StreamReader/Writer - Loads An Entire Text File Into A Streamreader Variable

Jul 9, 2009

I'm writing a program that basically loads an entire text file into a streamreader variable, then reads this variable line by line and parses and writes a line into a new text file. I'm VERY new and my knowledge is mostly self-taught, but I can't seem to get out of this one. It works for smaller files, but it appears to reach a limit in characters at some point because in a file of 900 lines, it stops writing about halfway through 800 and there are no errors, the program actually completes and the message box pops up.

There are a few things with this code I already know I should fix, such as creating the new text file name, it's messy, I just don't know how.

Private Sub btnProcess_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnProcess.Click
Dim IndexValues As String()

StreamReader / Writer To / From A Text File?

Sep 28, 2010

I've Googled this for a long time but I haven't come across an answer...or I didn't realize it if i did. I need to create an advanced clipboard that will allow you to save 50 phrases for later use. It will have 5 tabs, 10 phrases on each tab with a button next to each phrase to copy. So, the user will open the program; click the appropriate tab then click the button next to a phrase to copy it to the computer's clipboard so they can paste it somewhere else.

Why Is Streamreader Not Reading Entire File

Jul 2, 2010

I'm having an issue with the streamreader. I had it working but I've changed something and it has stopped.

I have it in a Do While loop reading line by line, but it doesn't finish reading. It reads about 27 lines out of 4000, then stops.

I changed the contents of the file it was reading, but it's still just save as a txt notepad file.

I also changed how I tell it which file to open (UserSelection.T2) however it does open the file just doesn't finish reading it.

Doesn't kick back any errors, it just doesn't read the entire file.

Dim FSO As Object
Dim File As Object
FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Streamreader Limits - The Streamreader Works Fine Until The File Is More Than 100,000 Bytes Long?

Apr 19, 2011

I have a problem with a streamreader in visual basic 2008.I am updating a database from text files on an ftp server. The streamreader works fine until the file is more than 100,000 bytes long.It reads until it reaches this point and then just ends. No error message, it just reads to this point which happens to be 2 fields out of 6 in the database stream. My question is - does the streamreader have a limit? And if so what is a workaround?

conn = New SqlCeConnection(connString)

StreamReader/Writer Error On Close?

Mar 11, 2010

I was able to code a sub that opens a StreamReader and Writer. The Reader reads a *.txt file and the Writer modifies it line by line as it's entered into the memory then writes it to a temporary file which is then copied over the file that the Reader read.

The problem is that the StreamReader and Writer seem to fail to close.At first when I tested it I would get an error stating:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object

I put breakpoints in the sub to figure out where it's erroring out and it's erroring out when it does sr.close() and sw.close() (Reader/Writer.close())Here's the code for the sub. Maybe someone can tell me what I did wrong.

Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
If pDebugMessages = True Then MsgBox("Stream Reader/Writer initialized.", MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "Debug")

C# - Reading New Line From Text File Using StreamReader

Aug 24, 2011

What I have stored in my file is values related to an account. (Just testing, not going to be used commercially). What I need is to draw the values for the username and password, by going through each new line, but .peek() doesn't seem to work for me.

My block looks as such :
public string CheckAccount(string username, string password) {
StreamReader sr;
string filename = "H:\AccountInfo.txt";
string s;
string result = "";

My code doesn't read from the 2nd line onwards, it just hangs.

VS 2008 StreamReader Reading Certain Lines From Text File

Aug 15, 2010

I am in the process (slow process) if learning vb.net by trying to create a simple application that will read and write (save) chosen information to a text file.

File I/O And Registry :: Retrieving Data From Text File Using Streamreader?

Feb 15, 2012

I am making a simple application that will be able to store competition data into a text file that I have given a custom extension to on saving. Here is an example of the format that i have saved the data in.

Code:
[Comp_Name]Test Competition[Comp_Name]
[Location]Silverwood Lurgan[Location]
[Type]Teams[Type]

[Code]....

When i open the file, i want to redisplay the data in separate text boxes. Later on in the project i want to be able to search within the file for headings for example;

if "[Heat1]" is present then get all text between [Heat1] and [Heat1]

i am currently able to use the streamreader and open file dialog to retrieve the entire string of text fromthe however i am not sure how to go about getting the text between the headings I have used.

Looping Through A Text File Using StreamReader Causes A "Cannot Access A Disposed Object."

Feb 15, 2012

I have the following basic code to read a text file from a StreamReader:

Using sr As New StreamReader(FileData)
Dim line As String = String.Empty
Do
'Error occurs on the next line after looping
'past the *last* line in the file...sometimes
line = sr.ReadLine()
'Some code here to parse and process the line
Loop Until (line Is Nothing) OrElse (line = String.Empty)
End Using

I tried changing the Do Loop to Do While Not sr.EndOfStream I tried checking If sr.ReadLine IsNot Nothing and a few other things but I keep getting the Cannot access a disposed object. Object name: 'SslStream' error after all 105 lines have successfully been read and processed. This code has been working for a couple of years, but there seems to be some issue with certain files (recently) that is causing this problem.

I opened the file and I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. No extra blank lines, funny characters or anything of the like. Just a normal file with 105 properly formatted lines. So even know there is something about this file causing the error, I need to obviosly handle this programatically.

What can I do to prevent the sr.ReadLine() line of code from throwing that exception that I have not yet tried?UPDATE Upon reading the last line of the file, the 'EndOfStream' property on the StreamReader goes immdeatly to: EndOfStream: {"Cannot access a disposed object.Object name: 'SslStream'."} It never toggles to 'True'. This makes checking for this condition problematic.

I think I have figured out why this issue only occurs sometimes: if I add in a blank line to the file at the end, none of this ever occurs. It is only when the last line of the file contains data. Still, I should be able to handle this programatically. Telling the vendor supplying the file to always add a blank line at the end should not be the solution.

Use Filestream And Streamwriter / Streamreader To Have A Simple Text Box?

Oct 21, 2009

I am trying to use filestream and streamwriter / streamreader to have a simple text box where the text entered is written to a text file, and then a button can be clicked to read the file and present the text back to the textbox. It works, but the problem I'm having is that if i change the text to something smaller in length (less text) than what is currently in the file, then press the button to read the file, it still contains some of the old text that was previously in the file.

Dim strmReadFile As New FileStream(txtPath.Text, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read)
Dim readHandle As New StreamReader(strmReadFile)
'read the entire text, and set it to a string
Dim streamFileContents As String = readHandle.ReadToEnd()

IO StreamReader File Not Found - Error

I am reading a file from the default location. I request a file by name only using an InputBox. If the User types a file that does not exist I get an exception error. I want to be able to handle the problem by outputting to a list box that the file was not found. My Code is something like:

sr = IO.File.OpenText(fileName)
IF fileName <> "found"
Handle issue
Else

I want to run a check to make sure the file does exist in the default location but not sure how to get it done. I had seen the Public Shared Function FileExists but I am not quite sure how to make it work.
