View 1 RepliesI 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.
View 5 RepliesI 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.

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:

I've been trying for a long time to do what seems to be the most simplest of things..I have a remote host and I need to know if certain posts on that host are open or closed.Many examples on the net that I have found arent complete, and because I havent worked with VB.net for long I dont knowhow to complete them.Here is my code:: The issue is with this it tell me the target port is always closed, when I know that it is open.Code:Dim host As String = "www.google.com" Dim port As Integer = 80 Dim addr As IPAddress =CType(Dns.GetHostAddresses(host)(0), IPAddress) Try Dim tcpList As New TcpListener(addr, port)tcpList.Start() Catch sx As SocketException MessageBox.Show("port is closed") End TryA friend of mine suggested using WinSock.. I've not dealt with it before so I don't know what he's on about.

"Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host."
I have a fat VB.NET Winform client that is using the an old asmx style web service. Very often, when I perform query that takes a while or pass a large amt of data to a web service in a dataset, I get the subject error.The error seems to occur in < 1 min, which is far less than the web service timeout value that I have set or the timeout value on the ADO Command object that is performing the query within the web server.It seems to occur whenever I am performing a large query that expects to return a lot of rows or when I am sending up a large amount of data to the web service. For example, it just occurred when I was passing a large dataset to the web server:System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive. ---> System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the rem
View 3 RepliesI have an application that copies a file from a network/internet location. I am trying to catch the exception for when the network connection becomes unavailable (or internet goes down). Currently i catch the exception "Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host." which occurs on the bold, underline line below.The issue i have is i try and attempt the operation to continue doing what it was doing by resetting variables and then reassigning them to continue reading the stream but cant get past this error. The only way to go past it is to stop and start the application which is not what im after. [code]

The MySQL Server is Protected with password and is an remote Host
I have created a Windows service that runs on one of our servers. The service lisens to incoming connections on a set socket port, runs a series of WMI queries on the requested computer in a new thread (the socket accepts a string value as input which is the hostname to scan), creates an xml file based on the collected data, and posts it back to a webserver. This works perfectly on all WMI queries, but i have one function that gets all installed software from the requested host using the RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey method to get all keys from the "SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall" key on the target host. If the the target machine OS is Window Vista or 7, it returns no values. If i run this code on the target machine it works, but not from the service on a server. The service is installed and runs with full domain administrator rights. I guess this is a permission issue, but i have not found a good solution on how to solve it on the internet. As a workaround i use WMI to get a list of installed software from computers running Vista or 7. The problem with the WMI method is that it's very slow. It takes 10 - 15 seconds just to loop thru all ManagementObjects in the Querycollection. Maybe i could filter the WMI query better before starting the loop ?

I want to make a program where it would read the text from textbox1(Ip Address) and textbox2(website) and add the text to my HOST file. I found this, and modified it a bit. I guess what I'm asking is if this would work, the only reason I'm not debugging it is because I don't wanna f/// up my HOST file.

Two instance of same exe where running simultaneously in same PC but error was thrown only by one instance Program uses both sqlconnection(ADO.NET) and ADODB connection(upgraded from VB6) and the error is thrown by both types of connection. If the error is due to network problem with the server then why few programs work fine? I am not able to trace the reason for this behavior of the program. Can I know why this error occurs and why only in few programs of same instance.
way to retrieve list/rename hiddne files from the remote host. I need to upload the file to a server and then move it to another directory, but the file after being transfered becomes hidden. If I try to rename it any way I get the dreaded 550 in response. I would hate to move to commad line scripting which at the moment seams to be my only option.

View 3 RepliesI have a tcp server that uses TCPListener and the async method BeginAcceptTCPClient:
Imports System.Net.Sockets
Imports System.Threading
Imports System.Net
Public Class TCPServer
[Code]...
My problem is that infrequently, I get an exception in the HandleAsyncConnection method:"An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host" right at the EndAcceptTCPClient method. At this point, the TCPListener seems to stop listening. The problem is that I can't test this easily, as it only happens on a remote test VM and only once every 24 hours or so. If I knew how to recreate the error with a test client, I would be able to figure this out. Wireshark shows a reset [RST] packet being sent at around the time of the exception. So I either need to know how to handle the exception, or how to recreate the problem with a test client.
