Truncate The Beginning Of A Log File In .NET?
Feb 24, 2010
I have an VB.NET app that writes the status to a log file in text format. Over time, the file is getting large and I wanted to know if there is an efficient way to truncate the beginning of the file.
To make things easier, I am looking to specify a file size (say 2-3 mb) and I am writing the log using a StreamWriter:
Using strm As New IO.StreamWriter(filelocation.log, True)
strm.WriteLine("msg to write")
strm.Close()
End Using
I thought about using the strm.BaseStream.Length to determine how much of the file to cut off, but by using the .SetLength it would cut from the end - not the desired result.

Im trying to create a new file at the begining of each month, and stay active for the rest of the month by adding the textbox info to it every time someone presses the Next or Exit button. Next and Exit button update the files Im not sure would it be easier to get the info across to Excel or sql server, but i woudlnt know how to do that, if that would be easiers.Aim of the what im doing, person logs button presses with the text files logging the number of presses of each of the buttons. then at the end of the session or when the user moves to the next item to be logged the files then save the counted section. need to it log everything for the month.

I'm reading a text file with StreamReader, line by line. If a condition is met, then I do an operation and then start reading the file again from the first line. I realize I could close and then re-open the file, but surely this would be very slow.
I could do this easily in VB6, but pulling my hair out trying to do this in vB.net. It seems that 'Seek' is the function to use, but it doesn't work.
I've seen other examples, where it works, but you must open it a different way -- with a file number.
Imports System.IO
Dim I as Integer
Dim LineText as String

is there a simple way to truncate an array ? Something like placing an end characted in the array which would signify its end ?
Basically I have two arrays of slightly different sizes and I want to shorten them so they both have the same size. The end data I am truncating I don't need.

how to truncate my string value to 17 characters only.
in my program, the acceptable number of characters for First Name is 17. Characters more than 17 should be truncated but it may cut words in the middle. I need to make the length max 17 characters, but, if it cuts a word, it should also remove this half-word completely.

I've been using it and even saw a method in a MSDN search given that suggests that it should be used but have found that there are defects using it. An example of problem occurring.
Dim db As Double
db = Int(10.12 * 100) / 100
db should be equal to 10.12 but the result you get will be 10.11. In the above example nothing is being truncated. If you added some digits right of the 2 it would give a good result. But if you're using a variable and it sometimes is equal to 10.12 or 9.12 etc. then a problem would occur. Also if 10.12 was replaced with 10.03 you'd get a result of 10.02. 10.04 gives a result of 10.03. 10.2 gives a result of 10.19. I'm now using code such as what is seen below instead of using Int() :
bd = Decimal.Truncate(CDec(10.12 * 100)) / 100
You could declare bd as a Decimal and then you wouldn't have to use CDec(). If I try Int(1012) the result is 1012 but Int(10.12 * 100) will give 1011. Pretty weird in my opinion.

How can I "truncate" a DateTime variable so that only e.g. the current minute remains?
Like in:
Dim myDateTime As DateTime
myDateTime = Now
.... (what would have to come here)
If Now is e.g. 15:43:21 then leave only 15:43:00 in the variable?

I wrote a loop that posted an accrued principal cycle to a listbox for a period of 10 years (10 loop cycles). The problem is: not only does the amount of the principal reconfigure for each loop cycle, but it does not truncate into a two decimal place holder as it should. I would like to use the ("F2") but I am not sure where to put it within the code. Here is what I have for the Calculate button event handler.

The RX data from the serial port is as follows:
FE FE FA E0 00 23 45 FD
I need to truncate everything else and just have positions 5, 6 and 7 output in the hex in a TEXTBOX. See below:
452300
Instead it will put the the whole steam in the textbox and it will be in decimal format, not hex.

DnsGetHostEntry takes an IPaddress as an argument but the one I'm supplying it while debugging is throwing an exception of "No such host is known" when I know that this is a perfectly valid host.
Somehow a space or character has been introduced at the beginning of the strong as per the text in quotes below. I tried a Trim(" ",
" 10.0.110.37"
"" & vbLf & "10.0.110.37" this is what I see when clicking on Edit Value in Quickwatch

All appears well, except for the zip codes that begin with a zero. I'm using a case statement to verify the zone, but VS2010, helpful as it is, removes the the lead zeros, after which said zip codes won't verify.strZip is put in through a text box, and a debug.writeline will tell me that VS stores it correctly, with the leading zeros. But when I get to the Case statement, it just will not let me look for a zero initiated number. I felt I was doing well by going with a string rather than something more numerical, but that apparently isn't enough.
Excerpt:
dim strZip as string
Select Case strZip[code]....

I've done a customer register in a win form app. and I need to be able to search for a customer fast. If I have more than 100 customers I'd be spending all day to find the right customer by using the previous and next buttons, so I want to have a textbox and a search button. If I write for example just an "A", I want my program to show all customers beginning with an "A". If I write "AN" I want my program to show all customers beginning with "AN".

program makes strings from webbrowser documenttext.For example
String1 = "<span class""long-title"" title"" Informations here"
Im trying to remove all text before "Informations here" this is what i currently have.
dim mychar as char () = {"<"c, "s"c, "p"c, "a"c, '....thatandlike20moretill.... "e"c, """"c}
string1 = string1.TrimStart(mychar)
(Note that each letter or symbol inbetween the quotations is a part of the string (span = "s" "p"...)Now this works. Not all the time though and its a pain in the .. having to do "letter"c, all the time.. (I got over 10 strings lol) Im wondering if theres a way easier method to remove part of string from the beginning, maybe like still a certen part of the length..

I have some questions about arrays.
1) Lets say I open a file in a byte array and I need to add 5 bytes of data at the beginning. How would I go in doing that? ex: attaching to arrays together.
2) How would I go in adding 1 byte of data in a bye array?
All i need to do is open part of a file in bytes. Add a letter and 2 numbers to it at the begging and a number at the end.All i need to know is how to attach 2 byte arrays together and how can u add a byte of data to an array.
