VS 2008 Scan A Long String And Return Any Values That Occur Between The Tags <FileName> And </FileName>?
Jul 1, 2009Quick query...I'm trying to scan a long string and return any values that occur between the tags <FileName> and </FileName> I've got a bit of code here to use regular expressions to return the position of the occurunces of both substrings..Just wanted to find out if there is any way to scan for both substrings within one loop (as im currently doing 2, one for the first substring and one for the 2nd) so I can use something along these lines:
ringlist = Mid(XMLRESP, (startloc + 1), (endloc - 1))
MsgBox(ringlist)
to msg box the value between the substrings...either that or another approach to return the value between the 2 substrings (it can be of variable length)
Dim patternstart As String = "<FileName>"
Dim patternend As String = "</FileName>"
Dim matchesstart As MatchCollection = Regex.Matches(XMLRESP, patternstart)

Remove The Filename And Extract Just The Path Of The OpenFileDialog.Filename Property?
Oct 17, 2010How would I do that? Sample code is below that demonstrated that the file I opened contained the full path and file name.
I want to extract just the path and serialize that to the user.config file as a UserSetting value. Then next time the user opens the dialog box, it uses that saved path string to go immediately to the location previously used.
If openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
Properties.Settings.Default.persistConnectionType = openFileDialog1.FileName
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();

Get The FileName For The Proces.Start(FileName) Method?
May 27, 2009I have a Listview on my form with different files. I can selet a file en open it with the proces start method. To open the file i use the OpenFileDialog method and select the filename. This work very good. With the code below.
My question is if there is a method to get the selected file without using the OpenFileDialog Box. So when i dubbelclick the selected file the proces will start with open the selected file. Something like:
proc.StartInfo.FileName = Me.SelectedCell.FileName
instead of proc.StartInfo.FileName = Me.OpenFileDialog1.FileName
PS) May be i can preduce the Filename using the OpenFileDialog method on the background.
Private Sub ListView1_MouseDoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles ListView1.MouseDoubleClick
If Me.OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then

Use A # In A Filename?
Aug 14, 2010I often use things like the crosshatch in filenames to group them together. Until recently this has not been a problem.
I am working modifing a WPF app which uses a Listbox to store images. I need the full path of the image to feed to a class to retrieve metadata.
The test image is named "# Canon-ixus.jpg".
Using Listbox.SelectedValue to return the filename I get "%23 Canon-ixus.jpg". There are not a whole lot of options to returning the name of the selected item from the Listbox.
Is there any simple way to get the name back to its original form?

How To Get Filename Faster
Mar 29, 2010I have a directory with more then 350.000 files in. I need to process every single file and move them to an other folder. When I use the dir() method it takes a few seconds before if it returns the first file found.
dim foundfile as string = dir("d:")
In the documentation there is this:
"The My.Computer.FileSystem Object gives you greater productivity and performance in file I/O operations than the Dir function. See My.Computer.FileSystem.GetDirectoryInfo Method for more information."
But I can't find any method that is faster then dir, and gives the same result. I can't use this method below because it takes for ever to load......
For Each foundFile As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles("D:")
Next
It just does not work fast...
When I use the Dir() method it takes like 5 sec, and it uses 100% cpu... it is just not a option. How do I get the same function as the dir method but better performance? (I use visual basic 2008).

Match PDFs By Filename?
Apr 14, 2010I've got relatively little experience with VB but I've been asked by my employer to try to write a program to automate a billing process. We print PDFs for some of our clients, and we do two copies. One copy goes to the account holder, and one goes to the company that funds the account. So we have a directory structure that looks something like this:
Copies that went to the account holders:
FolderA1234.pdf
FolderB987.pdf
FolderB6767.pdf
[Code]...
As you can see, the file names are the same. But items in FolderA are billed differently than items in FolderB. So the ideal program would be able to go through FolderA and FolderB, collect the filenames, and then go through SubfolderA and SubSubFolderA and report back that, "1 file matched a filename in FolderA. 2 files matched filenames in FolderB". I have no idea where I would beging to write such a program but is this something that is plausible?
My manager says he can probably do something like this in an hour manually so if it would take longer than that to code it's probably not worth it. I'd really like to be able to show some skill and do this, though (I've only been here a few months and this would be a good opportunity to provide some added value).

Filename is a Stringbuilder in both cases and is holding the same string which is pointing to a valid picture.
Regular Expression With Filename?
Feb 1, 2012I have a string (can be anything) and somewhere in the middle of the string there's a filename with the extension 'txt'. The filename can basically be anything, and any filename is correct, but with a certain exception.

Every other <number> is incorrect.
