I'm having some problem here. I have a list of files to read and have to append them all to one unique file. the problem is that when i open the first file to read. I read the first line and discard it. when i read the second line, its empty ! but it is not in the original file. what im doing wrong ?

How would i read a set of names out of a file and then append them to a list box?I am not guaranteed a pair will be on the same line, and not guaranteed that a line would contain a maximum of one pair(i.e., it might have three pairs or it might have one and a half pairs - a first name, last name, and another first name whose matching last name would be on the next line). A line may also be blank.All of this needs to be in a visual basic format.

I'm completely new to .NET and am trying as a first step to write a text processing program. The task is simple: I have a list of 10,000 text files stored in one folder, and I'm trying to read each one, store it as a string variable, then run it through a series of functions, then save the final output to another folder. So far I can only manage to manually input the file path like this (in VB.NET):
[Code]...
I'm wondering, therefore, if there's a way to automate this process. Perhaps for example store all input file path into a text file then read each entry at a time, then save the final output into the save path, again listed in a text file.

View 4 RepliesI am new to Vb.net so I will need some handholding. I have been searching everywhere but can't find what I need.I'm creating an app that has two forms.Each form has two comboboxes.The comboboxes are populated via a list and the list is populated by reading a text file for each combobox.The second form is called from the main form to modify the entries in the comboboxes. When I select the displaymember in the combobox a value corresponding to that entry is displayed in the text box.Now here is what I need.
I need to be able to append new values to the list so when focus is returned to the main form the new value is present. I'm using a combobox and a textbox on the second form as the import.The combobox is used to either select a present value to be able to modify the value in the textbox, or is used to add a new list element.

View 9 RepliesI am trying to read every file in a list box. and add it to a checked list box.
View 1 RepliesI am a newbie at VB.net and would like for you to review my code in order to improve its performance.My objective is to append a bunch of ".csv" files into daily data sets. Within a directory I have about 2500 individual text file (.csv). Each file represents minute intraday stock market data for an individual stock covering 5 days or one week of data. This means that each symbol has 1950 string lines..Here is an example of what a string line looks like: "2011-06-27,10:07,48.15,48.15,48.02,48.02,25421". Not that is relevant but these represent Date, time,Open, High, Low, Close & Volume. Since I have 2500 files within a directory; doing some math, I am processing 2500*1950 = 4,875,000 lines. This process takes me about 16 hrs to run.[code]

View 3 RepliesI current have an app that I am trying to create. I have 2 List boxes, a textbox, and a command button.What I am trying to do is take about 100 text files that all have certain text in them that I need to change at run time to whatever I put into the textbox. For instance Each Text file has my old company name and I want to be able enter my new name into the textbox and click the command button and the app will open each text file, find the text that I specify and replace it with my new name then save the file into a specified folder.What elements should I be studying to make this happen? So far this is what I've come up with:
OpenFileDialog - to open the file
StreamReader - to read the text files and find the text that I specified
**Not sure on the replace method**
StreamWriter - to write the text from the textbox to the new file
SaveFileDialog - to save the file to the specified location
I am new to VB.NET 2008 and a few users on this forum have suggested using Generic Lists instead of the old VB6 model of Collections. I need to add to the list of several items to the list, but what is happening it it is changing the first item in the list when I add the second, so there are now of the same item in the list. How do I add unique items to the list? Also, in the collection world, I could define a index of an item by placing the index value into second item of the Add Function.

I have a list of files and all of them have a different size. I need to upload them in chunks of 250Kb (or less if it's a small file or if it's the last chunk of a file).What I would like to do is read a bunch of chunks (lets say 15 chunks), in a separate thread, and then store the chunks of data in some sort of list. This list must be available to other threads.
An upload thread (I don't need help with uploading itself) takes the first chunk from the list and marks the chunk as "currently being uploaded". When the chunk has been fully uploaded, then the chunk is removed from the list. A second upload thread takes the next available chunk in the list that has not been set to "currently being uploaded", etc. There are a total of 10 upload threads working at the same time.
As soon as a chunk is removed from the list, then a new chunk of data is read and added to the list.Does anybody know what kind of list I need or how I should do something like this? I don't expect people to write out the code for me, but I have no idea where to start with this.
I need to download files from internet without using FTP, here's my idea:To check version of the program and also download updates.So firstly, when the user enters the splash screen there is a timer which will check updates (downloadTimer) so then downloadTimer starts to download this txt file http://localhost/version.txt and then when its downloaded (and replaced the old one that was on the computer already) and then after that, read the file. If the version.txt contains version 1.0 then pass the check and splash screen closes, main form opens, else then msgbox ("Please Wait!" & vbcrlf & "Downloading updates") and then download updates with the same way from downloading version.txtOh! and also when the file is downloaded (version.txt) save it to "c:programMyApplicationversion" downloading the file without using FTP (if there isn't any other way i could use FTP).File reading could be made with an IO.FileStream thingy.So how do i do the download part?

I first wanted to identify which files matched in filename and list those in ListBox1, the following that was suggested on this forum worked very well (I added the minus last 19 characters as they would be different).
ListBox1.Items.AddRange(curlist.Where(Function(fi) prelist.Any(Function(fi2) fi.Name.Length - 19 = fi2.Name.Length - 19 AndAlso fi.LastWriteTime = fi2.LastWriteTime AndAlso fi.Length = fi2.Length)).ToArray)Now I need to populate ListBox2 with the files that do not match in each List (of T), again without looking at the last 19 characters. So for example if the first List (of T) had A.txt, B.txt and C.txt and the second List (of T) had A.txt and B.txt then ListBox1 would have A.txt and B.txt while ListBox2 would have C.txt.

View 11 RepliesThese are the directions for the assignment.So far I am able to get the file read and printed onto a list box.The book we have for the class does not clearly talk about using the array of structure method with formatting an imported text file.After that I'm pretty much having a bit of trouble with everything else.I know I can figure most of it out but what I'm having a big amount of trouble with is the array of structures that he wants.I know that when I have the file imported that I need to save it temporarily and go through it and at every ":" put it in an array and save that spot and then keep scanning through the file. I know it is going to be a for loop using the index to count through but I'm not sure if how to start it.This is how the text file that he wants sorted out looks.
