Reading Text File Line By Line, With Resetting Position To Beginning Of File

Jun 23, 2011

I'm reading a text file with StreamReader, line by line. If a condition is met, then I do an operation and then start reading the file again from the first line. I realize I could close and then re-open the file, but surely this would be very slow.

I could do this easily in VB6, but pulling my hair out trying to do this in vB.net. It seems that 'Seek' is the function to use, but it doesn't work.

I've seen other examples, where it works, but you must open it a different way -- with a file number.

Imports System.IO
Dim I as Integer
Dim LineText as String

Reading An Editing A Text File, Line By Line

Sep 11, 2011

Basically, I'm creating an application which takes a list of words in .txt format, such like this:

Abc
Def
Ghi
Jkl
mno

What I want to be able to do is modify the words, one by one, so that I end with

Abc1
Def1
Ghi1
Jkl1
mno1

or whatever the user wants.

I created this app in C++ to get the logic, since I am more confident with that

Basically what I'm trying to do is read a text file line by line. After each line is read, it will put each line into a separate text box. I've been trying to do this for a while and so far I haven't been able to. I tried using a for loop, but that just put all my lines in to one textbox.

File I/O And Registry :: Line By Line TextFile Reading?

Mar 5, 2009

I'm making a program which has 7 textboxes. I intend the program to be used for classes in school, so the text would be like 2D Art, Geology etc... whatever your classes are. I have figured out how to use the streamwriter to take the text in the textboxes and write them to a .txt file however, my issue is with loading the text from the .txt file back into the textboxes. I did figure out how to write it so that all the text in the .txt file is loaded back into textbox1 but I have 7 textboxes... Here's the coding for the Load button:

Private Sub Button46_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button46.Click

C# - Reading New Line From Text File Using StreamReader

Aug 24, 2011

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.

My block looks as such :
public string CheckAccount(string username, string password) {
StreamReader sr;
string filename = "H:\AccountInfo.txt";
string s;
string result = "";

My code doesn't read from the 2nd line onwards, it just hangs.

Reading A Specific Line In A Text File?

Nov 28, 2011

I have been learning VB for about 3 months now at college and decided to enhance my skills by making my own project at home. My project is basically a game where you have to guess if the next number will be higher or lower than the previous version and you can place bets on it. I have done all of this ok but I wanted to create a high score system so that you could save your score.I can manage to write out to a text file ok so that it looks like this

Highscores
Name
Score

[code]....

etc. But I am not sure on how to read in a specific line. So for example I want lblHighscore1.text to equal line 3 of the text document (as vb counts the first line as 0) So far all I have is this;

Dim objReader As IO.StreamReader = New IO.StreamReader("C:UsersKarlDesktopHighScore.t xt")
lblHighscore1.Text = (objReader.ReadLine)

Finding The End Of The File (Line) And Reading A Specified Line?

Nov 21, 2009

I'm storing a multi-line text file (in .dir format) in the directory the user chooses, and what I need to do, is when they import it (which my program can already do) I need it to find the end of the file (line) and then read that line, that line will be a number which corresponds with a number system. Basically, the file looks like this

1. Time: 10/27/2009 4:58:09 PM
Title: Title
Author: Author
Entry: Test

File I/O And Registry :: Reading A .RTF File Line-by-line?

Sep 20, 2010

I'm trying to read an .rtf file one line at a time but I'm clearly missing something!The file contains 3 lines and I want each line to end-up in a different RichTextBox, so:

Open File
RichTextBox1 = 1st Line in File
RichTextBox2 = 2nd Line in File
RichTextBox3 = 3rd Line in File
Close File

What am I not understanding? I've tried using LoadFile to load the whole file into another RichTextBox first as I got the impression that RichTextBoxes are indexed - but what I got was strings not .rtf format. I've also looked to see if there's an equivalent of the text-centric ".ReadLine" and nothing seems to fit the bill.

Reading A Specific Line From A Text File And Displaying It In Individual Text Boxes?

Feb 16, 2010

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.

Search A Text File Line By Line - VB08

Apr 8, 2010

I just joined this forum as I've been looking for a nice and serious VB forum for a long time

I'm having troubles making a program to search a text file line by line for a specific string.

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader("C: est.txt")

[Code]...

as you can see in the code its supposed to read a text file and if the line contains the same string as in the textbox then its gonna make a messagebox.

now the problem, if the line does not contain the specific string but the next or any line other line does, then it should automatically read the next line on "Else" and that's where I'm lost

for a "Readnextline" command or something like that?
