View 7 RepliesHaving difficulty with the module below failing on line 21. It is telling me: The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002) Basically what it is designed to do is look for a directory, if that exists then look for a file in that directory. If both = True then it should open the folder to browse the files. I believe the issue is with the "Program Files" being 2 words since the script runs using a root path, but I'm not sure how to format the path correctly to make it work?

I have a folder that contains .txt, .pdf, etc files.I want to check if the folder contains a .txt file.If yes, I have to perform some action, if no, no action will be performed.I have this sample code to do the above, but with the know .txt file name.

sFileName = "C:/text1.txt" [code]....
In my case, I will not know the exact file name of the .txt file.I need to search for a .txt file.

The following code will save an item to file over and over again, but how do I save an item only once?
Dim w As New IO.StreamWriter("E:est.txt", True)
w.WriteLine(ListBox1.SelectedItem, True)
w.Close()
If, for example, number1 is already saved in the txt file then how do I not save it again, using something like the following?
dim exist As IO.FileAccess ("e:s.txt")
if exist.that.item.is.exist= true then
w.WriteLine(ListBox1.SelectedItem, True)

I have a simple program that opens up a text file and changes it and then what I want to do is save a text file when you click the "convert" button to the directory that the exe exists in e.g. "C:UsersBeaudeanDesktop--Distro--" etc. so say I have a richtextbox with the text in it I want to save and a button called "convert", when I click convert it will save it in the programs root folder with the name "main.html" and I also want it to overwrite any file with the same name.

View 10 RepliesI have a folder that can (hundreds currently) but upwards of 10's of thousands of files. I have a program that gets all file names, and sorts them based upon set criteria and displays them in a treeview. My issue is right now a few hundred files moves fairly quickly when getting files name (path.getfiles), sorting, and returning sorted list for further search and display. My concern is when the number of files starts to increase, alot of these functions will take exponentially longer to perform. Especially my organizing function.
Because my files are part numbers <PartNum><Rev><SubRev><ManuNum>.<extension> I first sort out all different Part numbers first making the list manageable (maximum of a few thousand). Then as you choose a part number to work with, it retrieves all files associated with that part number (maximum of a few hundred).
My concern is everytime I need to look for a file in anyone of those steps, I have to import all file names, search and return correct file path, and Im sure this will become slow as the number of files increase. I dont mind having it do it once then update the list as needed. So I was thinking import and sort all file names at load, and check every so often for and files that might have been modified recently and just update it's entry in the sorted list. But this means my program has to stop, and check all files for changed "modified" time, which too will be slow-ish.
