Stripping Contact Info From DOC File And Inserting Into Outlook

Jun 16, 2011

I'm essentially re-learning VB for the first time in 15 years to try and accomplish this task - I have a project to do for work which involves taking .doc files which contain hundreds and hundreds of names, addresses, e-mail addresses, and amounts they donated to the non-profit I work at, and inserting them into Outlook's contacts. I'm trying to piece together the bit I've figured out about Outlook/VB integration to do so, but unfortunately, most of the information I can find is the other way around - getting info FROM Outlook and inserting it elsewhere.

The doc file is essentially formatted like this:
FirstName LastName
423815 Central Park West
FirstNameLastName@Somthing.com
$3000.00
And repeat.

So for the email addresses, I obviously need to look for the @ and copy from the previous space or line break to the next - that's the theoretically easy part, along with the money donated, since I can similarly look for the $. The part that I forsee stumping me is, how to discern first and last name, and treat them accordingly, entering them into the right fields in Outlook? Same with the address.

Trying To Use 2008 Express To Export Outlook 2000 & Outlook 2003 Address Contacts Into Excel Or CSV File

Apr 20, 2009

I work for a somewhat large company.There are about 160 Windows XP Pro users. We are still using Microsoft Office 2000 for the most part.We have upgraded some users to Office 2003. We are not using Microsoft Exchange.I have to export every users' Outlook 2000 or Outlook 2003 Contacts into an Excel or CSV file every 6 months as a way of backing the Outlook Address Contacts.Currently I am doing this by physically going to every pc and manually exporting the contacts.This is a large pain.I am trying to find out if I can use or create a Visual Basic 2008 Express program or script that will export the contacts from Outlook and save it as an Excel or CSV file.The name of the file should be the same as the computers net name.It should be saved in the same location, on the network, each time.I am new to programming and new to VB 2008 Express.I do not know or have any code to start with.

Asp.net - Stripping Domain Name From LoggedInTemplate?

Feb 17, 2011

I have a .Net 4 web app that uses Windows authentication and all works well however there is one trivial bug that is driving me nuts!

Visual Studio puts together the following for displaying who is logged in

<LoggedInTemplate>
Welcome <span class="bold"><asp:LoginName ID="HeadLoginName" runat="server" /></span>!

[Code]....

The problem is though that this is displaying as <domain>/user rather than just the username which I am assuming it is pulling this value from

System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.Name

However I can't see anyway programtically to amend this?

Stripping Variable Names From Assemblies

Mar 29, 2010

I'm trying to reduce as much as I can my VB.Net assembly side, and I just figured out that all variable names were kept unchanged in the actual assembly. Since I tend to use pretty long var names, it adds up and, by running dotfuscator on my assembly, I could shrink it by as much as 10%.

Stripping HTML Function Within Text Areas Content

Mar 10, 2010

I'm writing a small program that loads a folders contained file names into a list box, you then double click one of the file names listed and it appears within the programs text area where the user may freely edit it. I then have given the users options to export the data contained within the text box to a word template. What I'd like to do is add a button which the user can click in order to strip away all the html within the text areas content. I found a solution but for some reason I can't make it work. There are no errors displaying nor does the program crash out, it simply isn't doing what it should be doing.

The function I'm using is below:
Function stripHTML(ByVal strHTML)
'Strips the HTML tags from strHTML using split and join
'Ensure that strHTML contains something
If len(strHTML) = 0 Then
stripHTML = strHTML
[Code] .....

I've used the below snippet in an attempt to put the function to work in the text box.
Private Sub btnHTMLstrip_click()
' calls function stripHTML, applies to text box
richTxtBox.Text = stripHTML(richTxtBox.Text)
End Sub
So, its not working as it should?

VS 2008 Reading Outlook And Outlook Express Data?

Oct 9, 2009

I'm working on an application that takes certain outlook email messages, saved as text files, and loads data from them into a database. It would be better if I could read the messages from the inbox directly into my app without the user having to save them as text files. I've searched the web and every example I find is from 2003 or earlier and is using VB6. I'd like to read both Outlook and Outlook Express Inboxes. Can someone either provide me with the code to do this or a good "recent" link with a tutorial?

File I/O And Registry :: Using The SaveFileDialog To Save Listbox Info Into A Text File?

I'm using the SaveFileDialog to save listbox info into a text file. The files save fine, but when you go to save the file, if you hit the cancel button, it will overwrite the previous file you saved, because it's name was the same and it seems to save the previous file as the new name for your next file. Is there any way to catch if the user clicks cancel, and then exiting the sub if they did?

Get (music) File Info Based Off Of File Path?

Jul 24, 2010

I'm working on a personal project and so far everything is going perfect. Almost. I have a problem with getting music file info based off of its file path. I.e. "

C:UsersUSERetc." The only things I would need from y'all would be how to get the song's Artist(s) and Name (maybe there's something similar to 'AxWindowsMediaPlayer.currentMedia.getitemInfo("Information")' without actually having to play the song?

After I get this information, I would like to know how to add it to a ListBox as this: "[Artist] - [Song Name]", but I can do the text part if I know the getting-the-information part and adding-the-info-to-listbox part.
