I am helping a friend convert files from floppy to CD. The files are in WordPerfect for DOS (8.3)format. she named the files as follows: name.month eg; Baker.jan. if there were more than 1 "Baker" files in the same month she named them baker1.jan,Baker2.jan etc... She then copied them to floppies and when one got full she started another. The problem is I have multiple instances of the same filename on different disks so when I copy to my HD windows asks if I want to overwrite the files. I have been writing the names down and renaming them manually. Is there any way to automate this process? I would need to perform the following:
1. Check if floppy filename exists on HD already
2. if it doesn't, copy to HD
3. if it does, is it the same file or different file with the same name (file size has been a good indicator so far)
4.If it's the same =>ignore and go to next file on disk
5. if different, rename then copy to HD then go to next file
6. repeat until all files have been copied
I have 300+ disks to do this with and it is very time consuming.
I am making a program where I want to copy & rename a file. I want to copy a file from a directory which I can choose (by OpenFileDialog1.FileName), then copy or move it to a directory. This directory has been newly made and named (progdirCollin). Let's say the file is called cv.pdf then I want it to be moved to the new dir and rename it Collin.pdf. The extensions can also be .rtf or .doc and I want them to be left unchanged. So I want to copy or move a file, rename it, but keep the extension of the file, which can be all kinds of file (vb.pdf to collin.pdf or vb.txt to collin.txt.)
Explained : 1. Put in the name of the person = V 2. Pick a file with the openfiledialog = V 3. Make a directory with the name of the person in the appdir = V 4. Copy / Move the file to the new directory = V 5. Then rename the file to the persons name, but keep the .doc / .pdf / .rtf etc = ? All V = Done
how can i either copy/move/rename & delete a file in program files directory? [c ode]i already have the form which grabs the updated file and it save it to temp directory ready for copying, just stuck here as of the access denied.
I did a project in VB for a class last week. This weeks project requires we add on to the last project. Is there a way to copy the whole project, then modify the copied version so I can keep the original?
I have an excel sheet with two columns. One column is the name of a file and the other column is a name that will be added to the filename once the file has been copied.
Example: Column B = test.tif Column A = find
The result will be = find_test.tif once the file has been copied and renamed......
All is good, however, it appears my program is not looking in subfolders and only in the main directory folder for the images.
What I have so far for the copy portion:
'copy the files specified in column 1 of the first sheet of the Excel workbook 'from the folder given by txtSrce to the folder given by txtDest Dim xls As New Excel.Application
is there any code to copy and rename data within the sql server.actually i reated a database which will be like default template and ever company will have the similar database with different name.So what i want when a new company is created, a copy of default database will be created with new name.
I have a program that I have been creating for work, however, I am down to the last part and can't figure it out......The code below copies files from one directory to another from a list of file names in the first column of an excel sheet. This part works fine. What I am trying to figure out is how can I have a prefix in column B where it renames the file while being copied to the destination folder?
A while ago I wrote a quick and very very simple program to test myself on about 10 questions I needed to remember the answer to. I made a form with a label, text box and button. the label contained the question and the answer was entered into the textbox and the button was pressed to check the answer. the code i used was very similar to this:[code] Because I only had 10 questions it was fine to copy and paste the code a few times and rename the questions but now i am going to use this again but for a lot more questions (in the end there will be a couple of hundred) so i was wondering if any one knew a better way to do this? I was thinking maybe an array like 1 to hold the questions and 1 to hold the answers but i haven't worked much with arrays so I'm not sure how difficult this would be ?
I'm trying to create a software in VB.Net to disable the following from a Windows 7 pc. Cut, copy, paste, rename, delete, open, print, share, create shortcut, open with, send to, properties. i want to give users the option of disabling them selectively/individually via checkboxes so those options will be disabled in the right-click of a mouse. I'm aware that to do so I must disable them from the Windows registry.
My problem is I don't know which is the right key to disable as the registry is so huge & some keys are similiarly named. say what are the exact key locations of the above-mentioned right-click functions in the Windows Registry ?
I'm trying to create a software in VB.Net as my uni project to disable the following from a Windows 7 pc. I think they have to be disabled from the context menu of the Windows Registry, but instead of disabling the whole context menu, I'd like to disable the following individually.Cut, copy, paste, rename, delete, open, print, share, create shortcut, open with, send to, new, properties.I want to give users the option of disabling them selectively/individually via checkboxes so those options will be disabled in the right-click of a mouse.My problem is I don't know which is the right key to disable as the registry is so huge & some keys are similiarly named.Could anyone help me to say what are the exact key locations of the above-mentioned right-click functions in the Windows Registry or how to go about this ?
Right now I upload a temp image file, delete the original, and then rename the temp to the original. Is there any way to rename without deleting first? I am doing this in a loop for a webcam program and when I delete the image, it shows a broken image if it is being veiwed right then. I wish I could allow it to overwrite when calling the rename. FYI, I have to upload a temp image first because if I upload the original, it will show as a broken image or partial at timed when being viewed.
I add a mainmenu I have to edit InitializeComponent().I tried to take a shortcut and copy an existing menu and then rename it. Big mistake. If you have done it, do not do it again.Anyone have an idea of how to get me back on track? I have done a rebuild, closed VB etc.

I am looking to compare lines within a .csv file. I want to start at the bottom line and compare values within it to those in the line above and then repeat the process, ie. the second bottom line to the third bottom line and so on.The code used to compare straight out variables I can handle, the difficultly for me lies in identifying particular lines and fields within a text file.If someone would be kind enough to provide the code for this, I have googled it but it's clearly beyond my ability.

As you can see this class get the .html text and copy to one .txt file. Then it reads the .txt file. Now I just need to compare the string it read with one string from another form... How do I do it? Do I need to change the code?
I would like to read a txt file and then check if the same name exist within its sublevel.If found within the sublevel, delte those line.sample txt file:

this time im looking for a faster-than-fast way to read binary files into a string/buffer/whatever, like Delphi's BlockRead does.i need this for an application that checks a list of folders/files and looks for multiple files, and handles them according to specific criteria.
I know there are standard solutions for this, like DuplicateFileRemover (gotta love that sheep! ), but i need something custommade, coz i want to handle the duplicates automatically too, and im talking about GigaBytes of data i have to periodically clean out this way..So far, the algorithm i use to determine if 2 files are equal is this:
I'm willing to compare a textfile (whatever) which contains a few lines of text. After the comparison it should download and replace the "changed" folder/file. E.g.
I am working on a program to match overlapping images together to make one complete image. This isn't for panoramic purposes, it is from a video game generated overhead map, so there is no perspective issues to deal with and the overlapping images (gained from screenshots while a player moves) should be pixel perfect (still running tests to verify this, but lets assume they are pixel perfect at this time).
1) I need to compare each new (small) overhead map section to the larger map, find what edge it fits on, and copy it over.On other forums I have seen people suggest taking the bitmap apart in the form of an array of colors, or 3 arrays per image for r, g, and b. I am wondering why this is done instead of directly going to the bitmap object and using GetPixel. Is an Array lookup significantly faster? Speed would be an issue with my program, I would like to do this match as fast as possible, and the overall map could become large, even if I keep making new map sections to manually paste together later.So, faster to loop through a graphic with getpixel, or faster to go through 3 two-dimensional arrays with r, g, and b, or faster to go through 1 three-dimensional array with rgb all inside it?
2) The bitmap object that contains the overall map will keep getting larger. What is the best way to resize that bitmap dynamically?I am thinking of just making a new, larger bitmap when I get near an edge, then using getpixel and setpixel to copy over the old bitmap to the new one. Is there a faster way to make a new, larger bitmap object containing the old one with the graphics class? I admit to finding the graphics class somewhat confusing in how methods on it affect the image object that is defined as it's surface...or something. There might be a faster way with graphics and drawimage, but is that really faster than a getpixel/setpixel loop? Finally, if I do store the graphics data in arrays instead of actual bitmap objects, would redimming the array be the best way? If I need more room at the 'beginning' of the array I would have to make a new array and then copy the data over shifted. And this might involve 3 arrays if it is best to use one each for r, g, b.
they need to make some compare version between host version and client version.. and each 1 version different will download the file to the client..[URL]..with both example, how can i make a program in VB.NET just like i said just now?
So, I have a task where I need to basically copy about 600,000 PDFs, some of which can be 5-6 MBs from one network fileshare to another network fileshare on another pc.Now, I crawled through the directories, sub-directories etc etc and created what I call a Filename/Filepath Database lookup table. This table contains the name and the unc fileshare path of each file which comes in handy.I have used Multi-threading and File.Copy to "copy" the files and I getting about 45K files per 4 hours which I need to be significantly faster then that and I am seeing performance degrade over time
I have a program that uses IO.File.Copy to copy files from point a to point b. Its slow, which is fine because there rather large files. I was wondering if there is way to get an estimate time to copy a particular file(s).
Example: File a will take 1 hour to copy, File B will take 30 minutes to copy. Estimate Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes.
