VB Writing Text To A Text File?
May 10, 2011
I am creating a basic programme in VB as a piece of coursework. Most is going fine however I am having problems saving text to a text file. Let me start by saying I know how to save the text to a text file, but I cannot save it how I want to. as you will see from the code below currently it saves to a file called OrderInfo.txt on the D: drive (which works fine).
However as I will be submitting the code via its VB state (i.e. just in the test mode and not published as an exe or anything) I want the file to save in folder \Assignement\Orders\OrderInfo.txt. I dont want it to be drive specific as I dot know where the lecturer will decide to put the file so it may be on D;, E: C:\Documents and settings etc....
Is there a way I can set it so that it will just look in the local folder where the VB is being run from much like you can with html? So instead of assigning a letter I can just type \Orders\OrderInfo.txt.
Private Sub cmdConfirm_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdConfirm.Click
frmSummary.iOrderNo = frmSummary.iOrderNo + 1
Dim FILE_NAME As String = "D:\OrderInfo.txt"
[code]....

Write a program that requests a color as input in a text box and then determines whether or not the color is in the text file. The program should use the Boolean-valued Function procedure IsCrayola that returns the value True if the color in the text box is a Crayola color.
*I am to use a file named Colors.txt

This is my first post in the community. I am putting together a program that serves two functions:1. Takes input from TextBoxes and writes it to a text file.2. Takes the text from the text file and displays two specific strings of text in a MessageBox.This is the code for the button that writes the input to file.
Private Sub facSubmitButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles facSubmitButton.Click
Dim facultyRecord As String = "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\teeny.txt"

When using .write method the string will be stored at the end of the text file. Is there a method that adds them on top? If not, how can I get this done without using too much memory and processor time?

We have some information that we need to write (about 18KB) to a .txt file stored in one of our network drives. The file is re-written about once every 15 minutes but is read practically at least every second. We are currently using StreamWriter to write file.The file server is in remote location and the round trip ping varies from <1ms to 15ms.
The problem is, sometimes it takes as long as 6 seconds to write the contents to the file, which is definitely way too long even after we take consideration of the network speed. therefore, I am just wondering if there is any efficient way to write the file using VB.Net to improve the performance? Java has a very good tool named BufferedOutputStream, which unfortunately is not available in VB.Net (or I just have not found it).

I want to write some stats to a text file every time a person loads a page. But every once in awhile I am getting at 'Could Not Open File, Already in use' type of error. I can not 100% replicate this error it is very erratic. My code is
Public Sub WriteStats(ByVal ad_id As Integer)
Dim ad_date As String = Now.Year & Now.Month
Dim FILENAME As String = Server.MapPath("text/BoxedAds.txt")
[Code]....
how can I lock and unlock the file so I stop getting the erratic errors?

How would a person read a line of a text file by the number of the line. In other words, if I wanted to get the 3rd line of the file, how could I store that third line in a variable. While I'm at it, I might as well also ask how to do the opposite, or write text to a specific line (in this case, writing over the other information on the chosen line).

I have to write data to an existing text file. I know it is possible to write to an existing file. But, my problem is I don't want to append the new data at the beginning or end of the file. I need to append the new data at the specified line.

I am creating a fault tracker AKA issue tracker. It is going to be very simple in functionality. As of right now I am using a text file as a database for the end user to store current issues.
The reason for me using a text file is that I do not know much about database programming and I cannot find any simple examples in the same usage. My question is, is it really going to become a problem as more issues are added to this file and it becomes larger? I.E using up more resources, application getting slower etc?
If so, could anyone point me in the right direction to creating a simple database application. Most examples I have seen require ask to download their pre-made database. Although I would like for the program to create a database if one is not there.

I have written a program which reads the text from the text file cleans it for some specific letters or phrases and then saves it in another text file. I am having a problem in rewriting the processed or cleaned data (after it has removed some phrases and characters)onto writing the file.
I have successfully written the text on the file except one problem. In each loop when each string is cleaned and is written on the text file, it overwrites the previous string. What I want is that it should write in the next line or in the same line.
My code is given below:
Private Sub btnopen_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnopen.Click
FileOpen.Title = "Please select the file"
[Code]...
how can I write the text in the new line and avoid overwriting of text in my text file.
