Splitting Delimited Text File Into Array And Variables

Nov 16, 2009

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.

Splitting Delimited Text File?

Jul 20, 2011

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)

Splitting Variables Into An Array?

Jan 9, 2011

im already familiar with splitting variables into an array using a certain character e.g.

strtextfield = name,surname,dob
strpersonarray = strtextfield.split(",")
strpersonarray = (0)name
(1)surname
(2)dob

im wondering whether you can split one variable according to its characters e.g.

strtextfield = name
strpersonarray = strtextfield.split(unsure as to what char)
strpersonarray = (0)n

VS 2008 Delimited Text File Into Array()?

Mar 19, 2010

I have a text file with for example this data in it :

"19 Mar 2010","6:00","16:00","10","1","9","6.61","59.49"
"20 Mar 2010","9:45","19:15","10","1","9","6.61","69.89"
"21 Mar 2010","9:00","17:00","8","1","8","6.61","99.32"

I used " , " to delimit individual pieces of data and " " to denote end of line.I'd like to be able to split the files into lines and assign each line to an array then split each of those array strings into the comma " , " delimited data and feed each piece of data into another array ready for writing to a datagridview.

I've spent a while trying to get Split() to work but I get errors regarding converting strings to one-dimensional arrays Also the Split() method asks for a "ParamArray" but I haven't been able to find examples of other people providing them on the net any idea what those are about?

VS 2008 : Load A Comma Delimited Text File Into An Array?

Dec 19, 2010

I have a text file, with several lines of comma delimited data. The easy part is that each item fits into the same field, so I can use a 2 dimensional array. I would like to use .net classes to do this, not the old file handling functions I was used to.How can I take the text file and load the data in the text file into a 2 dimensional array.Here is example data in test.txt

1,1,1,2,2,2,1,1,1,3,3,3,4,4
2,3,4,5,1,1,1,2,3,4,5,1,1,1
2,3,4,5,6,1,1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4

So this would go into a (14,3) array.I would like to make sure, that the array is automatically sized to the size of the data also.

Converting A Comma Delimited File To Two Variables?

Jul 11, 2010

I recently asked a question about reading a file with Streamreader to variables arrays, but I made it more complicated than need be. Here is the simple version of what I am trying to do:

dim MyNumber(1) as String

strMyFile = 100,200 (I already have this)This is the result that I am trying to make happen:

MyNumber(0)=100
MyNumber(1) =200

I would also like the result to be MyNumber(0), MyNumber(1) as double, but I could do that in a later step. This is almost embarrassing to ask, because it is probably basic stuff.

Read A Comma Delimited File In To Individual Variables?

Sep 17, 2011

When I use to do some Delphi programming you were able to define variable as a target for a comma delimited file and then under that give variable names for each field to fall into. I forget the syntax now but it looked something like this...

Using Getline as Record:
RecordId = Integer
RecordName = String
RecordAddress = String;

Splitting Text From A TextBox Into An Array?

Sep 6, 2010

Im writing a program where im trying to split some text imported from a textfile into a textbox into an array.The array is undefined and i would like each piece of text to be an element in the array. I would then like to sort this information into alphabetical order.This is the code I have at present; I apologise if any appears to be out of sequence or whatever, VB is a rather puzzling language to myself!

PS i have the code behind a button as you can tell from the code.

Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
Dim textInput As String
textInput = TextBox1.Text

Splitting A CSV File Line Array Using Regex

Jan 5, 2011

I used to do a bit of coding in early versions of VB years ago but moved on to things like RPG400, CL and SQL on an AS/400 box. As I am no longer in this career, I havent touched an AS/400 for a while either.

I am currently working on a visual basic console application in Visual Studio 2005 which takes various csv files from an osCommerce web shop, processes them and writes the data to TAS Books accounts software with the aid of the Infoplex COM module.

I have 2 functions, one reads each line of a csv file into an array, and the second function uses Regex to split the lines array into the various fields before they are added to a structure.

There are something like 5000 records (lines) in the csv file, one example is as follows;

[Code]...

My problem is that due to the formatting of the product description in the example csv line above, it fails the Regex match and therefore fails to read.

I know this is because my pattern is wrong, but I'm not sure how to solve it, I think all I really need is for Regex to split the line by the "," between each element, this might be a little difficult because some of the descriptions contain both , and " but never one after the other.

VB - Splitting A String Into 3 Variables

Jul 11, 2011

I need to split one variable into 3 variables. For example I have a variable called Data and it contains AAA00000001. I need to have them be split between the "AAA", "0000000", and "1". I looked at the Split() function but didn't get a clear example for this situation. The reason I need to do this is because I want to store these 3 variables into fields for a MySQL database.

SQL Query To Tab Delimited Text File?

This is my first program that I'm trying to write. I have been trying to make an application to run a date filtered query against a SQL server and output the results into a txt file that I define. I believe that my code is close for getting the data. I cannot figure out how to actually write the data into a text file. I am trying to use the datareader and streamwriter, but I am not sure what to put in the streamwriter.Write() function to actually get it to past the lines in the text file.

File I/O And Registry :: Reading TAB Delimited File Using MS Text Driver

I am trying to import a TAB (NOt comma) delimited text file into a DataGridView. The following code works fine if I have a comma separated file. All I have to do is change the FMT to "Delimited".It just does not work with FMT=TabDelimited. All columns are read into single datatable column. The text file is ANSI text and I have double checked to make sure Tabs are tabs and not spaces, even exported a sample Tab Delimited file from Excel.Can this even be done using Text Driver? [code]

Putting Up Conditionals For Splitting A Text File?

Apr 27, 2009

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.

Splitting Data Read From A Text File?

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.

VS 2010 Splitting And Trimming Text File?

Apr 15, 2009

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.

Convert ArrayList To Delimited Text File?

Apr 30, 2009

I previously asked a question about my meeting planner app, and how to delete a specific entry in the array. Someone had the interesting suggestion of using a ArrayList, instead of a normal array. I am attempting to learn ArrayList, but to no good result. I can't even get the ToString method to work correctly to write what I want it to into a text file.[code]...

My plan is to have each of those three fields to have their own entry in the ArrayList, but when it is saved to text file, those three fields are comma delimited to a line for each appointment. Of course when the text is loaded, it will have to be converted back. Can anyone point me in the right direction or have any other method of going about this with the ArrayList?
