Search Text File, Return Whatever Is In " " On Same Line
Feb 28, 2011
I have the following problem where in VS2005 VB I am returning all text in a text file to a rich textbox for preview purposes. Once I have returned this I am searching for a specific word (sv_hostname) and I need it to return a different result (Server name Here)on the same line to a text box. For example: Test file contains lots of lines where one of the lines would look like this within the text file.
set sv_hostname �Server Name Here�
I want textbox1 to only show Server Name Here The user must then be able to modify this and append this to the text file/rich textbox.
My Code so far:
vb.net
Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
Dim ServerName As String
[Code].....

I'm trying to search for text that is known to be in a TextBox.
Once it is found, I want to return the line number it was found on.
Also, I would like to know how to delete all blank lines from a TextBox.
These two problems have been plaguing me for the last 2 days.

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?

I'm new here, but have been in and out for a while. Past threads have been helping me along thus far.
I'm currently developing an app which essentially needs a way for me to search in a text box or file for a specific string, and extract the line on which that string appears on. It will be unique, and the syntax is the same on each line. It has basically 2 ID numbers, and is laid out like this:
123456|123456
So, I'd need to search for the first part before the |, and then get the line so I can get the bit after the |, which is the important bit for me.

I would like to read an HTML file, search each line to see if it starts with </head>. Then add the centering code after it. That line at destination file should read:
</head><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" width="760"align="center"><tr><td>
After this I don't care to search for anything. Just read from source and write to destination. I know there are programs out there to find/replace text in series of files but I am not allowed to use external programs.

I am making an application that will save all the names of the movies in my "movies" folder on my computer. I am able to make a list of all the names quite easily, but how would it be possible for me to search The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) for the title of the movie, click on the link of the name of the movie and grab information of the movie off the imdb database (Run time, rating, and plot?)

I have sucessfully written in excel VBA. The idea is to used the textbox1_change event to find a match in column A of table and once it finds the record, return the value of column B as label1.text. [code] In VB 2008 it's a lot different. I have set up the form the same way with the textbox and labels. I have made a dataset with (1) table (Table1) with (2) columns. Lets call them column A and Column B.I have added the dataset as a binding source to the form and also a table adapter. I also have a standardized query made for the dataset with a very simple SQL statement "SELECT Column A, Column B from Table1"..In order to get the user input to start searching Column A I assume under the textbox_change event i would put something like: [code] I'm getting a bunch of errors of course. Would somepne be able to give me some direction?

Using VB 2008 with Access database I'm trying to make a search field (txtSearch), but I'm not getting success with code in the button (cmdSearch). I'm making this manually, not using the Query Builder, and the result will be displayed in a datagridview (added to the form dragging the table from the Datasource Panel). So, the datagrid is already populated (with no SQL). What code must I use for the cmdSearch, to return the txtSearch.Text (or part of it) in the Datagridview? I've tried this: "Select Product, Price, Quantity FROM tblProducts WHERE Product LIKE txtSearch.Text & '*'" (but it doesn't work).

I'm using VB.Net and I am creating a mobile application. I have a checkbox that the text needs to be on more than one line. I've tried everything including setting the text property on the load screen function and using the vbCrLf and I just see the Line feed square but not multiple lines. I've also tried resizing the box and that didn't work either. how to make the text span multiple lines?

I'm using Visual Basic express 2008.The application I am working on is the first major project I have ever undertook with visual basics. The application is a launcher for a private server for world of warcraft.I have a menu bar that pulls the file path of the wow.exe and puts it in a hidden textbox, I then have another option that saves this text to c:wowexe.txt. All of this works GREAT!
How can I read the .txt file to end and return the information stored in the .txt file to this line of code.
Dim RetVal
RetVal = Shell("This is where I need the data from the .txt file to be seen", 1)
If your wondering why I don't just type in the path of the .exe, it's simple, not everyone installs World of Warcraft on the C drive.

I've been looking through the FCL for a method that will allow me to erase a line of text from a text file and replace it with another line of text. Neither the StreamReader nor StreamWriter have a method for replacing or removing Text from a text file, as does the string object. Are there any available methods for erasing just certain lines of text from a file, and then replacing them with others?
In my code, I'd like to locate a certain line in the text file, and then at that point in the text file, use a For...Next Loop to replace each successive line of the text file with new text:
Dim user_data_file As String = "user_data.txt"
edit_input = New StreamReader(user_data_file)
Dim edit_line As String = edit_input.ReadLine
[CODE]...
However, I can't find any methods that will allow me to do this.

I was hoping someone could assist with the following coding; I am trying to search a very large csv file (approx 200,000 lines) for a user defined string eg "0100020789" and I essentially want to print all the lines that contain this to a text box on screen. Please not that the csv file does not have standardised column headings, each line is different. There would be approx 5 lines that contain the input string.
I am concerned with the v large csv i am using which will prob slow everything down, but then I thought if simple text pad application can search for a string in complete files with similar sizes like that and return a result in less than 1second, then it must be do-able.

Using vb.net/asp.net 2005
I am trying to create a string message for an email that I am sending out from my asp.net page like so:
For Each dr In dtDataTable.Rows
strMessage = strMessage & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & Environment.NewLine & dr.Item("UserName") & Environment.NewLine
Next
so I am looping through a datatable and getting each name from each row, that is working well but when I get the email it appears in my inbox with all the names mashed together, you see I am trying both vbcrlf and newline but looks like neither is working

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.

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

I have to create a new program that reads to Text files. These text files are in the form of a report (with column headings). The purpose is to compare each record line by line to see if their have been any changes made. The record is based on an Account#. Over time these files will be considerably large. What is the best way to do compare records from each file. I'm thinking loading each file into an array and processing them that way.

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

under the code I pasted at the top, but I get the text on line1 in all labels, like all labels become 1, while the text should be 1, 2, 3 and so on. So anyone can help me do that, each label gets the value of the next line in the txt file
