I am looping through a text file and reading and then parsing each line.. then, inserting into a sql server. The problem is, I am getting every other line. Any thoughts? I read another post on here that is similar and it says that that person was calling the ReadLine twice... which makes sense. I just cannot spot where it is happening.

The process reads through the file and then exits the loop while only a third of the way through the file.What can I do to ensure it reads the whole file?

View 2 RepliesI'm having an issue with the streamreader. I had it working but I've changed something and it has stopped.
I have it in a Do While loop reading line by line, but it doesn't finish reading. It reads about 27 lines out of 4000, then stops.
I changed the contents of the file it was reading, but it's still just save as a txt notepad file.
I also changed how I tell it which file to open (UserSelection.T2) however it does open the file just doesn't finish reading it.
Doesn't kick back any errors, it just doesn't read the entire file.

What I have stored in my file is values related to an account. (Just testing, not going to be used commercially). What I need is to draw the values for the username and password, by going through each new line, but .peek() doesn't seem to work for me.

public string CheckAccount(string username, string password) {
StreamReader sr;
string filename = "H:\AccountInfo.txt";
string s;

My code doesn't read from the 2nd line onwards, it just hangs.
I am currently writing a Login Script, and I am having trouble making StreamReader read a specific line in a text file. This is what I have so far (not the entire script, just the reader lines):

Dim file As String = (path + "LogDat.txt")
Dim sr As New IO.StreamReader(file)

Dim line4 As String = sr.ReadLine(4) '' Supposed to read line 4
Dim line9 As String = sr.ReadLine(9) '' Supposed to read line 9

View 6 RepliesI 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

View 3 RepliesI have a problem with a streamreader in visual basic 2008.I am updating a database from text files on an ftp server. The streamreader works fine until the file is more than 100,000 bytes long.It reads until it reaches this point and then just ends. No error message, it just reads to this point which happens to be 2 fields out of 6 in the database stream. My question is - does the streamreader have a limit? And if so what is a workaround?

I'm writing a program that basically loads an entire text file into a streamreader variable, then reads this variable line by line and parses and writes a line into a new text file. I'm VERY new and my knowledge is mostly self-taught, but I can't seem to get out of this one. It works for smaller files, but it appears to reach a limit in characters at some point because in a file of 900 lines, it stops writing about halfway through 800 and there are no errors, the program actually completes and the message box pops up.
There are a few things with this code I already know I should fix, such as creating the new text file name, it's messy, I just don't know how.

I have an assignment due tomorrow, and I thought I had it all figured out but there is one question I don't know how to program. The assignment consists of a form with textboxes in which the user types info about a book (author, title, genre, etc.), which he can save to a textfile by clicking the save button. (At the moment it's not saving it to a textfile but just a 'file', which can be opened with notepad but is of no specific datatype, not sure how I do that, but is less important). There is also a button with which the user can display information from a different, earlier created textfile.[code]

View 3 RepliesI am doing an assignment for my programming class in which we have a text document full of names (one per line), and we set up a program with a textbox, button, and listbox. The user enters a name in the text box, clicks the button, and it searches the document for the name. If it's found, the listbox should say so and list the line number.I can get that working no problem, but the assignment also requires informing the user if the name can not be found, and I am not doing something right with that.My code is as follows:
Quote:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim inputname As String = TextBox1.Text
Dim linecount As Double = 0
If I remove the three bolded lines and it finds a name, it will work fine to the point that it informs as such and tells what line it is on, but it won't inform the user if a name wasn't found, which I need. I thought adding those three bolded lines would help, but when I have them in there, it will incorrectly display "Name not found. " no matter what name I type in the box, even if it is in the text document.

magine there is search box (textbox), and below there are a search button with a rich text box.My text file located in the drive C is like this: [code]I want to search only two types of items in my text file located in drive C, namely: Construction and Non-construction. When the user will type a product name, OR size, OR whatever, he must get results only for the Construction or Non-construction. The user must not get results for the Food. And the user can make misspelling of words in the search, so the Search box must tackle it. And yes, the results should appear on the rich text box on the form itself.What is the code of doing the Search according the criteria above? All I know I have made a srteamreader code but when clicking on the search button, it is giving me all the texts i wrote in the text files. However, I want only some lines to be read.
