I am reading a text file with mostly alpha characters. the content is not really relevant but the size of each line is very important. The process I will feed this text to will require each line be no more than 50 characters. So I will pre-process the text and add line feeds to make sure that happens.I tried several VB.NET regex like ^.*$ but that doesn't really break up the lines by 50 characters. I would take the result and iterate through each match and then cut it up and write it to an object in memory. Can this be done with a single regex pass?Otherwise I will use a streamreader and on each line check the length and if <=50 write it out with a streamwriter. if >50 cut it up in sections of 50 and then use streamwriter.
A brief example of my text: 119 SMITH KATY AAAA F ZZZ X NB SX ET MILES,200/LM450
I have a problem I was hoping someone might be able to help with please. I am trying to read and interpret a .txt filewhich typically has a data line of the form:I want to be able to split each value, i.e. so I have:
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.
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 want to split each line at the comma and write the left side to a textbox and the the right side to another textbox. I'm close, with the code below, but I can only post results from the first line in the file. How do I loop this and append the text results in each of the textboxes.
Dim TempFile As String TempFile = "temp.txt" Dim sw As StreamWriter
(there is no limit to how many "this_date" lines or "//user input lines" there are in the file and additions are made often ) When I read the file in vb I wish to only capture the last "this_date" only as the rest are irrelevant.
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.
I must use streamreader to read text file line by line into array.
Here's what I've got.
Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click Dim numbers() As Double = New StreamReader(txtfile.Text) Dim numbersarray() As Double
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 have a list of random numbers in my text file.I read it like this.
Dim FILE_NAME As String = "C: est.txt" Dim TextLine As String If System.IO.File.Exists(FILE_NAME) = True Then

How can I separate that in to 2 listbox?In my ListBox1 I want add lines with starting number like this ( 0905, 0906, 0915, 0916, 0917, 0926, 0927 ) And in my ListBox2 is with numbers start with this ( 0909, 0910, 0912, 0918, 0919, 0920, 0921, 0928, 0929 )How can I compare lines by multiple choices like that?
Dim sFileName As String Dim srFileReader As System.IO.StreamReader Dim sInputLine As String sFileName = "D:UsersArbenDesktopSerieA.txt" srFileReader = System.IO.File.OpenText(sFileName)

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
the following code was to be entered to read each line of the file "line by line" It did not work for me as instructed and I am trying to understand why?
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click Dim FILE_NAME As String = "C:UsersOwnerDocuments est.txt" Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(FILE_NAME) Dim TextLine As String

I have a text file which is about 700MB it is very difficult to open this file but there are 5800 Chapters in the file every chapter is starting from "$$NEW$$" For example [code]I want to split the text file after every chapter ends any idea ?
I am having a perl script through which i achieve is split or output from text file for each single ID , the output text file will contain data of that ID and the anme of the file will be ID.txt so if i am having one main file containing 100 or 200 ID's and for each ID's may be 10000 or more lines i would like to have 100 or 200 files containing data for each single ID which i am able to achieve from perl but is it possible from vb.net

I am writing a program that lets someone click on a picture to vote for their favorite pet. The part I am stuck at is: when the application is opened and closed it needs to remember how many votes there were. To do so, when the program is closed I have the information stored in a .txt file. it looks something to the effect of:
