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).
View 1 RepliesI am using this to read the contents of a file and displaying it in the RichTextBox:
[Code]...
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'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!

Here is my code.

When attempting to collaborate with other employees, it is necessary to contact them. CompanyX needs a tool that allows an employee to quickly get another employee�s contact information and general business context that employee works in. The tool should allow searching (including partial matches) by employee name or employee id. If multiple employees are returned by a search, a list of the employees matching the search criteria should be displayed with the following data for each employee: first name, last name, employee id, division (one division has many employees), organization (one organization has multiple divisions), and job title. If only one employee matches the search criteria (or if one employee is selected in the list described above), the tool should display full data. Full data for an employee consists of first name, last name, employee id, nickname, division, organization, job title, phone number, cell phone number, pager, USPS address, fax number, internal mail address.
Let me start with the basic of this: the search. I have never had to do a search using web services. With that said I have tried to apply what I know about doing a search from a database and came up with this
Partial Class Search
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

I had made an app that opens a file and changes a hex byte then when I click another button it saves it.I am now thinking of making an app that will change some hex bytes to something else, but the catch is that not every file will have some of the hex bytes that others will. Like I want it to search for 71, 13, 31, and 11, and change them to 15, but not all files will have say a 71 or some might not have a 13 or a 31...Also, if there was a couple of bytes in a row that I needed to change, say F132, would I be able to search for all of that at once, and then change it to something like F133?

View 2 RepliesHow would I make a program that would search through a .txt file, and find certain predetermined keywords. Basically, I have a very simple keylogger on my son's laptop to keep an eye on him. My hope is that I would make a program that would go through the .txt file, and if one of the keywords is found, then I would have the program execute a little something I have cooked up to warn to stop. The only problem is, I do not know how to search through the .txt file.
