I have a code which reads a text file through streamreader,selects what is important and writes the same to another fileusing streamwriter. The problem is that the streamwriter stops writing beyond a certain line and just doesnt write ahead.What can be the problem? Do I have to make two seperate files?
View 9 Repliesencountering a problem when trying to write data to a text file. If I put the output into a messagebox I can see it, but when I attempt to write it to a file it is just blank. What am I missing here? EDIT - This is just a simple winform that I specify a path to a local HTML file in Textbox1 and I'm attempting to parse some HREF tag data.

i need help with stream writer, i can get it read lines and stuff like that but now i need Streamwriter to write to a colour.txt file (already populated with data) and insert a line that isn't already in the file, into alph order eg combobox reads and displays list from txt file.
their is a colour thats isn't in the text file, so i would like it to take the colour from the combobox that was typed in by the user and place it into the colour.txt file in alphabetical order (these are car colours so their are 100's and 1000's per manufacturer, its not as basic as i want red blue black lol) i was able to find loads of data about streamreader but not so much about stream writer
I have thios code that will load a php file (text file) into a sting via streamreader then its supposed to find and replace a portion of the text and write the changes back out to the file via streamwriter. I put my code together and after running it look at the file and it's unchanged. After looking closer it appears the problem is the find & replace operation I am doing on the string. Here is my code:

I'm trying to write a CSV file with multiple fields. The data to be written is stored in a list(of string()). Using VB Filewriter.Write for each field, the process is real slow. Isn't there a way to format the data first and use Writeline once for each instance in the data store? Unfortunately, when I created a string with all the fields concatenated and separated by commas, the Writeline inserted quotes around the whole string. How do I prevent this behavior?
View 4 RepliesBasically all I need is my program to write a character(Ex: "1") in a certain position specified by me in a line in a textbox.
So so far my code is:
Dim sw As IO.StreamWriter = IO.File.AppendText("101.txt")
sw.Write()
And all i need to know is how i pick the position that the .write function writes.
I have successfully run a simple sql query in vb.net and basically wanted to know how I can export the results from the query to a .txt file? All I really know is that I should be using StreamWriter. "SELECT column1, column2, from table1 where column1 = '1'" to a .txt file? Would it be best to first bind the data to a grid or can I skip that step?

I have a Windows Forms application that is filtering out Visual Studio solution files.
I have the code thus far to search and find the correct files and to differentiate between VS2005 & VS2010 solution files.
Now I need to write/save these files so that I can retreive them all from the same location. I need to use Streamwriter but am not too sure how to code it.
I have included my source code so far and code for the Streamwriter write and save?

I have the following code, which I run everytime I want to add a new line to my text file, but it is deleting the previous data in the text file every time I do it.
Dim stFilePath As String = "C:file.txt"

Else
File.CreateText(stFilePath)
End If
Dim ioFile As New StreamWriter(stFilePath)
ioFile.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", DateTime.Now, "test message")

I am taking in two html files and creating one out of them. To do this I am opening the first html file and not writing out the closing </body> and </html> tag and opening the second file and not writing out the corresponding opening tags, as well as the <style></style>section. I start a streamwriter, and write the lines out to it, and then close the streamwriter. My problem is that the output file is filled with strange characters. I've tried opening the streamwriter with different character sets as the third parm, but all this does is change the characters to different strange characters.It says charset=windows-1252 at the tops of the input files (and the output files for that matter - since I'm just reading stuff in and writing it out - with the exceptions mentioned above).Questions;First, do you think I am properly approaching appending two .htm files together?Second, how can I eliminate these strange characters.

Dim fs As New FileStream("C:est.txt", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.ReadWrite)Dim b As New StreamWriter(fs)
b.WriteLine("hellothere") : b.Close()
b.close is necessary to save changes to the file, but then, fs will be closed, too. is there any method that does the same thing but doesn't close fs, like "b.save"???
VB 2005 now offers different methods to write/read a file, such as the File.WriteAllText, the My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText and the StreamWriter.Can anybody explain when is it better to use which method, which one is more efficient in term of memory/processor use and performance time?

How would I go about using the Streamwriter in VB.Net to create a dummy file of 64 kb? Did a search of the boards, but didn't run across anything
View 2 RepliesI have searched the web for an answer to this but can not find one anywhere. I have a program that will be sending text to different text files based on a selection in some combo boxes, I was wondering if it is possible to select the file path based on the combo box variables eg
if the user selects hello and then 4 in the combo boxes then the text will be saved to
w = New IO.StreamWriter("c:projecthello4.txt")
or if they select hi and 5
w = New IO.StreamWriter("c:projecthi5.txt")
i have tried setting 2 variables called a and b and trying to run the following
w = New IO.StreamWriter("c:project{a}{b}.txt") but this does not work
When there's no file path in the streamwriter constructor does anyone know the location the file gets output to?

building another command-line app and I need to generate a log file and write to it throughout the app's run, but the log needs to be named <work_order>_<device>.log - both of those are held in a text file and will change frequently.
I can extract them no problem, and use them in the log file, but can't get the log file to use them in the name.
so I have:
Using strDATA As New StreamReader(DATA_FILE)
Do While Not strDATA.EndOfStream
Dim eng As String() = Split(strDATA.ReadLine, "=")

PATH and WORK_ORDER are declared as Public earlier on as are PATH, LOG, TMP and CSV, this sub is also Public. I also need to use the log writer in other subs as well as WORK_ORDER and DEVICE.
I have 2 programs.
Prog1.exe is in folder1
Prog2.exe is in folder1/subfolder
When I execute this in Prog1,
Process.Start("subfolder/Prog2.exe")
Prog2 runs.
But...When I execute this in Prog2,
Dim sw as new streamwriter("1.txt")
sw.write("something")
sw.close
1.txt is created in folder1, and not subfolder.
I can do a easy workaround by passing the full file path when creating the streamwriter, but I just want to know if it's a bug or what.
Here's my code to add new lines to my text file:
[Code]...
When the button is pressed the line is written to the file just fine, but if I restart my application, which calls Refresh_OtherLog() onLoad, it displays the lines of the text file as one line with the traditional square character depicting a character return. Why is it not putting that new lone as a new line in the listbox?
I am writing each line to a text file:
Dim objWriter As New System.IO.StreamWriter(filename)
For Each x In tofile
objWriter.WriteLine(x)
Next
objWriter.Close()
Which works perfectly the only problem is is that when its finished it writes a blank line on the end of the text file which I don't want.
I have an issue with StreamWriter class. Basically, in an application running as a web service, I need to write info into a log file. When I send 2 web service calls simultaneously, the entries created in the log file are not correctly written. For example,
in call #1, ID 1 - xyz is to be written to the log file. In call #2, ID 2 - abc is to be written. When I viewed the log, it shows ID 1 - xyz & ID 1- abc. Looks like there's some memory data being shared and mixed together, even though it's totally 2 separate web service calls. From my understanding, each call (i.e. each will be process under a different application instance) should have its own set of memory allocation for data processing... If I am to make this application as a Console Application, it looks like everything is processed correctly.
So, im using streamwriter and i want to create a folder and then save the text file in that folder.Here is the code im using right now.Imports System Imports System.IO Public Class Form1 Dim nr As Integer = 0

Using sw As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(DateAndTime.Now.ToShortDateString & ".txt")Add some text to the file.
