Reading From A Plain Text File Into Array

Mar 30, 2010

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]

Reading Text File Into Array?

Jun 26, 2011

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.

Reading Text From File Into Array?

May 29, 2011

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.

.net - Process Plain Text File

Apr 12, 2012

I'm trying to use VB.NET to process a very large plain text file (2 GB). It is a database and has a field delimiter of SOH and a record delimiter of STX.

I want to separate the fields and records of the file.

I would normally read each line of a text file and then use the split function to separate out the fields. I can't use this approach as there isn't always a delimiter on every line.

Is there any way to read a file until STX is found (rather than one line at a time)?

File I/O And Registry :: Implement A Routine To Read A Plain Text File?

Mar 21, 2010

I need to implement a routine to read a plain text file, BUT that file has a predefined format.The file format is as follows:

Quote:

<FILE_PROPERTIES> 'The "< >" also appears
Propertie1="String" 'It's possible to have spaces after or before the "="
Propertie2="String"
Propertie3="String"
PropertieN="String"

[code]....

Is there any Windows API Routine to read something like that?Or could you point me an URL where something is implemented?I don't want a procedure to read the file line by line and comparing them with Line Input because blank spaces, empty lines and comments starting with " // " may appear too, and I don't want to take them into account, but also I need to save changes to the file, but only to the modified section, without having to read the whole file, and re-write it completely.

Binary access can't work, because I don't know what's the size of each "section", since the number of elements into it can change.
I need something like the "ReadINI" Windows API Procedure, but allowing me to read the "[XXX]" sections headers, and also the "<XXX>" file title header.

Send Plain Text Via Sockets In .NET

Sep 9, 2011

I'm writing a replacement for an old library we use at the office to communicate with a rather clumsy and old custom-made C++ framework that takes requests via sockets in order to communicate with a bunch of other systems. The problem is that it will only take plain text messages containing a string which must be formatted in a very specific way.The problem I'm facing is that I haven't found so far a way of sending plain text through the socket. The Send method of the socket will only take byte arrays, and while the listening point receives the data, it gets there completely scrambled, and there's no way I can mess with that in order to convert the byte array back to plain text. I need to be able to send plain text, not byte arrays.[code]

Plain Text Emails Arrive Blank

Feb 7, 2012

I am using Visual Studio 2008 Pro to create a web application in Visual Basic. This app takes the information filled in by a user and then sends it to various people. Some of these people get the email in HTML, the rest in plain text. However, whenever I use the code below to send the plain text email, when the email arrives in my Outlook 2010 Inbox it is completely blank. If I leave the code alone and change only .IsBodyHTML from False to True, it works (it sends the email formatted for HTML).[code]Also, if I create an entirely new web app, using only this code, it sends the email correctly as plain text.

Convert Any Thing Pasted To Richtextbox As A Plain Text?

Just like the notepad, it will not allow you to paste any picture in it, and it will convert all formatted text to plain text. It will not change the content of the clipboard, it just like a filter... Is there any way to do it in VB.NET?My program screenshot:

I had a solution in my brain but I think it is not the best... The solution is reformat the text with
richtextbox1.font=myfont after any time I pasted, but it still can paste the other thing like object and picture..

Reading From File Into A Structured Array?

May 22, 2012

I need some input on what I'm doing wrong. What I have so far is an order form program where customers input their information and what they want to buy. Now, what I'm trying to do is take the customer information, store it in an array, write the customer information to a file, and then when I open the order form, it loads the customer information file and automatically fill in a display box on another form with all the customers and the information.I want each customer in a file to be stored on one line. Like so: (Name, address, city, state, zip)

Mike-123 E Dream Rd-Denver-CO-99558
Jane-234 E Code Rd-Seattle-WA-99458

Then when the file is read, to read it, and add each name to a structured array (customers(NumberOfCustomers).Name, customers(NumberOfCustomers).Address, customers(NumberOfCustomers).City, customers(NumberOfCustomers).State, customers(NumberOfCustomers).zip).

After it has all been added to the array, all customers in the file, I want to loop through the array and display each customer on a new line in a listbox, which opens in another form.So far, everything works IF I don't write to a fail. If I store the customers in an array and use a loop to display the customers in the listbox, all is well. However, when writing to a file and trying to read it back into the array is where I've hit a problem. The following code seems to work well, however, it just reads the first line over and over as many times as there are lines in the file, and displays all those using the loop. I just need a way to loop through the lines and store each line into each structured array for each customer, instead of read the first line 12 times over into 12 different places in the array.
