I'm trying to search for text that is known to be in a TextBox.
Once it is found, I want to return the line number it was found on.
Also, I would like to know how to delete all blank lines from a TextBox.
These two problems have been plaguing me for the last 2 days.
How can I search, for example ID Number, and want to highlight the listview item found in search from my first form? I'm using combobox from my second form to search.
View 6 RepliesI'm new here, but have been in and out for a while. Past threads have been helping me along thus far.
I'm currently developing an app which essentially needs a way for me to search in a text box or file for a specific string, and extract the line on which that string appears on. It will be unique, and the syntax is the same on each line. It has basically 2 ID numbers, and is laid out like this:
123456|123456
So, I'd need to search for the first part before the |, and then get the line so I can get the bit after the |, which is the important bit for me.
I have sucessfully written in excel VBA. The idea is to used the textbox1_change event to find a match in column A of table and once it finds the record, return the value of column B as label1.text. [code] In VB 2008 it's a lot different. I have set up the form the same way with the textbox and labels. I have made a dataset with (1) table (Table1) with (2) columns. Lets call them column A and Column B.I have added the dataset as a binding source to the form and also a table adapter. I also have a standardized query made for the dataset with a very simple SQL statement "SELECT Column A, Column B from Table1"..In order to get the user input to start searching Column A I assume under the textbox_change event i would put something like: [code] I'm getting a bunch of errors of course. Would somepne be able to give me some direction?

View 11 RepliesI was hoping someone could assist with the following coding; I am trying to search a very large csv file (approx 200,000 lines) for a user defined string eg "0100020789" and I essentially want to print all the lines that contain this to a text box on screen. Please not that the csv file does not have standardised column headings, each line is different. There would be approx 5 lines that contain the input string.
I am concerned with the v large csv i am using which will prob slow everything down, but then I thought if simple text pad application can search for a string in complete files with similar sizes like that and return a result in less than 1second, then it must be do-able.
I have the following problem where in VS2005 VB I am returning all text in a text file to a rich textbox for preview purposes. Once I have returned this I am searching for a specific word (sv_hostname) and I need it to return a different result (Server name Here)on the same line to a text box. For example: Test file contains lots of lines where one of the lines would look like this within the text file.
set sv_hostname �Server Name Here�
I want textbox1 to only show Server Name Here The user must then be able to modify this and append this to the text file/rich textbox.
My Code so far:
vb.net
Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
Dim ServerName As String

Using VB 2008 with Access database I'm trying to make a search field (txtSearch), but I'm not getting success with code in the button (cmdSearch). I'm making this manually, not using the Query Builder, and the result will be displayed in a datagridview (added to the form dragging the table from the Datasource Panel). So, the datagrid is already populated (with no SQL). What code must I use for the cmdSearch, to return the txtSearch.Text (or part of it) in the Datagridview? I've tried this: "Select Product, Price, Quantity FROM tblProducts WHERE Product LIKE txtSearch.Text & '*'" (but it doesn't work).

View 11 Repliesi have form1 with combobox1 and rtb1 i would like to search the rtb1 for combobox1 selected value and return the first 9 characters from the line with the result.
COMBOBOX1
ADRIATIC
AMERICA

so if combobox1 selected.value = "BALTIC" then i would like "1209-4756" to become a named string (eg, cda = 1209-4756)
I can search for items in first listview column using FindItemWithText. I wonder is it possible to search in other listview columns and highlight found text, not all item line? My Listview contains multiple items and each item has 9 subitems. I would like to search in column 4.

Currently I have a gridview bound to a datatable which is populated with groups from the AD. I need to be able to add search functionality so users can type in part of a group name and have the results display only groups that fit their search criteria.
Here's what I have so far.
<asp:TextBox ID="searchParam" runat="server"></asp:TextBox><asp:button ID="btnSearch" runat="server" Text="Search" />
<asp:GridView ID="dgSearchDLs" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="cn" DataSourceID="ObjectDataSource1">

I just joined this forum as I've been looking for a nice and serious VB forum for a long time
I'm having troubles making a program to search a text file line by line for a specific string.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader("C: est.txt")
[Code]...
as you can see in the code its supposed to read a text file and if the line contains the same string as in the textbox then its gonna make a messagebox.
now the problem, if the line does not contain the specific string but the next or any line other line does, then it should automatically read the next line on "Else" and that's where I'm lost
for a "Readnextline" command or something like that?
I'm trying to search for a specific text inside of a textbox.If the text is found, I want all lines above to be deleted.
View 8 RepliesI've created a basic search form. I have a textbox with a search button and an Access Database as the backend. I have also added it as a new datasource. What I'm looking to do is grab the search string from one textbox and return the data to another textboxt. I have a table called "VehicleInfo" and I want to search the field in my table called "VehicleID" and return the vehicleID I searched for into another textbox. I'm really new to VB. I understand databases and basic code structure, I just don't have a good grasp yet on how these two work together.

What I am trying to do here is search a multi-line textbox that contains the source of a particular website.what I would like is something like this but i do not know how to right it like i need
Dim MyString, FirstWord, LastWord, MidWords As String MyString = "Mid Function Demo" ' would be the textbox FirstWord = Mid(MyString, 1, 3) ' Returns "Mid". LastWord = Mid(MyString, 14, 4) ' Returns "Demo". MidWords = Mid(MyString, 5) ' Returns "Function Demo".
this function works fine only when you define len.what I need is a function that will do something like this, "note obviously interpreted code"
Dim text, A,B,C as string text = textbox1 A = "<body>" B = "information between A and C being of variable len" C = "</body>" textbox2 = B
I do not want anything like,
remove "<>?|?()}{][" etc.
how can I search a textbox for a string within a string and if certain word (string) found enable a timer?
View 3 Repliesa user copies multiple lines of text (say, from an email) into the clipboard. Based on my observations, when one tries to paste the text into a single-line textbox, only the first line is actually pasted in. (I am aware that the "obvious" solution would be to set the Multiline property to True, but there are reasons I am looking to avoid this and to put multi-line data into a single line.)
In the TextChanged event handler, I wrote code that parses the clipboard data to successfully convert it to a single-line, comma-delimited format.
