VS 2010 Text Box/file Search And Find Line Number?
Jun 5, 2011
I'm new here, but have been in and out for a while. Past threads have been helping me along thus far.
I'm currently developing an app which essentially needs a way for me to search in a text box or file for a specific string, and extract the line on which that string appears on. It will be unique, and the syntax is the same on each line. It has basically 2 ID numbers, and is laid out like this:
123456|123456
So, I'd need to search for the first part before the |, and then get the line so I can get the bit after the |, which is the important bit for me.

I am trying to do a search on a index/row number taken from a dataview i.e. I enter 379437 in the input box which I know has a index/row number of 6. Now when I replace the Rows(index) with a Rows(6) I get the results that I want. When I run the code below the index comes out as 75 which displays the first row from the dataset which is a completely different set of results.

I'm trying to search for text that is known to be in a TextBox.
Once it is found, I want to return the line number it was found on.
Also, I would like to know how to delete all blank lines from a TextBox.
These two problems have been plaguing me for the last 2 days.

I just joined this forum as I've been looking for a nice and serious VB forum for a long time
I'm having troubles making a program to search a text file line by line for a specific string.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader("C: est.txt")
[Code]...
as you can see in the code its supposed to read a text file and if the line contains the same string as in the textbox then its gonna make a messagebox.
now the problem, if the line does not contain the specific string but the next or any line other line does, then it should automatically read the next line on "Else" and that's where I'm lost
for a "Readnextline" command or something like that?

I'm looking to search a text file and return back the full line of text...So if Option1= is found, capture the entire line
Option1=14,26,21,67
I guess I'm looking to be able to capture the start of where it found the text to the end of the line.

I would like to read an HTML file, search each line to see if it starts with </head>. Then add the centering code after it. That line at destination file should read:
</head><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" width="760"align="center"><tr><td>
After this I don't care to search for anything. Just read from source and write to destination. I know there are programs out there to find/replace text in series of files but I am not allowed to use external programs.

Am using VB 2005 and need to take an existing txt file which basically has 15 sets of data, each set containing a year (ie Year 1990) and a number below the year.
When a user clicks the calculate button on a form, I need it to first list the average of all those numbers in the txt. And below that I need the largest number in the file to be displayed.
I am basically familiar with using objReader and StreamReader. But, I can only verify and open the text.

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.

I have the following problem where in VS2005 VB I am returning all text in a text file to a rich textbox for preview purposes. Once I have returned this I am searching for a specific word (sv_hostname) and I need it to return a different result (Server name Here)on the same line to a text box. For example: Test file contains lots of lines where one of the lines would look like this within the text file.
set sv_hostname �Server Name Here�
I want textbox1 to only show Server Name Here The user must then be able to modify this and append this to the text file/rich textbox.
My Code so far:
vb.net
Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
Dim ServerName As String

I am trying to append a new line to a text file. Sometimes it posts to a new line (like I want it to) and sometimes it appends to the current line, consequently screwing up my read. I even put VbNewLine in the code.
Here is the snippet:
Dim outputline2 As String
outputline2 = equip & "," & value
Dim myfile2 = File.AppendText("equiped.txt")
myfile2.WriteLine(outputline2, vbNewLine)
myfile2.Close()

my program can add new lines and select url's but I can't get the remove button working, I read that (maybe) I have to read all lines and write a new file.

Dim removedata As New System.IO.StreamWriter("z:station.list.txt")
removedata.Write(""(currentfield))

I'm trying to have a program remove lines from a text file if they start with a certain string. I haven't had much luck with this over the past couple of days so I thought I'd try and get some advice.
This is the code that I've tried most recently, and makes some sense to me, but gives a "A first chance exception of type 'System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException' occurred in mscorlib.dll" error:
Dim SourcePath As String = "C: est.txt"
Dim fileLines As List(Of String)
fileLines = New List(Of String)(File.ReadAllLines(SourcePath))
