WinHttpRequest.Open Regex For Url Path?
Apr 28, 2010
I am trying to automate a daily download of a file on one of our customer's sites. I have run into a challenge because the file name does not fit into a patter. The file name in addition to the days date usually contains about 12 digits randomly generated by their system. what I need to do in order to automate this?
Const HTTP_PATH = "https://sitewithfiles.com/vendor/"
Const LOCAL_PATH = "\mycomputerdownloads"
Public Sub Get_daily()

I tried to use WinHTTP Request to retrieve a webpage (HTTPS website) in VB.Net and for some reason it was only returning the partial HTML, is there any length restriction on the number of characters it could take? If so, can I get the content after, say, 10000th character?
The relevant code is here:
oRequest = New WinHttp.WinHttpRequest
oRequest.Open("GET", sQueryURL, False)
oRequest.SetTimeouts(0, 600000, 0, 0)

Can I get an english explanation of .*? I kinda know what it does, but a breakdown would be nice on the logic behind it. Also, in the same manner, I'm after the specification for special characters, especially " but if it's doable, for as many special characters, or all of em as long as " is included.
EDIT: Might as well include the entire context, because I'll prolly be asking this in another thread in 15 minutes.

I want to list all open Windows Explorer windows with their active path in a ListBox. The app should refresh the ListBox if the explorer window is navigated to a different path.
For e.g. two explorer windows are open. One is navigated to C:Windows and the other is navigated to D:Stuff. When the app it run, it adds C:Windows and D:Stuff to the ListBox. Then, the user navigates to a different folder in one of the open explorer windows like C:Windowssystem32. The app should then refresh the ListBox and list C:Windowssystem32 and D:Stuff instead.

Start("Program.exe")
This does not work
Nor thisSystem.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Program.exe")
Only this works...but I can't use the Drive path..cannot hardcode it.
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:Program FilesX-ProgramProgram.exe")
So how do I start an outside Exe file from within vb net without hardcoding the path.

I have a database that contains a file path in 4 of the columns. I am using VB Express 2008 on Windows 7 (I have already figured out the 32bit to 64bit problem while working with access databases). This path is generated from code on another form. I have a datagridview that contains the path in a columns. i want to be able to click on the file path column and the file (in this case it is either a .jpg or .pdf) opens.

Is there a way to write a list of all paths and file names of currently open files. The best I can do is use the System.Diagnostics.Process class to grab the processes of the applications in which I am interested and then get the file name from the main window title for each process. There is no way to get the path for these files, however, with this approach.

is there a way in vb.net to open microsoft outlook without knowing the file path exactly? different versions of outlook use different file locations, then you have to worry about the program files and program files(x86). is there a way to just launch outlook using the system.diagnostics.process.start("..") without the file path?
i dont want to have to test folders:
If Folder_Exists("C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice12") Then

Using vb.net 2008 I have a form with a PDFViewer control. I pass the filename and path to open the pdf. When the form is closed, AcroRd32.exe is not destroyed. It remains in Task Manager even after I've completely closed the application. The more pdf files I open, the more memory used. How can I destroy? I've tried setting the control = nothing, ctrl.dispose but neither is working. What am I doing wrong?

I need to open a *.py file in the shell (DOS) box, but it returns an error that no file was found at the specified path. But this path is completely correct. Unless Visual Basic are referencing to paths in another matter than C#? 'Cause I am developing in C# and referenced to VB to do this.

I have a program written in VB.net 2003 that are folks run under alternate credentials. Inside the app there is an option to open a UNC path to a network share. We were running Windows XP SP3 and IE6. The code is simple just a call to the explorer.exe with /root,\UNCPath. After installing IE 8 onto the machine this no longer works. Best I can tell the code is still working but now being executed in non interactive mode so nothing opens up. You can however see a new spawned explorer.exe running under the system account for each attempt at opening a UNC Path. Any ideas what IE8 could have done to cause this behavior?

I am trying to automate a process I do with a bank with vb.net. Basically I need to open a website and navigate through it (Automatically through the program obviously), enter a batch ID and enter a file path and name. For some reason when I get to the part where I need to enter the file name and path, it simply will not populate the text. I have attached a word document with screenshots and code. The only difference I can see, is that in the bank website's code the the input type for the file text is "FILE" rather than "TEXT" as it is for the batch id...

I am having an issue where I am using regex.Replace to replace part of a string. The basic idea is that I want to capture the beginning of the string then replace the end of the string with a value from code. For an example pretend I have a string that says "Test Number " followed by number and I want to increment that number. I capture the "Test Number " but when I try to concatenate that capture with the new number it treats the capture ($1) as a literal and replaces the entire string with $1[new number].
[code]...
This will output "We are on Test Number 2", as expected. how I can use a variable in the replacement string portion of the Regex.Replace when including a captured group?
