Read The Contents For Text File And Store Them In Array?
Feb 19, 2012
I am unable to read from the text file in VB. I want to read the contents for text file and store them in array. See my code below and the text file. How should I read this text file.
'Purpose : This program will read student name & final marks for a set of students from the text file and then calculate & display class average, class standard deviation, number of students above class average, name of student with highest mark, number of students with A's(90-100), B's (80 < 90), C's (65 < 80), D's (50 - < 65) and F's (<50).Calculate for standard deviation of a set of numbers:Step1. :Find the average Step2. : Square the difference between each number and the average

I have developed a vb.net dll (.net 3.5) which does the following :
- I have data of several stock market companies.
- They are stored in several folders under a main folder.
- These files are random access files.
- There can be around 4000 files in total for example.
I wrote a program which reads a current csv file and stores contents in array. Then I store name and path of companies in folders (which I was talking about). Then I match one company from csv (stored in array) to companies in user's folder (again reading from array). If found I insert data in the file (random access file). This whole process takes for eg. 2 min my system. A similar program was written years ago by someone in powerbasic which takes slight less time if run one but if run for multiple csv files it takes only a few seconds doing the same thing for other files. When I do the same thing (by writing code to .net dll) and making a dummy app to run it, no matter how many times I run it takes same time. And is way slower than the earlier one (PB) one I was talking about. But if I paste the same code in my win (.net) app and not use .net dll then it runs a bit faster.
I need to show status so if I pass my form's label reference to .net dll and it updates it does that slow down process a lot. As I mentioned I am trying to process the files and it takes longer in .net. What should I do to get best performance? Unfortunately due to unexplainable reasons I cannot change the format or use a db. The files which I am reading/writing (random access files) are use by other products so I have to stick to that format. What I am doing is storing the location of those files in array so that I don't have to search folder again. that is not taking time. But opening reading and writing files is time consuming if I am doing it for few thousand of them. A similar program in powerbasic (developed years ago) runs fast. Running code thru .net dll is slower than running it thru program. Why?

I have to text file in the following format :
Word[tab][tab]Word[Carriage Return]
Word[tab][tab]Word[Carriage Return]
Word[tab][tab]Word[Carriage Return]
I want to get all the words before the tab into one array or to create a new text file and the all the words after the tab into another array or create a new text file too.
Here my function to get the words before tab into an array :
Protected Sub MakeWordListBeforeTab()
Dim filename As String = "D:lao�0001.txt"
'read from file'
[Code].....
I wrote the above function to get all words before tab but I got all the words into array. I've been trying to use the Split method above. What is another method to split those words ?
I know this can be done with regular expression but I don't know regex yet. If you can show me how to get this done with regex it'll be awesome.

I'm trying to read the contents of a text file. Everyone says it's a piece of cake, but I still get error "404 Not Found" even though the site exists.
I'm using the following:
Dim myRequest As HttpWebRequest
Dim myResponse As HttpWebResponse
myRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create("[URL]") 'This does work
myRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create("[URL]") 'This does not
myRequest.Proxy = New WebProxy("http://proxy address", True)
myRequest.Method = "GET"
myResponse = DirectCast(myRequest.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
When I hit the [URL] the myRequest.GetResponse command passes the contents of the site into myResponse. However, hitting the [URL] always returns 404 even though it exists.

I'm wondering whether anyone else has had to do this. I've looked in to some third party solutions.
The two I've used with the most success are: 1. xPDF. This includes an executable, PDF2TEXT.exe, which takes an argument that is the path to the PDF file to "read" and a second argument which is the name of the text file where it will write the output. This works well and fairly quickly, but it's external to my application and calling it via a Process.Start() command raises security considerations and requires to user to allow the external executable to run. They must allow this to happen AT LEAST every time they run the import application (IF they will check the "Don't keep bothering me about this" box).
2. A solution from Foxit, which is GREAT, but costs a good bit of money to use. Does anyone have a solution that I can implement IN MY CODE (like #2) but that's free (like #1)?

I am totally embarrassed at having to ask this question, but I'm having trouble with file IO.I want to write a line to a text file. On another form, I want to read the contents of the text file one line at a time, so I can make comparisons of it's contents.

I am writing a simple program that will encrypt the text that is held in a text box and save it to a text file but I want it to be able to open a text file and decrypt the contents.
Ok now all the threads I have read are about reading a text file that is in a preset location.
What I want to do is open a text file that the user selects and have the contents displayed in a text box.

My text file is a settings file and I know I will be adding more to it in the future, right now it reads "autoplay=false;mintray=false;"I am currently using probably the most inefficient way to check both of those settings:
if contents = "autoplay=false;mintray=false;" then
elseif contents = "autoplay=false;mintray=true;" then
elseif contents = "autoplay=true;mintray=false;" true
elseif contents = "autoplay=true;mintray=true;"
endif
How can I read the file, find each word from the equals sign to the semicolon, and store each of them in a variable identified by the text before the equals sign? Something like this:
contents = "autoplay=false;mintray=false;"
autoplay = "false"
mintray = "false"
Also, how can I edit the settings in the text file without having to overwrite everything every time I save to it? For instance; finding mintray in the text file, and changing mintray to true instead of overwriting the file with "autoplay=false;mintray=true;".
This is my current
Reading
Dim fs As New FileStream("C:myfile.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
Dim d As New StreamReader(fs)

I'm working on a homework assignment for class from the Programming in Visual Basics 2008 published by Mc Graw Hill. It is the Chapter 11 Case Study. We are to create a program that makes a text file and populates it with data. Then use a second program that reads the contents of the text file into form containers. The first half is working perfectly.

I'd like to use a dictionary to store the contents of an ini file. Now I know you can simply say
myArray.add("key1","value1")
myArray.add("key2","value2")
etc...
But Id like to store more information with a specific key, not just a single value, so id like to associate other values with key1 eg firstname,surname,address.
So by knowing the value of 'key1' I could retrieve the firstname, surname or address associated with it.
I know in PERL, hash arrays work in this manner
eg
$hash{'key1}{'firstname'} = 'john';
$hash{'key1}{'surname'} = 'smith';
etc....

im just not sure on how to initiate the calling of the text file into an array.or if i could call lines from a richtextbox and if textbox1.text = a line in the rtb then execute. I guess what ever would be simpler.

I want to read a PDF file having lots of text, images, tables in it. I want to read the entire file content by content page by page, from top to bottom.
For example:
The top of the page contains the Heading
Then on left hand side the contents and on the right hand side images
So I first want to get the heading then the contents then the images. Is there any Open Source for reading the PDF or any coding reference for .net 2.0 or greater version.

I have a text box that I will paste into a byte array, for example:
02 01 05 BF DD 03
All I need to do is when I click on a button, for the program to take the length of the array and store it in RCVDMSG_Length() and then take the contents of the text box and put it into a byte array RCVDMSG(). From there I think I can figure out how to manipulate the array... but it's this first step that I'm stuck on....
So far I have this in my Form:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim RCVDMSG() As Byte
Dim RCVDMSG_Length() As Integer
RCVDMSG_Length = Len(TextBox1.Text)

I need my program to 'take a peek' into a ZIP file and see if it contains a certain file. I need it to do this many times for a large number of files, so I would prefer it without having to unzip the entire zip-file each time, as that would take far too much time (it's a fairly large zip-file of about 250 MB).Also, I don't need the actual file at all. All I need to know is if it exists inside the zip file.
vb.net
If IO.File.Exists("C:FolderIPFile.zipfolder_in_zipfile.jpg") Then
' "file.jpg" exists inside zip-file!
