one of the BIG hurdles in my simple project, making a search engine. I don't know how at all. The search engine need only to search in one Directory with its sub directories and txt files for criteria, and display the results, with option open from the results. any basic code or example maybe?

The above code reads all the files & directories in a selected path. It ignores any hidden folders, like it suppose to. Except it doesn't ignore folders inside of the hidden folders that it finds & I need it to.I can't quite wrap my head around how to make it ignore all folders & files inside of a hidden folder that it find.
I have an issue with avoiding this exception and trying to continue on with my code.im trying to search directories for a file. this is my code

If Not fFile.Attributes = FileAttributes.System Then
If fFile.Extension = Extension Then

It's the files located in the C:System Volume Information Directory.How can i avoid the exception but continue on. I can't put a if then statement around the variable declaration. because then i can't use the variable. And catching the exception just causes my routine to stop.

So i can to verify if these two files exist?
But not: my.computer.filesystem.fileExists("for each one")
i have been trying to search a specified directory and all sub directories for all files that have the specified file extension. However the inbuilt command is useless as it errors up and dies if you dont have access to a directory.

Dim di As New DirectoryInfo(path)
Dim fi As FileInfo

What I want it to do is to have it return an array of relitive file paths, from the starting direcotry I give the function. Then I will use a loop to cycle though each file in the array to make certain changes.
Something like this:

Any ideas on how to acomplish this?
I have a page in VB.NET that is hosted with IIS 7 on Windows 7 Home Premium. The page has code in the Page_Load event that scans through a directory and adds all sub directories to a drop down list. When testing through VS2010, it works perfectly. However, when I set the site up in IIS, the page loads correctly but nothing is added to the drop down list. My current code is: [Code]
View 3 RepliesI'm creating a program that creates new directories and subdirectories in the "C:Program Files" folder, and the operation fails if the user has the User Account Controls enabled in both Windows Vista and Windows 7. Is there a way I can give my application permission to automatically create these directories without requiring the user to turn off the User Account Controls?

I'm re-doing a small application I made a long time ago. It's similar to CCleaner, where it scans specific directories and removes temp files.My old application worked, but it was messy and only had a handful of locations. The new version has a ton more locations and files, but that creates a problem with how the original app was designed.In the old app (I made this a very long time ago) everything was just jammed into the main class, including variables, methods, etc. There wasn't a whole lot of thought put into it.Now, I'm trying to figure out the best way to make this class so when I'm done, I can release it to the community and it be easy to use.The main problem I'm having is how I should set up the methods. There are so many different types of directories and files, that I'm not sure if I should create a separate class for each method, or have a bunch of methods in one class or have one method in one class.
There are some directories that need to be searched recursively, some that don't, some files need a filter and others don't. I think that's the extent that I need.So, what do you all think is the best option so that it will be easy for the end user to just add the directories/files and start scanning?Right now, I have a base class that has two properties. One for directories and one for files, both of which are arrays.Actually, just as I'm typing this, I'm thinking I could create a class that represented a directory and another that represented a file. Both classes would have properties set for them that I could use in the main scanning class. That would allow me to identify what was needed for that directory/file, like recursive searching and filters.
I'm working on a program that will be a semi-autosubmition in web directories. I need an ideea for my directory list.I want to able to navigate from one directory to other with a "next button". Now I'm using a listbox saved in a text file, but i don't know how to make the selection for "next directory".I'm only able to click on the list. And what I thinking was if it is posible to have a better list, advanced, like a table with more columns like: url, if url is valid, pagerank for example, and maby sort by this filtres.
View 1 RepliesBasically I'm going to try and develop a software that merges PDFs automatically using the PDFSharp API.What I want in the program is to basically that: Have the program to give and Input and Output directoryMerge all the documents in the directory or sub-directoryRename the merged PDF file according the the name of the directory/sub-directoryIf the folder has PDF files and a Sub-Directory I want to merge the PDF files in the folder and rename them as per the main folder, and rename the files in the sub-folder according to its name (i.e. seperate|)
It's the first time I'm using an API.The problem I have is how to use the directories and sub-directories as I need them.

The form it is on is frmMidwest.vb, the database is MarchMadnessDB, with the table being tblMidwest and the column being Username. I am trying to get it so when the user loads frmMidwest.vb it will then check the database to see if the user has entered their picks and if they have it will load their picks back into frmMidwest.vb if the database cannot find their user then it needs to add a record to the database and allow the user to enter their picks. I have already established this with
TblMidwestBindingSource.AddNew()
But if the user exists I do not want them to be able to enter another record. The primary key in the database is the username.

I'm trying to make it so one can search the title of a song:

One hits search, and it searches certain mp3 sites for the song, collects the names of the file name to be downloaded from certain sites, drops them into the listbox, and one can right click the song title extracted in the listbox & click download or save.
The user inputs a serial number in a form, the program searches a specified text file on the internet for that serial number, and if it is there then the program runs normally, but if not it exits. I already know how to do the trial part of this program and I know that this is not secure as someone could just hack it and find the text file and read the numbers, however this is for school and is not commercial. The only thing I need to know is how to search a text file for exact text that has been inputted by the user. I've been trawling the internet and I've heard of something called instr or something, but I'm not sure.
View 3 RepliesI have code that is producing the end result I desire but has a few clunky issues I dont like. I'm wondering if I'm simply using the wrong control or am using the tablelayoutpanel incorrectly.The tablelayoutpanel has 4 rows and 1 column.
The rows are filled with:
Row 1: header information
Row 2: search information
Row 3: a datagridview displaying the search results
Row 4: a label for displaying messages
Rows 1, 2 and 4 are set to absolute size. Row 3 is set to 100%.What I want is to have row 2 not appear until a user clicks a button in row 1. I was able to achieve it using the following
Public Class Form1
Private _searchRowHeight As Integer = 72
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
[code]....
I want the search row to be hidden by default. To do this I am calling the ToggleSearchPanel routine when the form loads. That's minor and I could probably live with it. The other issue is that have to store the height of the panel height manually so that I can later restore the panel size. That is truly bothersome since any change in the designer means that I have to remember to also set my variable to the new height.
I have a HTML code in my RichTextBox:
<b>

I use this code to search a text between two tags, example <b>,</b>.
StartCode = InStr(1, MyString, "<b>")
EndCode = InStr(1, MyString, "</b>") - 3
RichTextBox1.Text = (Mid(MyString, StartCode, EndCode - StartCode))
Now i want use that:
StartCode = InStr(1, MyString, "<b> ???NewLine??? </i>")
EndCode = InStr(1, MyString, "</i></b>") - 3
RichTextBox1.Text = (Mid(MyString, StartCode, EndCode - StartCode))
Now instead of ?NewLine? what should I enter?
