Count Lines Of A Text File (NOT EVERY LINE) Situated On A Server
Feb 9, 2011
I have a text file on a web server. Every line of the text file ends with "g]" or with "a]".I would like to count the lines that end with "g]" and the lines that end with "a]".Before I hade two seperate files and I used the following code for counting.But now I decided to put everthing into a single file:[code]
I have a text file on a web server. Every line of the text file ends with "g]" or with "a]".I would like to count the lines that end with "g]" and the lines that end with "a]".How can I do that?Before I hade two seperate files and I used the following code for counting.But now I decided to put everthing into a single file:
Dim client1 As New System.Net.WebClient Dim file1 As String = client.DownloadString("URL/file1") 'lines ending with "g]" Dim lines1 As String() = file1.Split(Environment.NewLine)
How would I count the lines of a text file situated on a server?
I know that if the file is on my pc I just do this:
Dim lines As String() = IO.File.ReadAllLines("C:mytextfile.txt") msgbox("The text file has " & lines.Length & " lines.") But what about if the file is on a server such as "http://www.mywebsite.com/mytextfile.txt"?
If try to download the file in memory and read it, it works fine:
Below is what I've been using. While it does work, my program locks up when trying to count a rather large file, say 10,000 or more lines. Smaller files run in no time. Is there a better or should I say faster way to count the lines in a text file?
Can anyone think how to read how many lines will be written to a txt file via streamwriter?I know i can do a count and increment on each writeline but maybe someone knows how to countlines from streamwriter?
Basically, every time an entry is made - all of the proper data gets put out to a central Listings.txt file and then a specific .txt file for that area. When the user enters the recall form, they can view the listings for all or whichever area they've selected. That works quite fine. However! We also need to include a summary of how many are in each section. Not thinking properly, I started to do this with a counter - until I realized that a counter will lose its value once the program shuts down. My current idea is to count the number of lines in the text file (it outputs 8 lines per listing, so everything would be in values of 8) and then divide that by 8 - but after some searching I haven't been able to find a piece of code that will allow me to get an integer that relates to the amount of individual lines in the file.
I have a text file that has similar lines..; i want to count those similar lines and write it as 1 line with a new fieldname Quantity indicating the number of similar lines... the similarity of the lines can be found using the fieldnames Name,DNF,REP_DNF and REP_ASM.
i want to delete few lines from a big text file , normally this lines are at the starting of the text file , so it is possible that i can enter the line no from input box and the vb.net can delete that particular line number from the text file ,
I have an SQL database, and 50 text files, and Visual Basic 2010 Premimum,I need to find a specific line of text in the text files and then take the next 37 lines of text and save them in my database. I need advice as to point me in the right direction
how to count the lines in textbox1.text (with multiplelines). I don't need to count each character. I only need to count each line from top to bottom in textbox1.text (multiplelines) and I will use Label1 to display the numbers.
How to count number of text line until certain condition using vb 2008? Here is the code to count the number of line until the end of the text file. But I want to count until certain line of the text file.
I have written a simple script to get a bunch of lines from a text file (they will be filenames eventually) which are split by new lines and puts each one into an array..
Dim ary() As String Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists("C:MenuFiles.txt") Then
[code]....
The only thing I can do for now is either use the substring function to remove the first character from all array values after 0 but I don't like that because it's messy and what if the split "works" as I want it to one one of the lines and knocks of the first character when I don't want it to.
I have a text file containing lines of data (File 1). I need to delete all the lines in another text file (File 2), which are found in file 1.So I could read file 2 line by line. And then once the line has been read, read file 1 line by line to search for a match. But that's going to be painfully slow.Or I could read file 2 into memory. And then read file 1 line by line and REPLACE the lines in file 2 with nothing, therefore deleting them. File 2 could be 100 mb, so I'm not sure about reading it all into memory.
I have a line of data that represent a data import. When the import is done, I would like to keep that exsisiting line, and add another line for the next import. So I have a display of mulitiple lines, showing multiple Imports.So this is one I have for the first section, it loops through the data so you see the rows incrementing
Now, I can I keep the line of data, and add a new line so for the next import, it does the same thing. It ried vbnewline, but it just clears that line, it doesn't move down to a next line.
Here is the current code I am using to add files and check the number of lines in each file that was selected (file qty). This is also added into a seperate listbox for viewing.
Dim selectedItems = (From i In ListBox2.Items).ToArray() For Each selectedItem In selectedItems ListBox1.Items.Add(selectedItem)
I've been looking through the FCL for a method that will allow me to erase a line of text from a text file and replace it with another line of text. Neither the StreamReader nor StreamWriter have a method for replacing or removing Text from a text file, as does the string object. Are there any available methods for erasing just certain lines of text from a file, and then replacing them with others?
In my code, I'd like to locate a certain line in the text file, and then at that point in the text file, use a For...Next Loop to replace each successive line of the text file with new text:
Dim user_data_file As String = "user_data.txt" edit_input = New StreamReader(user_data_file) Dim edit_line As String = edit_input.ReadLine
[CODE]...
However, I can't find any methods that will allow me to do this.
[code]The two Location lines throw errors but the Text line works fine. I've played around with this until I'm blue in the face but can't get it to compile.
Basically what I'm trying to do is read a text file line by line. After each line is read, it will put each line into a separate text box. I've been trying to do this for a while and so far I haven't been able to. I tried using a for loop, but that just put all my lines in to one textbox.
I'm reading a text file with StreamReader, line by line. If a condition is met, then I do an operation and then start reading the file again from the first line. I realize I could close and then re-open the file, but surely this would be very slow.
I could do this easily in VB6, but pulling my hair out trying to do this in vB.net. It seems that 'Seek' is the function to use, but it doesn't work.
I've seen other examples, where it works, but you must open it a different way -- with a file number.
Imports System.IO Dim I as Integer Dim LineText as String
i have 5 textboxes in a form. I have a streamwriter that writes all of their text to on text file like this:
Code: Dim xfile As String = Application.StartupPath & "/Set.txt" If File.Exists(xfile) = True Then Dim writex As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(xfile)

I was wondering how to get the text under the each number and place it in the corresponding textbox.
The following code selects a line ina richtextbox. It works OK expect from one problem:
When a line is biger than the size of the richtextbox, it wraps it. This create a big problem as I can not select the last line of the richtextbox (when a line is wrapped it becomes two lines). When I set wordwrap to off it works just fine
