Reading And Extracting Data From Csv File Using VB?
Jun 10, 2011
This is the code i wrote in order to First open a csv file as excel, then find the required three columns, n then read data from them n save the data into another variables showing them in textbox. As about the csv file, it contains many columns out of which my focus is on only 3 columns under title ID, L, Lg.Problem is Excel doesnt actually open but Excel.exe process runs in task manager. But by this point its not the compile error; Compile error comes at 'Next' Statement. It says Compile Error: Next without For!!
Private Sub cmdFind_Click()
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Set xlApp = New Excel.Application
I have a csv file with 48 columns of data. I need to open this file, place it into a data structure and then search that data and present it in a DataRepeater. So far I have successfully used CSVReader to extract the data and bind it to myDataRepeater. However I am now struggling to place the data in a table so that I can filter the results. I do not want to use SQL or any other database.
So far, this is working in returning all records: Private Sub BindCsv() ' open the file "data.csv" which is a CSV file with headers" Dim dirInfo As New DirectoryInfo(Server.MapPath("~/ftp/")) Dim fileLocation As String = dirInfo.ToString & "data.txt" Using csv As New CsvReader(New StreamReader(fileLocation), True) [Code] .....
i am a newbie to visual basic .neti have a vb.net database that has 3 textboxs that go to a listbox and also store in a database.i was wondering if i can extract the data from the listbox to excel like a csv file or something along them lines s i have no clue on how to do this.
I am developing an application and one of the candys of the application is a form where data is extracted from XML from internet. I would like to know, if there is any possibility that, when user clicks button on my form, data is extracted from this XML file [Code]
Is it possible to read the inbox of any email account whether it is yahoo or gmail or hotmail defined by us just as outlook express does, using Visual Basic 2008?
can I extract only subject of a particular email or only its content or only the attachment or any other information regarding that mail?
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?
I was just wondering how to extract or parse any particual tags (whichever I specify) from webpages. I know how to extract text and links from webpages, but I tried to use the same method from the following code for div tags, title tags etcetera and it doesn't seem to work:
I will use this program for meter reader. Anyone can help me reading data from text file.. For example I want to get the data that i export from MySQL Database to Text file..
I have textbox to insert the acct number to search the name, and button1 to execute search, and another Textbox to store the name that have been search.
[Code]...
Data in zone6.txt ---- Acctnum, 06-12-057, LIZAcctnum, 06-12-058, MARK, Acctnum, 06-12-001, MICHAEL
Acctnum is the column 1, 06-12-057 is the column 2, LIZ is the column 3.. how can i get the name LIZ if i type the acctnum
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 trying to write the TOURN structure and then read the TOURN structure back in.. the file gets created on my desktop and the program does not have any syntax errors, but when I READ the file none of the Data gets retrieved. So I am not sure if the DATA was actually saved or it is just not being retrieved?? This is what I have coded so far...
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")
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:
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.
I have a text file which has the format A;UK;WN0XKKF;XX377SL;POSS TRADE MONITOR A;UK;N6HXS;XX361NG;POSS TRADE MONITOR A;UK;DU58XPK;XX37 6UR;EXCESSIVE WASTE MONITOR A;UK;R251YXF;XX36 ZHA;POSS TRADE MONITOR
I am trying to read the code, and pull out the 3rd, 4th and 5th set of each line in to a datagrid. Dim list = New List(Of datagrid) Dim FILE_NAME As String = "C: est.txt" If System.IO.File.Exists(FILE_NAME) = True Then Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(FILE_NAME) Do While objReader.Peek() <> -1 [Code] ..... I get the reg come up ok, but then it errors out with Index was outside the bounds of the array.
I'm working on a program for a side business I run with a friend, who is a non-programmer.I've done a program before, using IO.StreamReader and IO.StreamWriter to read and write lines to a text file.
But now, I'm working on reading text data (it's output from an old legacy program) that reads a first and last name, and the customer number (6 digits) from one file.
Then, it uses the data (customer number) read the first time to cross reference the zip code and status from a second file, and display it.
The Data in the Text Files are as follows:[code...]
How would I begin parsing for the first and last name, and the customer number to assign to different variables?In the line that references names.txt I meant to put customers.txt.
That's a snippet of code I took from a previous program, so I know how to read the data, just don't know how to extract it.
Is there a way to set BitConverter to produce Int32 values from BigEndian-encoded bytes?I feel like there might be a way to temporarily "set" the encoding to BigEndian before calling BitConverter, but I haven't figured it out.Right now I'm just reversing the 4 bytes before calling BitConverter, I guess I could create my own function that adds the bytes with the appropriate multiplier, but it seems a little inelegant if it can be done simply with BitConverter.
Here's what i've got so far, i've written all of the data that i'm going to put into my config file, however i'm having trouble reading the specific string values that I need from that ini file. The parts of the ini lines I want to get are the values in between the I've tried using streamreader a couple things but i'm having trouble figuring that out. I need to parse each line of the ini file to get that value in between the single quotations, so that I can set the value for my richtextbox background and text color as well as a few other things that i've set up in my notepad including tab spacing and so on. lots of these different values need to be converted from a string value to integers, and boolean values as well. (4 of them, the rest of them don't have to be changed because they are already string values when my application reads them to determine it's application load settings.
EDIT: I just noticed in the preview that this is from the version of the app where I had streamwriter write "______ value=" & Something to a file. lol some of the (')s are still in this version, so please excuse that little part. I had them in, but took them out so that I could trim data to get a value easier, but I want to use (')s hopefully when all is said and done.For example, just to restate what I want - in the ini file it will read [setting name] value='VALUE'I want to be able to "get" the string value of "VALUE" within the ini file between the 2 single quotations '
I have a text file that the first part of my program writes data to, but for this second section, I need to read that file and use pieces of that data and average them out. The text file is setup up with 90 lines of data starting with the first 9 lines containing data and the 10th is a blank space. I need to read line 6, 8, and 9. I need to Loop through the file so I am using the Do While Loop. Where I am confused is when using the For...Next Loop to tell the program to read a specific line. If you have any info that can lead me to the answer that would be great. I would prefer you just point me in the right direction because I would very much like to somewhat figure it out in the process.
I'm trying to download a file using ftp and then using a streamreader to read it and write it to a text file. The problem is, when I download the file and read it, either it did not get all the data or it stops writing the data to the local file and doesnt produce any error, it just sits there. I've tried it with many different files from the ftp site and this always happens.
Private Sub Download(ByVal stateURI As String, ByVal userName As String, ByVal pWord As String)
I'm reading a file into a buffer using the Space function. Then I'm using blowfish dll's to encrypt it, and want to write the encrypted data to a txt file. (I realize you can use .NET cryptography classes, but I need to use these old blowfish dll's for this project.) Anyway, when when I encrypt the data in the buffer, I can see all encrypted data, but when I write it out to a file, I get a few lines of encrypted data and the rest of plain text.

I am trying to read in demographics from a text file. What I am trying to do is use the commas in the text file as a stop and starting point for each field. Instead of explaining all will be clear once you look at the code.

I have a program that is reading and writing to certain memory addresses to a particular application exe...
So I have a listview control with 4 columns and X rows
| Name | Address | Type | Value |
Name: Is just an identifier so the user knows what it is.Address: Is a specific memory address (eg 0058AFA0).Type: Type of value stored in the address (eg, 4 Bytes, Float).Value: Value to store in the address.Im looking for a way to go through each row, take the address and use this to read the value at that address and then update the value on that row
I am reading in data from an excel file that is only viewed inside the program. This excel file is being populated by data from multiple PLCs (7) through DDE links via RS Linx Gateway. I would like this data to be written to two different excel files and specific sheets within those so that it can be viewed later on.
My program has a form that will allow the user to view the data live, meaning they look at the first excel file from the program so that they are not able to edit the DDE links or change the file in any way. The other excel files (there will be two, one for good parts, one for bad parts) have specific sheets for each part and each tester station. For example, if the part is a ABC part, and it is a good part, and it was tester on tester station 1 then it needs to be saved to the good parts excel file, in the ABC sheet and in the good tester station 1 sheet.
If part XYZ comes along and is a bad part (fails testing) then it needs to be saved to the bad parts file, the XYZ sheet and the bad tester station 1 sheet.I might have added more detail than is needed to solve the problem but I thought I would add it anyways to help you all understand my problem a little better.
