HOW TO SEARCH or FILTER MYSQL DATA IN TEXT BOX & WILL DISPLAY TO THE LISTVIEW
View 10 RepliesHow can I combine multiple *.txt files in a specific directory into one txt file in another directory using VB.NET? (And to delete blank lines at the end of the new file)
I know how to do it in vbscript:
Const ForReading = 1
Const ForWriting = 2
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objOutputFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile("C:logsimportoutput.txt")

View 7 RepliesSimply put, I have a text file full of reg values. I want to search the text file for X number of reg values. I want to then, have those values and their dword values (whole line + next 3 to 4 lines in the file) listed in either another text file or an Excel spreadsheet. Regardless of the format, I would like to have the values sectioned off for each of the values searched (probably tables of some sort).[code]...
View 1 Repliesmy knowledge of VB.net is limited and i'm really trying hard to figure this problem out...
what i did was create a list box and populate it with a directory ("C:Documents and Settingsuserfolder1")...
once the listbox displays the files from the directory, i want to select a certain file and that file will be opened up in a rich text box.What i found to display the directory in a listbox is:
Dim directory As New IO.DirectoryInfo("C:Documents and SettingsjtanDesktopRECV")
Dim diar1 As IO.FileInfo() = directory.GetFiles()
Dim dra As IO.FileInfo
Dim files As String

i'm currently making a client database program for work that stores data in multiple text files (so that the information won't be confused as to which info belongs to who in the database). Each client has his/her own text file, which isn't really a problem although i realize it's a bit messy. A listbox holds items, each item a person's name.When the listbox selected index is changed, the streamreader opens the corresponding textfile, which is as such: "John Doe.txt", and populates the correct textboxes with the information stored in "John Doe.txt".What I'm unfamiliar with is implementing a search function.
1. search query entered
2. streamreader reads through all txt files in a directory looking for matching keywords.
3. if a match is found in a txt file, it looks at the name ("John Doe.txt"), gets the corresponding listboxitem, and finally, once the textboxes have been populated with the info in the file, highlights the matching keywords.
4. then i figured if there was more than 1 match over more than 1 txt file, you could repeat the process and skip to the next match via the tab key (like the find feature of a WebBrowser or other such application).
What i don't understand is how to read multiple text files, search in keywords, highlight the matching keywords, or the tab function..I know that's a lot to ask on a forum, but I had nowhere else to turn.
I have a listview, it's view is Details and it has gridlines, in that listview, I am including addresses with multiple lines (ie.):
John Doe
123 Street Dr.
City, State, 123456
and would like for it to display that way, instead of:
John Doe123 Street Dr.City, State, 123456
I'm sure this is something simple, but I just can't figure this out.
one of the BIG hurdles in my simple project, making a search engine. I don't know how at all. The search engine need only to search in one Directory with its sub directories and txt files for criteria, and display the results, with option open from the results. any basic code or example maybe?
