Convert ASCII Txt File To XML Within .NET, C# Or Javascript?
Aug 16, 2011
I'm not exactly sure if this is the correct question to be asked but I will tell you what I am attempting. I have an ASCII txt file with product data in it. It does not have headers. I am looking for a way to convert this data into an XML file, however, I want it to parse through one of the txt fields to incorporate a look-up field and modify the data based on that field. Now I could use VB.NET, C# or Javascript. Example provided:
This has been driving me crazy for two weeks! I just started learning Vb.net, so please forgive me if I make rookie mistakes. Basically, I would like to convert any type of file to Ascii code. An mp3, .wav, .avi etc. The most I was able to do is convert only the first character of the file to Ascii. Also, I'm not sure what would be the fastest method to do this. SteamReader, FileStream, or BinaryReader. Can anyone explain what method would be best? This is what I have so far:
I'm testing a "simple" login program: it has predetermined ID and Password, after input is correct then you can change the ID and Password. It saves a Non-Encrypted file that has the new ID and Password. Then after the program loads (when it is opened again) it reads the file to retreive the ID and Password, but when it reads, it reads it in 32-bit code, I need it in Ascii (with alphabetical representation) so that I can compare it to the input.I also get an error stating the length cannot be a negative (right after my comment).
Here is my code:
Imports System Imports System.IO Imports System.Text
I have a string of ASCII in HEX. ( 5A65726f)so first i split them into 2s >>>> 5A 65 72 6f then i change the hex to integer using these integer i convert them to char using chr() it did the job great, i can see the correct word i want..but it give me an error saying " make sure it has the right format" ( error shown below)
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click Dim hexnum As String Dim converttohex As String Dim hextonum As Integer
[code]....
i thought it was the for loop problem...since i will go up to 7 while len(hexnum) is 8 so it would loop again but there is nothing after 8th HEX?so i tried For i = 1 To Len(hexnum)-1 Step 2 ...this time...textbox didnt show anything...+ the same error came up...
How to convert byte array to ASCII in VB.NET System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.Getstring(y) it gives the data like 52414D41 . but i need "RAMA" instead of 52414D41.
I realize this might be a redundant post, but I can't seem to find (through all the searches) the code to do what I need to do...or it's just not working for me.
I have an Intel hex file (containing ASCII characters) such as :041400000262F5226D
I need to convert the values to hex numbers into memory (an array), such as
[code...]
I'm not sure of the proper combination of conversions I need to get this accomplished. I've tried several combinations of Val/Asc/ etc. but can't get it correct.
how to convert ascii to hexa using vb? for example...hexa 13 = ascii 31(1) 33(3)now i have it in ascii but i need to combine and convert this into 13 instead of 31 33.i need to create a function to do this in a class library den after dat call it from the app source code?
I'm trying to convert an ASCII String to hex for VB 2008. So far I have this :
Code: Function asc2hex(ByVal StrName As String) As String Dim loopCount As Integer, strHold As String For loopCount = 1 To Len(StrName) strHold = strHold & Hex(Asc(Mid(StrName, loopCount, 1))) Next loopCount asc2hex = MsgBox(strHold) End Function
However, It is not reporting all the bytes that it should be. For example: This is the correct format.
Id like to create a simple program consisting two textboxes and a button, "whats the point i hear you ask?" simple, id like to be able to enter in a string into the first textbox, press the button and then have it converted into binary and displayed into the second textbox.
I need some thought input on how I can take my string of HEX values and convert them to ASCII according to the specifications below: A function would be ideal since I need to quickly decode about 250 records all having 20 thresholds to record.[code]
I have lines of text that contain "degree symbols" (ASCII(248)). I want to replace those symbols with an alphabet character (Z).I am changing the line of text into a charArray,iterating through one character at a time. How do I define the ASCII(248) in code to replace each occurence with a Z? Something like string.Replace(ASCII(248), "Z") would be nice, but that doesn't seem to work too well.
as part of a small encryption program i am making, i am converting the contents of a textbox to hashcode. I used the built in feature for this:.GetHashCode Now once i have the hash code how do i convert it back to regular letters?
I'm an undergraduate student from Singapore University, would like to enquire you on how to convert character codes to ASCII codes using visual basic. regarding the codes on how to build it as I need it for my semestral project
Would it be possible to convert strings to ASCII and subtract a number from each at the source, then add a number at the receiving end? I am sending messages on a LAN network (hopefully) and I know the packets may be monitored so I want to make sure they at least can't be read just by opening the data, something simple will do.
How to correctly convert string containing upper ASCII characters to byte array besides looping through each character and filling the array using AscW(chr)?I know I can do something like:
Code: Dim bSourceData As Byte() = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.GetBytes(sourcedata)
But this only works for lower ascii characters (0-127).Instead of ASCIIEncoding I can specify encoding myself (System.Text.Encoding.Getencoding(encoding).GetBytes(sourcedata)). But I have to specify correct encoding in this case, otherwise most of special characters are converted to "?". What should I do if I don't know the encoding?
to a readable format. I understand that this can be easily accomplished by writing in the ascii code into the code will do it but I am trying to create a more interactive method of doing it so I can copy and paste a long length of code into a textbox and have it update a label with the conversion.
I am using Microsoft.VisualBasic.Fileio.TextFieldParser to parse a CSV file that was created with Excel 2003. The parser is working great with the exception that it is converting extended ascii values to question marks! So if the file content was:
± 3 The TextFieldParser is returning ? 3
I have tried all of the encodings in the System.Text.Encoding package with no luck. I thought I had it with UTF7 but it was dropping other characters like replacing the + sign with a space.
I'm working on decoding a NMEA sentence that is a compressed 8-bit string. I'm having a very hard time of wrapping my head around the bit manipulation needed to convert this string. If someone could get me started with this it would be great.
