Reading Individual Lines Of A CSV Into A String Array?
Mar 11, 2010
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've got myself a CSV file with the following contents:
1,The Compact,1.8GHz,1024MB,160GB,440
2,The Medium,2.4GHz,1024MB,180GB,500
3,The Workhorse,2.4GHz,2048MB,220GB,650

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'm trying to read lines from a file and split them into two words contained in a two dimensional array.[code]Does anyone know why I'm getting this error?
I have the following function, Dim results() As Object = Me.Invoke("webdirect", New Object() {Company, LocationCode, CustomerNumber, OrderNumber, OrderRef, OrderDate, WebLines}) o_Company = CType(results(1),System.Nullable(Of Integer)) o_LocationCode = CType(results(2),String) o_CustomerNumber = CType(results(3),String) [Code] .....
So the return type of this function is a string, but I would like to get it back to its original form so I can access the individual sections i.e. o_LocationCode,o_CustomerNumber, etc how can I do that ?
Entire functions looks like this Public Function webdirect(<System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(IsNullable:=true)> ByVal Company As System.Nullable(Of Integer), <System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(IsNullable:=true)> ByVal LocationCode As String, <System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(IsNullable:=true)> ByVal CustomerNumber As String, [Code] .....
Called like this Dim returnArray As String returnArray = client.webdirect(10, "123", "123", "123", "147", "2011-11-1", webLinesArray, 10, "", "", "", "", "", webRespArray) No errors on run time but the string seems to be just blank, thats why i was wondering how I convert the string back to the array so I can access the individual elements.
I am looking to add individual lines of user inputed text into a rich text box. I've been working with .text and .appendtext however I can't assign individual lines of text.[code]...
How can I pull individual lines out of a multiline textbox when wordwrap=true?
For example I have a long string in a textbox and it wordwraps to create 3 seperate lines. How can I get the text of the 2nd line? The control thinks that there is only 1 line since it wordwrapped and there are no CRLFs in the string.
if this is in the wrong spot i believe this is the proper spot. anyways, i am using the code below to read a text file and then separate the line where it finds a :: - my problem is what if i have a line like:
I have a 2d array of data that I have performed the sum of the individual column of the 2d array. I want to send the results to a datagridview and also will like to have the result as a 1d or 2d array.
Below is sample of my code
Dim Array1(,) as double Array1(0, 0) = 5 Array1(0, 1) = 7
I'm in the process of creating a tile based game. This game requires a method to load a text file and write the numbers between the delimiter "-", to a multidimensional array. However, an error message "object not set to an instance occurs. [code]...
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'm trying to teach myself arrays as I have not extensively worked them. So I thought of a basic program to hash the contents of an array and list the output of the array word next to the hash value of it.
I have a huge assignment tommorow in which i have to make a trivia game on visual basic. In this game you have to be able to make your own questions (modify/delete etc). Basically I have one form where you can add questions into one listbox and answers into another listbox. Now i have another form with the actual game board. I want to load each individual listbox item from the other form into the array on the game board form. Example. the first item of form2.listbox1 into question(1)
I got this so far
Private Sub Form5_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim i As Integer
I need to bind a textblock.text property to a single element in an observable collection, or array element, and have the text update using the INotifyPropertyChanged or INotifyCollectionChanged, whichever is best.
Most examples describe ways to bind listboxes or other list views to entire collections, but my application needs to update several textblocks on a screen depending on notification of a change in one or more elements of an array.
Is it possible to bind a single textblock to a single array element? Is it possible to get notification of the proper type that will update one or more of the textblocks if any assigned element changes?
I've been writing a weight program for flooded pressure vessels and I'm having trouble retrieving the data from the text files I've been saving. I know how to write the data to the text file, but retrieving it with OpenFileDialog is not so easy for me.The user has individual text boxes that they input strings or numbers into and when they save the file, each text box input is written to one line in the text file. For example, the first text box is for the username, therefore the first line of text that is saved is the person's name, the second text box is the customer, thus the second line in the text file is the customer name, and so on.
(Actually, the first line of text in the saved file designates whether English units were used or Metric units because when the user retrieves the saved file, English units will open one form and Metric units will open a separate form, so some If...Then statement will need to occur).I need to be able to read the first line, have either my "EnglishForm"form open or my "MetricForm" form open, and then have each subsequent line of text be displayed in their corresponding text boxes. I know I need to use ReadLine or LineInput, but I don't have a clue what to do.Assuming the syntax I've displayed below would just magically work (if only life were that easy), it would look something like this
If FirstLineOfTextInFile = "English" Then EnglishForm.Show() ElseIf FirstLineOfTextInFile = "Metric" Then[code]....
And so on...I read a lot of articles from the MSDN library and exhausted each link that I've looked through from Google and Bing, but most only retrieve data from the file to a single text box through some loop or streamreader and don't take into account multiple forms.
I am very new to VB, and am programming in VB 2008 express. Sorry if this thread is in the wrong spot I need to add two 40 digit numbers together and was thinking that the simplest way to do it would be to input them as a string and then convert the string to a single dimensional array where x(1) is the 1st digit in the number, and x(30) is the 30th digit, etc. I would do the same for the other number where y(1) is the 1st digit. I would then add the x(40) and y(40) (which are the last digits of the number) together and carry the remainder into the next addition (39th digit, 38, ...)
So I have a code atm that has 2 combo boxes, one to select the make, then it will enable the model, I have 3 model choices, here's code: [code] Once I have selected my model of the car, it takes me to that specific form with a picture of that model, I then want to display individual parts, with individual prices that will add up in a text box above.
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()
Dim fileName As String = fileloc Using reader As New System.IO.StreamReader(fileName) While Not reader.ReadLine() Is Nothing
[code]....
THe problem is it reads in every other line.I assume its because its reading line one in the 'while' then the next line being stored during the loop....
when using stream reader to read text files how would i go about reading or referencing specific lines.so if i wanted to read from say line 2, 3, 4 or 10,11,12 in the textfile or what ever.
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".
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]
