String Supposed To Find And Replace A Portion Of The Text And Write The Changes Back Out To The File Via Streamwriter
Jul 22, 2010I have thios code that will load a php file (text file) into a sting via streamreader then its supposed to find and replace a portion of the text and write the changes back out to the file via streamwriter. I put my code together and after running it look at the file and it's unchanged. After looking closer it appears the problem is the find & replace operation I am doing on the string. Here is my code:

View 3 RepliesVS 2008 Find And Replace A String Within A Text File?
Dec 25, 2011I have to find a string in a huge text file ( ~ 50MB) and then replace it.Since it's quite huge I tend to open the file and then read line by line, and then replace the necessary line(s) (rather than "readall" the file of course).My question is how to replace the whole line?Let's say I found the line that should be replaced . I know I can create a copy file and copy all lines into there ... but I'd prefer to replace the line in the original file rather than creating a copy instance.

Nov 1, 2009I would like to step through each *.txt file in a given directory, open it, find and replace all, perhaps a thousand, occurances of a given string (e.g. "00/00/00"), then close and save file, and step to next one in the directory to do the same find and replace. I've been looking at filestream classes and regular expressions but don't see a clear way to do this.
View 4 RepliesFCL For A Method That Will Allow To Erase A Line Of Text From A Text File And Replace It With Another Line Of Text
Dec 19, 2008I've been looking through the FCL for a method that will allow me to erase a line of text from a text file and replace it with another line of text. Neither the StreamReader nor StreamWriter have a method for replacing or removing Text from a text file, as does the string object. Are there any available methods for erasing just certain lines of text from a file, and then replacing them with others?
In my code, I'd like to locate a certain line in the text file, and then at that point in the text file, use a For...Next Loop to replace each successive line of the text file with new text:
Dim user_data_file As String = "user_data.txt"
edit_input = New StreamReader(user_data_file)
Dim edit_line As String = edit_input.ReadLine
[CODE]...
However, I can't find any methods that will allow me to do this.

Block of text:
Chairman Joe Smith has announced a new plan to decrease expenditures by outsourcing the planning of the new dining hall. Smith states the current project managers do not have excess time to commit to this new project and this will be less costly than hiring a new or contract project manager.
Now what I am trying to do is take any instances of Chairman Joe Smith, or Joe Smith, or Smith, or Chairman Smith and put that in a link to his profile/bio. Using any string methods that I know of (string replace, string builder, add text to before and after a matching string) I would run into the problem when scanning for Smith and then any of the other names.[code]...

Find And Replace In A Text File?
Jun 3, 2011I am making a program for work, i have it partly coded, unfortunately i don't have a wifi connection for my laptop right now which makes it hard to add my code here. What i am trying to do is have the user pull in a text file from anywhere on the computer using a open file box that pops up, i got that part, to make sure that is working i have a textbox that reads the data of that text file, it gets pulled in fine using a stream reader. Now what i need to do is search the text file for certain values, and depending on the selected item in the listbox which is on another form, change that value in the text file, im guessing i will need to use a stream writer, and ive seen examples used based on the file location(C:....) but in my case im not sure how to do it.

How To Replace Specific Line In Text File
Aug 12, 2009I 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

Each line has a specific word, and then after that word is the data I want to use for the form.
