I have a requirement to search large piles of text for keywords
The "keywords" are known in advance - but the number is variable.
The text is large - I've had 50000 byte strings in tests already...
My app is a Bible Reader. At load up I can choose Genesis Ch1 and its entirety pops into a rtb. I enter a word to search for like 'God' and hit the SEARCH button. The results I get are initially what I want. I get the verse 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. But then the app replaces the script with other words containing God, but all jumbled up. Here is the code I am using: Private Sub ToolStripButton2Search_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ToolStripButton2Search.Click Dim stSearch As String stSearch = Me.ToolStripButton2Search.Text For Each Line As String In File.ReadAllLines(Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "Bible VersionsKJV 1611King James Version of the Holy Bible.txt")) If Line.Contains(Me.ToolStripTextBox1.Text) Then Me.RichTextBoxViewer.Text = (Line) End If Next LineBryn Ryver

View 2 RepliesI am in charge of developing a searchable database which should allow users to search for any key term in every fils content in a folder. Note that I need to search for filescontent, not file name. Right now, users usually have to searchfor every file to look for particular filecontents with any key terms.

View 5 RepliesI haven't programmed for some time, so I'm a little rusty Basically I'm storing HTML within a variable, and I need to count the amount of times a specific element appears e.g. <h3 class=r> for now.
I thought of using a for each loop, and passing the string above into the parentheses of the loop (using a variable ofc) however for many reason's, I don't think this has a chance of working (won't bother explaining why, as I assume you can guess). Then thought of using the .Contains method of the string class, but I simply can't think of how to use it with what I'm trying to do.
I am trying to develop an application that will let me do the following
1) Be able to search to large binary files for a specific byte array (header) and to continue searching for another byte array (footer). Then i want it to copy the section of the binary file between these 2 locations to a specified file. Then the program is to continue searching for any other header/footers An example would be search a large file and carving out the jpgs it finds etc. This routine would have to be able to handle raw images of 20gb or more if needed.
I'm developing an app for WP7 and Win7 that will get info extracted directly from particular websites. The app will download the HTML source and parse through it to find the required strings. The strings may not have tags. note multiple instances of the string needs to be found. I've tried a few very rudimentary ways, and although they work, they are extremely slow.
View 4 Repliesi'm used to be a VB6 user and started move on to VB.NET few days ago and i'm still quite new to its new syntax.Today i came across there is a object declaration with the 'Nothing' keyword follows at the end and what it actually means? Dim l_Active As AvsIdentityType = Nothing
As i know Nothing keyword is usually used to release the instance to the object after we used it but why it is used in the declaration statement?BTW, the 'AvsIdentityType' is a public structure.
I have a small code and i want to highlight not only one found item in listbox but to highlight all items found under typed keywords.

I want like this:
Here is the code.
For i = 0 To ListBox1.Items.Count - 1
If ListBox1.Items(i).ToString.ToLower.Contains(Trim(LCase(TextBox1.Text))) Then
ListBox1.SelectedIndex = i

I am building a program that strips out certain keywords from a much larger file. I am using code that .paul. provided in a different post, but I can't get it to work correctly. Here is the code that I am using: [code] Basically, the first match will appear in textbox2, but no other matches appear after that. I put a breakpoint at the For Each loop and checked out the locals. I am showing 2,502 matches for the variable "match." I just now put another breakpoint in there and I can see that it is stepping, but nothing is recorded.In the archive is a file named debout.txt. This file should be used for the testing.
View 5 RepliesI'm fairly new to VB.NET, and I'm working on a text editor with a tabbed interface. I deal with large text files. Should I have each tab / text document open up in a new thread or a process? I basically want the entire application to always run fast as the text editor is just one part of it. If I have several large text files open I don't want the rest of the application slowing down a bit.

I want to write a program to do Markov chain, but my states are quite large. First of all I calculate all the transition probabilities and revenues for all states(1381860 total states), and store in a multidimensional array. Public RevArr(0 To 9, 0 To 750, 0 To 282) As Long
After that the iteration of markov chain should use these as inputs to calculate the steady-state probabilities. But when I try to run the main code I got this error.Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.
The following is the declaration of second array I add just another dimension for storing all the iterations, but I get this error. Dim stateprob(IT + 1, 0 To 9, 0 To 750, 0 To 282) As single

View 7 RepliesI'm trying to make a script that searches for multiple .TXT files in a directory, and then searches the text of each file for a matching string(ie. "turtles"). It will search each file for the word "turtles". I've been on google trying to figure this out for a while, I'm guessing StreamReader is the way to go?

My problem is I have very large text files (approx 2GBs+).They have records in them based in one per line.Each line is not the same length and the data can be different lengths all the time.I am currently reading the file line by line, then splitting the data by common characters in the records. To process the full file it currently takes 3hours. This is way too slow for its purpose.
View 4 RepliesI've a problem reading text file using StreamReader. The file have between 500 000 and 1 000 000 lines.When I try to read it in a cycle, I get an error. That's why I've tried the StreamReader.ReadToEnd method. It worked fine. I've get the entire contents of the file in one string. So far everything is okay, but I've a small problem searching this huge string. I have to reformat the string to my desired format. I'll try to be more specific: The format of the input file is as follows:
50471100 8 2 6 5 0<LF><CR>
00000016 365442 12231<LF><CR>
00000026 112166 31133<LF><CR>

If if doesnt find any matches, it says "no matches found".
