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)
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())
remove blank lines from listbox?And remove specified text from listbox (text line that i can specify in form code(But if i specify to remove line something like [URL] it will remove the line [URL] but doesn't remove line [URL].
My code for adding items to listbox is:
Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click Dim PageElements As HtmlElementCollection = WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("img") For Each CurElement As HtmlElement In PageElements
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.
'Read Multiline File Dim FILE_NAME As String = "C: empliz-etsy.txt" ' If System.IO.File.Exists(FILE_NAME) = True Then
I am trying to create a textfile and write some lines into the textfile. However, the code that i am using can only write when the textfile is already created in the directory.
For this case, can i actually allow my script to search if a textfile is being created, if not create a textfile ???
Dim pathdir As String = "C:workingdir est.txt" If System.IO.File.Exists(pathdir) = True Then Dim objWriter As New StreamWriter(pathdir)
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) [Code] .....
I have a txt document here that have certain word on it per line. How can I show it in different labels. I have 25 labels and have label name as followsword1,word2,word3,word4,word5 and so on up to word25. I want the word 1 label will show the first line of the text file and the second word2(label name) will show the second line of the textfile and so on up to the 25th line . Can it be done using loop?I tried but I dont know exactly how readline process works to identify certain lines you want to read and also I tried using the "i" variable to auto generate the name of my label but it did not work.
Dim timepath As String = "C:ACCOUNTSAccount" + user1 + " ime.text" Dim times As String Dim timeread As New System.IO.StreamReader(timepath)
i have coded as below but once the record deleted and when the application write to text file again it gives an error says index was outside the bounds of the array any solution?
Dim stream As New IO.StreamWriter("C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorDesktopBill PaymentBillPaymentRecords.txt", False) stream.WriteLine("") stream.Close()
I have a textfile I need to open and I need to put each line into the array. What is the simplest way to add the elements/each line's data into the array while increasing the array as it reads each line? This is blowing my mind right now..I thought about using a counter and then redim-ing the array (while preserving of course).
I want to create a set amount of threads, and have those threads open the same file, and then each thread will go read a different line all the way down to the end of the file. Also I do not want to use thread pool, so I have to create the threads. I have the code to create threads, but I need help on the file part:
I'm writing a program that retrieves certain lines from a textfile. This textfile is rather large, so is it possible to have a progressbar that shows the progress when it retrieves?
Try Dim s As New IO.StreamReader("C: est.txt") For i As Integer = 1 To 4 s.ReadLine()
[code]....
this only reads one line and proceeds with command.. how can i fix this to be able to read multiple lines, like read line 7, do command, read line 9, do command, etc..so much work to do and so many choices to choose from...
I'm currently use visual basic 2008. The problem is I have try this code but,it produce no output. There is no problem with the code I guess. Here is my code
Dim i As Integer = 0 Dim line As String 'Dim reader As StreamReader = New StreamReader("C:\drill.txt")
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
What I want to happen is that the button from my system will remove the previous data from database and then insert new data to database from text file. Im done with inserting new data. The thing is that I dont how to control or where to put the Delete Command from my code.
I think we can just draw an image that resemble the grid using this article : drawing in a datagridview Currently creating a way to make the image drawn in tile mode. Each time I develop a datacentric application using VB.NET regardless of how much the data displayed in the datagrid, I always want the grid to display full row of empty data, not just blank panel. Can we achieve this using VB.NET design time property? And also, we must not trigger the display of vertical scrollbar this way..
I have a function that is reading a sequential file and storing it into an array by using the delimiters of
The first record appears correctly however, the second element in the array has two null lines at the beginning and at the end of the record. [code]...
I followed the last post about dgvs and have been trying to get my dgvs to have alternate colored lines on form load. In both apps I am working on I am using dgvs to display certain things. I do not like the look of a blank dgv on a form. When I tried to add blank colored lines to my dgv, it did work, but when I loaded the dgv with a dataset, it pushed my columns to the right and I had to add scroll bars to see my data.
I have a arraylist with plenty of lines. The array is populated from documents that have all kind of stuff in them, I got no control over what they contain. There's blank lines and double linebreaks so when I want everything in a textbox I clean it using this
I have my code it is able to read a text file and do checks each line if there are 7W and 5L in that particular line, if no matches it will remove that line... 1 problem i face now is that, there are duplicates in my textfile..Im not sure how am i going to remove the duplicate in the text file. I want to know if there is a way to integrate an additional function inside my code to check if that particular line is a duplicate so i can accomplish 2 tasks at 1 time... Since there are about close to 1million records in my text file.
