View 1 RepliesAm writing a windows app using vb.net 2005. The app captures a string variable from the user. As each file within a directory is read, I want to match the stored string within each file. If I find a match to the string, I want a list box to be populated with the name of the file. I have added Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions and tried using the match collection.
For example: My direcotry has 5 text files. I want to match a string "PARENT" in the text of all these 5 files. The list box should output the name of each file where the string was found.

The following code allows words to be added to a listbox. Add the word to a text file and create a folder with the word as its name. The second part undoes the actions.If I try to delete the word immediately after adding it one of two things happen.
1.An error is reported stating the path cannot be found. Although the listbox index value is correct according to the code the error is pointing at that index +1.
2.The code continues to the point of requesting conformation to delete the folder, still pointing at the index value +1. I the action is confirmed the wrong folder is deleted.
However if I stop debugging, then run the code again all works correctly.Is it likely to persist when the application is compiled?

Does anyone know of a good function for finding key words in a Word Doc, and then putting that into a tag?

View 6 RepliesHere's some information on how you'd read it. First, you'd read in the file, where inFilename is the path to your text file, using FileStream to access the file, and StreamReader to read the data from the text file:
[Code]...
Next, you'd read the data from the text file into a string array, splitting the array on each new line character. (Each line in the text file is a new member of the array)
[Code]...
Now that you're done reading in the text file, you can close the streamreader and filestream so that the text file isn't still using resources or holding any type of lock(s) on the file

I'm using VB (visual studio) 2008. I'm trying to search a microsoft word file and select/copy text from it What i want to do
a. Search for a string/word in a text document(i.e "question)
b. When its found copy of text from that point to a point further down the document defined by a certain string ("a.")
c. after this is done it will continue to look for the next time the same string occurs (i.e. "question"") and continue as above?
