I need to check whether a file is open so that an alert can be put on screen for the user to close it before continuing to the next stage of the application.

I've got an application that reads a XML file via a stream reader. The problem is I can't edit my XML file and save it when others are using the application that is using the XML file at the time. how can i get around this?
View 1 RepliesI need to create an application that reads numbers from a file. it then should display the total of the numbers, display the average of the numbers, display the highest number in the file and display the lowest number in the file. We are using visual basic 2008. I am new to this and stuck . How do I begin. I included the number set that we are supposed to read from.

The code below reads each line from a file and if the conditions become true it adds the contents of the file from the particular line and after into a string collection (i.e. the All contents). This is what at least what the code should do as the current one only adds the line that it encounters into the string collection.

I have to make a program that reads a txt file after reading it, show it in a richtext box and in another tab make the average of the grades the input received sort it by the student id and then in the same rtb sort it by the average of their grades, and finally save it on a new text file.
The text file input is something like this
12 3 10.0 6.9 7.3
19 2 6.7 9.3
10 3 4.5 9.3 4.5
[Code]...
As you noticed in the input the first number is the student ID, the second number is the number of tests made by the student, and the other 3 numbers are grades, in the output the first number is the student ID, the second number is the average of the tests, and the other 3 numbers are grades, I don't have a problem opening and saving a text file and neither creating a tab with 2 RTB , my problem is how do I tokenize or read the input line by line, i guess that i need to use the split function but I don't know how to implement it into the program.
I have the following code, which reads data from xml file and displays it in the datagridview. It all works fine:
[Code]...
Instead of showing read data in datagridview, i'd want to read the data from xml file into one dimensional array: X(Impedances) Or is there a way to read value from this datatable into string variable without getting data from datagridview? The point is: i'd want to scan through all "Impedance" values (which are read from xml file) and compare with value y to catch the nearest value to y. How to do that?

I am working on a VB Console Application that takes an Autocad drawing type DWG and converts it to a PDF using a shell command that calls a third party application. In this case, acmecadconverter.exe from www.dwgtool.com. Then the PDF that is created needs a unique watermark, so I call a second application for that called pdftk.exe from www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/.
Everything works as intended, except when I try file names that contain spaces. The file system object does not tolerate spaces in the drawing file name. For instance, the following command gives me a system.io.filenotfoundexception...
My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile("Test Flowchart1.dwg", "Test~Flowchart1.dwg")
It's the same problem for all of my File System commands. Either file not found or invalid arguments.

Im trying to come up with a do while statement that reads through a text file till the end while pulling out 3 different matched items, then writing those matched items to ascending spots in an excel file, and then creating a bar graph according to the saved data. Sounds complicated but...I have the program reading the text file, pulling out the first iteration of all three, writing them to an excel file, and I have it even graphing them the way I want it to. The only thing I havent done before (and which is probably the easiest), is creating the do while statement so it keeps searching line to line for the three interactions of what im looking for and writing them to ascending spots in the excel file.
Right now my code works like this, which is perfect for pulling out the first 3 and creating a graph, I just inserting a do while and a rowindex + 1 variable.
vb Dim alines() = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("C:deviceinfo.txt")
Dim amatch As String
Dim muvalue As String
[CODE]................
I have a feeling in order to pull this off, I do not want to use the, "ReadAllLines" option and possibly want to put the text into an array.
And do something like: if lines.count > 0
But im not familiar with how arrays work in VB, and more specifically what the syntax is. The other tricky thing I am trying to add is an if statement that adds to a variable (such as i) everytime a line is added to excel so the program will write to ascending lines. I was trying to have the it work with the do while statement but pretty soon realized that if I did: i = i +1. Everytime it went through the loop then the data was going to be on random lines corresponding to their place in the text.

I have a hardware which sends out packets containing 17 bytes to the comport in bursts of 3. the little test VB that I have written receives and displays the bytes in a line of 17 bytes long and works fine until it gets to around 170th packet, then it starts to mix up (looks like shifting the data left) the bytes shift mostly by one digit sometimes by two. then it will continue to give almost a packet correct and a packet shifted for about 50 packets. Then it will correct itself for a long while, but then the speed at which it receives drops. All the packets are sent 3 times, and before things go wrong (within the first 170 packets) the packet counter shows that it receives 3 packet each time but after the problem it goes to 2 packet per burst and then to one.
If i close my VB monitoring program say at packet 165 and immediately open it again, it wont go wrong for another 170 packets, this points the finger at VB. I have check my hardware, there is no problem with that.The program reads port - waits for 17 bytes - once 17 has been received it will go and buffer the packet in an array. In fact they are 2 arrays but printing fro either results in the same problem.I have tried whatever i could think of but to no avail, i am wondering if some kind of house keeping needs to be done to clear something... I am sorry the program is a bit messy but I have been making many changes to find out what the problem is - my code below:[code]

A text file exists on my server machine which is constantly being updated (about once about 5 seconds). On my web page, I'd like a div to display this file live using jQuery inside MVC.
I have the jQuery timer working already, but the file isn't displaying. My plan was to get the jQuery to load a Controller Action every 5 seconds and have this action return a FilePathResult.
The script:
$(function () {
var streamer = $("div.wrapper div.streamer");
//===

LiveStreamPath contains the path to the text file. I was thinking of creating a StreamReader in the Action instead. What sorts of implementations can I use to get this file to stream?
