Dec 25, 2011I have to find a string in a huge text file ( ~ 50MB) and then replace it.Since it's quite huge I tend to open the file and then read line by line, and then replace the necessary line(s) (rather than "readall" the file of course).My question is how to replace the whole line?Let's say I found the line that should be replaced . I know I can create a copy file and copy all lines into there ... but I'd prefer to replace the line in the original file rather than creating a copy instance.

View 2 RepliesSearch And Replace A Very Large File
Dec 6, 2010I have a 133 Mb file which contains almost a million records. Currently, a user loads this file into KEdit (a great editor for working with large files) and changes occurrences of a dollar sign $ to blank and takes negative numbers represented as such with parentheses and changes that to a negative sign. That is, (5000.23) would become -5000.23. So the leading ( becomes a - and the trailing ) becomes a blank. I believe the only occurrences of ( and ) are around the numbers I want to change, so I don't have to worry about changing something that should have been left alone. Using VB.NET in Visual Studio 2008, is there a "painless" way to do this other than reading the file one record at a time and searching/replacing and writing the record out? While not really painful, I am worried about how long that will take (to run, not to code ). Is that a valid concern?
My long range goal is to automate many of the routine file preparation tasks my users do. We get an input file from 15 clients. The file can be in any format the client has chosen to give us, and it is our burden to reformat any errant fields into an acceptable format for insertion into our database.

Find And Replace In A Text File?
Jun 3, 2011I am making a program for work, i have it partly coded, unfortunately i don't have a wifi connection for my laptop right now which makes it hard to add my code here. What i am trying to do is have the user pull in a text file from anywhere on the computer using a open file box that pops up, i got that part, to make sure that is working i have a textbox that reads the data of that text file, it gets pulled in fine using a stream reader. Now what i need to do is search the text file for certain values, and depending on the selected item in the listbox which is on another form, change that value in the text file, im guessing i will need to use a stream writer, and ive seen examples used based on the file location(C:....) but in my case im not sure how to do it.
