Splitting Data Read From A Text File?
Jan 10, 2012
I am exporting a directory list from a FTP directory to a text file, I would like any suggestions how best to read and split the information detailed on each row in the text file as information isn't Tab Delimited (which i have code for if it was) and the number of spaces between each attribute is different. Below is a snippet of the text file, the main two I require is the File Size and the Filename.

I've got a problem reading in a Tab-Delimited text file. There's an extra tab in one of the fields its reading it thats not a delimiter, and it's throwing off me reading the file into a table. This specific file does have quotations around that field though.
What would be the best way to take that tab out before splitting the row by vbTab?
Im reading each line in the text field like this, splitting on vbTab. X is a string array
text = x(J).Split(vbTab)

I am currently trying to develop an algorithm for the following problem: Read data from a text file such as: the driver returns on his glorious day. He's very happy to be safe and.sound at home, with his wife. With that data, i need to print the length of each word in the file and the total number of words in the file. But symbols such as . or , or ' cannot be included in the word length.

I have a file that has > 10 rows. I want to create 9 files that each contains equal number or rows, with the 10th file containing that equal number plus any left over.[code]...
How can I take oDataList and parse it into 10 files without having to loop through each file and oDataList to write line by line?

I have I text tab delimited file. in every line of that file at the same position in every row of the file I will have a bit that I would want to compare against 23 values (I will call them criteria). So if on every row the string I need matches one of tjhese values then that row will be written in File1.Txt if that value doesn`t match any of the criteria the whole row will be sent to File2.txt.
So far managed to get the original file written in the same format in a newly created file.
how to get the functionality I described working but am stuck with correct syntax.
Here is what I have so far:
Dim fs As New FileStream("C:Original.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
RichTextBox1.Text = ""
Dim d As New StreamReader(fs)
[Code]....
Now I will need to declare every single row in RichTextBox1 as String then will have to get the bit I need will have to declare that as well(I will need from every row the string taht is between characters 96 and 104), also where do I keep the 23 criteraia values.

I have a large tab delimited text file to process each day (usually around 25 mb) consisting of usually well over 100,000 lines. The file is actually made up of about 9 or 10 reports separated by "END OF REPORT". I'm wanting to write each individual report to it's own text file. Some values may have trailing spaces or even contain nothing but spaces, so I am wanting to trim those to only the data, or be left with null. Ultimately each report will be imported into sql server tables. The code I have below runs successfully to completionwithout error although each text file is empty. The script is also extremely slow and seems to use quite a bit of memory. The arguments are ad

I only want to place the numerical data in an array. At the moment I have the following code to do this. [Code]. This code places the numbers in the data array when there is not any text in the file, i.e. when there are no headers. I would like to place the headers in another array, and then have the numbers in the array as in the code above.

I am new to the forum and would like some guidance on how I can achieve the following. I would like to read data from a text file after which I want to do a simple calculation that totals one of the columns.
I have already been able to read the text file into a text box but firstly I'm not quite sure if this method of using the text box is appropriate and secondly how do I sum a column of data?

I have a delimited text file, let's call it models.txt and it's delimited by a comma with carriage returns.
example:
21,Z920081
22,Z920082
59,Z930023
120,Z930027
I'm trying to input this into an array and then a combo box using:
dim item as integer
dim array() as string
dim ifile as integer
[CODE]............
What I want to do is to display the right part of the delimited text (Z920081, Z920082, etc) in the combo box. But when you select the item in the combo box, I want it to use the left part of the delimited text (21, 22, 59, 120, etc) as a variable for other use.

There r 7 numbers in each row and need to read each of that and store it as an integer value ...I tried the following code..
Imports System
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Collections[code].....
This works and is showing each number by number ...But is there a way to store each number to another variable...something like a(1)=1, b(1)=0...., a(2)=2, b(2)=0......

I have a text document that contains a bunch of data sets. However before each data set there is a number surrounded by brackets. I need to go instance by instance of brackets and pull the number between the brackets and the lines after the brackets until the next bracket. Here is an example of the text file that contains the data. I know how to read from a text document, do substring, do contain function, etc... I just am extremely stumped on how to do this. Here is an example of a couple entries of the text document...
[4188]
LongName=
ShortName=
LauncherDirKey=
[Code]....
Notice how different sections have a different amount of lines therefore a reading a fixed number of lines is not an option.

I have managed to access and read a specific file line by line. If I wanted to split information by a comma or space and then sort alphabetically or numerically, how would I go about this procedure? Would I create a loop within the reading loop to parse the information?
Dim file As String = "C:Users est.txt"
Dim Line As String
If System.IO.File.Exists(file) = True Then

I'm currently making a program that will be used to practice German. It reads from textfiles that have English words (noted by # prefix) and German words (noted by $ prefix). An example of this:
#hello $hallo
#good $gut
#evening $abends
The way it currently works is it loads a text file, finds all # and splits to an array called "English" and finds all $ and splits it to an array called "German" What I want it to now do is feed the "English" entries into textboxes on the left, and "German" onto textboxes on the right so I can then match them out and make a sort of memory game out of it. Unfortunately, I don't know how I would loop an array through multiple textboxes. Conveniently, the textboxes on the left have even numbers, and the ones on the right have odd. Is there a way to possibly find all evenly numbered textboxes and loop "English" array entries into them, and the same for "German"? I've realised this has now gotten a little convoluted, but hopefully somebody understands. I can screenshot the form for better explanation, and copy my existing source code if anybody wants it.

I'm using vb.net 1.1 to develop the program. I got text files that contain test result from a machine, like below.
T1 1.24535 2.56335 2.43253 1.24538 2.55619 4.35243
T2 1.42542 1.63728 3.57295 4.59275 1.57320 2.72057
T3 5.12857 2.45375 6.38593 2.58375 3.57259 3.57204
I need to check the test result with the data from database, to find out which test result is failed. If there is a fail test result, I will show an alert to the operator and stop the checking process. Until the operator close the alert, then the checking process will continue from the last read point.
