I was wondering it's it possible to read all the text being displayed from a console/terminal/cmd application (What ever you want to call it).
I would then want to echo that text in a text box.
I am trying to create a console application that does the following:
1) read a text file
2) Save the content over to a SQL Server database
3) Use command line arguments to allow user to specify any delimited file
What i want to do, is to get my console application to read from a .txt file (with one word per line), and randomly select a line from that file and declare it as chosenword. However, i am not sure what i must do to do that.
View 3 RepliesI have VB.net console application. I would like to read the (ConnectionString) from a web.config.
Web.config is located at a particular path in my virtual PC, say "C:/mywebConfig"
<add name="MY_DB" connectionString="Data Source=DATASOURCE;Initial Catalog=DB;Persist
Security Info=False; User ID=***;Password=****;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
My code:
Dim connString As String = String.Empty
connString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("MY_DB").ConnectionString
Whenever I try to access it, i get the error not set to an instance of an object or something like that :)
I tried to add the web.config in my Project, but still get the error.

View 5 RepliesI have an application that telnets into a server and we ping a bunch of IPs. What I need to do is it will automatically ping it like "ping iphere" the output looks like "64 bytes from machine&hostnamehere (iphere): icmp_seq=0 ttl=121 time=60 ms. What I need to know is how I can read those lines then if it "iphere" matches the pinged ip it will update my txt file. The only thing I need is reading the lines to see if it pings. One thing is if it doesnt ping it doesn't say anything its just empty space.

then input a following time that serves as the DTR of the employee for five days note:5 days here are constant. so its much easier to debug.then take note. it must be 24-hr format. 1:00 - 24:00 12:00 - 13:00 are not included on the pay.if the employee or the entered time is 8:00 time in and 17:00 time out. it will return as 8hours only. assuming that the employee has its lunchbreak.hours will going to be save in a separate file which is dtr.

View 3 RepliesI was thinking of adding a simple bandwidth monitor to a console application and I was wondering if it would be possible to keep a line in the console window visible at all times. I could set something up manually to pass new console output into a method that would get the contents of the console, clear the console, add the bandwidth data on the first row, then rewrite each line of previous information back to the console, etc.. but that seems like a really hacky way to go about it, and I'd be limited to the amount of rows visible at once in the console window (no scrolling).

View 12 RepliesHow do I get the console from closing immediatley upon opening in a Console Application program? I have all of the code written but when I run the program it pops up the console window and then immediatley exits so I am unable to read what is in the window to see if my program is operating correctly. This is the first time I've ever used a console window so I don't know where in the code I would need to put "whatever it is" I might need to put to keep the window open until closed by the user.
View 7 RepliesIt sounds confusing but it's not really. What I need is basically a way to emulate the console style text, without using a console. What I'm really doing is trying to do a matrix effect on my form background, by drawing symbols and moving them, alternating their colors (see this video for what I mean).
Is there a way to do this effectively with a timer and a draw event, with the timer calling the draw event and changing the intervals?
I am trying to read text from a 3rd party application. I can create a catalogue of all possible letter variations. I can store every possible character I encounter as a small bmp, or perhaps as an array/matrix of pixel values. For example:
xxxxOOxxxx
xxxxOOxxxx
xxxxOOxxxx
xxxxOOxxxx
xxxxOOxxxx
the letter "I" could be represented in a 10x5 array or matrix as above. Where x represents a wildcard pixel value, but O represents the expected/pre-defined RGB value.
I want to search specific areas of the screen, pixel by pixel where I expect to find the information I'm after. And convert this to usable information. What method gives the best trade-off for simplicity and speed? And how can I implement this method? How do I search for a bmp within a bmp at specific coordinates?
