VS 2008 Search For A Filename In A Folder
Jun 15, 2011
I have an application that has a list of string that needs to be search in a database table field to select rows with the same name and retrive the values of one particular fields that contains the file name with extention for that string. With this new generated text file, I pass the filename with the extension and search the folders that are listed in a txt file. All of this works fine.
Now I need a more simple version of this application, without using the database to get the filename with extension. Instead, read the text file with input strings, search in the folders listed in another text file(to know the location of the folders to search for the string). If any file that matches with the string in the text file, I need to copy those files to another folder.

Quick query...I'm trying to scan a long string and return any values that occur between the tags <FileName> and </FileName> I've got a bit of code here to use regular expressions to return the position of the occurunces of both substrings..Just wanted to find out if there is any way to scan for both substrings within one loop (as im currently doing 2, one for the first substring and one for the 2nd) so I can use something along these lines:
ringlist = Mid(XMLRESP, (startloc + 1), (endloc - 1))
MsgBox(ringlist)
to msg box the value between the substrings...either that or another approach to return the value between the 2 substrings (it can be of variable length)
Dim patternstart As String = "<FileName>"
Dim patternend As String = "</FileName>"
Dim matchesstart As MatchCollection = Regex.Matches(XMLRESP, patternstart)

searching a directory for a file, and if it doesn't find that file to search again for a similar file and notify the user that a image does exist but for a different revision.
Sub GVC_Photo()
Dim photostr As String = "R:itemphotosp_"
Dim photostr2 As String = "R:itemphotosp_"
Dim photostr3 As String = "R:itemphotosp_"
Dim photostr4 As String = "R:itemphotosp_"
[code]....
This code snippet is used in a program called SyteLine, so some of it may be unfamiliar, but its .net based. The item and revision are fed through from the form, so when the string gets built it might look something like this "R:itemphotosp_22554_B_01.jpg" with "22554" being the item, "B" being the revision, and "01" being the image number. So what I want is if it cannot find a file name with revision B in it, to search for a filename with any revision it it "R:itemphotosp_22554_*_01.jpg", if it finds one to display a message that a non-current photo exists, and if it can't find that, to display a message saying there is no photo.

I have several txtfiles in different folders, now I'm trying to program an application which gathers specific informations in multiple txtfiles within a folder and saves them in a new txtfile. The folder with the txtfiles to be searched should be chooseable via a FolderBrowserDialog.I started with a button which contains the FolderBrowserDialog, after I chose a file it shows the path in a textbox and its containing files in a richtextbox:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnLoadFile.Click
fbDialog.SelectedPath = "C:"
fbDialog.ShowNewFolderButton = True
[code]....
sometimes value exists in a block - sometimes not.if "value" exists it should show the whole line starting from "value" and its linenumber and the date of the block in which it found it in a listbox and save all found lines in a new txtfile or directly save in a txtfile without showing them in a listbox.

I'm a beginner in VB Express 2008 code. I would like to write a small program that only has a "Textbox" and a "Button" in VB Form..I would like a code that can check if a filename already exist in a folder.Let's say I have a folder that has all this filenames (eg. test.doc, eddy.doc, anything.doc)So if I entered 'eddy' in the "Textbox", and if I press the "Button", I would like the code to check whether 'eddy' is already exist in that folder.......
Same thing if I entered 'anything' in the "Textbox", and if I press the "Button", I would like the code to check whether 'anything' is already exist in that folder.

I have a console application. I get the console application's folder path via this code:
dim Folder as string Folder = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.Location)
And I need to create a new file with this name Key.txt in the same folder as the console application. Because this file name is rather normal and there is possible duplicate in that folder. How do I prevent duplicate file name while still using simple name for that file?

I am having trouble trying to accomplish a search for a folder with a wildcard within a directory.
The folder will look sort of like this: [2008][560909][Market Change] or [year][number][name]
Thus far this is what I have:
Function searching()
Dim choice, input
Dim strPatheServices
[Code]....
I am uncertain where to go from this other than add the wild card to the exist so like:
System.IO.Directory.Exists(strPatheServicesinput + "*")

I can't find how to search for a folder (directory) that contains a string and copy all the folders (directory) that contain that string to another directory. So you search for the name of the directory, not the files in the directory.For example: 'KTNPRK' in E: gives:E:KTNPRK1, E:AZNKTNPR76, etc...

How would I do that? Sample code is below that demonstrated that the file I opened contained the full path and file name.
I want to extract just the path and serialize that to the user.config file as a UserSetting value. Then next time the user opens the dialog box, it uses that saved path string to go immediately to the location previously used.
If openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
Properties.Settings.Default.persistConnectionType = openFileDialog1.FileName
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();

I have a Listview on my form with different files. I can selet a file en open it with the proces start method. To open the file i use the OpenFileDialog method and select the filename. This work very good. With the code below.
My question is if there is a method to get the selected file without using the OpenFileDialog Box. So when i dubbelclick the selected file the proces will start with open the selected file. Something like:
proc.StartInfo.FileName = Me.SelectedCell.FileName
instead of proc.StartInfo.FileName = Me.OpenFileDialog1.FileName
PS) May be i can preduce the Filename using the OpenFileDialog method on the background.
Private Sub ListView1_MouseDoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles ListView1.MouseDoubleClick
If Me.OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then

I can figure out how to do this, but Im not sure what I should be looking for. I have a database that gets updated about once a month, and when it does, it changes the name of the database file to match the date and time the new database was created.
The file name always starts with DB and the rest of the file name structure is DBYYYYMMDDHHMMSS (After the seconds, the file name is the same for all of the databases)
There are a few things I am trying to do.
1.I want to be able to search the update folder for whatever database is there
2.Trim the file name to return the database name as DBYYYYMMDD
3.Search the local database folder for the specific file name and return it in the same format as the update
4.Compare the two file names and choose which decide if one is newer than the other based on the date
What I need to know is what this would be called and what I would need to use to accomplish this.

I am trying to make a program where I browse for a folder and that Browse dialog displays user selection into a Text Box that part I have completed, when that user selects the folder it will recursively search all folders and subfolders in the directory the user has chosen and display that list in a ListBox here is the code I have so far. Also to note I have found a function for recursively search a folder but I have no idea how to implement it to display in the ListBox from the User selected directory.
This code is the code that lets the user select the folder and display it in the textbox
Private Sub SourceButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SourceButton.Click
With SourceBrowse
[Code].....
On a side note I also want the list to display all the files in the folder as well.

I'm doing a uni assignment and my application has to go to a specific folder and locate a file for data.The folder has 300+ files in it with a specific format for the naming of the files ie. the program goes to the folder looking for one specific file that has been derived from a different function and user input in the form.The program works fine when the file that it is searching for is there, but I keep getting a FileNotFoundException whenever the file that it's looking for is not there.I don't want the application to throw an exception every time the file doesn't exist because the program needs to return back to the loop to see if the next file is there or not.And so the loop continues until it's found all data and loaded it all into an array.How can I do a check of the folder to search for the file, and if it's not there, go to the next step without throwing an exception?
