My teacher as asked me to allow a user to input three pieces of information about a DVD (the ID, the title and the running time) and for the program to add that data to a sequential file. My textbook fails to explain it and I am at a loss as to where my book from last semester is located at the moment.
1. What is a sequential file?
2. How do I display information from it into a messge box?
I am trying to copy the values to another sheet but not in any sequence eg.A1,B2,C4,D7 ........and so on. I am trying this slick way of doing it by the code below ( found on the web) without success so far but I got a feeling I am close to the solution. I am new to any kind of Programming. This is my first attempt. (so a chuckle or two is ok after seeing my "difficult" problem)
(This is an excel VBA Prblem)
Sub justdoit()
Dim s As Variant

I know that Deleting a specific line in a sequential text file is impossible but instead copy the needed lines and not copying the unneeded ones to an output file .. killing the old one and renaming the new one with the same.. I can't make this step...
That is my record file
Code:
Input #1, CustomerName, CustomerHomeAddress, CustomerBussAddress, CustomerTel1, CustomerMob1, CustomerID, DateRent, CarRegPin
Code:
"Josek Sam","68 West Land Street","149 Union of States","4524563","45635463","JOSKSAM1",#2009-03-02#,"MILANCGLZ2008"
"Josef Malm","142 Unions Street","64 Hamersters Street","452504","42542054","JOSFMALM2",#2009-03-06#,"MILANCGLZ2008"
"Dave Green","131 Oxford Street","96 BlueBane Route","452542452","43254345","DAVGRN3",#2009-03-07#,"MILANCGLZ2008"
I made a form that when you put your CustomerID in Text3 Box.. it access the records and make some calculations. now.. The customer will return the car.. Then his data should be deleted.. I want to know how to make that when I enter the CustomerID and press on the Command button .. It copies the other lines to a new output folder and doesn't copy these ... So it appears to be deleted using this way..
I am stuck on an easy problem I'm sure, but for the life of me i cannot figure it out. I need to read a sequential file into a listbox. I can read the file into the textbox but i want to format the data in the listbox. for example i want to PadLeft(10), delete the excess commas, and give a heading for each column. here is the code i have and attached is the text file.
Imports System.IO

I am working on a program in Visual Basic that incorporates using a sequential access file for a ballot type program. Each type the user clicks the save vote button, the amount of votes gets stored.
What I am trying to do is in my access file is to display the number of votes as an actual number. The way my program is written right now, the name of the candidate appears as many times as the vote was saved.
for example, if perez was voted for 4 times, in the access file perez is displayed on 4 different lines. How do I display the actual number of how many time they were voted for. I'm thinking using a counter variable, but not really sure how to really implement it in. this is what i have so far.

So i'm writing this program that puts the number 0-3 in a new line in a text file. The number thats stored is dependant on the index of the users current selection in a listbox. I have no problems coding the button that stores the votes but I'm having some problems with the button that displays the votes in each choice's individual label. This is what I have so far. I add 3 to the index each time because of the CR and LF that's caused by the ControlChars.NewLine that's used when modifying the sequential file.The problem I'm having is "Explicit initialization is not permitted for arrays declared with explicit bounds." on the line where I try to make the contents of votes equal to the contents of the sequential file. The error makes sense to me, but I don't know any way to get around this.

I am trying to read from a text file called: "NameList1.txt". It has four lines and two variables seperated by a ",".
The following is my code:
FileOpen(fn, NameFile, OpenMode.Input)
Do While
Not EOF(fn)
Input(fn, a, b)
txbFirstData.Text = a
txbScndData.Text = b
Loop
"End of code"
fn is the freefile number and "NameFile" the the path and filename.
I get the following error:
Overload resolutionfailed because no accesible 'Input' accepts this number of arguments.
I'm working on a new version of something I had created years ago in VB6. What I was doing then is populating a combobox with lines from a sequential file ("title","URL") like this:
Open "data.dat" For Input As #1
Do While Not (EOF(1))
Input #1, NameInput, URLInput
cmbEntry.AddItem NameInput
Loop
And then checking against it on a button click to load the URL associated with the selected name:
Open "data.dat" For Input As #2
Do While (cmbEntry.Text <> NameInput) And (Not (EOF(2)))
Input #2, NameInput, URLInput
Loop
[Code] .....
What I'm trying to do in Visual Basic 2010 is the same process, though I'll be including a third field ("category","title","URL") to determine which one of four different comboboxes I add the entry to. I know I need to use streamreader, but I'm not finding much in the way of documentation or examples on how to do what I'm trying to do, which is:
- Populate one of four comboboxes with the second value in each line of an external text file, based on the first value in that line
- Set a string to the third value in a line of an external text file, based on the second value of that line
How to read these values from the file.

2008 Array Processing and Sequential File Processing
View 14 RepliesIm a college student and this is my first programming class, i am having extremely diffcult time with arrays and sequential file processing. Im not asking for the whole program, just something to get me started and hints along as i progress with it. Please help me get started on my program, its due in 2 days.
Here are the requirements....
1. The program must input any number of individual�s last and first names using two separate textboxes.
2. The array of names must be sorted by the last name using a bubble sort. You must code the sort.
3. The program must be able to recall the names from the file and add to the existing list of names so that more names can be added to, sorted, and written back to the file in sorted order.
4. Sort in ascending order: A to Z
5. All names must be displayed in a listbox in sorted order when the user wishes to see them.
6. In the listbox the last and first names must be separated by a comma and a space. Example: Smith, Mary
7. The user must be able to search for a name in the array, using the binary search algorithm. You must code the search.
8. Do not use module-level variables. Instead you may choose to use Static.
9. The program must be designed using Visual Basic 2008
First... does the array subscript have to be sequential? (0,1,2,3,4) Or could I pull the system date and use that? i.e. dim Beer() could have Beer(33939) for today, and then not record anything for three weeks and the next entry would be Beer(33960), etc.Along the same lines, and pointless if the answer above is yes...I'm writing a prog to handle inventory for a bar. The bar has 230 different beers at the moment. Could I create a 2-dimensional array using a product number, date for the subscript?
i.e. - for received data... recBeer(a,b)recBeer(229,33939) = 48(Meaning 48 bottles of beer #229 arrived on date 33939)SO... a is the product, b is the date. Any searches for (229,*) would provide me with the complete history of that product being received. any searches for (*,33939) would tell me all of what was received on that date.Will that work?(And yes, I'm stuck with a flat file to make this work. Much rather have a db involved.)
i am coding an application where I want to populate an array with the contents of a sequential file that is already populated as salary.txt in the debug folder. Basically, I want to copy the contents of that file to an array so that I may use a code to go with the intSubscript of the array. Right now it functions as just an array for this purpose, but I want to populate the array with the sequential file first. All attempts to do this, with stream writer etc and readline, I am just getting the first item in the file. I have tried to loop it and still only the first is accessable. Driving me batty, turning to the masses for guidence.[code]
