bubble sort. You must code the sort.
3. The program must be able to recall the names from the file and add to the existing list of names so that more names can be added to, sorted, and written back to the file in sorted order.
4. Sort in ascending order: A to Z
5. All names must be displayed in a listbox in sorted order when the user wishes to see them.
6. In the listbox the last and first names must be separated by a comma and a space. Example: Smith, Mary
7. The user must be able to search for a name in the array, using the binary search algorithm. You must code the search.
8. Do not use module-level variables. Instead you may choose to use Static.
9. The program must be designed using Visual Basic 2008

I am writing a program with a loading bar. I also have a label that says what the program is currently loading (Eg. 'Generating Numbers...', 'Determining Winners...').
It all works fine, but the label sometimes doesn't change or doesn't even appear because the program is too busy processing all the other stuff. I hope that makes sense...
Is there any way to centralize processing on the label and progress bar at times?

im toying with an idea based round having controls end user movable at runtime, and having a function to save the current position/location of all the controls, so then i can skip through presets i already made as it were. Ill be using .ini files eventually (just testing with txt files to check it was a valid aproach) I can get all the info i need into the txt file, the problem is how to read it back into the app?

I've discovered a problem that's fairly huge in my work environment and unusual. I'd say that it's impossible for it to be happening except that it is happening.
You have a window (we'll call it window 1) open with a page in it, you enter some data on the form, push the button to submit the data...behind the scenes a decent amount of work is going on.While data is processing in window 1 , you open window 2 and try to load the same page that is processing data in window 1.Window 2 will not render the page until window 1 is done doing whatever it's doing behind the scenes and has re-rendered on the screen.This is happening for all .NET pages in our environment.

Our application is using VBSQL.OCX on Sql server 2000 to create temporary tables and load pipe delimited data from a text file with predefined format into the tables. It is failing intermittently doing this. 99% times it works perfectly. But on occasions it does fail with error. Once the process is rerun with the same input file it runs successfully.Basically the architecture is of Store/Head Office where there are around 200 remote stores sending set of data files to the Head Office. At HO our application sequentially processes each store which has all the set of files received, creates a corresponding table, loads the data from the file into the table and moves onto the next store.If it is for some reason not able to load the file for a store, it gives a failure message and continues with next store.Error which the OCX throws is "Attempt to convert data stopped by syntax error in source field"

I just learned some basics of multi threading in VB.net recently as I came across processing a large List of records and inserting them into SQL database one by one.
I have code look like this:
Private Sub btnLoadNow_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnLoadNow.Click
Dim autoLoad1 As New Thread(AddressOf AutoLoad)
autoLoad1.Start()
[CODE]...
Itemlists is a global lists i retrieved from database, everything looks fine to me but when i run this program, I found that the threads are inserting one records 9 times into the database(I have 9 threads in total), which makes me think that maybe i need to specifically assign 1/9 of a list to each thread? Is there another way to do it which doesn't require the splitting of the list, if not , how do i split it then assign?

I am working in VB.NET 2003 and here is the issue of the day (for me):
I have an application which is supposed to read data from a CSV file one line at a time then pick out the 9th item ( a number) in the line and then add these numbers together for a total. The problem is the routine does not get beyond the first line. The code is as follows:
Dim total As Decimal = 0
Dim reader As StreamReader
Try
[Code]....
How do I get this routine to advance to the next line of the CSV file and continue to do so until it has read the last line?

Ive made a program that reads in data from a txt file that has 4 columns, but it doesnt work if there are headings to the columns or any other kind of text at the top of the file. I basically just want to be able to skip any text at the top of the file, either by the user specifying how many lines to skip, or by code that can calculate how many lines to skip.
At the moment, the code opens the file, calculates how many lines there are in the file, redims an array to this size, closes the file and then reopens it so its ready to have the data read.
This is how the data is input into the array at the moment:
ReDim data(lines, 3)
i = 0
While Not (EOF(1))
[Code]....
I was thinking a possibility would be to use a try statement so that if the data is a string, then it skips over that line, but i couldnt figure out how to put it together.

I am currently trying to write a program that will do the following. 1. The user will open a .txt file that needs to be converted into a CSV file. 2. The user will then click on a button to convert the file. 3. The program will parse the .txt file for the necessary data and will then write the data to a new CSV file. So far I am sure that I can write the code which will open the file and which will save the file to the new format. Where I am having problems is with the .txt file format that I have to work with. [Code]
Each field is fixed length with the empty space in front of the starting numbers being a field. I have been unable to find any code that would show me how to parse only certain data from this .txt file. What I need it to end up looking like is this: [Code] The program itself needs to be pretty simple as the .txt file will only have at most 25 to 30 records. I was thinking of using a StreamReader to read the data into an array, but I can't figure out how to get just the data I need out of each record.

How do you read the data from a file on the computer? I have an mp3 stored on my root folder and I want the form to read the raw data from it so I can do some encryption etc.
Dim fileOpen As New IO.StreamReader("C:file.mp3")
Dim stream As String = fileOpen.ReadToEnd
TextBox1.Text = stream

I am currently working on a vb project. What I am trying to do is reading a XML file and saving all the data in to the Access DB. Once this is done, I read the data from the access Db and display it in the required fields in VB form. Issue is, when i store the value in the access, a weird character is assigned before and after the data. The character is a square box with question mark in it. Also the same character displays on the VB form as well

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:
Default Source "I:DCIM101MSDCF"
Default Destination "C:Documents and SettingsChristyMy DocumentsMy Pictures"
Default Backup Destination "D:My DocumentsBackupMy Pictures"
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.
