VS 2010 - How To Remove All Blank Lines In TextFile

Jun 21, 2012

I use the following coding to replace a word in my textfile, would it be possible to add any coding that will remove all blank lines from the same text file?
Dim EditMyFile As String = IO.Path.Combine("D:Test.txt")
Dim inputFile = Regex.Replace(IO.File.ReadAllText(EditMyFile), "test", "test2")
IO.File.WriteAllText(EditMyFile, inputFile)

I have tried the following but it doesnt work.
Dim EditMyFile As String = IO.Path.Combine("D:Test.txt")
Dim inputFile = Regex.Replace(IO.File.ReadAllText(EditMyFile), "test", "test2")
IO.File.WriteAllText(EditMyFile, inputFile)
Dim sText As String = File.ReadAllText("D:Test.txt")
Dim sNewLines() As String = sText.Split(New Char() {ControlChars.Lf}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
File.WriteAllLines("D:Test.txt", sNewLines)

VS 2010 Remove Lines From Textfile?

Jun 19, 2012

I have two text files and each text file has various columns (each column is separated by a tab " "), now some of the fields in column1 text file2 match the fields in column1 text file1. What I'm trying to achieve is to remove every row in text file 1 where the field in column1 matches the field in column 1 textfile 2 - is this possible?I have used some basic coding in the past to remove certain lines, but nothing as complex as this.

Dim linesList As New List(Of String)(File.ReadAllLines("Path"))
linesList.RemoveAt(1)
File.WriteAllLines("Path", linesList.ToArray())

VS 2008 Remove Blank Lines From Text File?

Oct 1, 2009

I have a text file that I'm reading into a listbox. I want to skip a line if it's blank. The following code works if I leave out the check for the line being blank. It puts the file in the listbox with no errors. However, when I include the If statement that checks for the line being blank, I get an ArgumentNullException in the Items.Add line when It gets to the end of the file.

Copying Lines From Tab Delimited TextFile?

Apr 26, 2009

I have a tab delimited text file as so :
name loan period loan amount
John 5 years 6000
Sarah 5 years 6000
Jane 1 month 100

I'm looking to copy the lines where "loan period" = "5 years" to where "loan period" = "1 month", in order to show the comparison. The new lines would be appended at the end of the resulting file. The ultimate end result I hope to achieve is this :
name loan period loan amount
John 5 years 6000
Sarah 5 years 6000
Jane 1 month 100
John 1 month 100
Sarah 1 month 100

I've been toying about this with Visual Basic .Net, and so far, this is what I've come up with
Dim strData As String
Dim i As Short
Dim strLine() As String
lngSize = 0
FileOpen(1, txtloanlistinput.Text, OpenMode.Input)

Remove Line From Textfile?

Mar 11, 2010

I am having trouble removing a line from a text file. When I click on the button in order to remove the line it gives me an error that access to the file is not possible. Now I assume that the file is in use during me wanting to change it and therefore cant save it while it is loaded in ht application. I have tried a few things but cant seem to get it to work.Essentially what it does is that I have another dialog that a used can add data, the data is then written to the file FilingLocations.txt and then it saves it and loads it again. But once the line is no longer needed I would like to have the option to remove the line agaise.

Here is the code:
Private Sub cmdRemoveLocation_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdRemoveLocation.Click
