I am making a program that loads files into a ListBox, loops through each one, and if the last line of the file begins with "@", it removes that last line.Now, I am not really sure how to do this.Would I use LineReader?How would I check the first character?
View 4 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'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.
This is the code that I've tried most recently, and makes some sense to me, but gives a "A first chance exception of type 'System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException' occurred in mscorlib.dll" error:
Dim SourcePath As String = "C: est.txt"

fileLines = New List(Of String)(File.ReadAllLines(SourcePath))

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:
1.1.1.1:80
2.2.2.2:80
3.3.3.3:80

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'm trying to remove a line from a text file that begins with a set value.
The idea would be to paste values into a Windows form, which then finds each line that begins with that value (a 5 digit number) and removes those lines from the file, and then removes the gaps.
This is more of a mathematical problem than programming problem.I have created a very basic 3D engine using Visual Basic .Net. It displays lines on the screen with an additional z axis. The engine works, however when part of the line goes below 0 it messes up and starts drawing the line inverted again.
This is how it calculates the points:
y = (point.y / z) + offset.y + camera.y
x = (point.x / z) + offset.x + camera.x
Can anyone work out a way to only draw part of the line when it intersects the z=0 axis?

How can I remove the last "," from mstrResult Now? (it is in the middle of that mstrResult and it is not the last character of the whole string since I am appending strings to it)I should do it before adding the newline.
I had a quick question. I'm desiging a program that users can enter a currency (dollar amount) in a textbox. Since the string I declared will be based on what the user typed in and I want to convert it to a decimal, I want to remove a "$" sign if the user made one.

I am still very new to VB. I am having trouble working out how to remove lines within a rich text box, based on the next new entry into the rich text box.
For example:
rtbClient (the rich text box) already has the lines:
long cat is long
he really is
long cat is long
Now, if the next NEW entry into the rich text box is "long cat is long", then the new "long cat is long" string would be ignored because the line previous (and only the previous line and not all lines that already exist) is exactly the same. Note, I know of the Me.rtbclient.Lines = Me.rtbclient.Lines.Distinct.ToArray code, iv tried playing around with it with no luck.

In other basic dialects you can add a comment after it, but not in VB.net, so I'm curious as to why Microsoft decided to not allow comments on these lines.

Any way to remove this problem I have in VB2010. I've done a picture box, where you can draw lines by clicking with your mouse. There is a label running along with the mouse pointer, but every time the cursor moves over the line, the label removes the line under it. I've tried setting transparent background to the label.

I'm trying to build an app that would search a text file for a string entered by the user, and delete the line of text containing that string. Here's the code I have. The code works, but since I'm relatively new to VB and programming as a whole, I was wondering if there's a better method out there. he strFilePath is handled by the openfilediaglog

Dim strLine As String = Nothing
Dim strAllText As String = Nothing

I have strMyString that contains about 5000 lines of data. There are some lines of data that need removing if they contain a certain string, such as "http", "www.", ".com", "cat", "fish", etc. The whole line needs removing. Each line is separated by a vbNewLine or similar.
How can I do that? Does it need pasting into a rich textbox first before processing?
