Txt File Lines Into An Array And Access Each
Jan 4, 2012
I want to read each line from a txt file, but instead of using a for, while etc loop i will let the web browser do it (document completed). I want to increment the next line and let the loop continue till its finished.
Just say the data was inside a textbox, i'd do Textbox1.Lines(count) for line one, then i'd do count += 1 and when the web browser has completed, it would start again and repeat the process.
So how do i read the lines from a txt file into an array without looping? And allows me to specify the line number?

I 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.

Is there a way to make an array from all the lines within a file?
For instance, value 1 of array is line 1 of file, etc.
I found a way on Google, but for some reason if a line says something like: http://domain.com/file/file.exe
It will cut off the line to something like: http://domain.com/file/fi

I'm working on a program that when you click a button called new it pops up a new form asking for you to enter a directory location. If the directory exists it saves it into this file:
"C:WindowsSettingsButtonVariableSaves.ini"
I already have working code that saves each directory entered into the ini file on its own line.
Now in this code I'm trying to call each variable back from the ini file when form1_loads and set it to an array called ary() so later I can set the first 10 saved within the array.
So later:
button1.text = ary(1)
button2.text = ary(2)
and so on to
button10.text = ary(10)
and the reason I set the array to record all lines even if theres more than 10 because I want to be able to add more buttons later on.
Here's my current code for saving lines to an array:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim FILE_NAME As String = "C:WindowsSettingsButtonVariableSaves.ini"

I am adding line entries in a .ini file. The problem is, I am creating duplicate lines in the file, which I do not want to do. I searched this issue online, and the consensus is to use an array, loop through for duplicates and create a new file. However, being so new at this and teaching myself how to code no less, I am at a dead end. This is not a school project, it is something I am doing for work on my own time. I have all of my code done for the program except for this last step.

I am trying to turn data in a text file seperated by spaces into a 2D array.
It is for a math game. The data is statistics based on the performance of the user. One line looks like this "John Doe 0 0 1 3 0 6 0 22"
I need to put the line into an array and then be able to search by name to display the results. I keep getting extra spaces in the input of the array so the data isnt where it should be. It seems that the first entry works correctly, but appended lines do not enter correctly.
Sub ResultsToFile()
Dim FILE_NAME As String = "C:\Student_Results.txt"
Dim RecordString As String = NameForm.PlayerFirstName & " " &

I need assistance with posting lines from a text file (test scores) into an array. From there, I'll have to average the test scores, find the standard deviation (without using the built in function) and assign grades based on the test scores' deviation. I have already written the code for the user to search and upload a text file. And I should be able to do the standard deviation of the array, if someone can help give me an example of how to send the text file to array and average the lines of the array without using the built in math functions.

I've got myself a CSV file with the following contents:
1,The Compact,1.8GHz,1024MB,160GB,440
2,The Medium,2.4GHz,1024MB,180GB,500
3,The Workhorse,2.4GHz,2048MB,220GB,650
It's a list of computer systems, basically, that the user can purchase.I need to read this file, line-by-line, into an array. Let's call this array csvline().The first line of the text file would stored in csvline(0). Line two would be stored in csvline(1). And so on. (I've started with zero because that's where VB starts its arrays). A drop-down list would then enable the user to select 1, 2 or 3 (or however many lines/systems are stored in the file). Upon selecting a number - say, 1 - csvline(0) would be displayed inside a textbox (textbox1, let's say). If 2 was selected, csvline(1) would be displayed, and so on.
It's not the formatting I need help with, though; that's the easy part. I just need someone to help teach me how to read a CSV file line-by-line, putting each line into a string array - csvlines(count) - then increment count by one so that the next line is read into another slot.So far, I've been able to paste the numbers of each system into an combobox:
Using csvfileparser As New Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser _
("F:folderprogramnameprogramnameinDebugsystems.csv")
Dim csvalue As String()[code]......
But this only selects individual values. I need to figure out how selecting one of these numbers in the combobox can trigger textbox1 to be appended with just that line (I can handle the formatting, using the string.format stuff). If I try to do this using csvalue = csvtranslator.ReadLine , I get the following error message:
"Error 1 Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of String'."
If I then put it as an array, ie: csvalue() = csvtranslator.ReadLine , I then get a different error message:"Error 1 Number of indices is less than the number of dimensions of the indexed array."

When you need to do random access to the lines of a text file, the regular solution is to put those lines in a list and access them in that list.But doing this if the text file is large creates a large memory overhead and may cause some memory stress on the application.This class maps the file and provide the ability to read any particular line in the file at a random position, without the need to read or put in memory any other line but the desired line. The only memory overhead involve is the 1024 bytes buffer of the base stream.Even if the file mapping can be a process that consume a noticable amount of time if the file is very large ( ~ 5 seconds for each 100,000,000 caracteres) , once the mapping is done the access to a particular line becomes instantaneous regardless of the size of the file. (The file mapping can always be done at a convenient time (ex when the process load) and can be done on a worker thread The class is base on a StreamReader to support the differents Text Encodings Example uf usage ( As I say, if the file is very large, dont do it like that, but declare the class at a convenient time)

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.

I did think I could have an array with 5 items in it, but I'd still need to shuffle the existing items to add the current data.

I have a textfile I need to open and I need to put each line into the array. What is the simplest way to add the elements/each line's data into the array while increasing the array as it reads each line? This is blowing my mind right now..I thought about using a counter and then redim-ing the array (while preserving of course).

I have a form with a lot of LineShapes on it, and basically what I'm trying to do is make certain lines a blue colour and others a black colour, depending what it's in an array of integers. Each line is called line1, line2 etc. So if one of the values in the array is 3, then line3 would be coloured blue.
I have the following code to handle all the lines more easier:
MeterArray = New PowerPacks.LineShape() {line1, line2, line3, line4, line5}
However, since I'm going to have about 50 seperate lines, this is going to look quite messy when I reach line50. So my question is, is there a tidyier way of handling these lineshapes.
