Sorting Values In A Text File?
Jun 6, 2012
I know similiar question have been asked but they are a little different so here I go. Basically I have a game in which the user enters their name and they get a score. This name and score then get recorded when they end the game as follows:
Dim userdataSW As New StreamWriter("E:GameScores.txt", True)
strline = frmVictory.TempPlayerName & "," & frmVictory.TempPlayerScore
userdataSW.WriteLine(strline)
userdataSW.Close()
userdataSW.Dispose()
What I then need to do is sort these values in the text file from largest to smallest (based on the number not the name but I still want the name to be assosiated with that score) so I can have the top 10 scores appear in a hall of fame type thing.

Program : my game is a frogger port, you make the frog cross the road until you run out of lives. When you die, you are asked to enter your name and the name is appended to the end of file called names.txt, the final score is appended to the end of a file called scores.txt.Using the System.IO functions, i read the contents of each text file, and load the contents into two separate strings (one for names, one for scores. These two long strings are then broken down using Split() command, transferring the pieces into an array. (again 2 arrays - one for names, one for scores). The contents of both arrays are then loaded into 2 listboxes, 1 for scores, 1 for names.
Problem: i can sucessfully load the contents of both files, and display them side by side - but i want to re-arrange the scores so that they are in descending order. While doing this, i need to make sure that the player name matches up with the score - so the order of the names being displayed would have to be changed aswell. After spending many, many hours trying to do it myself i have had to give up - i'm clueless. My first issue is converting the score array into integers so that the array could be sorted, the second problem is then sorting the names so that the scores and names match up.

Ok so I know that you can sort by using a bunch of different sorting algorithms but I just am not sure how to start this off. I have written this code and just want to know if you can even sort this.
The program takes the users information in from text boxes from another part of the program and writes the information into a text file. So when the user clicks on this button it will display all the people that have entered in their names. I want to sort their last names alphabetticaly.

I am doing an assignment for my intermediate programming class. It is due tonight at 730. Anyways, I am almost finished, but I have run into a snag. I have this "bank application" and we are storing the info in a text file. However, whenever there is a deposit or withdrawal, the "accounts.txt" file is to be updated. All of the new account info is being written to a "Temp.txt" file and eventually will be renamed to the new "Accounts.txt" file. The problem I'm having is that it isn't writing non-updated account info to the temp file and I don't know how to make it do that while keeping the accounts in order and not rewriting the same account info more than once.
Here is the code for the entire project so far:
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
Private Sub btnProcess_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnProcess.Click
lstDisplay.Items.Clear()

I have been trying to create an application that will read in the contents of a text file, sort the contents, add together any similar Client-Matter codes (based on the first two field values) and then create a new text file with the summarized results. [code]The first two fields can be treated as one field for sorting purposes. The two 403049,000017 lines would add together the last field, and use the most recent date in the newly created file.For some reason, I can not get the new file with the results created. I added messageboxes throughout the code to see where I am going wrong - they tell me where the program is going. They seem to point to me that everything is working but still, no export file.[code]

I'm using Visual Basic Express 2008 and I need to upload and sort two data text files (notepad) in a listview box. It doesn't have to be a listview box I chose that because it has nice options for columns. Anyway I've got the code set up to open the dialog box and allow the upload of multiple files. I've also got it set up to show separate columns, movie titles and box office amounts, titles in one file box office amount in the other. What I nee sorting the data once it's uploaded so the movie titles show in one column and the box office amounts show in another. Currently everything is showing in the left most column. I'd like to be able to represent the data seperately also so I can format the dollar amounts into currency. Here's what I've got so far:
Private Sub LoadButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles LoadButton.Click
Dim DialogBoxResults As System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog

Every line starts with 56000 then the first key, the the second key and the rest of the line. I tried to use SORT, that's included with Windows. It does a pretty nice job, but i need to have my own function in case SORT is not available. The output should write 560001002001 at first.

I know how to open a file and use streamreader, I just don't know how to read one record at a time and move to the next one.

I am still trying to accomplish a tiny flatfile based database. So far everything works fine except for the fact that 'data records' are not sorted alphabetically. My 'data records' are saved in files and their filenames are used as ID. Now all the data are stored iin the files, so, my application reads out the values and adds them to the 'database'. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any way to sort this added data alphabetically by name - everything else works perfectly and I am almost finished, except for the sorting.

Just sorting a value and displaying them with original values. Procedure is displaying the sorted values in msgbox but in place of the original values, it displays the original values again.
Public Sub FlagProb2()
Dim Count() As Integer = {2, 1, 4, 3} 'Original Array
Dim SortedCount() As Integer = Count 'New array for sorted values of original array
Array.Sort(SortedCount) 'Sorting values
For j As Integer = 0 To Count.GetUpperBound(0)
MsgBox(SortedCount(j) & " , " & Count(j)) ' Displaying sorted and unsorted values

I have a problem with the auto-complete behaviour of comboboxes in VB.NET (with the .NET framework 2.0).I am using a combobox to type in numeric values, and its DropDown list to suggest possible numeric values. This list is sorted in ascending order, for example {"10","92", "9000", "9001"}.The combobox properties are set as follow:
AutoCompleteMode: SuggestAppend
AutoCompleteSource: ListItems
DropDownStyle: DropDown
Sorted: False
The DropDown list is simply filled like this:
myCombobox.Items.Add("10")
myCombobox.Items.Add("92")
myCombobox.Items.Add("9000")
myCombobox.Items.Add("9001")
When I don't type anything, the order of values of the DropDown list is correct, in original/ascending order. However, when I start typing something, the suggested values in the DropDown list get sorted (alphanumerically): if I type "9", the list of suggestions becomes {"9000", "9001", "92"}.I would like to prevent this behaviour to get the values of the list in the original/ascending order. I can't figure out how...A possible work-around would be to pad with zeroes the values in the list, e.g. {"0010", "0092", "9000", "9001"} but I would like to avoid this.

I used this code to find my first value
Do
myLine = myReader.ReadLine()
Loop Until myLine.Contains("*+*+* Top *+*+*")
Do Until myReader.EndOfStream
myLine = myReader.ReadLine()

I have been trying to find out how to do this for days now, so I am finally asking how. I am newish to programming. Here is my problem.
I am trying to extract x,y,z coordinates from a text file arranged as such:
x,y,z
x,y,z
x,y,z
etc.
I need to be able to extract the x column into an array, the y into an array, and the z into an array. I learned how to pull it into a string, and how to split for every line, but i don't know how to split after each comma and separate them.

I need to write values, mostly doubles into a text file in VB.NET. I ported the code from VB6, but the performance of the VB6 write#fileID, vars) in VB.NET, is very bad, it introduces a delay of about one hour. I have tried out the streamwrite, and its performance is good; it's actually faster than VB6 write.
I am using the write(string) method for the streamwriter, and I am concatenating the values using variable names as follows: streamwriter.write(var1 &","& var2 &","&....&","& var n &","). This version of write enables me to have more than one variable written to file per statement. The problem that I have is that the content of the file is incorrect, unlike the one produced by the slow VB6 write in VB.NET.
Is there a better way of achieving this requirement; preferably using the streamwriter? I cannot use the streamwriter.write(double), becuase I'll have to use multiple lines as I am writing about 800 vars in convergence test loops resulting in a total of just over 2 million writes.

How would I go about reading a textfile, finding values and using the values in the program?Now I want the program to read the text file, find [1], use the first line after [1] as value for a variable, and the second line as value for another variable. After that I will run some code with the values and then do the same thing again for [2] etc.
