I have a text file in c: as abc.txt which displays empid=e001, name=john, salary=5000 Now, we need to have a method which wil take empid as parameter and will find the line with the empid and create a text file with that line
e.g if we pass e001 to the method it will write empid=e001, name=john, salary=5000
to a new file with the name e001 So all these files created will be stored in a folder c:epository
I am trying to create an application to make self-extracting Exe's in Visual Studio 2010 Express. I would like to have a box in which files can be dropped into, then when you click "Compile" it will compress all files dropped into the box along with 3 others I must have delivered to this self-extracting exe. When the newly created exe is run, it will launch "Install.exe". I know there are other items out there to build the self-extracting exe's. I would however like to make my own that always delivers these 3 specific files along with whatever is dropped into the application.

I've been having problems extracting the value of a Regex in a String. I have a string with several regex expressions and I need to get the value of each expression's match. The thing is though, it's not returning the last match correctly. For example:
Regex Pattern: I play (S+.*?) and (S+.*?)
String: I play the guitar and the bass The program is returning the value of the first expression as "the guitar" but it's returning the value of the second expression as "the" instead of "the bass".
I have a string that looks like this:
var expression = @"Args("token1") + Args("token2")";
I want to retrieve a collection of strings that are enclosed in Args("") in the expression.
How would I do this in C# or VB.NET?
Does anyone know of a way that you can get the string that is held at this reference point (its the contents of a registry value that corresponds to a string - see this thread for more info [URL]
@%Systemroot%system32wbemwmisvc.dll,-204
I think I've seen C# (or maybe C++) code use lines like this but I cant find any way of getting the value from the DLL in VB.NET
I am trying to test bit 7 (87654321) in the byte DB2 to check if its true. The below code does not seem to be working:
If DB2 And &H40 = &H40 Then Label1.Visible = True
If DB2 And &H40 = &H0 Then Label1.Visible = False
TextBox6.Text = Hex(DB2 and &h40)
I do see the value of DB2 changing from &h00 to &h40 in the textbox, but when evaluating in the two if statements, it never evaluates to true (for testing, the only possible values for DB2 right now are &h00 and &h40)
I have two collections that I am comparing to a thrid collection. Both collections have 147 values in them. I am wondering how I get the results of the comparisons in a text document concatinated to look like this:
Output from Collection A Comparison
Collection B results
Repeat the above two line until all results have been written to the text file. Currently the program runs and the document is not created. Here is the code:
Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder
Dim ordersCount As Integer = &H3E8
Dim i As Integer

I realize this may be a simple request, but I am fairly new to VB so even the simplest tasks are sometimes over my head. Basically, what I need is a function that will take a URL from one of the text boxes on my form, and extract a certain piece of text from that URL. The problem, for me, lies in the fact that the text in question isn't always in the same position, character wise, every time. Basically, the URL looks something like this:
url...randomNumbers rarely seems to be the same amount of characters each time, however the randomNumbersINeed always appear after the second underscore and end right before the third underscore, no matter the amount of randonNumbers that appears before hand.The process I am working on does the following:
1. Takes the raw URL that I have pasted into a text box on the form.
2. Declares that text as a string.
3. Extracts randomNumbersINeed from that string
4. Assigns or declares randomNumbersINeed as a string
5. Appends that string to a .txt file.
I can do steps 1, 2, 4, and 5 with no problem, in fact I've already got those set up in my code ready to go. I just need a function that could extract the numbers from the URL.Could someone help me out here or point me in the right direction?

View 2 RepliesHere is what I did.
1. Went to data source window and clicked "add new data connection"
2. Choose Data Base clicked next
3. Clicked Create Typed UserInformation as the name
4. Next.... Under Data set name I typed UserInformation again
Does naming the database and the data set the same cause problems?
5. Created New Table called users for UserInformation Database.
6. I added the following Columns: FirstName, LastName, Address, and Phone
7. Edited the table to add a couple of people. Tom/Franks/108 blah street/5555555 and Bill/West/109 blah street/5555555.
8. I also reconfigured the data connection in the data source window to show the users table.
I have four labels on my form, a text box, and a button.
I want to be able to search the database by last name for what the user typed into the textbox when they click the button.
I know this is probably easy for all of you but I am still trying to get used to using databases.
I need to convert a VB6 application into VB.Net Windows application. The program pulls data from MS Exchange (UserID, firstname, lastname, etc - not the emails themselves) and places it in a .txt file. The code has been converted, but the program does not work. When the application is run, the .txt file is created, but is blank and I get a pop-up that shows the following, "trying to access email in outlook do you want to allow this?". The popup box is gone in an instant and when I try to click on yes, it does nothing. I always have to end the program as it is non-responsive.
View 14 RepliesIm trying to extract predominately table data from a PDF file, however, I would also like the option to extract image files (such as graphs, etc) as well.Is it possible to extract data from PDF files using a VB.Net application? Im trying to get this process as automated as possible, so Im trying not to use 3rd party applications such as pdf file convertors or in-line pdf readers.
Are there any free, or relatively cheap PDF data capture API's/code snipets that I can use to import data from a PDF file? Another option is to export PDF data/images into an excel spreadsheet. Is there a .Net tool that will allow this?

The method I'm currently using to extract html and the parse is via a WebBrowser control.I'm grabbing a collection of tags, sorting through the ones I want, and then pulling the innertext.Doing this on my development machine is kind of slow, but manageable. At max, I can go through 60 different web pages across 3 different sites. It takes about 5 mins on my machine.
However, this app is targeted towards machine that have a quarter of the technology that my computer has. So, it takes anywhere from 10-15 minutes. This is less than ideal.I've bee reading up on the documentation on HTTPWebRequest. However, form what I've seen I can't seem to find a way to grab the HTML and then parse it with a method from HTTPWebRequest.
Due to the way I'll be using it, I won't be able to use RegEx to parse the data and was hoping there was a method within the HTTPWebRequest property to do it.
I have the following text, it displays like this in a textbox, but is all stored in one string:

But I cant think of a way to do it, the only thing I can think is to try and grab the text on the line after each "+CMGR:"
