I'm working on a CMS web app (aren't we all) and wondering if it's better to store the content of web pages as files on disk rather than text fields in MS MSQL.
There will be thousands of pages, a lot of content, so I was loathe to burden the database when it might be quicker this way.
Does anyone know if retrieving the contents of a file on disk is overall faster than reading it from a large database field?
I have created a code in VB.NET to read data from text files. Data is read from a list of files, where each file is changed using a for loop. Data is written to a new text files. Each file is read one by one and written in the same way. Now, my speed of execution is very slow. I am using a Quadcore processor with only 20-30% of CPU utilization when my code runs. Is there anyway I can increase the speed of reading and writing? To read only 125 files it takes 10 minutes or more, which is very slow indeed, because in the end I need to read thousands of files and write them. Each file is approxiamately 30-50kb.
Here is my code.
Public Sub ReadRMRDataFileIntoTextFiles()
'Read in the customerids once up front
Dim customerids As Collections.Generic.List(Of String)

View 2 RepliesIm designing a program that will read from various text files (preferably RTF files) and then put them into the RTF box in the program when a button is clicked.
Here is the portion of my code that i am referring to.
Try
Dim fileText As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("c:\" & selectedHero & ".rtf")
infoDisplay.AppendText(fileText)
infoDisplay.Rtf.Format()
Catch
MsgBox("Selected Hero currently has no File with us.")
End Try
Now heres the problem. In the file i have a few pictures and its formatted and what not. I thought since its a RTF file and the Box is RTF it would auto format.... but anyways. It appears like this in the RTF Box.
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}}
{\*\generator Msftedit 5.41.15.1507;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs20{\object\objemb{\*\objclass Paint.Picture}\objw3000\objh3000{\*\objdata

On a image file (PDF), the OCR has recognised the picture and text. However on Visual Basics, how do you search for a text on this image file? The primary goal is to allow a text search (i.e POxxxxx) on all the image files (PDFs). The returns of the search will be the assciated image files where the text (i.e POxxxxx) is found on.

View 11 RepliesI'm getting a problem when writing text files using StreamWriter. The files read fine and they write fine if I'm not overwriting an existing file. They also write ok as long as I'm not writing over a file that only has one digit at the end of the name. For some reason when there are 2 digits at the end it crashes when I'm trying to save over an already existing text file. Here's my code.
StringForTextFile = "C:" & Folder4PS & "" & IDCodewDashOrN & "Series" & Series & "ScreenNumber" & ScreenNumber & ".txt"
LblTesting.Visible = True ' Testing
LblTesting.Text = "StringForTextFile = " & StringForTextFile
[code]....
above but 've tried all the different Encoding possibilites. Unicode, UTF32, UTF8, UTF7 as well as without those parameters listed where the close parentheses is right after StringForTextFile. I get the same result. If I'm writing a new text file that doesn't exist, then no problem or if I'm writing over an existing text file but it has 0 to 9 at the end then I'm ok but if I'm writing over an existing file and there is 10 or above(haven't tried triple digits or all values) then my application crashes. You see the test label in the code above because I was looking at exactly what file it was trying to overwrite and it is just as it should be.
Should I be using a different procedure? An example of a string that would cause a crash for the string StringForTextFile would be:
C:Name of My AppSeries1ScreenNumber10.txt
If it was being written for the first time then no problem or if the 10 at the end was 0 to 9 then no problem also. I've also tried and originally had it set up where there wasn't an If File.Exists(StringForTextFile) = True Then statement. It just always used the same code whether writing or overwriting and I wasn't having a problem that I remember. For some reason I started having a problem recently and I put the alternate methods of writing in.
how to get a program to read a text file randomly.
I want to be able read text into a variable without running into the end of file.
How can I make txt files and read them in VB2008? The text file does not just consist of one single line. But probably more than a single line.
How do I read the txt file and put each line in one variable.
For example, the txt file:And read it, putting each name in an array variable.
-Add /nosplash to shortcut by right click short cut, click properties and in target, put a space and add it.
-Disable F1. (Environment->Keyboard)
-Disable "Animate environment tools" (Environment->General).
-Disable Start Page (Environment->Startup).

Say you press and hold down a letter on your keyboard. The first letter gets added, there is a delay and then it repeats quickly on screen. Is it possible to skip this delay and go straight to the repeating part? I realize this might not be a visual basic question as much as a windows question, but if there is some way of toggleing it through my program, or using a workaround, i would like to hear the alternatives ^^ Setting the windows setting to fastest still has a small delay and others users would still experience it on other computers.

View 14 RepliesI have two text files. The first text file has the format:
ID h1 h2 h3
a 1 5 7
b 3 3 5
c 0 4 8
And the second file:
ID h4 h5 h6
a 2 4 9
b 3 6 1
b 4 1 5
Now I want to merge two files. The output likes
ID h1 h2 h3 h4 h5 h6
a 1 5 7 2 4 9
b 3 3 5 3 6 1
b 4 1 5
c 0 4 8
The two files has the same rows and columns. For the first rows(except header) in the two files, they have the same first column. Therefore just a simple append. The final first row becomes
a 1 5 7 2 4 9
The question is in the first only has one
b
and the second file has two
I want the maximum count of items from each list in the resultant list. I put some white spaces after "b" then append strings.
b 4 1 5
For key "c", because it is only in the first file and not in the second file, so I append white spaces after the corresponding strings.
I am currently writing a program in VB 2008. Here is what the program is intended to do: I need it to have two forms of input, so I want it to open existing text files and create new ones. Once the user has selected what input to be taken (either a file is opened or a new one is made, guessing multiple forms need to be used here) the user will then take the text file either created or opened and then be able to click a button which will sort all the text in the text file into alphabetical order and then display the results to the screen. While this happens, I need the words in the file to be counted by a counter (so a loop i guess) that then displays on which line each word appears on. I then need this information to be displayed in a text box on screen.

View 10 Repliesi've been busy with a program and it has worked out quite well. The only thing I still want is that it is possible to customize things and save that in a text file. Normally if i want an other background for one day, i need to change it in VB or make a checkbox to do that. if i then restart the program all the settings are lost and i have to set it again. so i was wondering if the program can make a text file and put codes like 1 for theme 1 and 2 for theme 2 etc. in it, then save it and load that file when it starts up again. and is this also possible for a login form? if yes, i can also add a "Create Account" button for my program instead of adding codes in VB.
View 6 Repliesi am trying to complete a project. My task is to read large TXT files (300 files, 2.2 GB in total) read the customers inside, perform some data calculation and write each customer data to a separate txt file.
I made a code in VB6, it runs fine, however it takes 8 days to run on a quadcore processor, utilizing 20-30% of the CPU. Now I upgraded the code and am running on VB.NET 2008, the latest version. The speed still remains the same, and the CPU usage is also about the same.
Anyway I can make this process faster. I have a quadcore PC with 8GB of ram, possible to maybe make VB utilize all the CPU say 100%? so it executes atleast 2 to 3 times faster.
