Search A Selected Folder For All Extension In Listbox1?
Mar 6, 2012
i am using vb 2010 express
im trying to search a selected folder for all extension in listbox1
here is my current code. it only works if i highlight the listbox1 i want it to go thru all the extentsion in the list box. if possible when they click the button can it do a OpenFileDialog and use that dir and add them to listbox2 intead of "c:"
Dim count As Integer = (ListBox1.Items.Count - 1)
Dim words As String
For a = 0 To count
So I have two ListBoxes. Listbox1 gathers files from a directory and I have an add button to add selected files from Listbox1 over to Listbox2.
Is there a way to manually sort these items? Maybe with an up down buttons?
The reason I'd like to sort/reorder is I'll have a process that will run those selected files and each file will have to produce another file unique to the filename.
A quick example would be process FILE1.txt and produce FILE1.pdf, etc.
Is there an easier way to accomplish the sort/reorder?
UPDATE
Here is currently how I'm populating my listbox1, before adding anything to listbox2, which is the ListBox I'd like to have sorted so way or another.
Dim directoryInfo As _ New System.IO.DirectoryInfo(FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath) Dim fileInfos() As System.IO.FileInfo
I have 2 listboxes, and i can't get out what i need to do for the method. The method is, if a item in listbox1 is selected, it will select the same line in listbox2 and same in reverse. there can be many many items.
I have a CheckedListBox with some stuff in it and a ListBox with nothing in it. I'm using this code to get the Selected one in CheckedListBox1 to ListBox1 and splitting it:
i have a list box which is populated with folder names via directoryinfo, and i have a second listbox which is also populated with folder names from a user selected folder. So listbox1 is populated like this:
In VB.NET, how can I search all hard-drives (regardless of whatever a machine has C, D or more) for specific file types (for example .mp3)? I want the file path to be return along with the file size.
Private Sub Button6_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button6.Click If FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then End If End Sub
I have managed to get drag and drop working if this is any help:
Private Sub ListBox1_DragEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As _ System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles ListBox1.DragEnter If e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop) Then
I have two issues I am trying to correct...First am trying to get my listbox1 to be the selected Comport used to do the send data and get data back.
My second issue is its requiring me to send two times to get my read data back as complete data and has odd shapes with the data I get back in front of and after the regular txt.
Beware, I am very new at this so please take it easy on me... Most help I did find was for older versions I only have the 2010 Visual studio Professional...
I want to search a text file (*.txt extension) for a certain keyword or a part of it. And then let the found item be displayed in a listbox or something else. Now the more difficult part, how can I display the word in front of that found word ?
Example: I search for VBFORUMS in a file called test.txt I find this: VBFORUMS but in front of that is this: IDS_IDS_TXT_008912VBFORUMS
How can I then display the IDS_IDS_TXT_008912 on a label ?
I How can I search a specific file using vb.net and store the path in a variable?For example if I need to know where I have *.abc files in my entire computer, how can this be done?
I am making a password program that remembers what the password is for and what the password is. I have two listboxes: 'listbox1' for what the password is for, and 'listbox2' for the password. I also have a remove button. I would like it so when you press the remove button, the selected item in listbox1 is removed and the password in listbox2 is also deleted. The passwords are stored in two settings: what, and pw. The items that will be deleted will have the same value. By value i mean they will be the same number item. E.G. the 1st item, or the 3rd item in the list.
i have been trying to search a specified directory and all sub directories for all files that have the specified file extension. However the inbuilt command is useless as it errors up and dies if you dont have access to a directory.
Private Function dirSearch(ByVal path As String, Optional ByVal searchpattern As String = ".exe") As String() Dim di As New DirectoryInfo(path) Dim fi As FileInfo
[code]......
However i get an "System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." when i try to access the data stored inside the filelist string array.
I want to copy files with a specific extension (for example .config or .exe). It should create a structure of nested directories, and then insert each file into a specified place in the directory hierarchy. Ideally I would just specify a parent directory for each file and a parent directory for each directory and it would build it.
I need any existing utility or batch file or power-shell script or C#/VB .Net code to perform this activity.
I am having a namespace extension implemented, which is visible in "MY Computer". I want to write automated test cases to browse through the same. I am able to open the explorer window till the namespace extension. as - Process.Start("explorer.exe", "shell:::{CLSID of my namespace }")
next I want to search for a particular folder name inside the window opened. For example if i give input as "temp", then my mouse should move to "temp" folder in the namespace explorer window. then I double click on the mouse's current position and enter that folder. next i give input as "doc1.doc", then my mouse should be able to locate & move to "doc1.doc" file. Also getDirectory or GetFile etc APIs won't work because I don't have a standard drive associated with my namespace & don't have a relative path either.
I am using the .getdirectory to scan my whole c drive for certain files to be backup. e.g *.doc. however when i run the code, i hit into error. stating folder access error. one of the folder which cause the error is system information volume.
I can't find how to search for a folder (directory) that contains a string and copy all the folders (directory) that contain that string to another directory. So you search for the name of the directory, not the files in the directory.For example: 'KTNPRK' in E: gives:E:KTNPRK1, E:AZNKTNPR76, etc...
I'm searching a Datagridview for a date, when that date is -2 month this row is selected. I'm not sure how to calculate the date difference. Ex, 1/22/2009 -2 month = 11/22/2008 when this is true this seleced row should be copy to txtFound.Text Here's the search
Dim x As Integer = 0 While x < DataGridView1.Rows.Count Dim y As Integer = 0 While y < DataGridView1.Rows(x).Cells.Count Dim c As DataGridViewCell = DataGridView1.Rows(x).Cells(y) If Not c.Value Is DBNull.Value Or Nothing Then
I have a big problem finding out how to delete a file in a folder when i dont know the name(s) on the folder before this one. Like this one, but what if i dont know the folder "test1" and "test2"?
I know how to call and get the folder path, but how do I get just the folder name selectedThe Code I have used so far is:
FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowNewFolderButton = True FolderBrowserDialog1.RootFolder = Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal FolderBrowserDialog1.Description = "Select the directory you want open
I am going through all the files as follows: For Each FI As String In System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(FolderBrowserDialog.SelectedPath, "*.jpg", IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories)' here I need to get the select path's folder name, which is the folder name the current .jpg image is on Next.
I'm making a personal movie launcher and I would like to know if it is possible for VB to search my video folder and add the title of all the films to my combobox. (so that I don't have to edit a xml file everytime)
I have a folder that contains .txt, .pdf, etc files.I want to check if the folder contains a .txt file.If yes, I have to perform some action, if no, no action will be performed.I have this sample code to do the above, but with the know .txt file name.
Private Function DetermineIfFileExists() As Integer Dim sFileName As String sFileName = "C:/text1.txt" [code]....
In my case, I will not know the exact file name of the .txt file.I need to search for a .txt file.
I have an application that has a list of string that needs to be search in a database table field to select rows with the same name and retrive the values of one particular fields that contains the file name with extention for that string. With this new generated text file, I pass the filename with the extension and search the folders that are listed in a txt file. All of this works fine.
Now I need a more simple version of this application, without using the database to get the filename with extension. Instead, read the text file with input strings, search in the folders listed in another text file(to know the location of the folders to search for the string). If any file that matches with the string in the text file, I need to copy those files to another folder.
when my program starts it opens a folder browser i want the use to browse to the theme folder then the program to load the pictures from the selected folder but when i go to the folder nothing happens and i can find anything on loading picture from the selected folder.
I thought this would be simple but clearly, I'm not understanding something right. I created a program where one selects a file. Then they type in the Directory the 'Test' folder is located in (C , D , E , ect) and then they click on another button that then transfers said file to the 'TEST' folder.[code]....
