Reading Certain Lines From A Text File Into An Array?
Oct 26, 2009
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 have written a simple script to get a bunch of lines from a text file (they will be filenames eventually) which are split by new lines and puts each one into an array..
Dim ary() As String
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists("C:MenuFiles.txt") Then
[code]....
The only thing I can do for now is either use the substring function to remove the first character from all array values after 0 but I don't like that because it's messy and what if the split "works" as I want it to one one of the lines and knocks of the first character when I don't want it to.

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()

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")

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".

Does anyone know how to read individual lines off of a text file?
If the textfile looks like this:
Text1
Text2
Text3
Text4
You could make it so on timer1 it sends text1, then on the next tick text2, and so on?

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'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
username.text = readLine.ReadLine()
userage.text = readline.ReadLine()
[Code]....
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 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

I am adding line entries in a .ini file. The problem is, I am creating duplicate lines in the file, which I do not want to do. I searched this issue online, and the consensus is to use an array, loop through for duplicates and create a new file. However, being so new at this and teaching myself how to code no less, I am at a dead end. This is not a school project, it is something I am doing for work on my own time. I have all of my code done for the program except for this last step.

I am trying to turn data in a text file seperated by spaces into a 2D array.
It is for a math game. The data is statistics based on the performance of the user. One line looks like this "John Doe 0 0 1 3 0 6 0 22"
I need to put the line into an array and then be able to search by name to display the results. I keep getting extra spaces in the input of the array so the data isnt where it should be. It seems that the first entry works correctly, but appended lines do not enter correctly.
Sub ResultsToFile()
Dim FILE_NAME As String = "C:\Student_Results.txt"
Dim RecordString As String = NameForm.PlayerFirstName & " " &

I need assistance with posting lines from a text file (test scores) into an array. From there, I'll have to average the test scores, find the standard deviation (without using the built in function) and assign grades based on the test scores' deviation. I have already written the code for the user to search and upload a text file. And I should be able to do the standard deviation of the array, if someone can help give me an example of how to send the text file to array and average the lines of the array without using the built in math functions.

As you will see from the code below I need to be able to tell before the array runs how many members of the array there are or else the program will crash. How can I redim the array depending on how many lines are in the text file (RECORDS.txt)

So I am trying to learn vb.net and am a beginner. I find alot of online tutorials, but have yet to find one where I can follow what I'm attemping to do, just bits and pieces. I want to keep the code basic until I learn more, and in this case use two - one dimenstion arrays. I built a program to write Employee Names and Wages to a txt file.ie.
Jack Black vbtab 60000
Nick Mole vbtab 45000
and so on
I want to bring back that data and place the name and the and wage each into an array so I can calculate different criteria when I hit a search button. I will not know how many names and wages will be written to txt file. I am having trouble understanding exactly how to do this as all the examples I've found list only one array or the txt file is line by line like.
Jack Black
60000
Nick Mole
45000
Everything else I've found is over myhead so far.Here is my code so far if anyone can let me know where I'm going wrong. I have one error that tells me "property chars is read only". I have no idea what that means, even after reading up on it really...and I'm not sure if the rest of the code I've wrote is 100% anyway I assure you that I've spent more than a few hours trying to solve this myself.

specifically reading from a text file, and placing that into an array.
But the problem is, that in each line of the text file, I have at least three different separators.
Sample:
14~8|3~7|16~5|7~4|1~2|3~1|_17
12~12|5~10|2~8|5~7|_0
etc.
[Code]....
So, what I want to do, is read each line of the text file into a separate item into an array, and each item in that array is a record of another array(of terms) and a single(constant).
I've already got SOME code, but I'm pretty sure it's not going to work, and I don't know much about reading from text files and string manipulation in the first place.

I have an assignment where I must read the information from a text file into an array of structs, so that when a part number is input, the correct price will be displayed.
the file is a text file named shoeinfo.txt
it looks like this: BZB34,40.99
BZJ25,54.50
JMM97,14.99

unfortunately I am unable to figure out how the code is to be read into the array. i.e. item(0).partnum = BZB34 item(0).price = 4099D

I'm sort of new to VB and have to use it for my Software Design & Development Major Project.I'm making a blackJack game, and i the names of all users in a file called "CurrentUserNames.txt".I'm struggling to get VB to read this file (items are line by line not separated by a comma or something) and then save it into an array called CurrentUsers(). This array is then displayed in a listbox called "lstAllUsers".I can get VB to read the file and put the FIRST item in the file into the FIRST line of the list box, or i can get VB to put ALL the items in the file into the listbox, separated by the little [] squares when the program runs e.g listbox, line 1 says - "Current [][] Names".[code]

It's a list of computer systems, basically, that the user can purchase.I need to read this file, line-by-line, into an array. Let's call this array csvline().The first line of the text file would stored in csvline(0). Line two would be stored in csvline(1). And so on.(I've started with zero because that's where VB starts its arrays). A drop-down list would then enable the user to select 1, 2 or 3 (or however many lines/systems are stored in the file). Upon selecting a number - say, 1 - csvline(0) would be displayed inside a textbox (textbox1, let's say). If 2 was selected, csvline(1) would be displayed, and so on.
It's not the formatting I need help with, though; that's the easy part. I just need someone to help teach me how to read a CSV file line-by-line, putting each line into a string array - csvlines(count) - then increment count by one so that the next line is read into another slot.So far, I've been able to paste the numbers of each system into an combobox:
Using csvfileparser As New Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser _
("F:folderprogramnameprogramnameinDebugsystems.csv")
Dim csvalue As String()
[code].....
But this only selects individual values. I need to figure out how selecting one of these numbers in the combobox can trigger textbox1 to be appended with just that line (I can handle the formatting, using the string.format stuff). If I try to do this using csvalue = csvtranslator.ReadLine , I get the following error message:"Error 1 Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of String'."If I then put it as an array, ie: csvalue() = csvtranslator.ReadLine , I then get a different error message:"Error 1 Number of indices is less than the number of dimensions of the indexed array.

I have a text file containing lines of data (File 1). I need to delete all the lines in another text file (File 2), which are found in file 1.So I could read file 2 line by line. And then once the line has been read, read file 1 line by line to search for a match. But that's going to be painfully slow.Or I could read file 2 into memory. And then read file 1 line by line and REPLACE the lines in file 2 with nothing, therefore deleting them. File 2 could be 100 mb, so I'm not sure about reading it all into memory.
