Having difficulty with the module below failing on line 21. It is telling me: The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002) Basically what it is designed to do is look for a directory, if that exists then look for a file in that directory. If both = True then it should open the folder to browse the files. I believe the issue is with the "Program Files" being 2 words since the script runs using a root path, but I'm not sure how to format the path correctly to make it work?

View 1 RepliesI have a folder with several textfiles. The only thing i need from the files is the last 10-15 lines from each file, printed into a new file. There is a sentence that is uniqe inside (but the same for all) at the line i want to start copying from.In other words i need to seach for a spesific word, copy everything from that line to the end of document, and print that to a new doc. Repeated for all files in the current folder.
View 10 RepliesI have an application that has a list of string that needs to be search in a database table field to select rows with the same name and retrive the values of one particular fields that contains the file name with extention for that string. With this new generated text file, I pass the filename with the extension and search the folders that are listed in a txt file. All of this works fine.
Now I need a more simple version of this application, without using the database to get the filename with extension. Instead, read the text file with input strings, search in the folders listed in another text file(to know the location of the folders to search for the string). If any file that matches with the string in the text file, I need to copy those files to another folder.

I'm doing a uni assignment and my application has to go to a specific folder and locate a file for data.The folder has 300+ files in it with a specific format for the naming of the files ie. the program goes to the folder looking for one specific file that has been derived from a different function and user input in the form.The program works fine when the file that it is searching for is there, but I keep getting a FileNotFoundException whenever the file that it's looking for is not there.I don't want the application to throw an exception every time the file doesn't exist because the program needs to return back to the loop to see if the next file is there or not.And so the loop continues until it's found all data and loaded it all into an array.How can I do a check of the folder to search for the file, and if it's not there, go to the next step without throwing an exception?

I have several txtfiles in different folders, now I'm trying to program an application which gathers specific informations in multiple txtfiles within a folder and saves them in a new txtfile.

fbDialog.SelectedPath = "C:"
fbDialog.ShowNewFolderButton = True

sometimes value exists in a block - sometimes not.if "value" exists it should show the whole line starting from "value" and its linenumber and the date of the block in which it found it in a listbox and save all found lines in a new txtfile or directly save in a txtfile without showing them in a listbox.

I am creating a program which searches saved .htm files for the source codes. I get the source code and do manipulation on the code to pull the values I need into a datagridview.
Is there anyway to search a datagridview column to see if a value exists first, so no duplicate rows of data will be added? I was thinking of making access table and linking the datagridview to it, but i'm not sure how to set the database links up with code (other than the gui), and then still search the column so I don't put in duplicate rows.So far, I have only come up with the way to add the data row by row...

I am having trouble trying to accomplish a search for a folder with a wildcard within a directory.
The folder will look sort of like this: [2008][560909][Market Change] or [year][number][name]
Thus far this is what I have:
Function searching()
Dim choice, input
Dim strPatheServices

I am uncertain where to go from this other than add the wild card to the exist so like:
System.IO.Directory.Exists(strPatheServicesinput + "*")
I want to simply find out if a folder exists or not in available drives on the client machine. user will simply pass a string eg:
