Totalling Text File Contents?
Nov 6, 2009
I have a text file that contains 10 integers in a list format
21
15
11
9
61
45
36
97
84
11
I wish to create an application that will:
A- Display the list
B- Allow editing of the list
C- write the edits to the file (display error message if not integer)
D- Display a message box that displays the sum of the integers is the list
E- Re-Total the integers in the list automatically as edited in the text file display.

I am trying to ping a text file("C:/Domains.txt") which is a list of domains, then have the resulting IP address written to a different text file ("C:/IP_Addresses.txt"). And this action will be done with a Button_Click.

I have this Quiz software that lets you create online multiple choice quizzes which are great for studying (I am in grad school and I'm trying to use everything I can to learn). So the Quiz software is great but it only lets you input questions by hand, one by one. I took a look at the .xml file that the quiz program spits out and came up with the idea to try and make a converter so that I can import many questions at once. I was hoping to try and solve this limitation by doing the following:
Take a .doc that say a tutor gives us with a bunch of practice questions, and then take that into Crimson Editor, and then format it so the question is on line 1, the multiple choice answers are on lines 3,4,5, and 6, (for the next question, the question would be on line 11, and the answers on lines 13, 14, 15, and 16, and so on) and then take that saved .txt file into my program, hit the generate button, and it will spit out the .xml file, and then import that into the quiz software to generate the online quiz.
Here is an attached screenshot of my program layout so far:
I figured out how to open a text file by watching simple youtube tutorials, but I don't know how to have it generate the stuff and have it show up in the bottom text box. I know how to do the coding to convert the txt to proper xml code but I don't know how to be able to save the contents of the bottom text window to an xml file.

I'm in the final stages of finishing a program I've been working on for nearly a year now, and this is basically my final hurdle. The Save dialogue is working beautifully, with 'flags' in order to switch it over from the regular input into text boxes to the Listbox input protocol.

I am writing a simple program that will encrypt the text that is held in a text box and save it to a text file but I want it to be able to open a text file and decrypt the contents.
Ok now all the threads I have read are about reading a text file that is in a preset location.
What I want to do is open a text file that the user selects and have the contents displayed in a text box.

I'm trying to read the contents of a text file. Everyone says it's a piece of cake, but I still get error "404 Not Found" even though the site exists.
I'm using the following:
Dim myRequest As HttpWebRequest
Dim myResponse As HttpWebResponse
myRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create("[URL]") 'This does work
myRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create("[URL]") 'This does not
myRequest.Proxy = New WebProxy("http://proxy address", True)
myRequest.Method = "GET"
myResponse = DirectCast(myRequest.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
When I hit the [URL] the myRequest.GetResponse command passes the contents of the site into myResponse. However, hitting the [URL] always returns 404 even though it exists.

I have used Mid,InStr and other methods to get a substring of a string from one text file and copied the required string to another text file. While I get the correct string, vbscript however generates a BLANK SPACE after evry character in the output string.
I tried to use the Replace function inorder to replace the " " with ""... but the function does not detect any blank spaces at all to replace.
Instead of copying to another file, I even tried to replace the undesired part of the string with a " " and get only the required part ... but then again it gives the same problem[ a BLANK SPACE after evry character]

I'm wondering whether anyone else has had to do this. I've looked in to some third party solutions.
The two I've used with the most success are: 1. xPDF. This includes an executable, PDF2TEXT.exe, which takes an argument that is the path to the PDF file to "read" and a second argument which is the name of the text file where it will write the output. This works well and fairly quickly, but it's external to my application and calling it via a Process.Start() command raises security considerations and requires to user to allow the external executable to run. They must allow this to happen AT LEAST every time they run the import application (IF they will check the "Don't keep bothering me about this" box).
2. A solution from Foxit, which is GREAT, but costs a good bit of money to use. Does anyone have a solution that I can implement IN MY CODE (like #2) but that's free (like #1)?

I'm working on a homework assignment for class from the Programming in Visual Basics 2008 published by Mc Graw Hill. It is the Chapter 11 Case Study. We are to create a program that makes a text file and populates it with data. Then use a second program that reads the contents of the text file into form containers. The first half is working perfectly.

My text file is something like what you see below, and I want to populate the datagrid. Once I populate the datagrid, I'll use that kind of like an excel spreadsheet in the sense that I'll dip in and grab values based on row and column index to display to the user. I will also (on a different form maybe) display the same datagrid to the users so they can sort by column at their choosing.[code]The error I am getting is: Value of type 'Integer' cannot be converted to 'System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCell'.

I have MyReader spit the contents of a delimited file into a text box on my form. I wanted to have the program find how many times a certain string was repeated based on a comparison between the currentfield string and my encoded search string. I thought that I could use a counter for this, but I think I may be using incorrect syntax. When the program runs, the counter doesn't increment.

Since it's been a while since I have done anything in VB and I wasn't that accomplished anyway, I thought I would VB.net (VB 2008 Express) and fiddle around with it. I am in the process of making a calculator, which so far only adds...the other functions will come. The adding is where I am having difficulty. Here is what I've got:[code...]
I am not adding the right things...I know, but I am running out of ideas...too tired, but can't stop now. Just too close to have one function of the calculator working.
