I am attempting to write data to a text file from a form.
My code is as follows:
x.Write(TextBox1.Text)
x.Write(TextBox2.Text)
x.Write(TextBox3.Text)
x.Write(Textbox4.Text)
x.WriteLine()
x.Close()
I have x.writeline() which writes a new line to the text file. However when I add all four textbox values they appear as follows:
Textbox1Textbox2Textbox3Textbox4
But I want it to look like:
Textbox1 Textbox2 Textbox3 Textbox4
I want to write a line into a text /.cfg file. the line is = name "ishtiak", i need a space between name & "ishtiak". the text "ishtiak" is loading from a textbox called textbox1. i don't want in the text box my name like this "ishtiak" it will be without "" like this ishtiak but in the text file it will add "" before & after my name.
so the question is: 1.how to add space between name & "ishtiak"? like this = name "ishtiak". 2.My textbox text will be ishtiak,but it will be written like this "ishtiak" [Code]
i need my program to enter text into a txt file but, i can not seem to find out how to make it press enter, and i what i mean is my program adds to the text like this...[code]
View 2 RepliesI am writing each line to a text file:
Dim objWriter As New System.IO.StreamWriter(filename)
For Each x In tofile
objWriter.WriteLine(x)
Next
objWriter.Close()
Which works perfectly the only problem is is that when its finished it writes a blank line on the end of the text file which I don't want.
I am making a vb.net app and I need to know how to overight onto a specific line in a text file. For example:[code]Now, I want to completely overight the "B" to an "A" and the line I need to write on is "2" also, my application will produce dynamic text files as well so I wont always be able to know what line exactly to overight. So my question is, how do I write to a line when I know what line it is and how do I search for a specific line and overight that.
View 3 RepliesI have the same problem that Niphoet had in this thread: vb .net overwrite a specific line in a text file
I am trying to implement the code that Axarydax showed in C# that I am trying to translate to use into vb.net. My problem is that the code will make my new text file but will not write any of the lines from the other text file to it and just leaves it blank. I think my problem is with the while loop statement but I am not sure.

I've got my self in to a pickle here.I'm trying to do something I used to do in basic? At-least I think you can do this in Basic, you know Qbasic,What I'm trying to do is put 4-8 strings on to one line separated by a comma.Example might be:
writer.writeline (bob1, bob2, bob3, bob4) Out put might look like Test, Test2, Test3, Test4
I'm tried looking in to formatting of writeline/write, but I didn't get any where with it.
Also if this is possible- I would like to be able to read it just like :
reader.readline (Rbob1, Rbob2, Rbob3, Rbob4) If anyone cold just point me in the right direction, I'm sure I can figure it out - If not... Well I will ask another question.
How would i get a certain text inside a textbox to equal that text space to space or null to space?
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If Textbox1.Text.StartsWith(Textbox2.Text + " ") And Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(Textbox2.Text) Then
Textbox1.Text = Textbox1.Text.Remove(0, Textbox2.TextLength)
Textbox3.AppendText("a")
End If
Btw: after i finish this step my project will be finished!
I want to modify a text file. It has a lot of lines of text in it. I want to add a line after a specific line (in the middle on other lines) and write strings there.
The code i have, writes to a specific line but it also overwrites the text on that line:
[Code].....
i tried this but it didn't work,
if label1.text.contains "$" then "$" = " $"
Public Sub WriteTextFile(ByVal SourceToWrite As String, ByVal LocationToWrite As String)
Dim file As System.IO.StreamWriter
IO.File.Delete(LocationToWrite)
[Code].....
This is a module I made to write to a .txt file. Every time it adds a new line with null value. wouldn't really bother me but it adds but then something that only suppose to have like 3 lines in it ends up with 5000 over time, anyone know how to not add that extra line while writing file?
I am having problems with opening a file and writing in a new line some data.Instead of writing the data in a new line,it replaces the data in the first line of the file with the new data.The function is this:
Code:
Private Sub cmdAdd_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdAdd.Click
ListBox1.Items.Add(txtServerName.Text)
[Code]....
I've been looking through the FCL for a method that will allow me to erase a line of text from a text file and replace it with another line of text. Neither the StreamReader nor StreamWriter have a method for replacing or removing Text from a text file, as does the string object. Are there any available methods for erasing just certain lines of text from a file, and then replacing them with others?
In my code, I'd like to locate a certain line in the text file, and then at that point in the text file, use a For...Next Loop to replace each successive line of the text file with new text:
Dim user_data_file As String = "user_data.txt"
edit_input = New StreamReader(user_data_file)
Dim edit_line As String = edit_input.ReadLine
[CODE]...
However, I can't find any methods that will allow me to do this.
Basically what I'm trying to do is read a text file line by line. After each line is read, it will put each line into a separate text box. I've been trying to do this for a while and so far I haven't been able to. I tried using a for loop, but that just put all my lines in to one textbox.
View 8 RepliesI'm reading a text file with StreamReader, line by line. If a condition is met, then I do an operation and then start reading the file again from the first line. I realize I could close and then re-open the file, but surely this would be very slow.
I could do this easily in VB6, but pulling my hair out trying to do this in vB.net. It seems that 'Seek' is the function to use, but it doesn't work.
I've seen other examples, where it works, but you must open it a different way -- with a file number.

Dim I as Integer

Currently I'm only able to store the whole content into one variable, would like to store the content line by line in arrays.
I have to create a new program that reads to Text files. These text files are in the form of a report (with column headings). The purpose is to compare each record line by line to see if their have been any changes made. The record is based on an Account#. Over time these files will be considerably large. What is the best way to do compare records from each file. I'm thinking loading each file into an array and processing them that way.

I'm having troubles making a program to search a text file line by line for a specific string.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader("C: est.txt")

as you can see in the code its supposed to read a text file and if the line contains the same string as in the textbox then its gonna make a messagebox.
now the problem, if the line does not contain the specific string but the next or any line other line does, then it should automatically read the next line on "Else" and that's where I'm lost
for a "Readnextline" command or something like that?
I have a list of random numbers in my text file.I read it like this.

Ok, I saw this code on the net

srFileReader = System.IO.File.OpenText(sFileName)

under the code I pasted at the top, but I get the text on line1 in all labels, like all labels become 1, while the text should be 1, 2, 3 and so on. So anyone can help me do that, each label gets the value of the next line in the txt file
the following code was to be entered to read each line of the file "line by line" It did not work for me as instructed and I am trying to understand why?
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
