VS 2008 Search In Multiple Txtfiles Within A Folder?
May 15, 2009
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. The folder with the txtfiles to be searched should be chooseable via a FolderBrowserDialog.I started with a button which contains the FolderBrowserDialog, after I chose a file it shows the path in a textbox and its containing files in a richtextbox:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnLoadFile.Click
fbDialog.SelectedPath = "C:"
fbDialog.ShowNewFolderButton = True
[code]....
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 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 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
[Code]....
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'm not sure how to use it, And for some reason I couldn't find it on MSDN, Unless I looked it up wrong, But I am making an MP3 Player, And I'd like to choose a folder that carries multiple MP3 files, And by clicking on it, It will bring the MP3 files into the windows media player component I am using and add the file names into a listbox.

changing the way the site search is done from just search a phrase as one string to searching a phrase "as multiple words" search. For example, if I search "cute puppy" right now, it will search it for "cute puppy" as phrase and won't match just "cute" and "puppy". The way the search is implemented is by passing a search phrase to a Stored Procedure in SQL Server.So now, I need to change to site search so when "cute puppy" is searched, it will search two words.... "cute" and "puppy" instead of just "cute puppy". Below is how the store procedure is implemented
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO

Im making a search function for an application and they need to be able to search by any value in the DB in any of the three tables. Im wondering the best wayto about this. 2 of the 3 tables have the same columns while the last one is totally different. Below is what I kinda "thought" itd look like but no.
"SELECT * FROM cases, opencases, staff WHERE Crime ='" & txtsearch.Text.ToString & "'"
I need to query the results the user can search for anyterm and if it matches something in the columns it return it to the user. Im wondering if the best way to go about this is to maybe query all the tables and then put all the matching records in a seperate table and the dgv look at that table or how to exactly go about it.

I can't find how to search for a folder (directory) that contains a string and copy all the folders (directory) that contain that string to another directory. So you search for the name of the directory, not the files in the directory.For example: 'KTNPRK' in E: gives:E:KTNPRK1, E:AZNKTNPR76, etc...

I can figure out how to do this, but Im not sure what I should be looking for. I have a database that gets updated about once a month, and when it does, it changes the name of the database file to match the date and time the new database was created.
The file name always starts with DB and the rest of the file name structure is DBYYYYMMDDHHMMSS (After the seconds, the file name is the same for all of the databases)
There are a few things I am trying to do.
1.I want to be able to search the update folder for whatever database is there
2.Trim the file name to return the database name as DBYYYYMMDD
3.Search the local database folder for the specific file name and return it in the same format as the update
4.Compare the two file names and choose which decide if one is newer than the other based on the date
What I need to know is what this would be called and what I would need to use to accomplish this.

I am trying to make a program where I browse for a folder and that Browse dialog displays user selection into a Text Box that part I have completed, when that user selects the folder it will recursively search all folders and subfolders in the directory the user has chosen and display that list in a ListBox here is the code I have so far. Also to note I have found a function for recursively search a folder but I have no idea how to implement it to display in the ListBox from the User selected directory.
This code is the code that lets the user select the folder and display it in the textbox
Private Sub SourceButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SourceButton.Click
With SourceBrowse
[Code].....
On a side note I also want the list to display all the files in the folder as well.

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?

Every table I have has an 'UpdatedBy' field which lists the user who last made an update to the record. I need a way of searching every datatable for that username and returning the count of the rows where the LastUpdated field is equal to a parameterized username. How can this be accomplished without writing a seperate query for each datatable that does the same thing and running each query one at a time? I'm not sure if this can accomplished somehow in the dataset itself or if a SQL Function could do this.

I am doing a simple database project.I need to give the input in the database which is an access db from my input form and i have managed to do this part right.then i need to retrieve the details from the db using multiple search fields and show them in the datagrid view.I have 8 search fields(5 textboxes and 3 combo boxes). I also have included 4 other buttons which respectively clears the search boxes;clear the results of the gridview; show all results from the database;go to the input form and offcourse 1 search button.now all the buttons working fine except the search button. actually when i click on the search button if i include sql query for all the search fields only the first one works and also if i have clicked any other buttons before clicking the search button nothing happens, no result is shown and it happens the same if i search once and clicked any other buttons and come back to search, no result. I need to show the results in the gridview depending on the user input on those search criterias. user should be able to search in any combinations.I am using the below codings in my search form. the combo boxes are not bound.datagrid is bound to database though.
Public Class Paxsearchfrm
Private Sub Paxsearchfrm_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
