I am trying to write a form with 6 text boxes that when the update button is pressed it will add the text from each textbox to a text file and the each one separated by a comma on one line. I know how to read/write from a file to a text box and vice versa but I cannot figure out how to add 6 textboxes to the file in one go.
View 5 RepliesIs there a simple way to save user input from MANY controls (textboxes, comboboxes, etc...) to a text file? When I say 'MANY', I am referring to at least 580 textboxes and several dozen comboboxes.
I may be able to accomplish this using the StreamWriter Class, but doing this individually would take quite a long time. I suppose I could also change all text boxes to richTextBoxes and save to .rtf. It seems like this would be even more time consuming.
Surely there is a simpler way to do this 'globally', perhaps with an added single line of code that points (and saves) to a preset or created text.txt file whenever text is added or changed in a textbox or combobox throughout the program.
i need to code a program to help me in my everyday job, i own my own business and this will help me with my sales. its a very simple program, and i cant figure out how to get my multiple textboxes to write to a new .txt file. i can only get it to do 1 line at a time. I have textboxes. named txtDate, txtCarrier, txtLocation, txtDateEmpty, txtDestination, txtQuote, txtPhone, txtFax, txtEmail.I want the "txtDate" textbox to be autofilled with the current date and time of the user input, which is started on the next textbox.the rest of the textboxes are going to be user input. then when the user is done entering data into the multiple textbox's they would click a button "add" or something to that sort.then those text box entries including the "txtDate" would be written to a new .txt file.in this format, Quote"Date - Carrier - Location - DateEmpty - Destination - Quote - Phone - Fax - Email "all on the same line.and when the "add" button is clicked, the multiple textbox fields clear all the data previously entered.and is ready for another user input.
after the 2nd set of user input is entered, and "add" button is pressed,it would add(append) another line to same txt file previously written. example: Quote"Date - Carrier - Location - DateEmpty - Destination - Quote - Phone - Fax - Email " "Date2 - Carrier2 - Location2 - DateEmpty2 - Destination2 - Quote2 - Phone2 - Fax2 - Email2 "
then the previously filled text boxes would be empty again, and ready for input 3. and with this you would be able to add countless lines over and over of user input.ok, also when the program launchesI want a msg txt box to pop up and ask. "Where is the Load Origin?" then the user would input data and click enterAnother Msg box would pop up and ask "Where is the Destination?"Next "Pick Up Date" then "Deliver Date" and last would be "Notes" and all that data that was entered into the msg box's will Be at the top of the txt file like a header .

i have 6 text boxes on a form the contents of which changes depending on a list box, i also have a button which will be used to create a log file, my question is how do i write the contents of the 6 textboxes to a new text file, and on separate lines in the txt file when the log button is pressed.
EDIT: preferably also needs to use the save file dialog so user can choose file name and location to save to.
I have about 15 text boxes and instead of going to the event handler on each one and enabling a button on a change..

Instead of going through each one and typing that is there a simpler way?

I am using VB2008 now, couple of simple questions.
1) Is there some way to limit what my user puts in their textbox to numbers only? Or is there some way to check afterwards that the string only contains numbers and delete it if it contains anything else?
2) How to open a file, save the values of 5 text boxes into the file and then close the file?

I'm trying to implement Bandwidth Total calculation into my little desktop monitoring program using 2 *.txt files. Everything else is working great except for the writing/reading part of it. I had put this together originally without the intention of bandwidth monitoring, but I've decided it would be a good thing to have.I want to have 2 monitoring types: Windows Session Bandwidth Total & All-Time Bandwidth Total (since the program was 1st run on the machine). The counter is on a Timer (2nd of 2), and I want it to write and add the label values each second into the file, then when Form3 is opened, to read the text file and show the results.

So I'm in the final stages of finishing a program I've been working on for nearly a year now, and this is basically my final hurdle. The Save dialogue is working beautifully, with 'flags' in order to switch it over from the regular input into text boxes to the Listbox input protocol.
However, I'm having a *** of a time getting it to take lines from the text file and put them in the proper text box. Here is an example file:
Quote:
SHOWNAME
CALLNAME
BREED
[Code]....
So with the sample file I provided above, in the textbox named callNameText would appear "SHOWNAME", and so on and so forth. With this build, I get a NullReferenceException on the "Me.Controls(strboxNames(i)).Text() = strAllText(ati)" line.

View 5 RepliesI have a very large text file about 4 million lines that I would like to separate into several small text files based on the strings contained in the first column of the text file. I want to open the large text file, choose the lines that apply, create a new text file with a name that has a number at the end of which will match up with the value in the first column of the text file. I want to then copy the applicable lines to the new small text file, save and close it. I'm not sure how to go about doing this after opening the large text file and using the readline method. What if the folder does not exist? Do we have to create it? I want this procedure to be general, as there could be up to 25 million lines in the text file.

I've got a program which displays data in a listbox in five columns. All are separated using one or more ControlChars.Tab. I want to write these columns to a text file, however, when I do, my columns lose their alignment. I can change alignment so that it displays nicely in text file, but then it is off in list box. Is there a way to get what I see in my listbox to display the same way in a text file - maybe a different way of separating my columns (not using ControlChars.Tab)?

I have a form with 2 TextBoxes that I want to be able to save to a text document like C:Data.txt. When I save to the text document I want it to continuously save. For example it when you open the text file it should look something like this:

TextBox2

TextBox1
TextBox2
Is it possible to do something like that? A separator is not necessary, would be nice to distinguish different saves.
