VS 2010 - Statement That Reads Through A Text File Till The End While Pulling Out 3 Different Matched Items

Oct 10, 2011

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.

Forms :: Make A Program That Reads Text Entered Into A Textbox And Creates A List Of Items By Separating Entries By Commas?

Aug 18, 2010

Hi, I'm working on a program that reads text entered into a textbox and creates a list of items by separating entries by commas. Everything is working fine, except, because I am using an array to store the items in the list, I have a limited number of entries. This is only a problem because, as it is written currently, each comma counts as an individual entry. Therefore, users can enter ",,," for example, and it would use up 3 places in the array.

I'm looking for a way to check to make sure there is text after the comma before adding an entry. I've attempted to use the .substring command to check the character after, which works until it gets to the last character. Because there is no character after that, it will give an error.

Here is my code for extra clarity:

Public Class frmMain
Dim intCounter As Integer 'Stores the # of commas in the string
Dim Messages(49) As MessageProperties

Combo Box Items Match With Gridview Row And Display Only The Matched Row

Apr 24, 2012

The user will click the book name in the combo box.

Note: The combo box is separate from datagridview . It is not part of datagridview columns.

Then the datagridview for Issuing books i.e. with the columns bid,bname,aname,data of issue,date of return should be displayed.

The row that will be displayed in datagridview is such that the bookname selected by user in the combo box should match with bname row .

On the same datagridview there will be button with name "Issue" so once it is clicked then this whole data of datagridview should get stored in the database table name "Issue" and get deleted from the databse table name "MBA"

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.

Pulling SQL Data Into Text File - Some Fields Null / Blank

Apr 2, 2010

I am trying to pull sql data into a text file. The code works just fine, until some new data comes in from lazy employees and a couple fields (used for notes/comments) are now left blank. Originally I've never seen them blank so I didn't think anything of it.
col2 = myreader.GetString(1)
It will error if the field is ever null - I even tried using a case when:
case when note is null then '" & empty & "' else note end and set the variable emtpy = '', but vb still thinks that it's null and errors?

Finding The Page Number Of A Matched String In A Word File?

Jun 7, 2011

I am not an ardent developer in vb.net programming. But off late I am using vb.net to develop a windows application.

The following is what I am trying to do:

I am reading an excel file and storing the string value present in each cell, and trying to match the string in a word file.

The program works fine except that I am having problems in returning the page numbers of the matched string.

The page number value is always returned as one.

The following is a piece of what I had written:

If FindStringInFile(wordfilename, vValues) Then
currentPageNumber = word.ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.Selection.Range.Information(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdInformation.wdActiveEndAdjustedPageNumber)
TextBox3.Text = currentPageNumber
End If

wordfilename is my word file and vValues is my excel string data

Comport Reads Errors After Number Of Good Reads

Jan 28, 2009

I have a hardware which sends out packets containing 17 bytes to the comport in bursts of 3. the little test VB that I have written receives and displays the bytes in a line of 17 bytes long and works fine until it gets to around 170th packet, then it starts to mix up (looks like shifting the data left) the bytes shift mostly by one digit sometimes by two. then it will continue to give almost a packet correct and a packet shifted for about 50 packets. Then it will correct itself for a long while, but then the speed at which it receives drops. All the packets are sent 3 times, and before things go wrong (within the first 170 packets) the packet counter shows that it receives 3 packet each time but after the problem it goes to 2 packet per burst and then to one.

If i close my VB monitoring program say at packet 165 and immediately open it again, it wont go wrong for another 170 packets, this points the finger at VB. I have check my hardware, there is no problem with that.The program reads port - waits for 17 bytes - once 17 has been received it will go and buffer the packet in an array. In fact they are 2 arrays but printing fro either results in the same problem.I have tried whatever i could think of but to no avail, i am wondering if some kind of house keeping needs to be done to clear something... I am sorry the program is a bit messy but I have been making many changes to find out what the problem is - my code below:[code]

VS 2008 - Linq Statement To Go Through A Dropdown Menu's Sub Items And Get What Items Are Checked

Apr 8, 2010

I have the following linq statement to go through a dropdown menu's sub items and get what items are checked: vb Dim UnselectedItems = From xItem As ToolStripMenuItem In tsiSelectObjects.DropDownItems Where TypeOf xItem Is ToolStripMenuItem AndAlso CType(xItem, ToolStripMenuItem).Checked = False

I get this error tho: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripSeparator' to type 'System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem'. As you can probably guess i have ToolStripMenuItems and separators in there

However the AndAlso should short circuit in the case where the item is not a ToolStripMenuItem and it doesn't seem to be doing so (as TypeOf xItem Is ToolStripMenuItem=false in this case)?

Asp.net - Delaying File Read/write Till It's Done Being Used?

Nov 7, 2011

I have a vb.net MVC3 Razor app that generates PDF files. The problem is that if 2 seperate users click the print button at the same time it throws the following exception..:

The process cannot access the file 'E:webxxxxxxxxxxsonlPDF_FilesMailingLables.pdf' because it is being used by another process.

All of the controller actions to do with printing are basically like below:

Function Ind_Cert(ByVal firstName As String, ByVal lastname As String, ByVal classRef As String)
Dim _Attendance As attendance = db.attendances.Where(Function(f) f.Completed_Class = "Completed" And f.firstName = firstName And f.lastName = lastname).FirstOrDefault

This error happens like I said any time 2 users try to generate a PDF file at the same time.

i need to copy the text from a webpage into a txt file which will then be copied into a txtbox on my form (this parts done),the web page url will always be the same and the page will contain just a line of text that will chage from time to time

also i need it not to update the text file if the page displays "page cannot be displayed"i think the best way to do this is if i always start the website text and end the text with a certain "very random" word like "websitedownload" this will never come up anywhere elsealso if it doesnt copy unless the url is exactthis will stop default search engines kicking in.the website is mine/company's so this i can do

App That Reads From The Com Port, Filters The Data, Then Writes To The Text Box?

Mar 15, 2009

I am writing an app that reads from the com port, filters the data, then writes to the text box, then immediately starts over. This all takes place in an endless " do while" loop within the "start" button code. I also have a end button too which closes the com port and ends the program. Some other buttons are present also to change the filter settings.Problem is when I click start, data is logged, but none of the other buttons work. Also some of the text boxes are "see through" and dont look like thy have updated with the rest of the form.

EXCEL Reads A Text String As Scientific Notation

Dec 31, 2007

I am working on a project that involes reading an Excel file, picking through it, then creating a flat CSV file. One of the the data elements I am picking up is a 9 character string that may be numeric, or contain one or more alpha chatacters. Excel has a nasty habit of converting long numerics to scientific notaion. I can overcome this by converting the "general" string to "TEXT".

However, there is one instance where I can not get the function to work...the string is "90333E108" ( the CUSIP for USU). Regardless, the text string is saved properly into the CSV file. When opened in a text editor, it reads correctly.

When opened with Excel, it is in scientific notation. Changing the field to "text" from "scientific" still displays "9.03E+112".

how to create an csv file that Excel will open and read correctly?

You can test this by creating an Excel workbook, format all cells as TEXT and add the following data:

90333E108
123
2
