I am trying to remove all whitespace from a text file and store each character into an array. Is there any way to combine all the lines together without leaving any whitespace? I tried the .replace method but it only removes whitespace for each line. It currently shows like that, but I want it to be 1 whole block of text without whitepace in every line:
[Code]...
I would like to pass a whitespace character by using the System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(" "), and System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(" ") , where " " is the whitespace Character required. What do I need to type (" ") to get a whitespace character passed.?
View 6 RepliesI'm really stuck on something, which, is probably easy, but I've blown hours trying to figure this out.I need to be able to remove 1 line from a textfile. I will always know exactly what line it is, as, it's the same "string" as a variable. So if my variable is called "removeThis" then I need to be able to Read through the textfile, find the line that is equal to the removeThis string variable, and then rewrite the whole textfile.
View 3 RepliesI am in the process of developing a VB.net helper application that will combine two text files into one, remove the extra blank lines, do some calculations and spit out a new and improved text file.
My question is: at the beginning of each file is a header row that starts with a "01". How does one go about removing all of the other "01" rows but leave the first header line?
So far, I have succeeded at removing all of the "01" lines, which isn't what I want but hey, I got it to work
I have been working on this for quite some time now. I have a listbox that loads the names from a .txt file. When the user selects names I need it to delete the items from the list. I have the code to remove it from the listbox, but when I reload the form it puts them back in because it's reading the file.
View 2 RepliesI know this has been asked like a million times, but I cannot seem to find a solution that works for me. I have a text file..and lets say its named Test.txt.I have like a list of stuff in the file and I have a Remove button. I also have a listbox that has the contents in the Test.txt file listed on the form_load. So basically to try to explain this better..what I want is to delete the line that is selected in the listbox when I click the remove button. Let me explain in an example.The Test.txt has the same contents as the Listbox..so say my list is like this:
Hi
How
Are
You
If I have Hi as my Listbox.SelectedItem then I would like to remove that line from the Test.txt. I tried to load the contents of the file in a TextBox too and I can search and find the text in the textbox and focus on it and highlight it but I cannot delete it from there too.
I am attempting to get my program to store its, in this case, a Url list in a text file. This should be relatively simple and so far it has been, writing to the document has been easy and it has all worked well, however, I have been trying to get my program to remove a url from this list too. To achieve this I have created a temporary text file, named 'FavouritesTemp.txt' and write the content of a listbox (with the target of the delete command removed from it) and then replace the old text document with the new one. But I keep getting an error from this - saying that a process is already accessing this file, even though I have just created it! I have attached a picture of my error and the code I am using underneath.
Code:
System.IO.File.Create(My.Settings.ProgramInfoStorePath & "FavouritesTemp.txt")
MsgBox("Created FavouritesTemp.txt")
Dim FavouritesWriter As New System.IO.StreamWriter(My.Settings.ProgramInfoStorePath & "FavouritesTemp.txt", True)

I'm trying to have a program remove lines from a text file if they start with a certain string. I haven't had much luck with this over the past couple of days so I thought I'd try and get some advice.

I am reading a list of IP's from a text file. After every procedure, the first IP (the first line) needs to be removed, and the new first IP will be read at the beginning of the next procedure. Basically, I just need to know how to get rid of the first line of a text file completely. For example, I'd like to go from this:

I am writing an app that writes notes, inserted by the user, to a txt file. The app saves that notes to a txt file, and when opening it reads the file and shows the already inserted notes. However, I want the user to be able to delete some of those notes...but I can't seem to do it...this is what I have:
VB
Dim file As New FileStream(data_path & "notes.txt", FileMode.Open)
Dim text As String = Nothing
Dim reader As New StreamReader(file)
[Code]....
It goes fine, but the text.Replace(value, "") line doesn't seem to work. I've also tried text.Remove(0) but it doesn't removes the line...it looks like it has no effect.
I have an Excel file that downloads automatically, but for some reason the binary XLS file contains some garbage HTML text at the end of it.
When opening the file in the Excel application, it shows a warning but proceeding will automatically remove the garbage HTML text.
However, I need to open the file programmatically. When doing so via
Dim wb As Workbook = Excel.Workbooks.Open(ExcelFileName)
It throws:
Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A03EC
a) Get Excel to perform a similar action as if I manually opened it and remove the garbage HTML automatically. NOTE: Tried setting the XlCorruptLoad.xlRepairFile parameter and it didn't work.
OR
b) Remove the garbage text from the XLS binary file (FileStream?) and resave it before attempting to open the file with the code mentioned above.
The garbage html always comes at the very end of the file and starts with
