VS 2010 Create Wordpad File And Streamwriter

Jun 4, 2011

I have a subroutine that needs to accomplish the following things:

1. Open wordpad (wordpad.exe) - so the user can see the file being written to for printing purposes.

2. Create wordpad file (Sample.wri)

3. Write various text to Sample.wri (in the wordpad window that opened) using Streamwriter. Again, this is for printing purposes.

The code below is the start of the subroutine. As it is written, Wordpad does start, and Sample.wri is created. But the streamwriter DOES NOT write the "does this work?" text to the file created, nor does it display in the window that opened when wordpad process started. I'm new to using streamwriter so I'm sure I've overlooked something simple. The start of my subroutine is below:

VS 2010 VB Dynamic Streamwriter Name From A File

Nov 4, 2011

building another command-line app and I need to generate a log file and write to it throughout the app's run, but the log needs to be named <work_order>_<device>.log - both of those are held in a text file and will change frequently.

I can extract them no problem, and use them in the log file, but can't get the log file to use them in the name.

so I have:

Using strDATA As New StreamReader(DATA_FILE)
Do While Not strDATA.EndOfStream
Dim eng As String() = Split(strDATA.ReadLine, "=")

[Code]....

PATH and WORK_ORDER are declared as Public earlier on as are PATH, LOG, TMP and CSV, this sub is also Public. I also need to use the log writer in other subs as well as WORK_ORDER and DEVICE.

Streamwriter And Strange Charactors - Opening The Streamwriter With Different Character Sets As The Third Parm?

Apr 21, 2010

I am taking in two html files and creating one out of them. To do this I am opening the first html file and not writing out the closing </body> and </html> tag and opening the second file and not writing out the corresponding opening tags, as well as the <style></style>section. I start a streamwriter, and write the lines out to it, and then close the streamwriter. My problem is that the output file is filled with strange characters. I've tried opening the streamwriter with different character sets as the third parm, but all this does is change the characters to different strange characters.It says charset=windows-1252 at the tops of the input files (and the output files for that matter - since I'm just reading stuff in and writing it out - with the exceptions mentioned above).Questions;First, do you think I am properly approaching appending two .htm files together?Second, how can I eliminate these strange characters.

VS 2010 StreamReader And StreamWriter?

Nov 10, 2010

I am using streamreader and streamwriter to read a text file , change the text, then write to the same text file. This all happens in a loop every second or so.Currently I use:

Dim csetpointfileread As New System.IO.StreamReader("C:webcsetpoint.txt")and Dim csetpointfile As New System.IO.StreamWriter("c:webcsetpoint.txt", False)before every file read / write operation, it gets dimensioned every loop. To me this seems like a waste, and should only have to be dimentioned once. If I try to run both statements in the beginning, outside of the loop, the second statement wont work because the "file is allready open". Am I missing something or am I doing it correctly to begin with?

VS 2010 Streamwriter Rounds Numbers?

They are rounded with enough accuracy that it doesn't really matter to the app, but I'd like to know why this is happening. My line of code that writes the line is.

Dim fs As New FileStream("C:est.txt", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.ReadWrite)Dim b As New StreamWriter(fs)

b.WriteLine("hellothere") : b.Close()

b.close is necessary to save changes to the file, but then, fs will be closed, too. is there any method that does the same thing but doesn't close fs, like "b.save"???

I am using the following code to write and empty (dummy) file to take up the remaining space on a device.RemSpace is a Public Variable declared as Long I have a function that gets the remaining space on the device and stores in the RemSpace variable (in bytes).

Variables In A File Path Using IO.StreamWriter

Mar 13, 2010

I have searched the web for an answer to this but can not find one anywhere. I have a program that will be sending text to different text files based on a selection in some combo boxes, I was wondering if it is possible to select the file path based on the combo box variables eg

if the user selects hello and then 4 in the combo boxes then the text will be saved to

w = New IO.StreamWriter("c:projecthello4.txt")

or if they select hi and 5

w = New IO.StreamWriter("c:projecthi5.txt")

i have tried setting 2 variables called a and b and trying to run the following

w = New IO.StreamWriter("c:project{a}{b}.txt") but this does not work

New Streamwriter - How To Pass Full File Path

Mar 5, 2012

I have 2 programs.
Prog1.exe is in folder1
Prog2.exe is in folder1/subfolder

When I execute this in Prog1,
Process.Start("subfolder/Prog2.exe")
Prog2 runs.

But...When I execute this in Prog2,
Dim sw as new streamwriter("1.txt")
sw.write("something")
sw.close

1.txt is created in folder1, and not subfolder.
I can do a easy workaround by passing the full file path when creating the streamwriter, but I just want to know if it's a bug or what.

StreamWriter Class - Writing Info Into Log File

Oct 26, 2010

I have an issue with StreamWriter class. Basically, in an application running as a web service, I need to write info into a log file. When I send 2 web service calls simultaneously, the entries created in the log file are not correctly written. For example,
in call #1, ID 1 - xyz is to be written to the log file. In call #2, ID 2 - abc is to be written. When I viewed the log, it shows ID 1 - xyz & ID 1- abc. Looks like there's some memory data being shared and mixed together, even though it's totally 2 separate web service calls. From my understanding, each call (i.e. each will be process under a different application instance) should have its own set of memory allocation for data processing... If I am to make this application as a Console Application, it looks like everything is processed correctly.

Using StreamWriter To Attach Window Meta File?

Mar 27, 2012

i have a windows form created using vb.net 2005 that allows users to attach files. When the user clicks the AttachFile button, they browse to select a file they want to attach and then the code places the file they selected into a predetermined location. The primary file type they will be attaching is a windows meta file (.wmf).

The attached file is saved and appears as a hyperlink for the user to open at a later time. When the user clicks to open the file, it is suppose to insert it into Autocad; however, it wasn't doing this.

The problem comes from attaching the file using the StreamWriter for some reason its not working correctly. I verified that this is the issue: When i hardcoded the file path to the original file's location, it opens up just fine when clicking the hyperlink. When I compare file size from the original to the one attached, I see that the original is 12Kb and the one I attached is 19Kb.

Here's my code to attach the file: I'm thinking perhaps it has something to do with this line? sReadFile = sr.ReadToEnd() but I'm just not sure. I tried changing this line to sr.Read but that doesn't work either.

VS 2005 - StreamWriter Holding File Open?

Oct 2, 2009

I'm looping through a csv file. For each line, I'm reading certain values, generating a filename, and writing the record to that file. Here is some logic

If <something that doesn't matter happens> Thendo somethingElseIf File.Exists(strOutFile & (strOutputFileName & "__" & strPrefixFileName & ".txt")) Then
strFullFileName = strOutputFileName & "__" & strPrefixFileName & ".txt" '** Double Underscores after app name
tsOutfile = New StreamWriter(strOutFile & strFullFileName)
[Code] .....

Now, obviously with the above code, there's no reason for the elseif, since they both do the same thing. The problem, however, is if I need to create a new file and write to it, everything works fine. In fact, everything will work perfectly until I need to write to a file that I already created. If I go ahead and just try "tsOutfile = New StreamWriter(strOutFile & strFullFileName)" and point it to the already existing file, I get a permission error (says the file is already open). Is streamwriter keeping an open connection to all of these files that I create? Nothing else in the program is touching these files, only streamwriter.

Here's a quick example to illustrate what is happening
Record 1 goes to file A
Record 2 goes to file A
Record 3 goes to file A
Record 4 goes to file B
Record 5 goes to file B
Record 6 goes to file B
Record 7 goes to file C
Record 8 goes to file A (Error will occur here)

VS 2005 Determine File Location Of Streamwriter?

May 14, 2009

I need to process a text file created by a Streamwriter. I have the Streamwriter object but the file location is determined by the user. The problem is, I need to process *the file* not the contents-so I need the location.

Steamwriter doesn't seem to have a Location or File property. Or am I just missing it? How can I tell what file a Streamwriter object is writing to?
