Store All The Text Files In The DB?
Oct 13, 2009Some time ago in VB6, I wrote a recipe program that basically stores all the recipes as text files. I was going to rewrite it in .NET and use an Access DB. I figured this would help in searching and other things, ratings, etc. But I'm a little stuck. I don't know if:
a) I can or should store all the text files in the DB
b) convert the text files to some other file format
I can already use GetFiles with a mask to search the filenames, not sure if I need or want full text search. So, should I flush the DB idea or how to move forward? I really don't want to use SQL, but if that's the way to go then...
Store All These Files On The Server As Text Files?
Dec 14, 2010I'm doing a project where we are re-creating a very old system.The client wants the same base functionality and some improvements.One of the things I'm currently working on is the note-system. These are used as flags of some sort, but are also used as a comment field for some products or client profiles.In the old system you could write the text and save it like you would get in a .txt file. They want the new one to be able to do word formatting such as:
Different font sizes (Only some parts of the text)
Different font colours (Only some parts of the text)
Underlining of words
Bolding
Italics
Tab-spaces
Those are the specs they want. What I need to know is the following:
1) How do I do that?
2) Currently they store all these files on the server as text files and the database have paths that refers to each file. I want to be able to save a text file with that formatting to the HDD of the server like in the old system.
3) If possible I would like to save that text to the database with the formatting.

Rich Text Box - Program That Will Read From Various Text Files (preferably RTF Files)
Apr 20, 2009Im designing a program that will read from various text files (preferably RTF files) and then put them into the RTF box in the program when a button is clicked.
Here is the portion of my code that i am referring to.
Try
Dim fileText As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("c:\" & selectedHero & ".rtf")
infoDisplay.AppendText(fileText)
infoDisplay.Rtf.Format()
Catch
MsgBox("Selected Hero currently has no File with us.")
End Try
Now heres the problem. In the file i have a few pictures and its formatted and what not. I thought since its a RTF file and the Box is RTF it would auto format.... but anyways. It appears like this in the RTF Box.
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}}
{\*\generator Msftedit 5.41.15.1507;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs20{\object\objemb{\*\objclass Paint.Picture}\objw3000\objh3000{\*\objdata
[CODE]...
Ok so im not sure how i can read from a RTF file and put it in the RTF box with the right format....Ive been searching around for a while.
VB: Searching For Text Within All PDF Files And Returning Results Of PDF Files Where Text Are Found On
Jun 20, 2011On a image file (PDF), the OCR has recognised the picture and text. However on Visual Basics, how do you search for a text on this image file? The primary goal is to allow a text search (i.e POxxxxx) on all the image files (PDFs). The returns of the search will be the assciated image files where the text (i.e POxxxxx) is found on.

View 7 RepliesApp To Compare Data From Various Text Files
Dec 7, 2010I've been tasked with writing an app that reads in various text files(.csv, .txt) in different formats with different delimiters.I then need to compare certain data in these files and report the differences.There are a couple of columns that are common between the files, but they aren't in the same place, and there is inconsistent and unnecessary header info.There is extra data(columns) in these files that I don't need.Should I parse these files into a datatable? Should I create an object for each file type to format the data and get rid of the unnecessary info?I'm not sure about the best way to tackle this problem.
View 1 RepliesApp To Compare Data In Various Text Files?
Dec 7, 2010I have been tasked with creating an app that will read in various text files(.csv, .txt) and compare some of the data contained within.
I thought I would read in the files and convert them to datatables. Once I had them in a datatable I figured I could remove the unnecessary rows/columns and then sort and compare the pertinent info for differences. The difficulty is that the various files are formatted differently so I will need to get each type formatted correctly. Is this the best approach?
I have read in a .csv, parsed it into a datatable, but I'm having trouble with the logic/coding to get rid of the rows and columns that I don't need. Also, I'm not sure how to handle a row that has a cell with a comma seperated list of values that will need to be split into individual rows.

Can Retrieve VS2005 Sln Files And To Get 'convert' Button To Display Text In 2nd Text Box.
Jan 6, 2011I am building a vb.net application with VS2010. The aim of the application is to change sln. files from VS2005/2008 versions into VS2010.I am using a Form with 2 text boxes and 2 buttons.
