Removing Line Number Textfile Only If String Is At The Top?
Aug 8, 2011
I have not had much time to go threw my code properly as this is some urgency. I need to remove line 1 from a textfile if it contains a string but its not working.I have 500 files and not going to do this manually.
Code:
Private Sub btnRemove_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnRemove.Click
If String.IsNullOrEmpty(txtDirectory.Text) Then
OpenFolderDialogDirectory()
[code]....
I also feel the function is very pointless sime i am opening the file twice.

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 strSearch As String = Replace(MaskedTextBox1.Text, "-", "")
Dim strLine As String = Nothing
Dim strAllText As String = Nothing
[code].....

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?

When it find this "search.selectedEngine" term then it should delete that particular line and replace it with another string ("REPLACED STRING").

I am reading a textfile and extracting information from each line. For example string1 and string2. I am then writing these string to a datatable.
However, sometimes there will be repeats in string1 and string2.
If there are repeated lines I would like to be able to delete the repeating line and add a counter to find the total number of repeating lines.
so if a string repeates 3 times I would like there to be a column with a 3 displayed next to the line in my datatable.

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
Dim MainWindowLog As String = "V:Users(O.o)~(--_--)~(o.O)DocumentsVisual Studio

I'm making a function that is supposed to delete a line from a textfile "test.txt". I'm having no problems with finding what line i want to delete. The basic idea is this: read the whole file with streamreaderdelete the linerewrite the file with streamwriter. My problem is the last, how can i completely remove the file content, and write another string in it, writer.writeline just appends a line.

I am having trouble removing a line from a text file. When I click on the button in order to remove the line it gives me an error that access to the file is not possible. Now I assume that the file is in use during me wanting to change it and therefore cant save it while it is loaded in ht application. I have tried a few things but cant seem to get it to work.Essentially what it does is that I have another dialog that a used can add data, the data is then written to the file FilingLocations.txt and then it saves it and loads it again. But once the line is no longer needed I would like to have the option to remove the line agaise.
Here is the code:
Private Sub cmdRemoveLocation_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdRemoveLocation.Click

I have a program that reads a text file tab delimted using OLEDb I need to be able to allow the user to insert a user created record into the file which I can do. The problem is I need to be able to let the user edit that record. From my understanding you can not edit or delete with OLEDB only insert So I thought I would read the file using stream reader, find the line I want to edit and just delete it, rewrite the file, then let the user insert a new record?

I have some coding which displays a label if the value of a textbox matches the first value of each line in a textfile.
Dim sList As New List(Of String)(IO.File.ReadAllLines("Path"))
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To sList.Count - 1
[Code]...
The problem is if the textbox has 1 and the textfile has 11 it will display the label, what would be the best way around this?
I have tried sList(i).Contains etc but none of them are doing the job.

I have data which can be put inside listboxes, I then proceed to save the data into a textfile then attempt to load it. This all works great until a number of over 1000 appears because it's read as 1,000 and VB thinks the Comma means to go onto the next field.
'put record into the line in correct format
sLine = sCallCentreOperatorID & "," & sCallCentreName & "," & sQuoteNumber
sRecord = reader.ReadLine

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.

i know i have to use a loop to get each line of the textbox onto a newline of a textfile but i dont know how to figure out how many lines of text the user has entered into a textbox. I tryed using a try statment to loop until it errors, it seems to work sometimes but other times it only takes half of the textbox and adds it to the textfile. And if atmaweapon reads this, i tryed to make better names for variables. Here is my code,
Code:
Path = ("Meals" & ComboBox1.SelectedItem & "" & TextBox1.Text & ".txt")
File = New System.IO.StreamWriter(Path)
If ComboBox2.SelectedItem = "1" Then
[Code]....
how many line of text there are... im not so shure how good it is to run a loop tell it errors for a textfile, but its the only way i could think of.
