View 2 RepliesI 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 have the same problem that Niphoet had in this thread: vb .net overwrite a specific line in a text file
I am trying to implement the code that Axarydax showed in C# that I am trying to translate to use into vb.net. My problem is that the code will make my new text file but will not write any of the lines from the other text file to it and just leaves it blank. I think my problem is with the while loop statement but I am not sure.

I have this code now doing and that is creating my chart from data off a text file. The final task I need to be able to do, to complete my program is have a way to select how many days of data to populate my chats with via a Text Box input. I am thinking I will need to read the complete text file first to count how many lines are in it, then what ever is put in the text box it will take that many lines of data from the text file and populate the chart. For this to work correctly it would have to read the lines of the file back wards.(last line of file would be the first line..) e.g. textbox1.text = "7" then the chart would show only the last 7 lines of my data.
I was looking up examples of Counting the lines in the file, I think I am close here...

Dim txt As TextStream
Set txt = fso.OpenTextFile(ReadChart, ForReading)

I have a form to calculate some settings. It works just fine. I will input some decimal numbers to 8 deferent Textboxes. For example I input 40.0098 to textbox1. When I press a button my form will calculate these setting, and it will generate some new values. What I want to do is save the user inputs and the generated values to a text file each input or value has its own line it should by after the name of that input or value so the user could read the info contain in this text file, so per say line 1 of this text file will represent the input of textbox 1. it should save it as "parameter 1 = 40.0098" to line 1 of the text file I also want to be able to load this text file to my form (only specific lines) when I press another button I should get a dialog box to be able to select the text file, once I do that my form should read line one and only the input what after the "=" so textbox1 should now show 40.0098 only.
