View 1 RepliesI have written a simple script to get a bunch of lines from a text file (they will be filenames eventually) which are split by new lines and puts each one into an array..
Dim ary() As String
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists("C:MenuFiles.txt") Then
[code]....
The only thing I can do for now is either use the substring function to remove the first character from all array values after 0 but I don't like that because it's messy and what if the split "works" as I want it to one one of the lines and knocks of the first character when I don't want it to.
I have a text file containing lines of data (File 1). I need to delete all the lines in another text file (File 2), which are found in file 1.So I could read file 2 line by line. And then once the line has been read, read file 1 line by line to search for a match. But that's going to be painfully slow.Or I could read file 2 into memory. And then read file 1 line by line and REPLACE the lines in file 2 with nothing, therefore deleting them. File 2 could be 100 mb, so I'm not sure about reading it all into memory.

Line 1: 020220date20101231salesvalue52..

Dim xfile As String = Application.StartupPath & "/Set.txt"
If File.Exists(xfile) = True Then
Dim writex As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(xfile)

View 2 RepliesI know that Deleting a specific line in a sequential text file is impossible but instead copy the needed lines and not copying the unneeded ones to an output file .. killing the old one and renaming the new one with the same.. I can't make this step...
That is my record file
Code:
Input #1, CustomerName, CustomerHomeAddress, CustomerBussAddress, CustomerTel1, CustomerMob1, CustomerID, DateRent, CarRegPin
Code:
"Josek Sam","68 West Land Street","149 Union of States","4524563","45635463","JOSKSAM1",#2009-03-02#,"MILANCGLZ2008"
"Josef Malm","142 Unions Street","64 Hamersters Street","452504","42542054","JOSFMALM2",#2009-03-06#,"MILANCGLZ2008"
"Dave Green","131 Oxford Street","96 BlueBane Route","452542452","43254345","DAVGRN3",#2009-03-07#,"MILANCGLZ2008"
I made a form that when you put your CustomerID in Text3 Box.. it access the records and make some calculations. now.. The customer will return the car.. Then his data should be deleted.. I want to know how to make that when I enter the CustomerID and press on the Command button .. It copies the other lines to a new output folder and doesn't copy these ... So it appears to be deleted using this way..

Below is what I've been using. While it does work, my program locks up when trying to count a rather large file, say 10,000 or more lines. Smaller files run in no time. Is there a better or should I say faster way to count the lines in a text file?

I have the following code that displays the last line of my text file:
VB
Private Sub btnCurrent_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCurrent.Click

Dim readText() As String = File.ReadAllLines(path)
Dim s As String
For Each s In readText
lblResults.Text = s
Next
End Sub
How I can display the last 12 lines of code instead of just the last line.

View 1 RepliesI have this code now doing and that is creating my chart from data off a text file. The final task I need to be able to do, to complete my program is have a way to select how many days of data to populate my chats with via a Text Box input. I am thinking I will need to read the complete text file first to count how many lines are in it, then what ever is put in the text box it will take that many lines of data from the text file and populate the chart. For this to work correctly it would have to read the lines of the file back wards.(last line of file would be the first line..) e.g. textbox1.text = "7" then the chart would show only the last 7 lines of my data.
I was looking up examples of Counting the lines in the file, I think I am close here...

I want to make a program that reads the line of a file, and puts it into a text box, then reads the second line in that file, putting it in another text box... Say i only have a file with two lines, how can i do this?I have written a code, but it only works for the first line. Is there a preset function in Visual Basic that will allow me to read a certain line?

I want to remove all the line which contain [Txxxxx..] and place it in another file. i want to be do like cut and past. Is that possible. Can we remove lines in text files?
I am in the process of developing a VB.net helper application that will combine two text files into one, remove the extra blank lines, do some calculations and spit out a new and improved text file.
My question is: at the beginning of each file is a header row that starts with a "01". How does one go about removing all of the other "01" rows but leave the first header line?
So far, I have succeeded at removing all of the "01" lines, which isn't what I want but hey, I got it to work

I am reading a textfile and extracting information from each line. For example string1 and string2. I am then writing these string to a datatable. However, sometimes there will be repeats in string1 and string2. If there are repeated lines I would like to be able to delete the repeating line and add a counter to find the total number of repeating lines. so if a string repeates 3 times I would like there to be a column with a 3 displayed next to the line in my datatable.
View 3 RepliesI have a windows form with a textbox and a button, what I am trying to do is enter a number in the textbox and when clicked on the button to cut and paste the data in to a new text file (from number 0 to the number I entered).ie, textfile 1 has 100 lines of data, I enter 25 and press OK I would like to take the first 25 lines and save them into a new text file and save the remaining lines in textfile 1 so it should be like textfile1 75 lines and textfile2 25 lines.The closest I've come to this is the following but this only deletes the one line..[code]

Basically, every time an entry is made - all of the proper data gets put out to a central Listings.txt file and then a specific .txt file for that area. When the user enters the recall form, they can view the listings for all or whichever area they've selected. That works quite fine. However! We also need to include a summary of how many are in each section. Not thinking properly, I started to do this with a counter - until I realized that a counter will lose its value once the program shuts down. My current idea is to count the number of lines in the text file (it outputs 8 lines per listing, so everything would be in values of 8) and then divide that by 8 - but after some searching I haven't been able to find a piece of code that will allow me to get an integer that relates to the amount of individual lines in the file.
