VS 2010 Parsing An XML File?
Aug 18, 2010
I'm wanting to have the option in my app to save configuration settings and then be able to import them on another machine or when the application is launched later. So I've got my saving routine working fine, using the XmlWriter class to write various settings to the XML file. I'm not quite sure what I should be using to do the parsing of the XML file to read the settings back in though, as there seems to be a few different ways to do this.Should I be creating an XmlDocument instance from the XML file and then using the ReadNode method or one of the other similar methods? Or should I be using the XmlReader class and one of its methods?is the format of my XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<!-- MY_APP_NAME Saved Settings - Version 0.9.5.0 -->
<SearchSettings>

Just a little problem; seemingly easy but doesn't seem quite so straightforward as it should be. I am pulling an XML file from a server using the web browser control and the using the DOM innertext property to assign the contents of that XML page to a variable.
I would like to be able to efficiently parse through this variable as if it were an XML file. I have posted the output below.I can work out how to load an XML file using the LoadXML method from a disc or URL but I would prefer to parse it from within the variable. I know this should be simple but I was wondering what the best class to use would be as the most efficient / easy way of parsing data.
I am basically looking to extract each of the details for each <application> into an array.

I am reading in a line in this format: AL93895200 How do I get each of the items in the line that are separated by a space. I think it should go something like this:
Dim line As String = fileReader.ReadLine() Dim fields() As String = line.Split(How do I get it to split at the spaces?)
But as you can see, I don't know how to actually get that to work.

parse a file for lines of data that start with this pattern "Feb 06 2010 15:49:00.017 MCO", where MCO could be any 3 letter ID, and return the entire record for the line. I think I could get the first part, but the returning the rest of the line is where I get lost.Here is some sample data.

I need to parse a string that consists of fields in quotes, separated by commas. Using Split would work fine, but sometimes one of the fields has a comma in it. ie. "My Company, Inc","USA","12.50","125000"I'm just looking to get the fields into elements in an array. Can someone suggest a way to handle the embedded commas that are sometimes present?

I am using the xmldocument (loadxml) and xmlPathNavigator to parse xml files I am compiling through a incoming stream. The first point of processing the files is to split the file into the different entries and add those to a list. I do this using either xmlPathNavigator or string.split if either one fails.At times both will fail because of some issue in the xml and would still like to salvage the file contents without having to fix the xml. I tried to use regex parsing but its not producing the content as I would like. I use the following code but in the end I do not get all the contents of the entry, only those between some of the tags.

I am using SendKeys to send out some text using;
Dim pText As String
pText = txtPost.Text
SendKeys.Send(pText)
Whenever I use symbols like ')' it will fail as it cannot parse it. How do you get around this?

I am writing a tool that logs stats for a first person shooter game. The game writes its information (including who killed who with which weapon) to a log file, which I read every so many seconds and parse so that I can write that information to a database.I am now having trouble parsing the weapon out of that string of information.
Some additional information is required: a weapon in this game can contain attachments (such as a scope, a grenade launcher, etc). Weapons can have either 1 or 2 attachments. Some weapons however cannot have any attachments at all.
Each log file entry that describes a kill contains a code that describes the weapon that was used. This code is a concatenation of either 3 or 4 parts:
<weapon>_<attachment>_mp
<weapon>_<attachment1>_<attachment2>_mp
where <weapon> is a code that describes a weapon and <attachment> is another code describing the attachment.This should be easy to parse by just splitting along the underscore characters, but there's a few catches:
1. Some attachments are able to kill players as well. Specifically: grenade launchers, flame throwers and underbarrel shotguns. In this case, the attachment is listed before the weapon:
<attachment>_<weapon>_mp Note also that in this case there is always only 1 attachment.
2. The biggest catch: some weapon names have an underscore in them (some even have 3 underscores)! So simply splitting along the underscore won't work in all cases; if the weapon name contains an underscore I'm splitting the name of the weapon..This makes the list of possible combinations a lot longer. The ones I can think of (I think these are all):

This page here has a table I need to parse.
It has multiple tags like this:
<td style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.pkmdb.com/res/icons/001.png" alt="Pokemon" /></td>
<td style="text-align: center;">001</td> <td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.pkmdb.com/DL/PKM/bulbasaur.pkm">Bulbasaur</a></td> <td style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.pkmdb.com/res/types/grass.png" alt="Type" /></td>Different Number, different name. I need a way to get the number and name out of these tags. I'm rather terrible at this, and I've seen examples on the site, I just don't know where to start really on this.

I have written a function which logs into an FTP server and recursively lists all of the directories within a given folder into an XML string (example below). I basically want to parse this into a listview item in the format as follows "Level1/level2/level3/level4" (standard file path). I have given an example of the xml below. How would I go about achieving this?
I have set up an xmltextreader, and then using a do while xmltextreader.read() I can check the current level of the node and add it that way, but it tends to only work half the time - is this the best approach?

I'm creating a vb.net winforms application that will take in user given strings, parse them, and print out labels with variable information. The given string will be used in all the labels, but the variable part of the string will change with each label.
My question is: is it better to parse the strings one time, then store those values in arrays, or to parse the string each time a label is printed? Which will perform better? Which is better practice? What is the proper way to test something like this?

I am trying to create a program in VB.net to help me fix broken computer systems by parsing log files. I have some ideas but I have only built simple programs previously. I have ideas how to do this but so far my attempts haven't gone so well.Specifically I can either import a txt type file or copy and paste the contents of a txt file into the program and then have it compare what has been posted to a good/bad list then it reprints out what is bad in color coding. Also if their is a way to update the file it uses for comparison by entering in a txt file that would be stellar.

Let me preface this by saying I'm VERY limited in my programming knowledge/experience using any language. I mean I have extremely basic capabilities and don't quite understand this stuff inside and out like most of you do.Anyway, I'm trying to code a fantasy football draft program in VB 2010 that utilizes the MS Internet Transfer Control 6.0. It will retrieve the HTML from a website, say ESPN, and parse the data into player names, rankings, and other stats. Should all be simple strings/sub-strings. It will then populate a DataGridView control so that each row in the DGV has the player's name, ranking, projections for the season, etc. After this has been populated, the program will be designed to allow me to draft players and assign them to the various teams automatically. I am the commissioner and we do an off-line draft, so I will just make picks for everyone and submit them online later.

I have a dirty csv file that has 13 headers, but sometimes misses the last column value on some lines.
If the line has 12 columns, I would like to add ,0 as the 13th column.
Example:
2006/03/09,30403,7820,68,220,538,1956,14,3765,11384,26676,17932
2007/12/20,40796,13393,33,79,427,2604,11,4042,24974,44583,41561,7688
How can I read the file, and add ,0 to a line that only has 11 comma's and leave the lines alone when they have 12 comma's?

I'm toying with an idea that would require me to parse a text file that contains a SQL statement. (i.e. Select * From Customers) I would like to be able to programmatically via Visual Basic identify key words, table names, comment lines, etc.So, how do compilers handle such a task? How does a SQL database handle such a task? All of the parsing tools are for CSV files with some sort of consistent delimiter. I'm wondering if I need to read the file one character at a time and then do some sort of comparison.

I have a scenario where i have to Parse a UTF-16 Encoded CSV file and populate a treeview using VB.Net. I need to parse the CSV files which may also support other languages. how to proceed on this and what classes of .net I can use to solve this issue.
In VB.Net we do not have a provision to parse a UTF-16 file But There is a provision for reading UTF-8 encoded file.The method is OpenText(). I want a similar method but it should parse or read a UTF-16 encoded file.
