I need to obtain the full path for a file located in somewhere in the system search path for executable files, when I only have the file name. Another user came up with the following code. However I was hoping to find something that is more directly supplied by the system, rather than a "roll your own" solution such as this one. Also, the solution below could run into problems, however unlikely, because it is possible for Windows file and folder names to contain semicolons. The split function doesn't pay any attention to quotes, and could therefore improperly split a path that includes a folder name with an embedded semicolon.
Private paths() As String = Split(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH"), ";")
Private messageOutput As String
Private fileInPath as String = "notepad.exe" ' for example[code]....
i got to do a program in VB.NET that copies a file from a pc to a usb device. I use the method System.IO.File.Copy(FileToCopy, NewCopy) in which i have to specify the destination path. The problem is that when i change pc the destination can change: for example in my pc i read my USB pendrive o G: and on my friend pc i read the usb pendrive on E:. How can i solve that? May i specify a general path to my USB giving it a name or anything similar?
View 5 RepliesOk so I have a small problem with an error I am catching. It only produces the file name and not the actual path of the file.I want to delete a folder and all the files and folders inside of it. However an error is thrown when a file is "read-only". A quick fix would be to set the attributes of that file to normal and then try again, the only problem is the error doesn't give you the location of the file.

I'm running windows 7 64 bit and using VS 2010. I'm trying to use the filesystem.getfiles to find a file on the computer and return the path for it. However, when I search C:/ and its subdirectories, it always throws an error: "A first chance exception of type 'System.UnauthorizedAccessException' occurred in mscorlib.dll"
I've looked everyone online and can't find a solution. I have administrator privileges and really I dont want people who use my app to have to adjust security settings for this to work. Is there not a way to search the C drive for a specific file and return its path? [Code]
I have a huge .txt file which contains X & Y data seperated by serialization. Each serialization contains 1K x and y data points, the text file is about lines 1,340,000 long. Sometimes I need to go into the .txt file and find certain sets of data so I can plot and overlay them which gets tedious. I am going to write an application that I can just write the serialization into a text box on a form and and it will seach all of the txt files for the right data, put them into arrays, and then load them up into excel. My question is how would I search the .txt file for the correct serialization? Would I first read it into an array and then try and split it that way, or is there a way to just open the .txt file and search for the serialization without putting it into an array first?
View 3 RepliesI have a huge amount of data in flat-file format that I would like to validate with Visual Basic 2010. Basically the data is a text file with 300 comma separated fields and 500,000 records.
Any tips, sample code or examples? Are any .NET classes specifically geared for data validation?
As I have different validation rules for each field (some fields are dates, some are currency, etc.) I would like to store the rules away from the code (e.g. in an SQL database table). Has anyone seen this done before?
Such as the text file has 5000 lines and 500000 columns. Each line has the format "xxx,yyy,zzz,000,...."

View 2 RepliesMy app is a fairly simple and im sure with the right knowledge this would take 2 minutes.. but sadly iv been at it for hours. So my scenario here is a huge network with 20+ file servers all with data spread out across them it can take hours to find the folder required.
Hence this app.. so it consist of a input box, progress bar and a button, using FileSystemObject I plan to interrogate a directory to see if a folder exists (folder specified by user input) however it need to check multiple directories, in my old app I used a list box which wrote to a text file allowing the user to add additional directories then using if statements proceeded through the servers.. however they have added that much that my IF's have ran out really because i know it should have been a loop

I'm coding this neat little project that's kind of a hack into the SanDisk U3 Cruzer's ability to have both a CDFS and FAT32 File System. This is helpful because the program is burned to the CDFS (It's basically slip streamed as an .ISO in place of the original U3 .ISO), and the settings files (which I've developed as text files) are placed on the root of the flash drive. The program itself is VERY simple actually, except I'm having a slight issue that's really driving me insane:
The drive path of the Flash Drive won't be the same from computer to computer. I.E... The files are "UAI.txt" and "UInfo.txt". The root of the drive on my comp is "I:", but on my laptop is "F:". So if I program the path from my computer as the absolute path, an exception is thrown when the path changes on another computer. I cannot have this happen. It is probably THE MOST crucial element to this program. How can you save and read info if you can't find the files? =P
So I've gone through so many threads and forums trying to find a batch of code to allow me to make the path relative. I've found the following code (modified, of course). It works PERFECT in Debug, but throws an exception once packaged to the CDFS partition:

View 2 RepliesI have several resource files I would like to be able to access in my Visual Basic program by using code. I have added them in folders in the projects folder, and have also chose the "Include in project" option for them all. However, I am a bit confused when it comes to the correct format for linking them with the code. I didn't think using a full path (starting from the C: drive), then linking to my main project folder, would be a good idea since when the end user installs it, the path would be invalid. I tried to type the path like this: "ResourceVideoABCImage000.jpg" however, I receive an Invalid Parameter error. The only way to make it work is to enter the entire path name.
