I'm writing a program that basically loads an entire text file into a streamreader variable, then reads this variable line by line and parses and writes a line into a new text file. I'm VERY new and my knowledge is mostly self-taught, but I can't seem to get out of this one. It works for smaller files, but it appears to reach a limit in characters at some point because in a file of 900 lines, it stops writing about halfway through 800 and there are no errors, the program actually completes and the message box pops up.
There are a few things with this code I already know I should fix, such as creating the new text file name, it's messy, I just don't know how.

I'm trying to read through a large text file using StreamReader using the following code
Dim Fs As FileStream = New FileStream(Filename, FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read) Dim sr As New StreamReader(Fs) Dim Line As String = ""
[Code]...
The process reads through the file and then exits the loop while only a third of the way through the file.What can I do to ensure it reads the whole file?

What I have stored in my file is values related to an account. (Just testing, not going to be used commercially). What I need is to draw the values for the username and password, by going through each new line, but .peek() doesn't seem to work for me.
My block looks as such : public string CheckAccount(string username, string password) { StreamReader sr; string filename = "H:\AccountInfo.txt"; string s; string result = ""; [Code] ..... My code doesn't read from the 2nd line onwards, it just hangs.
I am currently writing a Login Script, and I am having trouble making StreamReader read a specific line in a text file. This is what I have so far (not the entire script, just the reader lines): Dim path As String = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) Dim file As String = (path + "LogDat.txt") Dim sr As New IO.StreamReader(file) Dim line1 As String = sr.ReadLine(1) '' Supposed to read line 1 Dim line4 As String = sr.ReadLine(4) '' Supposed to read line 4 Dim line9 As String = sr.ReadLine(9) '' Supposed to read line 9
i have a stream reader reading a csv comma delimited file, its skipping every second line though if i edit the file and enter blank lines in between, it reads them correctly
I am in the process (slow process) if learning vb.net by trying to create a simple application that will read and write (save) chosen information to a text file. The application has text boxes (name, email address, etc) and I want to read information from certain lines in the text and place in the given text box.[code]When I start debugging mode it does not display the text until I click onto the text box and it's displaying the first line of text in the file. How do I skip the first line of text and have it display the second line (or the 6th, 24, or whatever line I need to be displayed)?Then I can start working on learning to use streamwriter
I already know the basic procedure of how to read specific cells of an .xls file using VB.NET but I can't figure out how to automatically get all the data from such a file.Basically, I'm obtaining the data like this:
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application Dim wb As Workbook Dim ws As Worksheet xlApp = New Excel.Application
[code]....
In this case, I know that there will be content in the first 10 rows of the columns A, B and C but what would I have to do if I had a huge document whose size and content might even change from time to time? I know that there is also an attribute ws.rows.count but this always returns a big value like 60000 even if only a few rows are occupied.So basically, I'm looking for a simple way to loop through all the used rows of an Excel file with the possibility of accessing each cell in that row.

I have a problem with a streamreader in visual basic 2008.I am updating a database from text files on an ftp server. The streamreader works fine until the file is more than 100,000 bytes long.It reads until it reaches this point and then just ends. No error message, it just reads to this point which happens to be 2 fields out of 6 in the database stream. My question is - does the streamreader have a limit? And if so what is a workaround?

I am looping through a text file and reading and then parsing each line.. then, inserting into a sql server. The problem is, I am getting every other line. Any thoughts? I read another post on here that is similar and it says that that person was calling the ReadLine twice... which makes sense. I just cannot spot where it is happening.

I am making a simple application that will be able to store competition data into a text file that I have given a custom extension to on saving. Here is an example of the format that i have saved the data in.
When i open the file, i want to redisplay the data in separate text boxes. Later on in the project i want to be able to search within the file for headings for example;
if "[Heat1]" is present then get all text between [Heat1] and [Heat1]
i am currently able to use the streamreader and open file dialog to retrieve the entire string of text fromthe however i am not sure how to go about getting the text between the headings I have used.
how does the streamreader read the file? how do you know where its up to? how does it read the file line by line, knowing where its read up?what program do you write so that it can read the file line by line and then put the text from the file into an array?
I am reading csv file via streamreader. Issue is that in csv file if if the data is like "Read" then steamreader the same data is coming as ""Read"". How to remove this extra inverted commas?
I am reading a file from the default location. I request a file by name only using an InputBox. If the User types a file that does not exist I get an exception error. I want to be able to handle the problem by outputting to a list box that the file was not found. My Code is something like:
sr = IO.File.OpenText(fileName) IF fileName <> "found" Handle issue Else Continue Code
I want to run a check to make sure the file does exist in the default location but not sure how to get it done. I had seen the Public Shared Function FileExists but I am not quite sure how to make it work.

I've Googled this for a long time but I haven't come across an answer...or I didn't realize it if i did. I need to create an advanced clipboard that will allow you to save 50 phrases for later use. It will have 5 tabs, 10 phrases on each tab with a button next to each phrase to copy. So, the user will open the program; click the appropriate tab then click the button next to a phrase to copy it to the computer's clipboard so they can paste it somewhere else.
