Overwriting And Existing Saved File?
Nov 3, 2011
I'm creating an app that will be run via scheduled task, it will save an XLS file with the following naming convention:'S14-PROORDEREXP-Thursday' (the Thursday will change depending on what day of the week it is)I have the following line of code to save this excel file:
VB
If gstrJob = "S11" Then
xlWorkSheet.SaveAs(gstrFilePathS11 & gstrFileNameS11 & gstrFileTypeS11)
Else
[code].....
this will work fine the first time this scheduled task runs and there are no existing files but at the end of 1 week when I will be overwriting the existing files, how do I tell the application to overwrite the existing files without waiting on a yes prompt from me which it does in debug mode?

the program im working on is a form with multiple controls (textboxes,combobox, etc.) and it goes out and reads in a text file called test2.txt and plugs in values to the controls. the user will be able to change text in the fields and when they hit apply, it needs to overwrite the file.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim theFile As String = "c:\temp\test2.txt"
Dim lines() As String = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("c:\temp\test2.txt")
[code]....
with the given code, it errors out and tells me the file is already being used and can't be copied.how can i go about closing the file and THEN overwriting it?

i have made a program that takes info from your registry and uploads it so I can fix it and you can download the new version of a key that makes things work faster.... when someone uploads a file, it works good, and i can look at the ftp's text file and see it, but every time someone ELSE uploads something, it overwrites the previous text file and makes another one, which deletes the first one. i would like so that when another person uploads something, it will just be on the second line then third, so on so forth.

The program I am making uses a save dialog box and when I save a file it works fine. When I save and overwrite the file it seems to append the data. For some reason it keeps all previous data and just writes the data again. I'm using the XMLWriter to save the files. Is there any way of fixing this?

I am going to handle an event to write all files in a directory to a text file.But only the last file's context is saved successfully, I think that because of overwriting.
Private Sub ExtractButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ExtractButton.Click
Dim FileName As String
Dim FileItem As ListViewItem
[code]....

I have written a program which reads the text from the text file cleans it for some specific letters or phrases and then saves it in another text file. I am having a problem in rewriting the processed or cleaned data (after it has removed some phrases and characters)onto writing the file.
I have successfully written the text on the file except one problem. In each loop when each string is cleaned and is written on the text file, it overwrites the previous string. What I want is that it should write in the next line or in the same line.
My code is given below:
Private Sub btnopen_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnopen.Click
FileOpen.Title = "Please select the file"
[Code]...
how can I write the text in the new line and avoid overwriting of text in my text file.

I have a project where I am looping thru specific files in a directory using a For Each FileInfo in DirectoryInfo.GetFiles() statement. My question is if I overwrite the current FileInfo object, will it still retain the reference to the object even though the file is no longer the same?
Code Snippet:
For Each fi In folder.GetFiles("*.idx")
Dim reader As IO.StreamReader = fi.OpenText()
index = reader.ReadLine()
values = index.Split(",")

I have a workbook (Workbook1) that runs through some steps using visual basic, which ends up opening another workbook Workbook2). Once Workbook 2 is opened, I need to copy a section of data from it, into Workbook1 int a specific worksheet. I was able to do this by recording a macro, but the challange is, the name of Workbook 1, and Workbook 2, will vary by User. When I created the macro it uses the files as they are currently named. The section of code is below.

I decided on a comma separated data file, saved as a text file. This is for data that will not change. After loading the data from the text file; then throughout the lifetime of the program the data can change. The data can then be saved back to a different binary file. The idea is to have a save state system going.Does anyone have a suggestion or is opposed to the idea. Is there a simpler way to organize something like this?

I have my datagridview being loaded from a Text File and then being saved to a text file as a comma separated file - the commas obviously separate the columns. However in some of the cells prior to saving, I have data that i have inputted over two lines by pressing shift + return.
E.g.
"SOLD
10/05/2012"
This saves fine, but obviously shows up in the text file as a line break, which then causes some issues when I choose to re open the info back into DGV. How I can code so that it saves as a line break within a cell, rather than a completely new line.

I develop a web browser. It has a settings feature where you can change the homepage and some other options and it has bookmarks. Well, if you rename the file, then all of these settings are erased and reset to the defaults. How can I make this where all these settings are included no matter if moving, renaming, etc.?

I need to work with a previously stored listbox. Example: You save a file and it comes in the listbox, I can click it and I see it in all my textboxes. And if I restart the program it's still in the list. The files can be anywhere on the computer, that's why I need this method. The name that need to be in the listbox is the name of the save file.
