So I am trying to learn vb.net and am a beginner. I find alot of online tutorials, but have yet to find one where I can follow what I'm attemping to do, just bits and pieces. I want to keep the code basic until I learn more, and in this case use two - one dimenstion arrays. I built a program to write Employee Names and Wages to a txt file.ie.
Jack Black vbtab 60000
Nick Mole vbtab 45000
and so on
I want to bring back that data and place the name and the and wage each into an array so I can calculate different criteria when I hit a search button. I will not know how many names and wages will be written to txt file. I am having trouble understanding exactly how to do this as all the examples I've found list only one array or the txt file is line by line like.
Jack Black
60000
Nick Mole
45000
Everything else I've found is over myhead so far.Here is my code so far if anyone can let me know where I'm going wrong. I have one error that tells me "property chars is read only". I have no idea what that means, even after reading up on it really...and I'm not sure if the rest of the code I've wrote is 100% anyway I assure you that I've spent more than a few hours trying to solve this myself.
Im doing some work right now for a class and this is my first time ever using arrays and im having some trouble. I need to make a program that places the names in an array using a text file and displays all presidents for a requested range of numbers. every time i try and run the program it says "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." but im not really sure what that means, Heres the code
Public Class frmPresidents Dim numLow As Integer, numHigh As Integer, Pres() As String Private Sub btnPresidents_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
specifically reading from a text file, and placing that into an array.
But the problem is, that in each line of the text file, I have at least three different separators. Sample:
14~8|3~7|16~5|7~4|1~2|3~1|_17 12~12|5~10|2~8|5~7|_0 etc.
[Code]....
So, what I want to do, is read each line of the text file into a separate item into an array, and each item in that array is a record of another array(of terms) and a single(constant).
I've already got SOME code, but I'm pretty sure it's not going to work, and I don't know much about reading from text files and string manipulation in the first place.
i am trying to read from a text file and store the data in an array but i don't know how to get started with my code. can someone please get me started here.i have start with the code for locating the file, but i am having difficulty reading the file.
Dim strFileName As String OpenAnswerFile.ShowDialog() strFileName = OpenAnswerFile.FileName
I have an assignment where I must read the information from a text file into an array of structs, so that when a part number is input, the correct price will be displayed.
the file is a text file named shoeinfo.txt
it looks like this: BZB34,40.99 BZJ25,54.50 JMM97,14.99
[Code].....
unfortunately I am unable to figure out how the code is to be read into the array. i.e. item(0).partnum = BZB34 item(0).price = 4099D
reading a text file into an array after a certain line in the text file, at the moment i am trying to do it using the method below: but i am having trouble thinking about how i can copy everyother line and also how i can count through the array the i = 0 and i = i + 1 are there while "i".
In a line what i would like to do:I need to copy everyother line for a known amount of lines that appears after the line " I FT I KT I " in a text file, but i do not know the position of this first line in the file.
Dim lines() As String = File.ReadAllLines(sessionsPath$ & "vmcg.afm") For Each inline As String In lines If inline.Contains(" I FT I KT I ") Then
I'm sort of new to VB and have to use it for my Software Design & Development Major Project.I'm making a blackJack game, and i the names of all users in a file called "CurrentUserNames.txt".I'm struggling to get VB to read this file (items are line by line not separated by a comma or something) and then save it into an array called CurrentUsers(). This array is then displayed in a listbox called "lstAllUsers".I can get VB to read the file and put the FIRST item in the file into the FIRST line of the list box, or i can get VB to put ALL the items in the file into the listbox, separated by the little [] squares when the program runs e.g listbox, line 1 says - "Current [][] Names".[code]
read data from text file , 3 data types saved on the file, "location", "time","sighting" eed to extract all data from file and save on a 2d array and display on a datagrid view.ata sorted by ascending order of time.
I must use streamreader to read text file line by line into array.
Here's what I've got.
Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click Dim numbers() As Double = New StreamReader(txtfile.Text) Dim numbersarray() As Double
I want to reading in a excel file and extract the sCodenumber sDescription ans the sStatus and store them in a array : StatusComposeArray(5200) As MyCompose. After this I need this array for comparing outside this class. But as can you see the array is defined inside the sub: ReadingIn_ExcelFilesCompose [Code]
I want to open a text file from a url (example: http://domain.com/mytext.txt)
and then load it into array. (Separated by new line)
I have another question. I'm thinking to develop a simple chat application. I'm thinking to write/read all chat messages in xml. is the idea logical for chat application development?
I'm working on a project that requires me to take values from a CSV file. I've to do further processing with these values and it'd be great if I can have these values in a 2D array. The number of rows and columns of the CSV files changes at regular intervals.I'm unable to take these values into a 2D array in VB.NET/C#.[code]
im really new to vb.net and really need to finish this project.So what i want to do is read from a .txt file.This file has loads of proxy IP addresses and is stored in this form, (as a list) i want to (using an array most probably) be able to select one proxy off the list in the txt file. I then want a variable that i can change so that i can hook it up to a timer so i can change the proxy every thirty seconds or so.(does not have to be random selection, what ever is easiest)
The underlined txt is what i need help with, i can do the rest myself, this is my code although it probably would be a good idea to start over because im un sure what i am doing
I have a file C:\level1.txt that has a long row of numbers 0 or 1 to represent a green or red tile drawn.For example here is the txt file I am using right now: [code]This is the EXACT formating of the txt document.The issue on hand is I am unsure if this data gets written to the array correctly, since all my "tiles" are red.Here is the code I wrote: NOTE: Just add a 250 by 250 picturebox1.[code]
I need some input on what I'm doing wrong. What I have so far is an order form program where customers input their information and what they want to buy. Now, what I'm trying to do is take the customer information, store it in an array, write the customer information to a file, and then when I open the order form, it loads the customer information file and automatically fill in a display box on another form with all the customers and the information.I want each customer in a file to be stored on one line. Like so: (Name, address, city, state, zip)
Mike-123 E Dream Rd-Denver-CO-99558 Jane-234 E Code Rd-Seattle-WA-99458
Then when the file is read, to read it, and add each name to a structured array (customers(NumberOfCustomers).Name, customers(NumberOfCustomers).Address, customers(NumberOfCustomers).City, customers(NumberOfCustomers).State, customers(NumberOfCustomers).zip).
After it has all been added to the array, all customers in the file, I want to loop through the array and display each customer on a new line in a listbox, which opens in another form.So far, everything works IF I don't write to a fail. If I store the customers in an array and use a loop to display the customers in the listbox, all is well. However, when writing to a file and trying to read it back into the array is where I've hit a problem. The following code seems to work well, however, it just reads the first line over and over as many times as there are lines in the file, and displays all those using the loop. I just need a way to loop through the lines and store each line into each structured array for each customer, instead of read the first line 12 times over into 12 different places in the array.

I am working on a project in VB 2008 and need it to do this:Read first line from text file (using Openfile)Enter line into textbox on formDo some other codeThen Read second linefrom text fileEnter line into same text boxand loop until we have gone through text fileI am not sure how to read line by line from text file then enter it in textbox. I can open the Openfile and get the filename and everything, but I just am not sure how to read from it or enter that line into the textbox.Here is what I have, its not much but its a start:
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click Dim FileReader As StreamReader
I have gotten farther along in my work, and the "add friends" works great Now, I am working on deleting friends. I have the following snipplet from my code:
how to read this file into my structured array. it's a 'quiz generator' program. i have a .dat file with a set of 10 questions, and i need to load it into my structured array:

I'm new to VB and new to programming in general. I'm working on some code for school which I'm taking online, and the book doesn't do a very good job of explaining how to do this. The array in the txt file contains this info.
[Code]...
I have a list box, which will contain the item numbers and then a price label which will contain the item price. Here is the code I have, but when it reads from the file, it puts all information from each line. I understand why it does that, I just need to know how to set it up to read it as an array.
I'm reading a txt file into an array and then writing a new file one line at a time. The reason i'm using array is that i'm searching for a few lines that i want to find and replace.
However in my file I have some ascii characters but they aren't read well. I read something about System.Text.Encoding.Default but I don't know how to implement it in my code.
I have a bar cash register and have buttons for the drinks and number pad. In the program I have it working and it is reading the File and storing it in a Array. the problem i have is writing back to the part of the textfile. Here is 2 of the drinks buttons, all the rest of the drinks are the same.
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 want to split each line at the comma and write the left side to a textbox and the the right side to another textbox. I'm close, with the code below, but I can only post results from the first line in the file. How do I loop this and append the text results in each of the textboxes.
Dim TempFile As String TempFile = "temp.txt" Dim sw As StreamWriter
what I have to do is read the 5 names inside the Sequential Access File and store them in an array. I'v encountered a problems in storing it in an array. Here's the code

Theres an error in the code saying that a string cannot be converted into a one dimensional array.
I am trying to import a TAB (NOt comma) delimited text file into a DataGridView. The following code works fine if I have a comma separated file. All I have to do is change the FMT to "Delimited".It just does not work with FMT=TabDelimited. All columns are read into single datatable column. The text file is ANSI text and I have double checked to make sure Tabs are tabs and not spaces, even exported a sample Tab Delimited file from Excel.Can this even be done using Text Driver? [code]
