I am having some trouble including tab and space delimiters in my multiple delimiter code (see code below). It seems I can not just add the <vbtab> and <vbCrLf> codes into my delimiters list so I tried to replace them beforehand with a Clean String Function (also see code below) but it didn't seem to work. Ultimately, I would like to add any delimited text file to my datagridview.
The code below is working fine except for tabs and spaces (including next-to-each-other separators) I am using Visual Basics Express 2008.[code...]
I've been using VisualBasic 2008 Express Edition for a little while now, and I've gotten the hang of a few things like nesting and basics like that. I love learning everything I can about it, and so I'm working on a program that's got some things I'm not so familiar with involved. I'm not sure exactly what it is I'm looking for help with; as I'm sure some of you may know, there are many different ways to accomplish the same task--it's just that we don't always know the simplest solution, unfortunately. So anyhow, I'd like this program to do a couple of things... Firstly, to read in data from a text source and display it accordingly, and also to use that data in a list box and compile a new list from the original one.I've got a rather vague idea on how to do the first objective to put it nicely.I've read a little about delimiters and such, but the problem is that everywhere I look for tutorials or examples, I'm not really seeing exactly what it is I'm trying to do.Here's an example of the text I'm trying to parse/read/whatever it is:|Name of thing|some data|blah|blah blah|
In this example, I use the vertical bar character (I don't know what it's called; it's Shift + for me) to separate data in a pre-defined order. Let's say I wanted to use this for car information, I guess.[code]Like that, only many more times. What I can't figure out though, is A.) how to make VB read every line within the text file and B.) how to differentiate each of those sets of data so that I can read them into labels on the form. At this point, all I do know is that that vertical bar (this thing) is what's called the delimiter. Other than that, I'm left to pulling my hair out.
I just can't think of an easy way to do this. It seems easy, but I'm not just sure how to do this. I want the software to grab a random word inside the bracket "{}". The "|" is the delimiter. Here are some examples...
Input #1: {Hey|Hay|Hello} How {are|r} {you|u} doing? Output Example #1: Hey How r you doing? If I execute the code again, this would output...
I'm currently busy coding a hangman game in VB.NET.As a wordlist, I have a textfile containing 1520 words, each one seperated by a new line. The best I could think of to get a random word is with a Randomize() function. Then getting the word from the line # which was randomly generated.
[Code]...
Is there any better way for me to extract the word from that random line? If not, what would be the delimiter I should use for this and how do I quickly change the breaklines into that new delimiter without resorting to Office?
Also, how can I use the textfieldparser to get the file from resources? When I tried using my.resources.filename instead of "filepath", it gave me an ArgumentException due to "invalid characters in the path".
I have a csv file which I am populating to a datagridview. I am delimiting it using "," and "space". My csv file has "," at first instance and "space" in next two instances. I want to delimit the first instance using "," and the second instance using "space" and the third instance though has "space" I wanna ignore that space.
My CSV file :
HTML jarnvagstag,Mantel,Mantel1,Mantel2 100tag,01/01/1750 11:45:32 PM 200tag,01/02/1750 12:57:57 AM
I have ran into an issue where I need to save some Excel data to a semicolon delimited file. (Why is an issue unto itself) And I can not find a way to do this using VB. In excel I can use Import Semicolon delimited files but I can not find a way to save them. Is there a VB constant or method I can use to save semicolon delimited files without having to write my own save procedure to format the data? such as the xlCSV, xlDIF, xlTextMSDos formats. I would think that since it can import this format that it should be able to save it.
I save data from datagridview to text file. I also load the same data from text file into datagridview for edit and update the same thing to text file. Let say this text file i called as Drill.txt. I have another text file called header.txt which need to match its value with the value of Drill.txt file then overwrite value from Drill.txt to header.txt. Now i want to make my Drill.txt in encrypted format to prevent anyone to open that file and modify out of program. They only can modify it through the program
I am having trouble figuring out how to parse a string with delimiters. I have a text box which the user inputs data or what ever. I need to figure out how to parse the string and display it in a listbox, each word in a single line. Here is what I have so far, my book doesnt explain parsing very well and I'm stuck
I have a csv file from which i am getting the data into a table. Example: "ABC",1,"Apple" The requirement is that the strings will be inside the quotas " " and integer will be without quotes. The above line will split into three columns. i am using stream reader class to split the line into columns using line.split(','). It was working fine unfortunately i got a record in a file where there is a comma in between the string quotes like these "ABC,DEF,ghi",2,"Orange". So instead of 3 columns now they are acting as five columns and all the conversion are failing. writing the script in C# which will replace the comma between the quotas into semicolon and don't touch the comma in between the columns.
I have written a VBA (Excel macro) to open a workbook, and save it as a semicolon .CSV file, and then close it self. Excel on the server at work has a nasty tendency to start in safe mode (or at least ask if it should start in safe mode), making my Open-And-Shut macro fail. Now I've rewritten the program into VB.NET code (vs2008), but it creates a true .CSV (comma separated value), and I need semicolon. The excel file contains "last name, first name" making comma separation useless. Also making it impossible to substitute "," with ";" [Code]
I use the following code to add a record but get the error:"Missing semicolon ( at end of SQL statement. " I removed the semicolon, placed it before the SELECT but it seems to continuously cause problems.

Just what the title says. I have a listbox with varied entries, all in one format:name, email, phone, age
When an entry is selected, and when a certain button is clicked, I require the entry to be removed from the listbox and the four categories from the entry must each go into their assigned textboxes.
Is it possible to use a datagridview with a text file? I'm guessing I can't just link it directly like I can with a SQL or access DB. But it has the option to manually add column headings so I'm guessing there may be some way of filling it in manually - like an array or something...?
What I am trying to do is allow the user to enter a list of authors in a textbox separated by semi colons. After each author is entered, followed by a semicolon, I would like the autocomplete to work on the next name and so on (e.g., Smith, John; Eastwood, Clint...). I can get the autocomplete to work in a textbox with one name, but cannot seem to figure out how to get it to work on a list of names in a text box.
I'm trying to make the autocomplete work on a list of items entered into a textbox separated by semicolons. I have a list of authors the user can choose from and it autocompletes as they type the name no problem, but what I'd like to do is after the user types a name followed by a semicolon, the autocomplete works on the next name and so on.e.g., Smith, John; Eastwood, Clint?
I have to create a textbox which will list down one column of datas from textfile which is separate by delimiters.But as I have to filter alt.Row from the text file, what can i do?
I save data from datagridview to text file . I also load the same data from text file into datagridview for edit and update the same thing to text file. Let say this text file i called as Drill.txt. I have another text file called header.txt which need to match its value with the value of Drill.txt file then overwrite value from Drill.txt to header.txt. Now i want to make my Drill.txt in encrypted format to prevent anyone to open that file and modify out of program. They only can modify it through the program How can we do like this?
So i want to display this data in datagried view. I must display the number beside T to T column, the number beside C to C column and so on. It should only display number in the respective column. It should not display the T,C and so on.
I have the option to save the contents of the listview that was saved into text file.now i would like to load the text file into datagridview in vb.net but i have no idea how to do it as this is my first time in doing it and i had googled around but couldn't find the information i needed.
