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.
Private Sub btnProcess_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnProcess.Click

The INPUT line needs to be fixed. From what I can see, I need to move it all to a single field and use a split to parse it, correct? As I look at the entries on this site, all the code seems to use stream readers. Why would the book not do that? Am I missing something?
Just starting up on VB 2008 Express (.NET). Trying to write to and read from a file. It runs without errors, but the messagebox only shows the 'OK' button, not the contents of the file as I want. I thought that maybe I have to rewind the file before reading, but AFAICS there is no 'StreamRead.Rewind' or Reset or something.

I used WriteAllText to set the encoding for a text file. When I wrote it, everything worked out fine. However, strange characters or symbols appeared in some ofm y fields without my having typed it. why is this so? The encoding I'm using is UTF8. I used the WriteAllText to write the fields to file but did not use the ReadAllText to bring the data back into the fields or program.
View 2 RepliesI'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.

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?
