I have a whole bunch of files, which I would need to search for error codes and # of instances it occured. I tried ReadAllLines of File.IO but that just gives # of lines. How would we search for string within a file and count its instances?
View 4 RepliesDose anybody know how I can tally instances of a particular text occurrence within a txt file using VB.net. Better explanation if I use a textbox and type in a text how I can use VB.net to search a txt file for that piece of text and return the amount counted in another textbox or label.
View 2 RepliesBelow is what I've been using. While it does work, my program locks up when trying to count a rather large file, say 10,000 or more lines. Smaller files run in no time. Is there a better or should I say faster way to count the lines in a text file?

Can anyone think how to read how many lines will be written to a txt file via streamwriter?I know i can do a count and increment on each writeline but maybe someone knows how to countlines from streamwriter?
View 2 RepliesBasically, every time an entry is made - all of the proper data gets put out to a central Listings.txt file and then a specific .txt file for that area. When the user enters the recall form, they can view the listings for all or whichever area they've selected. That works quite fine. However! We also need to include a summary of how many are in each section. Not thinking properly, I started to do this with a counter - until I realized that a counter will lose its value once the program shuts down. My current idea is to count the number of lines in the text file (it outputs 8 lines per listing, so everything would be in values of 8) and then divide that by 8 - but after some searching I haven't been able to find a piece of code that will allow me to get an integer that relates to the amount of individual lines in the file.

I know that if the file is on my pc I just do this:
Dim lines As String() = IO.File.ReadAllLines("C:mytextfile.txt")

View 4 RepliesThe user inputs a serial number in a form, the program searches a specified text file on the internet for that serial number, and if it is there then the program runs normally, but if not it exits. I already know how to do the trial part of this program and I know that this is not secure as someone could just hack it and find the text file and read the numbers, however this is for school and is not commercial. The only thing I need to know is how to search a text file for exact text that has been inputted by the user. I've been trawling the internet and I've heard of something called instr or something, but I'm not sure.

View 2 RepliesTrying to write an app to load a Text file and then search for substrings that contains some specific characters to compose a list. Tried first loading the text file into a StreamReader then search line by line for my substrings. Had to write a lot of code to identify my strings, but it worked ok. Then tried loading the text file into a RichTextBox then use RichTextBox.Find(......) to look for my substrings. The " .Find" property makes the code really simple, but using RichTextBox the app was really slow.
Using Stream the loop was completed in about 2 minutes and using RichTextBox in about 30 minutes! I will need to make a lot of searches and using RichTextBox is lots easier, but is too slow. Is there any way to perform search operations using Streams instead making a loop and go looking line by line??? Or what else would be a good solution to search for strings in a text file??
I got some code that im try to make search and text file and replace it. The code im using to replace it with is whatever the user entered in txtURL.text. Here is what i have

oRead = IO.File.OpenText(strFile)
result = Replace(oRead.ReadToEnd(), txtURL.text, "1F.php")

Is this writing it back to the file also....I think that might be the problem, not sure..
