Comma Separated Data File, Saved As A Text File?
May 30, 2011
I decided on a comma separated data file, saved as a text file. This is for data that will not change. After loading the data from the text file; then throughout the lifetime of the program the data can change. The data can then be saved back to a different binary file. The idea is to have a save state system going.Does anyone have a suggestion or is opposed to the idea. Is there a simpler way to organize something like this?

i have code for loading a text file (comma separated) into my DGV:
If Not DataGridView1.LoadTextFile(TextBox1.Text, ErrorList) Then
Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder
sb.AppendLine("Failed to load text file, see error messages below.")
[Code]....
I'm wondering...is it possible to run this code if the user was to drag and drop the text file onto the datagridview, rather than having to navigate via buttons etc...it'd make it a much nicer method!

I'm brand new to visual basic and I've been given an exercise to extract data from a text file. I can get the lines of data to read in and can get the names out using the following code. How can I extract the department i.e. sales and finance also using the mid and instr functions? I also need to be able to list list the people by department using a dropdown combo box.

This is my first 'serious' VB2008 project. Attempting to write a comma separated file. vis:
[Code]...
Is there a better method for outputing the data, rather than having to concatinate all the elements into a string and then writing it? In the 'good old VB6' days a Print statement followed by each value and a separator would do the trick. I can't seem to find the appropriate override for the WriteLine method.

I'm attempting to add comma delimited values to a combobox. The problem is I do not know if this is the best way to split the values into the combobox. Is there a more cleaner/efficient way to do this?:
Dim toread As String
toread = ini.ReadValue("Schools", "Schools")
Dim textdelimiter As String
textdelimiter = ","
Dim splitout = Split(toread, textdelimiter)
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To UBound(splitout)
ComboBox1.Items.Add(splitout(i))
Next

When I look at a file on my hard disk, e.g. test.csv, when I look at the Properties of the file, it is officially known as, "Microsoft Office Excel Comma Separated Values File", and file types of .pdf are listed as "Adobe Acrobat Document", etc. etc. All of this information can be seen in Windows Explorer too when my folders are displayed by Details. How do you get at this "type of file" information with .NET?

I'm trying to read a csv file with comma separated. Problem is inside the file, it has one column which original value already contains Comma. Here is the example
[Code]....
So, when I Split the string with Comma, it gave me problem. Actually total it has 6 columns. But because of internal comma, it gave me 7 columns. And this CSV format can't change so I must deal with this problem. And so here I come out with a solution (because of its too long, I looking for better idea and solutions from you guys ):

I want to load a csv file (A comma delimited text file) into a datatable. I found the OdbcDataAdapter Class which looks perfect, but it says it is supported only in version 1.1 of the .NET Framework.
Is there a better way to import a csv file into a datatable? the first line has the column headers.
I am using Visual Studio 2008, using version 3.5 of the .NET framework

I'm new to Comma Delimited values. What I'm trying to do is load up a text file which has employee info separated with commas
like 1/1/09, John Smith, (555) 555-5555, 101 S 1st Street and has numerous rows of info like this
so what I want it to do is just write this info to 4 different textboxes
like txtdate would just have all the dates of employees listed in rows or multilines
then another text box for names and so on.. Right now I just have it all being written to one text box.
I'm not sure how to separate all the information accordingly.

what would be the easiest way to open a comma delimited text file - each field is surrounded by quotes - and then analyze this file to find the record with the most fields being used? right now i bring the file into and access db then loop through each record to see if there is any data.

I have my datagridview being loaded from a Text File and then being saved to a text file as a comma separated file - the commas obviously separate the columns. However in some of the cells prior to saving, I have data that i have inputted over two lines by pressing shift + return.
E.g.
"SOLD
10/05/2012"
This saves fine, but obviously shows up in the text file as a line break, which then causes some issues when I choose to re open the info back into DGV. How I can code so that it saves as a line break within a cell, rather than a completely new line.

I want to add the contents of a comma delimited text file(PracInfo.txt) into a Dictionary on Form_Load. The contents of the file are as follows:
wlvc,coadmin
mrmd,thadmin
ccoa,oaadmin
bfhl,bfadmin
trty,tradmin
nppp,npadmin
For example, I want the wlvc to be the key and the coadmin to be the corresponding value. The code I have so far goes as follows:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim sr As New StreamReader("C:Programming filesPracInfo.txt")
Dim openWith As New Dictionary(Of String, String)
Do While sr.Peek <> -1
strHold = sr.ReadLine()
' here I would like to use the String.Split method on strHold and then put that into the Dictionary using Dictionary.Add(Key,Value) but not sure how to do this????
Loop
End Sub
End Class

I currently save the data the user input into the textboxes like:
[SAVEACCOUNTDATA]ACCOUNT[/SAVEACCOUNTDATA]
[ACCOUNT0]Graham[/ACCOUNT0]
[ACCOUNT1]McCann[/ACCOUNT1]
[ACCOUNT2]graham23s@*********[/ACCOUNT2]
[ACCOUNT3]graham23s[/ACCOUNT3]
[ACCOUNT4]********[/ACCOUNT4]
when reading it back into the textboxes i was needing to chop off the surrounding parameters:
[]Just need this data[/]
Is there a way to just grab the data in between the brackets like an explode function of sorts?

I used a built in function to create comma separated string using List easily.(It is not split and join but new function) I'm not able to recollect or find it. If some one knows about it and uses it please post a link to that. Framework - .net 2.0
(It is not Join or split - I know about this, .net has new built in function to create CSV format)
Check Jacob G Answer below for what i was looking for let me know your thoughts on it compared to join ;)
And whoever gave me -ve rep need to keep some patience and not hurry
