I have a text file that I'm reading into a listbox. I want to skip a line if it's blank. The following code works if I leave out the check for the line being blank. It puts the file in the listbox with no errors. However, when I include the If statement that checks for the line being blank, I get an ArgumentNullException in the Items.Add line when It gets to the end of the file.
'Read Multiline File

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

If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists("C:MenuFiles.txt") Then

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 have a text file containing lines of data (File 1). I need to delete all the lines in another text file (File 2), which are found in file 1.So I could read file 2 line by line. And then once the line has been read, read file 1 line by line to search for a match. But that's going to be painfully slow.Or I could read file 2 into memory. And then read file 1 line by line and REPLACE the lines in file 2 with nothing, therefore deleting them. File 2 could be 100 mb, so I'm not sure about reading it all into memory.

I'm trying to make a mastermind game program with visual basic. I started of creating the combination maker for the start of the game. Hoever, in my version i don't want any colors to repeat. I used the random function independently to get numbers from 1 to 6. Each number has a corresponding color. The problem, the values still repeat sometimes.
Here's my code for that part:

a = Fix(Rnd * 6) + 1
txtA = a

All I would like to do is remove one character from the line of the text file that I am reading, which is the first character and also prevent the program from crashing if no text file is present.Here is the code. Can anyone notice where I am going wrong? I thought the "if" statement would cover the crash but it didn't. Clueless, but sort of have an idea on the character removal.

Say I want to remove all lines that contain "hello". One way to do it is to read the whole files into memory and then operate. Often my files are big, 500MB. If I load them I got no memory. Will upgrading to a 64 bit computer helps? I have a big page file. Also I wonder how in the earth windows 7 and xp 32 bits can have very large page files anyway.

I know that Deleting a specific line in a sequential text file is impossible but instead copy the needed lines and not copying the unneeded ones to an output file .. killing the old one and renaming the new one with the same.. I can't make this step...
