I want select portions of the file and then display them on my site,I thought maybe a combination of objReader and a do loop of some description with a delimiter in the text file to indicated when the program should start or stop reading the file.
View 5 Repliesfriend of mine has no HTML knowledge so I'm attempting to write a program that replaces certain parts of a html file to suit his needs.I've edited the HTML file and marked certain parts with "tags" like this:
#IMAGEURL1# I have a textbox where he can copy + paste an image URL and hopefully the #IMAGEURL1# is replaced with the contents of the textbox.
So can someone please enlighten me to-as how to open a HTML file (there's no textbox to display the contents just yet, I'll add one if needed), find the specified text and then replace it with whats in a textbox.

I have a Comma Separated value file in .txt format... simply put, its a bunch of data delimited by commas and text qualifier is separated with ""For example:
"So and so","1234","Blah Blah", "Foo","Bar","","","",""
"foofoo","barbar","etc.."
Where ever there is a carriage return it signifies a new row and every comma separates a new column from another.My next step is to go into VB.net and create an array using these values and having the commas serve as the delimeter and somehow making the array into a table where the text files' format matches the array After that array has been created, I need to select only certain parts of that array and store the value into a variable for later use.... how to make the array and selecting the certain info out of it..
I am working on a project in VB 2008 and need it to do this:Read first line from text file (using Openfile)Enter line into textbox on formDo some other codeThen Read second linefrom text fileEnter line into same text boxand loop until we have gone through text fileI am not sure how to read line by line from text file then enter it in textbox. I can open the Openfile and get the filename and everything, but I just am not sure how to read from it or enter that line into the textbox.Here is what I have, its not much but its a start:

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'm trying to read a text file that contains info like this:
ACX-101-011 , J2168
BTXR-130A-013, D6733
AJ4-233-614, T8211
I want to split each line at the comma and write the left side to a textbox and the the right side to another textbox. I'm close, with the code below, but I can only post results from the first line in the file. How do I loop this and append the text results in each of the textboxes.

I am trying to import a TAB (NOt comma) delimited text file into a DataGridView. The following code works fine if I have a comma separated file. All I have to do is change the FMT to "Delimited".It just does not work with FMT=TabDelimited. All columns are read into single datatable column. The text file is ANSI text and I have double checked to make sure Tabs are tabs and not spaces, even exported a sample Tab Delimited file from Excel.Can this even be done using Text Driver? [code]

View 2 RepliesI'm a little new to VB, and I'm in a class for it, but I'm trying to do something we aren't going to learn in the class (mostly out of sheer interest) and I need help. I'm trying to read lines from a text file into a listbox, each line representing a new item on the listbox. For example, if the text file reads: [code]I want to be able to take that as is and read it into a listbox, where those words would appear in the exact same fashion; as a list, each as separate items. I've looked at the Help stuff and learned (sorta) about delimiters... but the thing is I don't want to write my entire list in a continuous line separated by commas--I want it to keep reading each line, and moving on to the next, until there are no more lines left. I am thoroughly stumped, and would appreciate it SO much if someone could help. For a frame of reference, this is the point I'm at now with my code: [code]Note that when I run the program, all it will do is read the first line of text available and stop; once I press ENTER in a text file, it decides to stop reading.

I have searched on google for nearly an hour now and haven't found anything of any real use. One of the earlier projects we submitted used a similar target, and I managed to get it working fine, however I dont have the original source code with me and I cannot remember how I did it.
I believe I used a Net.WebRequest method of some sort, because I had tried using StreamReader and ended up with an URI error or something like that.

I've attached what I would do in VB5. I have searched around, but all the examples I find use a Textbox instead of an array. Can anyone show me how I can do this with VB 2010?

I'm fairly new to VB and I had a quick question. I have a multi-line text box that currently looks (line for line) like this:
scn <Name>
Begin <Start Variable>
End
What I am trying to do is make so when I enter text into a different text box (lets call it textbox2) and push an 'Update' button, it replaces a certain part of the original text box. For example:
If I enter "Dogs and Cats" into textbox2 and push update, then this:scn <Name>
becomes this:scn Dogs and Cats
How would you do that? Excuse my lack of VB programming lingo like I said I'm new to this language.
OK, so the following is a link to a picture of my program. I'm including it because I feel it makes things a lot simpler. some information. When you click Rename, it goes to that Rename form. The information already there is the current name. What I plan to do is make it easy to rename the file.What I want is when the user clicks one of the handy buttons, the information appears in the text box (as I've gotten that far already). When the button is clicked again, it removes ONLY the specified information. I don't know if you can, and if you can, what to use. Currently I'm using clear which is obviously wrong. I want essentially:
When button is selected
Append Text Variable A
When button is deselected

Here is my code for splitting "," from the text file. But the problem is I don't know how to include looping in the code to make the code read the whole text file. when I run this code, it's only read the first line of the text file.

Dim data As String()
data = sr.ReadLine().Split(",")

NewSwitch.ActSShowData = sr.ReadToEnd

Obviously it reads a file - a 20M text file to be exact. Now if this 20M file is on my PC, it reads in about a second. If i open this same file in a text editor, such as Conext, its about the same.However, if this 20m File is on a network location, the Context text editor loads the file in about 1 min 40 seconds. I would have expected similar times with my vb.net code, but it took 7 minutes 45 seconds.I have no idea what the text editor uses to read a file, but i figure i must be able to get similar time in vb.net somehow.
