i have done this a couple of years ago but i completely forget how i did it. I want a means of searching every file whether it be in sub folders, or sub folders of the sub folders and comparing the attributes of the file.
In other words, my program will search every file on the computer. For each file that it searches my program will attempt to io.file.readalltext etc.. the file. If the contents eqaul "....." then actions will hapen. If the file is greater then a certain size then actions will happen etc...
I want to see the attributes of each searched file, i will be using Dim FI as new FileInfo().
So how do i search each file in a directory? and all directories in the directory and so on?
I am using this code to get files, but I can not get it to search for all files on C: drive.how can I get it to show all files Like *.pdf of the drive in the list box
Imports System.IO Imports System Imports System.Drawing
I wrote a program that can kinda of read Docx files. I can extract the text of the file and the metadata that word puts in the file not the stuff you see when you write click and go to properties. I Can extract and view that data I'm working on making the subroutine (i don't know if its an algorithm there is no math.Anyway I want this to be a forensic program where it will scan the whole hard drive and add all the docx files to a listbox. I found this code
Dim file_names As ReadOnlyCollection(Of String) Dim directory As String = "c:" Dim searchFor As String = "windows"
[code]....
but some folders that where hidden like $inplace they were left over from my windows 7 upgrade. they cause it to crash. is there anyway to be able to scan every folder on the PC. I tried launching the complied .exe by right clicking and hitting run as admin but it still crashed when i executed that code.
Full of questions today (mostly because its the weekend and I'm playing around in vb 2008...anyway...more to the point ) What i want is a small system that will do a quick search for a specific file location. What this is going to be used for is to search for a file and copy that file to the program folder (I already have a way to copy it).
I need a file search for my Visual Basic 2008 program. Do you guys know a way to start off? I've heard that you need admin priveledge for some file searches, but I don't want any of those kind of things since it would be a bug to the user.
I have a folder containing about 100 word documents (.docx format)... I want to make a search application for them. How to read a document using the openxml method... but my query is how to search for text, shall I load each one and carry out the search in the textbox?
I have a folder that contains .txt, .pdf, etc files. I want to check if the folder contains a .txt file.If yes, I have to perform some action, if no, no action will be performed.I have this sample code to do the above, but with the know .txt file name.
I'm creating a search function to search through a binary file and find a record based on the users input. Surprisingly, that isn't the problem! The problem I'm having is that as part of this I'm using a procedure to display results in text boxes, and I'm getting the error "Too many arguments to private sub display customer"I've encountered this error before, but never really knew what it was... Here is my code.
Private Sub btnSearch_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSearch.Click FilenameCust = "F:\College\CustomersFile.bin"
I m trying to move all my drive's files into h drive firstly i have added all drives in threadpool for scanning and when scanning of any drive finish (Without waiting for other drive's complete ) it will move file's to h drive but it is not working as i wanted that's why i need two threadpool - one threadpool for scanning files and second threadpool for moving file's into drive's
I was using the following code to check the file size of a data file on my local machine. Now the data files have been moved to a mapped network drive and this code no longer works. What do I need to change or how do I access file size on a mapped drive?
Dim MyFile As New FileInfo(MyFilePath) Dim FileSize As Long = MyFile.Length
I'm running the following WMI script to get the associations between drive letters and physical drives on the system, but for some reason it omits CDROMs/DVD-ROMs. Can someone tell me how to get those as well?
Code: ComputerName = "." Set wmiServices = GetObject _ ("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=Impersonate}!//" & ComputerName) Set wmiDiskDrives = wmiServices.ExecQuery _ ("SELECT DeviceID FROM Win32_DiskDrive")
I have a program that allows the user to enter a drive letter into a text box. The program then takes the letter and find the physical drive number (i.e. deviceharddisk3..). It then stripes out everything and leaves me with the number 3.
In VB6 I used mDrive.bas from vbAccelerator.com and it worked perfectly. I have been all over the internet and back and cannot find a solution written in VB.NET.
I want to make a tool that will assign a USB pen drive a drive letter, I am using WMI to acknowledge the device being plugged in, I can pull the deviceID, name, etc now I just need to work out how to assign the device to a drive and I just cant figure it out
The drive is connected via USB and the problem I'm having is that, periodically, while my code is executing, the usb drive seems to disconnect and reconnect. (Nothing to do with the program, but the drive itself).I want to find a way to prevent these temporary drive reconnects from interrupting my code. IE, i want to insure that whatever read or write that is requested is actually executed even in the case of a temporary drive interruption.
I am trying to get the physical drive (device) number from the drive letter. If the user inputs the drive letter C the program will find the associated physical device number. For example if I input C then the result needs to be \Device\HardDrive1\... Some call it NT Device Name; I think. I have the code for VB6 from vbAccelerator, which works perfectly, but it does not work in VB.NET. My question is there a simple way of pulling the drive info that contains the drive letter and the physical device number. I have searched the internet and found nothing for VB.NET. I would post code but I have nothing for .NET.
I have a program I am converting from VB6 to VB.NET and I am stuck at the very last piece of code. I need to determine what physical device number is associated with the drive letter.
The program takes the drive letter from a text box and goes and finds the device number (i.e. deviceharddrive3...) and strips out everything leaving me with the devicer number; in this case the number 3. I have searched the internet to and fro and found nothing in VB.NET.
My program in VB6 uses a .bas module from vbaccelerator.com called mDrive.bas and works great. I can't figure out how to convert it over to VB.NET.
I have a server with a C: drive and a D: drive. My ASP.NET application is on D: drive as follows:
D:inetpubvhostsmywebsite.com
I want my application to read and download files located on C:sessionVideos My problem is how do I create an URL pointing to the "C:sessionVideos" folder?
I'm creating a small program using Visual Basic 2010 Express. I'm planning to place the program on a CD, along with the files I want to run. The program will have command buttons, and each button will open a different file.For example, if there is a file on the CD named ReadMe.txt, the user will be able to open it using the program, which is on the same disc as "ReadMe", by clicking the corresponding button (or link) ("ReadMe".)The problem is, that I don't know what the CD drive letter will be. Is there a code to make the program run a file which is in the same location as the program?
I have been searching all over the forum and internet, but seems to have a hard time finding some help on how to search for a file at unknown location.
The reason is that, I made an easy form that helps some friends of mine find around a website more quickly.
Now this is what I want.
They have a game installed on the computer, and I want my program to search for this file and execute it afterwords.
F.eks
I have 4 HD's and WOW is on the 3rd. I want this software to search all the HD's to search for Wow.exe.
We have a shared drive which has a folder in which we programatically store the reports we create in MS Access. Sometimes the user will lose the rights to insert the files in (write access) to that folder. But we are not shown any system generated error messages for this while adiing the reports. At a lter point of time we will come to know that those reports were not saved.I am looking for a code to check whether we have the write access to the particular folder and if not, throw a suitable error message.
I have a VB.Net 2010 app and need to delete a file from the hard drive when the app opens up (cache file). What command will perform this action? I know the name in advance, so I can format the command right in the app.
I have developed a visual basic app in Visual studio 2008. I have created a windows installer file. Can I deploy this on a network drive and does .NET framework have to be installed on server? The application has a MS access database associated with it, so I would like to have it backed up via the network.
I need to detect if a file exists within drive C: but I do not know in advance in which directory it should be located so this means that I have to search the entire disk. Is there a way to perform this process directly (through an existing method for example) or do I have to write code for getting the directory structure and search each directory?
