I have spent the last 20 plus hours trying to parse a incredibly small XML file with Xpath. I understand that it is a ready only, extremely fast way to pull values out of an xml file. Here is the string I am working with. I have a 3rd party function that returns results, based on these xml results i would like to retrieve certain vaules.

I'm messing around with regular expressions and I can't seem to figure out how to parse this file.It's basically a lua file containing a table like:
TableName = {
["QuotedString"] = {
["QuotedString"] = {
[code]....
Some things with the file are standard, like the "TableName" (Never in quotes) starts the table. Variables always have [" "] around them and then equal something like ["Test"] = 0. However, the variable could have multiple variables within it. split up the file within each {} and then try to parse each ["QuotedString-Key"] = 0?

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
'Dim Reader As New StreamReader(Application.StartupPath + "/pbucon.log")

Dim Line As String = Reader.ReadLine()

I am trying to parse a log file and only display new entries containing the word "say". I have this set on a button click event, but I prefer a timer or something, but the textbox flashes everytime the timer ticks so I am using a button right now..
I am parsing many files after I click the button.I want to display the process name when I parse a file. So I am going to display it as
Label3.Text = "Parsing File " + FileName
The problem is the screen is freeze if too many files will be parsed. So designing an event to display the file name that is processed is a good idea. But I haven't any experence on it.
Private Sub ExtractButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ExtractButton.Click

There are multiple occurances of the PLUS_BORROWER data. For each occurence of PLUS_BORROWER, I want to save the CREDIT_SCORE and DAYTIME_PHONE_NBR when the Type= And SOCIAL_SECURITY_NBR are certain values. Then I want to execute a loop and extract the Credit_Score and Daytime_Phone_Nbrs.
<PLUS_BORROWER Type="Primary"> <SOCIAL_SECURITY_NBR>123459999</SOCIAL_SECURITY_NBR> <CREDIT_SCORE ModelName="Emperica">793</CREDIT_SCORE> <DAYTIME_PHONE_NBR>4077889999</DAYTIME_PHONE_NBR> <DAYTIME_PHONE_EXT>101</DAYTIME_PHONE_EXT></PLUS_BORROWER>
I have the following code that will pull off the first PLUS_BORROWER if the Type='Primary', but I am having trouble expanding it.
oExtraData.Load(myXMLFile) 'only select nod with type attribute equal primary Dim oNode As Xml.XmlNode = oExtraData.SelectSingleNode("//PLUS_BORROWER[@Type='Primary']") 'get credit score node Dim scoreNode As Xml.XmlNode = oNode.SelectSingleNode("CREDIT_SCORE") MsgBox("I have the Primary") MsgBox("Credit score is " & scoreNode.InnerText)

I am trying to parse a very large text file for certain strings. The text file is part of a level-making software for an old game I play. The text file basically contains all the information the level designer software needs, but the only important bit is the 'texture information'. Basically what I'm trying to create is a little program that parses the text files and shows the user a list of every texture in that text file. The problem is, the strings denoting textures are not really easy to find, and I can't think of any sensible and fast way to get them...

I'm currently attempting to make on ORPG using Visual Basic 2008. It's a big project, I know. I've currently made a working map editor and the basics of a game client(movement with physics, etc.). Unfortunately, when the form's size is larger(in the actual game client), the form becomes REALLY slow. The larger the form is, the slower it runs. The smaller it is, the faster it runs... And I also have horrible lag in my map editor. So horrible it's impossible to be productive. It has nothing to do with the form's size this time.

Below is a link to a small zip file with an existing VB (2005 I think) program. [URL] This programs detects if the OS is Locked. I want to make a small edit, and have found the required code for the edit, but I have been unsuccessful at attempting to implement the code. As I said this program only detects windows locks and unlocks. What I want to do, is set it to run an exe when I lock my computer. Doesn't matter what the exe is, just a very basic program.
I however have not been able to find where I need to insert this code. The zip file contains about 6-8 files, I thought I found the if statement where I needed to drop the code but even when I added it to every if that seemed probably I couldn't get any result. what if statement the code I need to add should go into. honestly all I need, I can handle the code past finding that.
Is it possible to use VB code to code an application that can merge Hex data from a small (50kb) .dat file with the hex data from another small (50kb) file? This would require designating specific offsets, which I can pre-program, but If I could have user input this would be preferred.
Example.
Hex_1.dat
00 00 00 00 00 11 11 11 11 11 (Offset = 5)
Hex_2.dat
22 22 22 22 22 33 33 33 33 33 (To offset = 5)
Result file
Result.dat
11 11 11 11 11 22 22 22 22 22
i have a small program to get text from a DAT file. the program gets all the text and puts it into a rich text box (rtb1) then I click a button (btnformat) to split the text in the dat file into indexes so that I can output the indexes that I want to an excel file. This program works when I use small amounts of data but if I use say 800 lines of text the program crashes/ can't handle the volume of data and just stalls.
View 14 RepliesI have a large wikipedia dump that I want to cut into different files (1 file for each article). I wrote a VB App to do it for me, but it was quite slow and crapped out after a few hours of cutting. Im currently splitting the file into smaller 50mb chunks using another app but thats taking a long time (20-30 minutes for each chunk). I should be able to cut each of these up individually if I do this.
Does anyone have any suggestions of a way to cut this file up quicker?
I just want to parse simple expressions like IIF(FVAL(PFC) = TRUE, (IIF((ORGVAL(BAS, "2012/12/31") + ORGVAL(DA)) < 6500, (FVAL(BAS) + FVAL(DA)) * 12%, 780)), 0)`After parsing this I should be able to know what functions contains what parameters.

I'm stuck with .Net Framework 2.0, so no Linq or lambda expression goodies for me. Also I want to include the code in my custom library and not just reference it. Can anyone point me to some good library or code.
I just need to parse and not evaluate the expression and find what tokens are in use. After finding the tokens I need to change the expression string before parsing, like if the function ORGVAL is used then the parameter passed has has to be prefixed by an underscore. Like ORGVAL(BAS) will transform to ORGVAL(_BAS). Some functions can have tow parameters like ORGVAL(BAS, "2012/12/31") and this will transform to ORGVAL(_BAS, "2012/12/31")
NOTE: IF THERE ARE OTHER WAYS OF DOING IT PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I WOULD LOVE TO AVOID A PARSER AND LEXER.

I have an app that the user selects information and it writes to an XML file. The user can increase and decrease the information in the XML file so it is dynamic. The other app reads the xml file and uses it to complete tasks. Since the XML is dynamic my code needs to account for that. Right now I have only allowed the XML to have up to four values in a certain node, I would like to allow more but I will need to increase the Select Case function.[code]
