I have the following code, which I run everytime I want to add a new line to my text file, but it is deleting the previous data in the text file every time I do it.
Dim stFilePath As String = "C:file.txt"
If File.Exists(stFilePath) Then
Else
File.CreateText(stFilePath)
End If
Dim ioFile As New StreamWriter(stFilePath)
ioFile.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", DateTime.Now, "test message")
ioFile.Close()
I need to update the students score with a new score but I cant get it to write to the line that the students current score it at. It just deletes the whole text.

View 9 Repliesim creating a high score table. Although i dont know how to write to a text file.What i did first was i created a text file in vb's resources and thats about it.What i want the program to do is:when a user clicks e.g. Button1. then the programs gets the score from textbox1.text (currentscore) and textbox2.text (out of)
then saves it to the text file.I tried the following
Dim oFile As System.IO.File
Dim oWrite As System.IO.StreamWriter
oWrite.WriteLine(TextBox2.Text(""))
EndClass
I have a multiline label that im trying to add a line everytime I click the button. Its basically adding a new CD track name, CD minutes, and CD seconds to each new line for everytime the user inputs the given information:
1 Track_Name1 3 min. 13 sec.
2 Track_Name2 2 min. 34 sec.
3 Track_Name3 3 min. 01 sec.
.
.
.
But it keeps adding the "new" line in the position of the old one, so its only displaying on 1 line. I tried using a vbCrLf, but I might have it in the wrong spot?
heres what I got...
Private Sub btnAddCut_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAddCut.Click
cutCounter += 1
[Code]...
The cutCounter is obviously the track number, and it clears the current info for the new information.
So basically i need to make a loop that only lets the user click it ten times then gives the answer to them.i was gonna use a DO loop that looks like this so far.
Dim counter as integer
counter = 0
Do until counter = 10
loop
and after that i'm kinda lost on what to do, i know that its needs to be if you click btnenter 10 times give the right answer and then your done.
I have 50 buttons on my form and have to write code for click of all that buttons. So my question is do I have to write separate codes for every button click event:

i am using StreamWriter to write a file! I need write always in a new line! How i make this?

f.Close()
I'm trying to write a CSV file with multiple fields. The data to be written is stored in a list(of string()). Using VB Filewriter.Write for each field, the process is real slow. Isn't there a way to format the data first and use Writeline once for each instance in the data store? Unfortunately, when I created a string with all the fields concatenated and separated by commas, the Writeline inserted quotes around the whole string. How do I prevent this behavior?
View 4 RepliesBasically all I need is my program to write a character(Ex: "1") in a certain position specified by me in a line in a textbox.
So so far my code is:
Dim sw As IO.StreamWriter = IO.File.AppendText("101.txt")
sw.Write()
And all i need to know is how i pick the position that the .write function writes.
I have a "Form" with:
1- List Box
1- TextBox
3- Button
1- OpenFileDialog
1- SaveFileDialog
I want that clicking the btn1 it shows the OpenFileDialog and read file that it has got this structure: SKI10 1 71 0 0 18 101 19 0 29 101 30 0 40 101 41 0 50 101 51 0 62 101 63 0 81 101 82 0 95 101 2 0 0 95 165 3 0 1072 01 4 2 1 93 15
I want that it reads all Line of the File and it add an Item in ListBox for line.For example the first Item of the ListBox in this case is
SKI1
And the 2th Item is in this case.
0 1 7
I want using the StreamReader classes.And i want that when i click an Item of the ListBox it shows the Text in the TextBox and I can edit the Line and that clicking antoher button the Item will come updated with new Text of the TextBox.I have also another button for saving the Mod.I can use the AppendText and it create a new file writing ListBox1.Items line for line.

I have a code which reads a text file through streamreader,selects what is important and writes the same to another fileusing streamwriter. The problem is that the streamwriter stops writing beyond a certain line and just doesnt write ahead.What can be the problem? Do I have to make two seperate files?
View 9 RepliesI have successfully run a simple sql query in vb.net and basically wanted to know how I can export the results from the query to a .txt file? All I really know is that I should be using StreamWriter. "SELECT column1, column2, from table1 where column1 = '1'" to a .txt file? Would it be best to first bind the data to a grid or can I skip that step?

I am needing to write to a "rtf" file, and always insert my text on line 3 of either a new or an existing rtf document.I'm familiar with vb, but have not done much with the system.io functions. I have been testing several examples from the internet using the streamreader and streamwriter but still having issues finding a way to "insert text" on a specified line number. My questions:
1)I will always need to write on line #3, do I need to read all lines as this example shows "lines.AddRange(System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("C :/test/myrtffile.rtf"))"

Basically this is a function I call during the program booting and it creates the necessary directory and also the LOGIN.CYS file empty... then later data can be added.My issue is that it keeps adding a line to the .cys (which is a .txt file) but I just want VB to create a plain text file with no content inside...
I am coming across a lot of odd and annoying problems in this program and have almost had enough lol.
I cannot figure this one out for the life of me. I have used streamwriter a hell of alot of times and never once experienced this. But basically I have a string array and I need to write the entire array to a text file with a new line for each array item. So I have gone ahead and done this:
[Code]...
However the outcome is the text file only contains 1 line and that line is the last item in the array yet I know the array has got at least 50 items in it.
I am writing each line to a text file:
Dim objWriter As New System.IO.StreamWriter(filename)
For Each x In tofile
objWriter.WriteLine(x)
Next
objWriter.Close()
Which works perfectly the only problem is is that when its finished it writes a blank line on the end of the text file which I don't want.
I'm testing a small program that can read & write to an rtf file. Examples I have found work fine, although I have two questions:
1)If I need to ALWAYS write to line number 9 of an existing RTF file, do I need to "read" 9 times or can I immediately position myself to line number 9. I have found character manipulation but can't seem to find what I need with positioning to a particular line number.
2)BOLD text: I have found examples where I should be able to format my text, such as
MyFile.WriteLine ""
MyFile.WriteLine Text
MyFile.WriteLine "0"
but when doing this, it does not "bold" my text, but actually prints the text exactly as shown. I'm looking for information/links that I can "bold" "Italicize" text. Code is written in VS2005.
i need help with stream writer, i can get it read lines and stuff like that but now i need Streamwriter to write to a colour.txt file (already populated with data) and insert a line that isn't already in the file, into alph order eg combobox reads and displays list from txt file.
their is a colour thats isn't in the text file, so i would like it to take the colour from the combobox that was typed in by the user and place it into the colour.txt file in alphabetical order (these are car colours so their are 100's and 1000's per manufacturer, its not as basic as i want red blue black lol) i was able to find loads of data about streamreader but not so much about stream writer
Not sure what to use or how to use it. But I would like either streamreader or streamwriter to ignore a line depending on it contents.

I am taking in two html files and creating one out of them. To do this I am opening the first html file and not writing out the closing </body> and </html> tag and opening the second file and not writing out the corresponding opening tags, as well as the <style></style>section. I start a streamwriter, and write the lines out to it, and then close the streamwriter. My problem is that the output file is filled with strange characters. I've tried opening the streamwriter with different character sets as the third parm, but all this does is change the characters to different strange characters.It says charset=windows-1252 at the tops of the input files (and the output files for that matter - since I'm just reading stuff in and writing it out - with the exceptions mentioned above).Questions;First, do you think I am properly approaching appending two .htm files together?Second, how can I eliminate these strange characters.
