I finished every piece of code in my program save for one tid bit, how to pull two numbers from a text file. I know how to pull lines, I know how to pull search strings, but I cant figure out this one to save my life.[code]The two numbers that I need out of this are the two ones that I put in the **'s (the asterisks are not normally there). These numbers will be different every time this sheet is generated, and the number placement might be different as well as some of the numbers could have 4 digits, 5 digits, or 6 digits.

FirstName
LastName
PhoneNumber
Basically what I am trying to do is create a Search function where the user will enter a First and Last Name in the search boxes and upon hitting the ''Search'' button the program will look through the database and check if the records exists.
If the record does exist then I want the Phone number to appear in a separate textbox which is named txtPhoneN. I have included the code I use to connect to the Database. I have already managed code the part to Add new record to the database.

Im working on a way to use a Select statement to set the image of a picture box.
select case currentno
case 1
PictureBox2.Image = Image.FromFile(C:UsersValued CustomerDocumentsVisual Studio 2010ProjectsChiroReportChiroReportChiroReportPnt_GuideLAT CERVlatcerv52.jpg)

The Select statement should work fine but the path to the file i want to open doesnt. Id love a way to reference the Pnt_GuideLat Cerv directory based on where my program gets installed on the Hard drive.
I've had a search through a number of extremely useful articles on the forums, however rather than reinvent the wheel I thought I would ask if anyone already had what I am looking for..A simply little VB app that opens a session to a specific IP port and then writes to a test file everything it receives. If the connection drops, simply re-stablish it and keep listening for text to write to the file.

What is the best and fastest way to find the exact location(Drive/Folder) of a specific file, without scanning the whole drive.

View 3 RepliesI would like to search a webpage for a value in the left column of a table, then pull the value from the right column as my result. In a Visual Basic Forms Application.

Im trying to come up with a do while statement that reads through a text file till the end while pulling out 3 different matched items, then writing those matched items to ascending spots in an excel file, and then creating a bar graph according to the saved data. Sounds complicated but...I have the program reading the text file, pulling out the first iteration of all three, writing them to an excel file, and I have it even graphing them the way I want it to. The only thing I havent done before (and which is probably the easiest), is creating the do while statement so it keeps searching line to line for the three interactions of what im looking for and writing them to ascending spots in the excel file.
Right now my code works like this, which is perfect for pulling out the first 3 and creating a graph, I just inserting a do while and a rowindex + 1 variable.
vb Dim alines() = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("C:deviceinfo.txt")
Dim amatch As String
Dim muvalue As String
[CODE]................
I have a feeling in order to pull this off, I do not want to use the, "ReadAllLines" option and possibly want to put the text into an array.
And do something like: if lines.count > 0
But im not familiar with how arrays work in VB, and more specifically what the syntax is. The other tricky thing I am trying to add is an if statement that adds to a variable (such as i) everytime a line is added to excel so the program will write to ascending lines. I was trying to have the it work with the do while statement but pretty soon realized that if I did: i = i +1. Everytime it went through the loop then the data was going to be on random lines corresponding to their place in the text.

View 16 RepliesIs it possible to check a location for a file and if a file exists then create a new file (+1) in the file name? For example if there is no test file in the C:Temp folder then create a test.txt file and if there is one there then create C:Temp est1.txt and if there is a C:Temp est1.txt file then create C:Temp est2.txt and so on?
I was thinking
If Not IO.File.Exists("C:Temp est.txt") Then
IO.File.WriteAllLines("C:Temp est.txt" + 1, vbCrLf)
End If
