Make An Application That Searches A Certain Website For A Specific String?
Nov 1, 2009
I was wondering how I could make an application that searches a certain website for a specific string. Or, if I could, list the search results in a listbox. Reason for: I wan't to make an application that searches serial websites for certain serials. Like 'Craagle'.
i'm trying to make a program that searches for a specific file in a specific file, so when the program loads it "writes" in checked list box the names of the drives installed to the computer, but what i want to do is: when the user checks the box, i want it to search for the file in that drive, but i don't know how to do it...
I'm using:
Imports System.IO Imports System.Collections.ObjectModel Public Class Form1
[Code].....
how to make it search in the other drives using the checked listbox?
I have search system that works like charm: 1> Searches specific folder for text files which contain specific word 2> Puts those text file names and/or paths to listbox However i want it to put (instead of InputStr) the specific line where word is found in text file to listbox.
I am creating a class that searches a binary file for a specific customer number. I am using a binary search that keeps on slicing the file in half until I find the customer number while is sorted. Once it finds it I am positioning it at the first instance of that Customer number as there can be multiple records with the same Cus Number.
Now here is my question. I now need to loop through this Customers records and do some data base searches. Since I want to make my class as generic as possible what should I pass back to the calling class? An Array with all their records. If I do this I have to loop twice, once in the class and once when it passes the array bac to the original calling class?
I am trying to write a small application that simply monitors my web site watching for specific hyperlink text to appear. I have been searching around and trying different approaches for a few days and have to accept defeat on this.Basically I need to be able to type in part of a hyperlink or the actual text of the hyperlink into a textbox to be watched for. When it is seen it opens the link in a new window.
Dim theElementCollection As HtmlElementCollection theElementCollection = WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("a") For Each curElement As HtmlElement In theElementCollection
im creating an array that contains something like this [code]Then i need to make it so when i click on a listview item it searches for the same "Application" name and shows the path.I have everything planned out, but im not sure what i should use to do this.Should i use list(Of string), arraylist or just string(,)?I have no idea of the amount of elements it will contain. I was thinking of using a list so i can use .find without having to make a search function.Anyways, what would be the best/fastest way to do this? Its possible i might have up to 1000 rows in this array, so i want something fastish.
I have a windows form which to summarize lets the user open a file containing 32 bit hashes, then search for one of them. The hash is then converted to its string representation. The application is giving the results I would expect but I'd like to make it execute faster than it does now; some files can be pretty big > 100 MB.
I'm doing the file read using a BackgroundWorker object to display progress updates and ensure that the UI is available during the process. But for that i need to add a System.Threading.Sleep(1) instruction in the loop; otherwise the application freezes with big files. And System.Threading.Sleep(1) creates a noticeable lag. Any suggestions on how to make searches fast without freezing the UI? Getting speeds comparable to hex editor programs for example.
what I want to do is get the text from a specific textbox from a website then copy it and paste it into an textbox(into my.exe) .
*With those code i get alway and error that clipboard is not supported ! *
my codes :
Private Sub Timer2_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer2.Tick WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://10minutemail.com/10MinuteMail/index.html")
I'm tryign to read a specific attribute from a xml website using this code:
'this is the url im trying to read, tmpIn is a string that complete the url: Dim url As String = "http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=" & tmpIn & "&output=xml" Dim reader As New XmlTextReader(url)
[Code]....
The problem is tmpIn takes diferents values (string) when the function is used and sometimes this works, and othertimes it gives an error (Invalid character in the given encoding. Line 9, position 15.), but is not because of the url, is when it tries to read the coordinates...
Not sure if this is possible at all. I was hoping somebody could help point me in the right direction. Right now im not quite sure what to search for or what this would be called. Basicly I was wondering if it is possible to design a application in vb.net 2008 that could search a website for specific information.
Is there a way to write a program to go to a specific website, enter some things injto textboxes, and then click a button? I want to use this to log into some of my accounts for other sites once a month, Instead of entering the username and password manually.
I have a web application (built as a product) that contains an XSL stylesheet that I'd like to use in a console application I've written in VB.Net in support of that web application. Is there a way to automatically determine the physical path to where the web application is installed? I know that the IIS Metabase holds this information, I just don't know how to access it.
What I have is the path to the web site. For example: [URL]. I'd like to look up in the IIS Metabase (on a specific server) to find the physical path (For example: c:inetpubwwwrootmyapplicationfolder) Is this possible from a console application running on either that server or even another server? (assume the account running the process has full admin rights).
I am trying to make an application which will list all processes in a string when it starts. After it has listed them all I enable my timer, and in the timer there gets checked if the process is in the process list (string), and if it isn't it will add it to my listbox. The only problem is, it's not working, it's never adding an item.
vb.net
Public Class Form1 Dim AllProcesses As String Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load 'The first check For Each p In System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses() If AllProcesses = "" Then AllProcesses = p.ProcessName Else AllProcesses += "|" + p.ProcessName End
Ok I have a question about connection string in vb.net. Im using the string [Code] but here I am specifying the serverName by its name, now if I deploy my application and send it to another person to use it I see that server name is changing according to the name of the computer. Is there any way where by I can make my application to detect itself the Name of the server present in that computer and use it in connection string?

Im trying to make a frame on a website refresh with a new src.
This is my function in a seperate module PHP
Public Function StatusRead() If Form1.WebBrowser1.ReadyState = WebBrowserReadyState.Complete Then Dim theStatusCollection As HtmlElementCollection = Form1.WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("frame")

The flag is declared at class level in my form1.vb and the reason for the flag is to stop the frame endlessly refreshing
