I am using the follow code to obtain source code from my site:
Dim downloader1 As New Net.WebClient
Dim source1 As String = downloader.DownloadString("[URL]")
But there is code in the file which I am loading, something like:
<!-- load time: 0,05ms -->
<!-- Queries: 25 -->
But I want to remove all the <!-- --> lines from source1.
I am in the process of developing a VB.net helper application that will combine two text files into one, remove the extra blank lines, do some calculations and spit out a new and improved text file.
My question is: at the beginning of each file is a header row that starts with a "01". How does one go about removing all of the other "01" rows but leave the first header line?
So far, I have succeeded at removing all of the "01" lines, which isn't what I want but hey, I got it to work

View 2 RepliesI have a multiline textbox where I sometimes get the first and last line of data that is blank.
This is my code that populates the textbox:
txtOutput.Lines = lines.ToArray How can I remove these blank rows?
What I am trying to do is remove lines of a multiline TextBox based on certain criteria, such as the number of characters or words. For example, if I paste a list of phrases into the TextBox, I want to remove all phrases that contain more than 25 characters. Once the phrases are removed, I then want to remove the empty lines that are left behind, but I have commented out the ".Replace(vbCrLf & vbCrLf, vbCrLf)" for the sake of making the results easier to follow (see screenshot from Excel below, which includes a blank cell wherever a phrase has been removed).
Here is my
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim lines() As String = TextBox1.Text.Split(vbCrLf)
[Code]....
Why is it not "blanking" the entire line in ALL cases where the line contains more than 25 characters?
How would I remove certain text from a textbox? I want it to be something like this.
Dim NewText as String = TextBox1.Text.Remove "1" Also, if there is no text, how can I keep it from crashing?
I have two text boxes with a word in each. I am trying to remove both these words from another textbox.

I'm trying to build an app that would search a text file for a string entered by the user, and delete the line of text containing that string. Here's the code I have. The code works, but since I'm relatively new to VB and programming as a whole, I was wondering if there's a better method out there. he strFilePath is handled by the openfilediaglog
Dim strSearch As String = Replace(MaskedTextBox1.Text, "-", "")
Dim strLine As String = Nothing

The only thing I can do for now is either use the substring function to remove the first character from all array values after 0 but I don't like that because it's messy and what if the split "works" as I want it to one one of the lines and knocks of the first character when I don't want it to.
Simple question I couldn't find in the book or online. I have a Button which needs to have permanent text set to 'Calculate' and 'Section' on separate lines. The 'Multiline' option I have seen mentioned does not appear in my properties. I can't 'show the code' as I think it is a properties setting.

I need to be able to search through a text file and find a line of text, then delete that line and the 7 previous lines and also the line following the searched line.

View 4 Replieshow to count the lines in textbox1.text (with multiplelines). I don't need to count each character. I only need to count each line from top to bottom in textbox1.text (multiplelines) and I will use Label1 to display the numbers.
example:
1-pauljaones
2-tommyperrry
3-marktoms
4-Jonessmith
5-paulwhite
Obviously this is 5 lines and that's what I need to count.

View 4 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.
