Nov 19, 2008I'm new to Visual Basic. I'm trying to get this code to read a .txt file line by line. If the only thing that the line says is "B" it should add one to the intTotalBoys integer and so on with G for Girls, F for Fathers, and M for Mothers. I'm not sure why it won't work. [code]

Oct 19, 2011I need to read in each line of a file that is comma delimited and I know how to do this.ut for this file, some of the values have quotes around them that contain commas and others do not. For example, the name field has "Doe, John and Lisa" and the other fields do not. How will this be handled? Will it read that whole field in as one or will it still seperate it as seperate fields?

VS 2008 : Reading A Structure From A File?
Apr 12, 2010I have several quesions about reading/writing structures from/to files.In a scenario when I open a data file having its own header and variable data fields I create a structure that represents a header consisting of 9 bytes:
Public Structure HeaderInfo
Public DataField1 As Integer
Public DataField2 As Byte
Public DateField3 As Integer
End Structure
I'm using this code for the time being:
vb.net
Public Function ReadHeader(ByVal FileName As String) As HeaderInfo Dim ReturnInfo As HeaderInfo Try Using br As New IO.BinaryReader(New IO.FileStream(FileName, IO.FileMode.Open, IO.FileAccess.Read, IO.FileShare.Read)) With ReturnInfo
[code]....
The first question is - can I fill the structure directly somehow? Some structures are very long and filling them this way will be tedious. For example, if I know the length of the structure I could read the needed number of bytes in a byte array and somehow marshal these bytes into the structure.I can use Marshal.PtrToStructure, but then I would need to get an IntPtr of my byte array. I use <Serializable()> attribute for my structure.

VS 2008 Read File Not Reading Fully?
Nov 6, 2010I have several files that I am reading in and 'scrubbing'. The scrubbing is simply taking certain HTML tags and changing them - no big deal.When I read in the files (one at a time), they read and then I scrub them.The files stop reading mid-way *no matter what* the encoding type There is no stop character or anything, it is simple HTML and I do not see any reason why the file isn't being read I have attached one of files that is having a problem and the code is quite simple:
Dim oRead As New System.IO.StreamReader(Dir & "" & FN, Encoding.ASCII)
EntireFile = oRead.ReadToEnd()

VS 2008 Reading A Custom File Format?
Oct 20, 2009The file format has already been explained to me, and I can easily view it in notepad to understand it. It's basically a text file with a fancy extension and what not. The only problem is that I need to read it and pull a certain span of data from it.Here's the basic format:
8200
3251
1
[code].....
This is the first 10 lines, which is useless data for me. However, right after the first 10 lines, is a span of an unknown quantity of lines that I do need that are formatted like so:grassC:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesHalo Custom itiondatalevelsestlood_creekitmapslood_creek groundThe first line is the name of a bitmap assigned to the ID, while the second line is the path to the bitmap.Finally, after the unknown span of lines, there are two lines that go in this order:01Which I can safely assume at this point that the list no longer needs to be read.What I need to do is be able to open this file, skip over the first 10 lines which are completely useless, and then pull out the unknown gap of lines, and then stop reading when the line is '0', or at the end of the list.
VS 2008 Reading And Editing Text File?
Jul 23, 2010I have a text file called: list.txt This is a list with all kind of lines like this:
14II_ARM_S_CLO_CLO_CLOVERIDS_PROPITEM_TXT_01194611IK1_ARMORIK2_CLOTHIK3_CLOAK=TRUE==200050000====PARTS_CLOAK=1==11=1===11_NONE Ofcourse every line has different numbers and letters.
The complicated bit is this:
I want to let Button1 check whats in TextBox1.Text and search "list.txt" for it. When it has got a match (there is only ONE of these numbers in list.txt).For example TextBox1.Text = "IDS_PROPITEM_TXT_011946". And I search for that so I find the line above. Now I want 3 other textboxes which show the 21st, 22nd, 23rd column/number after "IDS_PROPITEM_TXT_011946". And they should be editable by changing those 3 textboxes and clicking the apply button.How can I best do this, and please give a little example.
VS 2008 Reading BigEndian Data From A File?
Jul 28, 2009Is there a way to set BitConverter to produce Int32 values from BigEndian-encoded bytes?I feel like there might be a way to temporarily "set" the encoding to BigEndian before calling BitConverter, but I haven't figured it out.Right now I'm just reversing the 4 bytes before calling BitConverter, I guess I could create my own function that adds the bytes with the appropriate multiplier, but it seems a little inelegant if it can be done simply with BitConverter.

[2008] Reading A Very Large Text File
Feb 1, 2009The following code suppose to:
1. Read line-by-line a txt file with more than 500,000 lines, (each line 521 characters long)
2. extract an ID No from the line
3. query from a database for LCCIStatus
4. concatenate the value of LCCIStatus to the line
5. write the line to sample.txt
My problem is, this code works perfectly with the test file of 8000 lines but fail with the actual files which have over 500,000 lines. FYI, the test file contains data which I cut and paste from the actual file.

The text file is setup up with 90 lines of data starting with the first 9 lines containing data and the 10th is a blank space. I need to read line 6, 8, and 9. I need to Loop through the file so I am using the Do While Loop. Where I am confused is when using the For...Next Loop to tell the program to read a specific line. If you have any info that can lead me to the answer that would be great. I would prefer you just point me in the right direction because I would very much like to somewhat figure it out in the process.

VS 2008 Make A Program That Reads A Txt File After Reading It?
Aug 26, 2009I have to make a program that reads a txt file after reading it, show it in a richtext box and in another tab make the average of the grades the input received sort it by the student id and then in the same rtb sort it by the average of their grades, and finally save it on a new text file.
The text file input is something like this
12 3 10.0 6.9 7.3
19 2 6.7 9.3
10 3 4.5 9.3 4.5
[Code]...
As you noticed in the input the first number is the student ID, the second number is the number of tests made by the student, and the other 3 numbers are grades, in the output the first number is the student ID, the second number is the average of the tests, and the other 3 numbers are grades, I don't have a problem opening and saving a text file and neither creating a tab with 2 RTB , my problem is how do I tokenize or read the input line by line, i guess that i need to use the split function but I don't know how to implement it into the program.
