View 5 RepliesOkay, so I've been looking on the web for a way to read only ONE line out of a text file. Recently I've gotten by by creating separate text file for each line (such as a text file named, "Username", another named "Password", instead of creating a single text file with both the user name and password.) Now I am faced with having to do this. I want a quick and easy way, VB won't let me do open file as input #1 for some reason. I just need the second line of text out of this text file. What is the quickest and easiest (and painless) way of doing this?

In VB.net I'm trying to read in a specific line from a file. An example of the line in the txt file is:
[PATH] = "/this/directory/run.exe"
how to open the file for reading and writing in VB, but I need to parse out the path in the "" (quotation marks).
Ok, I saw this code on the net
Dim sFileName As String
Dim srFileReader As System.IO.StreamReader
Dim sInputLine As String
sFileName = "D:UsersArbenDesktopSerieA.txt"
srFileReader = System.IO.File.OpenText(sFileName)

under the code I pasted at the top, but I get the text on line1 in all labels, like all labels become 1, while the text should be 1, 2, 3 and so on. So anyone can help me do that, each label gets the value of the next line in the txt file
I've been writing a weight program for flooded pressure vessels and I'm having trouble retrieving the data from the text files I've been saving. I know how to write the data to the text file, but retrieving it with OpenFileDialog is not so easy for me.The user has individual text boxes that they input strings or numbers into and when they save the file, each text box input is written to one line in the text file. For example, the first text box is for the username, therefore the first line of text that is saved is the person's name, the second text box is the customer, thus the second line in the text file is the customer name, and so on.
(Actually, the first line of text in the saved file designates whether English units were used or Metric units because when the user retrieves the saved file, English units will open one form and Metric units will open a separate form, so some If...Then statement will need to occur).I need to be able to read the first line, have either my "EnglishForm"form open or my "MetricForm" form open, and then have each subsequent line of text be displayed in their corresponding text boxes. I know I need to use ReadLine or LineInput, but I don't have a clue what to do.Assuming the syntax I've displayed below would just magically work (if only life were that easy), it would look something like this
If FirstLineOfTextInFile = "English" Then
EnglishForm.Show()
ElseIf FirstLineOfTextInFile = "Metric" Then[code]....
And so on...I read a lot of articles from the MSDN library and exhausted each link that I've looked through from Google and Bing, but most only retrieve data from the file to a single text box through some loop or streamreader and don't take into account multiple forms.
I am reading a text file line by line using StreamReader.Readline(). After reading a line i have to check whether some fields of the line which is read are present in the rest of the file or not. What i am doing is that after reading a line from the file i am passing the streamreader to check whether there are multiple entries. i am trying to use line.Length() to get the length of line, so using this length i can go back to the line
my code:
Dim pos as Long
sr = File.OpenText(filepath)
While sr.Peek() <> -1
[code]....
my problem is that it is not giving me the expected line or it is skipping some part of the line.how can i return back to my line?

I was wondering how I would go about replacing a specific line of text with different text, and then later reading a specific line of text (from the same file). The text file has a lot of lines, and basically the layout is like this:
Something1 Data I want to read
Something2 Data I want to read
Something3 Data I want to read
Each line has a specific word, and then after that word is the data I want to use for the form.
How to read from a line in vb .net, I need to do the following:
change the line in a text file
[Path] = "c: hiscertainpath"
With this line
[Path] = "c: hatother
ewerpath"
These paths will most certainly be different lengths, so I need to either replace what's in the quotes or erase the line completely and enter a new one, but in the same spot, not appended to the end of the document.
I have been learning VB for about 3 months now at college and decided to enhance my skills by making my own project at home. My project is basically a game where you have to guess if the next number will be higher or lower than the previous version and you can place bets on it. I have done all of this ok but I wanted to create a high score system so that you could save your score.I can manage to write out to a text file ok so that it looks like this
Highscores
Name
Score
[code]....
etc. But I am not sure on how to read in a specific line. So for example I want lblHighscore1.text to equal line 3 of the text document (as vb counts the first line as 0) So far all I have is this;
Dim objReader As IO.StreamReader = New IO.StreamReader("C:UsersKarlDesktopHighScore.t xt")
lblHighscore1.Text = (objReader.ReadLine)
I am making a vb.net app and I need to know how to overight onto a specific line in a text file. For example:[code]Now, I want to completely overight the "B" to an "A" and the line I need to write on is "2" also, my application will produce dynamic text files as well so I wont always be able to know what line exactly to overight. So my question is, how do I write to a line when I know what line it is and how do I search for a specific line and overight that.
