View 1 RepliesI have a program that reads a text file tab delimted using OLEDb .I need to be able to allow the user to insert a user created record into the file which I can do.
The problem is I need to be able to let the user edit that record. From my understanding you can not edit or delete with OLEDB only insert So I thought I would read the file using stream reader, find the line I want to edit and just delete it, rewrite the file, then let the user insert a new record
If someone has a better way to perform this operation I am open its just the best way I could find with my limited knowledge and the reading and researching I have been doing thus far.
So I am trying to step-by step and first read the file which seems to work then find the line that would need to be deleted. So I was trying to use the
line.startswith method. I am using msgbox to see if that works before I continue but it doesnt seem to work I know my file has several lines starting with "Active" but my msgbox returns "False"
Here is the code I have so far

I'm using the stream writer to make a text file and write to it.I'm trying to get all the items from the listbox2 and save them to a text file called log.txt.The funny part is that its not giving me a ex.message.Do you see any error.[code]...
View 13 Repliesi am creating a program which scans and saves images. in my program i have the option to save images and with each image i save it gets its own number for example: file1, file2, file3, file4 and so on. the only problem i have is getting the prgram to remember where it left off so it carry's on the number. my understanding is that i need to create some sort of stream writer or file stream class for this proccess to work. so it save's the last image number i was on, and carrys it on next time i open the program up again. and i also need it to re-write the new image number its on for next time. so i need to write and read the text file (.txt) and write it again if you catch my drift? i have a book to help but the wording in it is so confusing at the min, i m lost where to start.

The bigger problem is that I can't seem to get everything involving using stream writer and reader working. If I start of with a .txt file already correctly formatted then I can display it in the list box. But adding data during run time is not proving successful.

I have a dataGridView and tied it to a button that saves every time you click it. and every time you click it, I want to write a line to a txtfile that displays how many records were changed and the date that they were changed. Everything works fine but every time a save has been made it over write the previous entry on the text file. Here is some of the code.
If changes > 0 Then
MessageBox.Show(changes & " changed rows were stored in the database.") ' changes shows how many entries were changed
swDate.WriteLine(changes & " record changes on " & entryDate) 'entryDate is formated as date with value of "Now"
Else
[code]....
I am getting the right results in the text file except it over writes previous entry's so there is only one entry saved in the text file at any given time. I want it to keep building the text file so every time something is streamWrited the previous things in the text file stay there and it add to it. Looking at my problem I cant really justify or implement a For Each..Next or a Do While..Loop. My vb knowledge is limited so go easy on me.
I'm trying to setup a simple app that reads a file and then writes the contents to another file using OpenFileDialog and SaveFileDialog. Looking at the debbugger it looks like it's reading fine, I can see the data I want written. Towards the end of my code I get the following error message:"Illegal characters in path". I've researched this error. I'm not using any illegal characters such as /\? etc and the pathname contains all alpha characters. I'm pulling the test file from the C drive and trying to save it there as well.
Path: C:\Test.csv
My code:
Private Sub btnAppendData_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAppendData.Click

I am trying to make my application read data from a file. Then save the data back. However I keep getting an error which says the file is still open so cannot be edited. I also read that there is an issue with the streamreader and streamwriter do not close the program straight away. I was wondering if anyone had a way around this or any alternative ideas. Heres my code so far!

I am new to Visual Basics and I am using Visual Basic 2008 express. I have been using video tutorial on line to learn VB and they are great in explaining what is happening the code vs. just looking at code. I think from what little I can find I would be using StreamWriter WriteLine and StreamReader readLine .I am using a couple of forms. I am looking for simple basic code to use a form as a way of modifying timer intervals and store the values in a single text file on separate lines.
Description:
Form1: will contain the main code that will run. It will contain some timers. I want the timers to look in a text file for their intervals. Each timer would be on a different line.
Example:
Timer1 interval would be located on line 3
Timer2 interval would be located on line 6
Timer3 interval would be located on line 20
Form2: will contain 3 textboxes. This is where when I load form2 I will also read the same values from the text file to preload the text boxes. I will now be able to change the timer intervals as needed and press a button to update the text file. The update button will also reload the new timer settings on Form1. This is very similar to how a CNC Machine works with Parameter settings. This can be useful for storing many different settings for a form that a user can modify and be stored and reloaded next time the program runs.
Is it possible that when a new line (anywhere in a richtextbox) is added/deleted, then a line is also added/deleted in another richtextbox?

I'm making a browser and for the favorites I'm using a reader and writer to read and write new favorite to a .txt file. Now if I edit the text file manually and load up the browser, the favorites show up as they should but the problem comes in when I add the a new favourite and then reload the application. Once reloaded the favorites seem to copy what was originally in the file and then whatever I added last at the bottom.
Here is the
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
WebBrowser1.Navigate(TextBox1.Text)
ListBox1.Items.Add(TextBox1.Text)

I am doing some txt file programming and i came to the problem...I could write what is in a combobox in a txt file to then read it when the app is opened again.But if i want for example to delete a line in the text file.I want for example if i have in the combobox 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 and i select 5 and i touch a button delete , i want the application to check if the value(5 in this case) is in the etxt file and delete
View 3 RepliesOk so i have a uni assignment to delete lines of text out of a text file, so far i have figured out how to search the text file for specific bits of text, i,e name of user, ive also used a loop to find out what line in the text file the specific line exists as...my
code so far is
Dim line As String
Dim Input As StreamReader
[code]....
the selected policy is what im tryin to use to write over the line of texts that already exists however i think that maybe instead of deleteting what exists it will just move it down a line and make a blank line
I have this program that outputs all the servers on a specific game. It outputs it to a text file. However, There is a lot of annoying spaces. This is kind of hard to explain, so I'll try to explain it. This is what The text file looks like.
Code:
173.81.220.139 2302
70.26.235.69 2302
24.26.119.209 2302
99.244.109.8 2302
190.234.169.198 27667
As you can see, they have these annoying spaces. What I want to do:
1. Get rid of the spaces, But keep the space between the IP and the Port.
2. After the spaces that are bad are gone, I want the program to output each single IP AND port To its own text Box. It doesn't matter is the textbox of the IP and Port are seperated, It can just be one textbox with the IP and port, with a space between them. Thats about it!! I have the GUI done, and the rest of the programming, all I need now is this.
Reformat without spaces > output each seperate line of text to a seperate textbox > TYTYTYTY
Is there a way for VB to send a command to the command prompt? Say, I wanted it to open a CMD box and send ipconfig into that box, what would that be?

I am busy with a project converting VS2005/2008 sln files.
I am quite far but have came acroos a problem with my source code.
I have found the files I need to change, I have changed them to the version that I need.
I now need to read the files back into my program and delete the line I have changed as it contains project numbers that are irrelevant. Then I need to save it.
I have got as far where I have searched for lines that begin with 'Project'. I have changed this also so it's now a question of reading the files in, Deleting the line with the 'Project' number and saving them.

I know how to search a text file for a specific line, but what I don't know is then how to delete that line?My text file is set up as such:
021,Donovan,56 Eynesford Crescent,Bexley,SE5 1TR,09/08/1967,13 March 2012,Bronze
062,Fredrikson,6 Freil Road,Gravesend,GR9 TRB,12/06/1995,13 March 2012,Silver
So I know how to search for the 3 character integer at the beginning of each line, but how do I then delete this line?
I'm currently using this code
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form6
Private Sub SearchBtn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SearchBtn.Click

I'm experiencing a wierd problem deleting some .csv files. Any .csv files named 1.csv, 2.csv, or 3.csv will not delete using delete() method of system.io namespace. if i do any number greater than 3 it works. For example, 4.csv, 5.csv, etc. works fine. 1.xls, 2.xls also is ok. The error it is throwing in my log is 'access to the file is denied.' Nothing is using the file. I even copied a new file into the directory and it does not work. I even created a 1.csv in a totally different directory with no luck. What is going on with this? Has anyone ever experienced this?
View 9 RepliesI don't know VB very well, but I need to create a wrapper program for any executable that logs the arguments, all input, output and err information:

Must log any output and error stream from _someApp process

After _someApp ends I am able to read out and err stream to log it, but I still need to provide my own wrappers input to the process and I want to read out and err stream as it happens.
From few days I am doing efforts to read web pages using webbrowser control in my desktop application. But it is very slower than my expectations(because I want to read lots of pages in minutes and browser control reads almost one page in 5 to 10 seconds), what I need is to read two or three tags written in web page.
So finally I decided to use something, which can give me only source code of page. I think StreamReader will help me to read it. I am not sure if it is flaxible with my purpose, or something else is there which can give me only html source code of web page.
I have written this code to read html code, but it gives error.
