Searching Multiple Files In Multiple Sub-folders

Mar 30, 2010

I'm developing an application to help law enforcement retrieve and analyze logs and other files left by the use of Pidgin (a multi-protocol messenger client). Right now I'm nearly done, but I want to add the ability to search chat logs for user-defined words or phrases and I don't even know where to begin.

Chat logs are stored as html documents in a folder/sub-folder/sub-folder/sub-folder fashion, where each sub-folder can have dozens of sub-folders inside of it, and the final sub-folder can have dozens if not hundreds of chat logs. If anybody could point me in the right direction, I'd be very grateful.

(Also, this is the first program I've written since about 2005, and I'm essentially teaching myself VB as I go. If you'd like to see what I've cobbled together so far, you can find the program here.)

Asp.net - Implement Security Trimming With A Website With Multiple Folders And Multiple Web.config Files?

Jun 18, 2012

I have a website that has highly granulised access and hence requires many web.config files. The problem is I would like to trim the menu so that only certain users will have access to certain folders. I have enabled trimming and setup roles in the sitemap, however when I access the page the menu is not show, as I am authorized to view the default page which is not in a subfolder. When I type the url of a page in sub folder's I have access.

How should I handle this:

A site map for each web.config file - don't know how this will work Removing the sub web.config file to only use a single one

Email When Files In Multiple Folders Exist Aged 15min Or Older?

Nov 17, 2011

I have a list of directories that get files added to by other users on my network.I would like a script (triggered by scheduled task) that would detect if there are files in these folders older than 15 minutes, and send me an email. I am able to run Batch/DOS, Python, Perl, or VBS - I have them all installed on the server. As long as they can be triggered from Scheduled task.

Example:

C:UsersFTPJoeSFromCustomer <files dropped here>
C:UsersFTPMarkFromCustomer <files dropped here>
C:UsersFTPRobbieFromCustomer <files dropped here>
C:UsersFTPTammyFromCustomer <files dropped here>

VS 2010 - Keeping Files / Folders Synchronized Across Multiple Client Computers

Aug 10, 2011

(Currently using VB.NET 2010 Express) I'm trying to make a program, the main of which is file transfer. I'm trying to create a program that will keep files and folders synchronized across multiple client computers. I'm using a File system watcher to trigger events, and Using a simple System.Net.Sockets UDP client transfer (found via google) to transfer commands between it and itself on other computers.

Here's that code (this just sends from one textbox to another over the internet)
Imports System.Net.Sockets
Imports System.Net
Imports System.Text
Dim udpClient As New UdpClient(1024)
Dim RemoteIpEndPoint As New IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 0)
[Code] .....

By this method, I can rename, move, or delete files. I want to implement file transfer, so that whenever a new file is created, or updated, my program will automatically transfer the file to the other computers and update them there.

COM-Visible And Multiple Folders?

Jul 20, 2010

I have built a com object in vb with the "Make Assembly COM Visible" that I use from the strange dialect, "Clarioneese." I maintain 2 versions of our main software, so I have 2 folders, one for each version.My COM object works from one of the folders, but not the other. I copied the exposed dll into both. I used regasm on the copy in the nonworking folder, but still, my Clarioneese programs can only work it if run from one folder, and not the other.Working Folder: C:cs46exe (I didn't name this, don't blame it on me)Non working folder: C:cssqlsdkv6 (I inherited this awful folder structure)If I move an exe built by Clarion into the cs46exe folder, the dll works, but not in the v6 folder.I thought I understood how this works, but I guess not. You can't be successful at this unless you're at least 1/2 a bubble off level.

Compressing Multiple Sub Folders?

Oct 26, 2011

I've written a backup utility for one of our applications; this process involves coping sub directories of a specified base folder and an unknown number of folders within folders. I've got the process down to copy the files and directories pretty easily but I want to compress the folder structure to keep the space needed as small as possible.I've found a few utilities that work well for getting the files from the specified base folder but not any of the folders that exist in the specified start directory.The one utility I found required me to recursively search directories for the variably named directories and I am hoping for a simple switch that can be used that says base folder/file and sub directories.

Code Searching - No Control Over Multiple Uses

Mar 25, 2009

Though I know your site ask for some effort on my part im not exactly sure where to start.. I know how to code some decent things and such but recently I wanted to make a serial code system.. What Im looking for is to have a list of Serials on my website (possibly through MySQL? Or something simpler Not sure on this either) I know about the obvious

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If TextBox1.Text = "BLAH123" Then
MsgBox("Valid Registration key. Thank you")

[CODE]...

But I do not like this system as I have no control over multiple uses. I want to pull the keys from my website (hell through a notepad if its easier) therefore allowing me to delete and add serial keys as needed..

Read A File From From Multiple Folders In VB 2010?

Dec 15, 2011

I'm currently making a program in Visual Basic 2010 for my Course work, and I'm struggling a little as it involves a "log-in system."

The system will save the Users Information in a folder (Called UserInfo.txt) (Address, Password, Email etc..), and the folder name being the username of the User.

When an Admin wants to view or edit a User, I want the Admin to be able to select the User from a drop-down list and when selected, the information of the user loads in and is displayed in the text boxes bellow (on the same form). The Information can then be edited and Saved back to the file of that user selected with a "Save" button.

Searching A Set Of Data With Multiple Terms Using Linq?

Mar 17, 2010

I'm in the process of moving from ADO.NET to Linq. The application is a directory search program to look people up. The users are allowed to type the search criteria into a single textbox. They can separate each term with a space, or wrap a phrase in quotes such as "park place" to indicate that it is one term.

Behind the scenes the data comes from a XML file that has about 90,000 records in it and is about 65 megs. I load the data into a DataTable and then use the .Select method with a SQL query to perform the searches. The query I pass is built from the search terms the user passed. I split the string from the textbox into an array using a regular expression that will split everything into a separate element that has a space in it. However if there are quotes around a phrase, that becomes it's own element in the array. I then end up with a single dimension array with x number of elements, which I iterate over to build a long query.

I then build the search expression below:

query = query & _
"((userid LIKE '" & tempstr & "%') OR " & _
"(nickname LIKE '" & tempstr & "%') OR " & _

Selection Of Multiple Folders At A Time / Scrollbar Position?

Jun 1, 2010

A couple of questions about the FolderBrowserDialog in VB .NET Express 2005...
1. How can I make it so this control allows selection of multiple folders at a time?
2. It remembers the folder I selected last time (in the same session), and highlights that folder, which is good, but that selected folder appears near the bottom of the window. Is there a way to make it so the previously selected folder appears in the middle of the window (i.e. the scroll bar is further down the window)? See screen shot attached for how it currently looks when the window opens.
