how I would be able to make the click of a button scan a certain directory for certain files like .txt files, and display those files in a text box, or if not a text box some other viewer.
View 7 RepliesI'm trying to create a program that will manage and organize my music (mp3) files. So I used a ListView (SongList) to show the files that are in my music directory. Then I'm using a class found online to get the Title, Artist, and Album. Then it will insert it into the ListView and assign it a tag with the same value. But then when you hit the button to start the organizing the real problems start.
What it is suppose to do is check if the chosen directory exists then if it does it will create a folder for the artist of the song it is processing then a folder for the album then copy and rename (title) the song into that folder, then move onto the next song. But when it tries to create the directory it says there are invalid characters but there aren't. Also for some reason it wont put the Album name into the string for the directory???
Heres the function used to do just about everything:
Code:
Function CopySong(ByVal SongPath As String, ByVal SongName As String, ByVal SongArtist As String, ByVal SongAlbum As String)
If System.IO.File.Exists(SongPath) = True Then
Dim RootDir As String = "C:UsersCalebDesktopMusic"

my knowledge of VB.net is limited and i'm really trying hard to figure this problem out...
what i did was create a list box and populate it with a directory ("C:Documents and Settingsuserfolder1")...
once the listbox displays the files from the directory, i want to select a certain file and that file will be opened up in a rich text box.What i found to display the directory in a listbox is:
Dim directory As New IO.DirectoryInfo("C:Documents and SettingsjtanDesktopRECV")
Dim diar1 As IO.FileInfo() = directory.GetFiles()
Dim dra As IO.FileInfo
Dim files As String

I am trying to access my website and display the .mp3 files in a certain directory. Through this, i want to have windows media player play the selected file. Either through list box, or combo box. I have tried many different ways. How in the world am i supposed to do this? I do not just want to set the windows media player url to a certain file, like i said, i am trying to get to select the file (in some sort of dialog box) and play that.
View 4 RepliesI am new to VB.Net, but I can tell you so far I love programming. That said, I'm building a tool basically to parse and display simple plain text log files. I'm hitting one stumbling block that really has me frustrated.
Other tools are able to load huge log files (500MB even) in a number of seconds. My tool, basically hangs loading a file that is maybe 5MB.
I'm using the MyString = StreamReader.ReadToEnd to read the contents into a string, and then RichTextBox1.Text = MyString to display the contents. That said, I really want to display the contents in a datagrid, but there has to be a better way of doing this?
How can I get my application to load larger files and display them faster? What am I doing wrong?
I'm using a dialog box to select multiple files and move them to the directory "C:/Playlist". I guess you can say I'm having trouble with 2 things.

View 4 RepliesThis is a new question based on the response from an older post. I needed to save a value when my app is run for the first time that would be applicable to all users who logon to the PC and use my application. The setting is only known at the time of the install so Application settings with application or user scope are unsuitable. I was advised to save the setting to an external file and save/read it as needed. The obvious choice was to save the file to the projects application path (keeping things tidy). Everything worked fine during testing but when the application is installed on a PC, the application path becomes C:program files application nameetc. When I try to execute the code that saves the file, I get a permissions denied error. I understand that it's part of the UAC control but when did it become acceptable to stop developers programmatically creating files in their own application folder?

I currently have a bunch of text files I need to edit in a folder, I need to edit each file and remove the same line but not all files have this line, so I need to create a script that needs to check if the line exists then remove it.I have 1000s of files, that's why I need help to be able to create a script that does it for me instead of me editing each one manually.I am not sure on how to do this, but I am sure it is not difficult for people that have good experience with VB.net.
View 8 RepliesI am building a vb.net application with VS2010. The aim of the application is to change sln. files from VS2005/2008 versions into VS2010.I am using a Form with 2 text boxes and 2 buttons.

I have a function that is giving me fits.This is designed to identify all files in a given directory (myPath), and then cycle through those files. Each file in the directory is a well-formed XML file full of name/value pairs. Here is an example of what they contain:

I'm making a Cleaner for my PC that could delete all files with a specific name.So I have all the names in a .txt file, like:

Now I need somekind of function that would search in a directory ( The user gives the dir. in a textbox ), and its important that it would also search in all sub folders and see if there is a match to any of the names in the .txt file. And it shall not care about in what format the file is. It can be in .exe , .txt or any format.
