Pull The Information From A Text File In The Debug Folder?
Jul 3, 2010I am having trouble with this list box assignment. I am supposed to pull the information from a text file in the debug folder.

Read The .txt File To End And Return The Information Stored In The .txt File To This Line Of Code?
Dec 9, 2009I'm using Visual Basic express 2008.The application I am working on is the first major project I have ever undertook with visual basics. The application is a launcher for a private server for world of warcraft.I have a menu bar that pulls the file path of the wow.exe and puts it in a hidden textbox, I then have another option that saves this text to c:wowexe.txt. All of this works GREAT!
How can I read the .txt file to end and return the information stored in the .txt file to this line of code.
Dim RetVal
RetVal = Shell("This is where I need the data from the .txt file to be seen", 1)
If your wondering why I don't just type in the path of the .exe, it's simple, not everyone installs World of Warcraft on the C drive.

View 4 RepliesRetrieve Information From A Binary File, Alter That Information, And Put It Back Into A New File?
Aug 27, 2009I am using VB2005 and trying to put an application together.What it needs to do is retrieve information from a binary file, possibly alter that information, and put it back into a new file.The file is a .wav file with data appened to the end. There is an additional section at the end of the .wav file which stores xml data.I have found that if I open this in a hex editor and make a 1:1 swap on any of the bytes that the application that the file is for can still read the XML.If I tried to add or remove characters from the XML then it would not read. I located a header byte and incremented it to resolve this.
This worked as an excellent bandage to do conversions where the data always needed to be changed to the same thing.What I have been asked to do is build logic that allows for different things to happen depending upon what data is contained within the file.The method that I am currently trying to impliment is:
Read through the file with a system.io.binaryreader
Searche for a bytestream that will signal data is coming
For example:
If System.IO.File.Exists("C: est estread.wav") Then
Dim findit() As Integer = New Integer() {&H3C, &H55, &H73, &H72, &H44, &H65, &H66, &H30, &H31, &H30}
Dim i As Integer[code].....
And then extract all the data till the end of element marker "<" It seemed like there should be a better way and I was looking for some insight. If I proceed with this method, I will have to read the file one time to gather the information and then a second time to write it all out with the header modified for length.This is my first experiene with working with binary files in this way.Also,I've been experiementing with building a string and slapping it back in at the end using the binarywriter.write(string) method.I noticed that it was putting in header characters before the string.These seem to change if I change the length of the string.At one point it was d0 07. Later it became e7 07. Does anyone know of a way to prevent this header from being inserted?
I tried a for each loop to grab all of the characters from the string, convert them to a byte array and deposit the byte array into the file, but the header remained the same. When I write the byte array generated from a system.io.binaryreader I do not get this header.

Read All Txt File In A Folder Line By Line?
Mar 29, 2012I am quite new in VB NET, after VB. and unfortuantely I had to copy paste and merge the code fragments from some tutorials.
I have a folder including 200 eng files which can be opened by notepad. And each file has around 4000 row; with 60 field seperated by coma. I need to read specific row-field value at each files.
Now what I can is:
a) reading individual txt files and find specific value
b) listing all of the files in the folder
c) I can merge (a) and (b) and read all the files automatically, but since ram is continuously increasing, and at one point (sometimes 163, sometimes 169, or 170. files or something) it gives an error as "System.OutOfMemoryException". My ram is 4 GB and when I get this error the ram is increasing to more than 3 GB.
1- Could it be happen because of being eng files instead of regular txt files?[code]...

Error Trying To Read Information From Database
Apr 4, 2012i am new to working with databases, I have done some of my own research and have been adding and regtrieving records without trouble. Now I need to retrieve a specific record based on a selection made by the user. I found that the way to do it is with the WHERE statement and from examples i have seen the code below should be how it is done:[code]The problem I am having is that when i try to run the sub i get the error:Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'Show Name = Strictly Hip Hop'.The show name is in the database because that is where the data is retrieved from. All I am trying to do is populate a text box with information from the Host column when the Show Name column is the same as the selected item in the combo box.
