How can I find variables in a string of text and display them.
For instance usually I could use the * or ? characters (in ol' batch files) to mark variable character positions.
For example, I am looking for a string "Happy" & ???? & "Birthday" in a file looking for 4 characters between happy and birthday. Is there a simple way to find these characters utilizing a variable or is there a different way to do it? Would I have to declare?? as 4 specific character spaces that need to be displayed?
I have a connection string in my database which I read throughout my VB .Net application. I have another string which is NOT a connection string though. It instead has information about a domain on LDAP. So LDAP string just needs to be stored in the web.config as a string, and also to be retrieved as a string.

I am creating a free game.
I have a huge .txt file which contains X & Y data seperated by serialization. Each serialization contains 1K x and y data points, the text file is about lines 1,340,000 long. Sometimes I need to go into the .txt file and find certain sets of data so I can plot and overlay them which gets tedious. I am going to write an application that I can just write the serialization into a text box on a form and and it will seach all of the txt files for the right data, put them into arrays, and then load them up into excel. My question is how would I search the .txt file for the correct serialization? Would I first read it into an array and then try and split it that way, or is there a way to just open the .txt file and search for the serialization without putting it into an array first?
View 3 RepliesI am a newbie programmer. I have some code that needs to open a file based on what is contained in a variable. Example: If File.Exists(w) Then Dim q() As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines(w)

IO.File.ReadAllLines(w & ".txt") but that doesnt work.

I'm developing a program to tweak the settings of the Thief: Deadly Shadows video game.The tweaker program is designed to load and configuration profiles so the ttlg/T3Ed Guild community can share tweaks with each other and then apply those setting to the game's ini files. A little more info here: [ame=http:ur]UNDER DEVELOPMENT - Thief 3 Gold Tweaker -l.... TTLG Forums[/ame] & here are a list of tweaks the tweaker program will apply to the game: [ame=http:[url].....
Anyway, I managed to load and save the config profiles but I'm stuck on applying those settings to the game's .ini files. The main problem is finding the right string. Thief: Deadly Shadows .ini file has settings for xbox & PC. I only want to change the PC settings in DEFAULT.INI:
[XboxStartup]
ShowIntroMovies=True
ForceCopyFromHardDrive=False
ShortIntroMovies=d:content 3VideoTextureseidos-logo.bik; . . . etc.
GameStartFiles=d:MediaFont12.xpr, . . . etc.[code]....
I want to change "ShowIntroMovies=False" under the "[PCStartup]" section when the user clicks "Apply Changes" on the main form.One way I could go about this is to look for "[PCStartup]" hold the line number it's on, then look for the "ShowIntroMovies" string under that line number. There are several instances in the game's .ini files where the same setting exists but they exists under different sections. So how would I find a specific occurrence of a string?

I have to find a string in a huge text file ( ~ 50MB) and then replace it.Since it's quite huge I tend to open the file and then read line by line, and then replace the necessary line(s) (rather than "readall" the file of course).My question is how to replace the whole line?Let's say I found the line that should be replaced . I know I can create a copy file and copy all lines into there ... but I'd prefer to replace the line in the original file rather than creating a copy instance.

so here instead of directly using > and +, Can I use the variables OP1 and OP2 somehow. May be I can put the entire string from "If..... NUM1" in another variable as text string and then execute that variable.
