How do i read through a textfile line by line checking for and removing duplicate values?
View 1 RepliesI have multiple textbox,I want all of them to read whats inside a text file,but I dont want multiple text files,I just want one.
Here is my code that lets you read a whole text file.
vb.net
Dim FILE_NAME As String = "Directory"
If System.IO.File.Exists(FILE_NAME) = True Then
Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(FILE_NAME)
[code]....
But I just want it to read certain lines For Example on textbox1 should only read the line <vote>texthere</vote> and so on,
how do i have my app read a line from a textfile and if that line equals "whatever" proceed with command, this case a msgbox.so much work to do and so many choices to choose from...
View 3 RepliesI have a 2 textfiles with a few lines of text.
e.g. textfile1
pos1:1
pos2:10
pos3:1
[Code].....
I need to open both files and compare the lines without knowing which line is different. (mgsbox (pos2.value)<< something like this)
I have a text file (CSV) approx 100k lines (8Mb). I want to search the entire file for a particular string eg, "apple" and for all lines containing the string to be printed in a text box. have successfully done this using streamReader to parse the CSV and check each element against the search word eg. apple. This has proven to be very very slow and I have read that the "ReadAllLines" method is much faster.
View 8 RepliesI'm making a program which has 7 textboxes. I intend the program to be used for classes in school, so the text would be like 2D Art, Geology etc... whatever your classes are. I have figured out how to use the streamwriter to take the text in the textboxes and write them to a .txt file however, my issue is with loading the text from the .txt file back into the textboxes. I did figure out how to write it so that all the text in the .txt file is loaded back into textbox1 but I have 7 textboxes... Here's the coding for the Load button:
Private Sub Button46_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button46.Click
Dim MainWindowLog As String = "V:Users(O.o)~(--_--)~(o.O)DocumentsVisual Studio

I have a textfile wich my app will have to read.The textfile will be like this
Hello=Bye
SeeYou=SeeYa
GoodMorning=GoodAfternoon
And so on, each line in the textfile will consist of two words seperated by a = Now I want to load this textfile and then be able to use each line and have a name for the word on either side of the = and then do something with line 1 word 1 and then do something with line 1 word 2 (word 1 beeing the first word before the = and two beeing the one after the =)
what i need to do is open a txt file, read line by line, decode each line into an array and display. Now all works ok apart from one line.
sTextLine = objReader.ReadLine() <-- Value of string cannot be converted.
full code here
-------------
Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(sOpenFile.Text)
Dim sTextLine As New ArrayList()
Dim sText As String = ""
Dim i As Integer = 0

I'm making a function that is supposed to delete a line from a textfile "test.txt". I'm having no problems with finding what line i want to delete. The basic idea is this: read the whole file with streamreaderdelete the linerewrite the file with streamwriter. My problem is the last, how can i completely remove the file content, and write another string in it, writer.writeline just appends a line.
View 2 RepliesI am having trouble removing a line from a text file. When I click on the button in order to remove the line it gives me an error that access to the file is not possible. Now I assume that the file is in use during me wanting to change it and therefore cant save it while it is loaded in ht application. I have tried a few things but cant seem to get it to work.Essentially what it does is that I have another dialog that a used can add data, the data is then written to the file FilingLocations.txt and then it saves it and loads it again. But once the line is no longer needed I would like to have the option to remove the line agaise.
Here is the code:
Private Sub cmdRemoveLocation_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdRemoveLocation.Click

how to read text from a listbox line by line and put current line in a label?
View 3 RepliesI have a textfile which is in the following format.
[code]...
There are only 5 rows and two columns. each field is seperated by a space (" ") What I'm trying to do is display column 2 value 1 in textbox1, column 2 value 2 in textbox2, column 2 value 3 in textbox3,column 2 value 4 in textbox4 and column 2 value 5 in textbox5.
I have a program that reads a text file tab delimted using OLEDb I need to be able to allow the user to insert a user created record into the file which I can do. The problem is I need to be able to let the user edit that record. From my understanding you can not edit or delete with OLEDB only insert So I thought I would read the file using stream reader, find the line I want to edit and just delete it, rewrite the file, then let the user insert a new record?
Dim strDelimiter As String = vbTab
OpenFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = "C:\"
OpenFileDialog1.Filter = "Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt"

I have a program that searches for a word in a .txt file. When it finds the word I want to print the following 5 lines under that word. So for example: I search for "juice", and my label grabs this out of the textfile:
juice
apple
grape
orange
milk
Is there anyway to this in VB.NET?
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Windows.Forms

I want read the content of the text file and write to vb.net application. My text file name is wires.txt. The above code only read and the file appear on the application. I dont want the file to be visible to the end user.
I have not had much time to go threw my code properly as this is some urgency. I need to remove line 1 from a textfile if it contains a string but its not working.I have 500 files and not going to do this manually.
Code:
Private Sub btnRemove_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnRemove.Click
If String.IsNullOrEmpty(txtDirectory.Text) Then
OpenFolderDialogDirectory()
[code]....
I also feel the function is very pointless sime i am opening the file twice.
I have some coding which displays a label if the value of a textbox matches the first value of each line in a textfile.
Dim sList As New List(Of String)(IO.File.ReadAllLines("Path"))
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To sList.Count - 1
[Code]...
The problem is if the textbox has 1 and the textfile has 11 it will display the label, what would be the best way around this?
I have tried sList(i).Contains etc but none of them are doing the job.
I have a program which reads data from a textfile line by line, but I would like to make some kind of update system and link the program to a website.
So how can I read a textfile from a website with streamreader?
I'm trying to place the contents of a text file (just a list of names) into a list box when the form loads.
My code currently looks like this:
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[Code].....
I can get the names into the list box, but they're all on one line. I thought about using a For...Next loop to read the contents of the text file, but I got into all sorts of trouble; do I need an array with that method? So I've got back to the code I originally had.
I have a form with 2 listboxes. I've added items in each listbox. I save all the items from each listbox to a text file. What I want to do is open the text file and I want each string inside the text file to go to the appropriate listbox. How can I make my program recognize where each string belongs?
View 16 RepliesI have my code it is able to read a text file and do checks each line if there are 7W and 5L in that particular line, if no matches it will remove that line... 1 problem i face now is that, there are duplicates in my textfile..Im not sure how am i going to remove the duplicate in the text file. I want to know if there is a way to integrate an additional function inside my code to check if that particular line is a duplicate so i can accomplish 2 tasks at 1 time... Since there are about close to 1million records in my text file.

I have this class:
Public Class ProxyHelper
Private Shared proxyQueue As New Queue(Of System.Net.WebProxy)()
' Just holds the number of times we've asked for a proxy.
[Code]....
This will ask for one proxy each time my webclient does something five times.
My webclient simply downloads some data and views it from a webpage over and over, and after 5 times you will get banned.
Question: How can I make the above code ask for a proxy from a textfile with one proxy on each line?
I will not have a browse function, the proxies.txt will always be in the app.dir
How would i read a textfile that is in My.Resources and put the whole document in a textbox for the user to see?
I figured i would need a IO.StreamReader and a IO.StringReader but cant figure out too much what to do with these.
I figured i could create a loop until it has read to the end of the document but there is no check called HasLineAvailable or something.
I have a txt document here that have certain word on it per line. How can I show it in different labels. I have 25 labels and have label name as followsword1,word2,word3,word4,word5 and so on up to word25. I want the word 1 label will show the first line of the text file and the second word2(label name) will show the second line of the textfile and so on up to the 25th line . Can it be done using loop?I tried but I dont know exactly how readline process works to identify certain lines you want to read and also I tried using the "i" variable to auto generate the name of my label but it did not work.

I have a Textfile "C:Holiday.txt" where the data is stored line by line.
[Code]...
I would like to read this data into a datagrid , (2 Columns), edit it, and save it again.
i know i have to use a loop to get each line of the textbox onto a newline of a textfile but i dont know how to figure out how many lines of text the user has entered into a textbox. I tryed using a try statment to loop until it errors, it seems to work sometimes but other times it only takes half of the textbox and adds it to the textfile. And if atmaweapon reads this, i tryed to make better names for variables. Here is my code,
Code:
Path = ("Meals" & ComboBox1.SelectedItem & "" & TextBox1.Text & ".txt")
File = New System.IO.StreamWriter(Path)
If ComboBox2.SelectedItem = "1" Then
[Code]....
how many line of text there are... im not so shure how good it is to run a loop tell it errors for a textfile, but its the only way i could think of.
I'm currently use visual basic 2008. The problem is I have try this code but,it produce no output. There is no problem with the code I guess. Here is my code

What I am trying to do may be better for use with SQL Server but I have seen many applications in the past that simply work on text files and I am wanting to try to imitate the same behaviour that those applications follow. I have a list of URL's in a text file. This is simple enough to open and read line by line, but how can I store additional data from the file and query the data?
E.g.
Text File:
link1 - 0
link2 - 0
link3 - 1
link4 - 0
link5 - 1
Then I will read the data with:
Private Sub ButtonX2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ButtonX2.Click
OpenFileDialog1.Filter = "*txt Text Files|*.txt"
If OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
Dim AllText As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(OpenFileDialog1.FileName)
Dim Lines() = Split(AllText, vbCrLf)
[Code] .....
Am I going completely the wrong way about storing the data after importing from a text file?
I have a textfile I need to open and I need to put each line into the array. What is the simplest way to add the elements/each line's data into the array while increasing the array as it reads each line? This is blowing my mind right now..I thought about using a counter and then redim-ing the array (while preserving of course).
