Split A Csv File Using 2 Delimiters But Ignoring 1 Delimiter At One Position?
May 30, 2012
I have a csv file which I am populating to a datagridview. I am delimiting it using "," and "space". My csv file has "," at first instance and "space" in next two instances. I want to delimit the first instance using "," and the second instance using "space" and the third instance though has "space" I wanna ignore that space.
My CSV file :

I want to split a string at a delimiter, but I don't want to discard the delimiter; It needs to become its own variable. [code] Is there any way of achieving this short of writing my own method?
lets say I have a string that I want to split based on several characters, like ".", "!", and "?". How do I figure out which one of those characters split my string so I can add that same character back on to the end of the split segments in question?
Dim linePunctuation as Integer = 0 Dim myString As String = "some text. with punctuation! in it?" For i = 1 To Len(myString)
I have an string that is returned from an xml file and looks similar to this name1="test 1" name2="test2" name3="test 3".I want to split this into 3 elements of key=value. I can't just split using a space because some of my values may contain spaces, e.g., test 1.So, I'd like to split the string using the " before the space. I've tried many variations but can't figure out the correct syntax to specify that my split characters are a " followed by a space. For instance, I've tried text.split({""" "}) but that returns elements split by " and ignores the space after the ".It shouldn't be this difficult. Can someone please help me with the correct syntax?
057359-001 Pip Drt329 Auburndale, Fl (aub) - Pompano Beach, Fl (pob) 1:0 10gbe Lan Phy. MyArr(0) ends up "057359-001" which is correct. MyArr(1) ends up "Pip" only which is incorrect.
I have the following problem in VB.net. I have a string like Dim str as String = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWX" now i want to add a delimiter from any one of them (Comma, Hyphen, Slash, Tab) into the string at the specified position like after every One, Two and so on characters. i WANT THE RESULTANT STRING LIKE
Okay so what I'm trying to do is get the filename from OpenFileDialog/SaveFileDialog, only without the full path, and dump said filename into a variable so I can use it for other things.
Using the Split function, I can get any part of the array between the delimiters (""), but what I'm trying to do is get all the information after the LAST delimiter in the string.
What would be the simplest way to find the n-th position of delimiter in a string.For example, say, I have a string variable called FullFilePath that contains the path of a file, like, C:SourceFiles<mthyr><subject><filename>.txt From this, I would like to extract out mthyr, subject, and filename, using the delimiter, "".
I was hoping string.IndexOf would let me find the n-th position of the delimiter "", in which case I can use the result to do a string.Substring. But it looks like IndexOf only finds the first occurence of a certain string, which means I would have to interate this somehow to look for the n-th occurence.
Or is there another method that will help me do this more efficiently.
A word document has several pages. How to split this pages into separate documents using VB.Net ?
I wish to automate this process.I used ms tutorial for basic learning: [URL]..But i do not know how to find page breaks in a document and move content of that page to separate document.
Is this function as efficient as I can make it or can it be done more efficiently? It takes a line of text and turns it into an array of values.If the value delimiter exists inside a string delimiter, that value delimiter is incorporatedinto that value. String delimiters are removed from the values, and so is any leading or trailing white space:
Public Function ParseStringDelimiters(ByVal Line As String, ByVal ValDelimiter As Char, _ ByVal StrDelimiter As Char) As Array
I'm currently busy coding a hangman game in VB.NET.As a wordlist, I have a textfile containing 1520 words, each one seperated by a new line. The best I could think of to get a random word is with a Randomize() function. Then getting the word from the line # which was randomly generated.
[Code]...
Is there any better way for me to extract the word from that random line? If not, what would be the delimiter I should use for this and how do I quickly change the breaklines into that new delimiter without resorting to Office?
Also, how can I use the textfieldparser to get the file from resources? When I tried using my.resources.filename instead of "filepath", it gave me an ArgumentException due to "invalid characters in the path".
I've been using VisualBasic 2008 Express Edition for a little while now, and I've gotten the hang of a few things like nesting and basics like that. I love learning everything I can about it, and so I'm working on a program that's got some things I'm not so familiar with involved. I'm not sure exactly what it is I'm looking for help with; as I'm sure some of you may know, there are many different ways to accomplish the same task--it's just that we don't always know the simplest solution, unfortunately. So anyhow, I'd like this program to do a couple of things... Firstly, to read in data from a text source and display it accordingly, and also to use that data in a list box and compile a new list from the original one.I've got a rather vague idea on how to do the first objective to put it nicely.I've read a little about delimiters and such, but the problem is that everywhere I look for tutorials or examples, I'm not really seeing exactly what it is I'm trying to do.Here's an example of the text I'm trying to parse/read/whatever it is:|Name of thing|some data|blah|blah blah|
In this example, I use the vertical bar character (I don't know what it's called; it's Shift + for me) to separate data in a pre-defined order. Let's say I wanted to use this for car information, I guess.[code]Like that, only many more times. What I can't figure out though, is A.) how to make VB read every line within the text file and B.) how to differentiate each of those sets of data so that I can read them into labels on the form. At this point, all I do know is that that vertical bar (this thing) is what's called the delimiter. Other than that, I'm left to pulling my hair out.
I'm trying to use VB.NET to parse a very large plain text file (2 GB). It is a database and has a field delimiter of SOH and a record delimiter of STX. I want to separate the fields and records of the file.
I would normally read each line of a text file and then use the split function to separate out the fields. I can't use this approach as there isn't always a delimiter on every line.
Is there any way to read a file until STX is found (rather than one line at a time)?
I am wanting to write an application which opens a delimited text file (either comma, pipe, colon, semi colon) and displays the file on the form. The same feature is in Excel when you import a data file. After selecting the file it shows the contents and you can choose the delimiter. Once the delimiter is chosen the data shown reflects this and updates to show the correctly formatted data.
Alright, im trying to load a text file into a list box using a delimiter(sp?)I have 2 list box's lstFirstName and LstLastName I have the code to load it into a list box
r = New IO.StreamReader("c:\test.txt") While (r.Peek() > -1) lstFirstName.Items.Add(r.ReadLine) End While r.Close()
And at the moment this will just load the whole list box, how can I use a delimiter to split it up?So John Doe in the text pad will show up as lstFirstName: John lstLastName: Doe Sorry if im not all that clear, if you dont understand I will try to explain it clearer.
i'm currently working on making a program that does all my normal pc clean up work for me. delete temp files, tif, cookies prefetch etc and i'm using code like this
vb.net Dim rKey As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey Dim path As String rKey =
[Code]....
I'm stuck in the cookiew folder since "index.dat" doesn't delete and it causes the form to crash.
I've made a rudimentary program that combines multiple files into one single file. Currently if I combine two .csv files together the output comes out correctly for what I need, which is a coma delimited file. When I try to combine two .csv files into a .xls file it doesn't format correctly (I get all the data separated by commas, but thrown into one column in the .xls file). For this reason I believe I need to add a delimiter.I'll post my code below.
How can I change the delimiter when writing my Access table to a text file? I was hoping it would be as easy as adding a similar option like we do for HDR=No; maybe Delimiter=|
Dim AccessConn As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|mydatabase.mdb")
AccessConn.Open()Dim AccessCommand As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand("SELECT * INTO[Text;HDR=No;DATABASE=" & userPath & "].[" & fileName & "] FROM tblMyTable", AccessConn) AccessCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() AccessConn.Close()
I made a program which uses a filesystemwatcher component, but it seems to record absolutely EVERY change made, and I want to set it to ignore some file types. How can I set the filter to ignore certain types? For example, .LOG files. I don't want it telling me that that file updates, cause it does it every second practically.
I just can't think of an easy way to do this. It seems easy, but I'm not just sure how to do this. I want the software to grab a random word inside the bracket "{}". The "|" is the delimiter. Here are some examples...
Input #1: {Hey|Hay|Hello} How {are|r} {you|u} doing? Output Example #1: Hey How r you doing? If I execute the code again, this would output...
I am having trouble figuring out how to parse a string with delimiters. I have a text box which the user inputs data or what ever. I need to figure out how to parse the string and display it in a listbox, each word in a single line. Here is what I have so far, my book doesnt explain parsing very well and I'm stuck
I am having some trouble including tab and space delimiters in my multiple delimiter code (see code below). It seems I can not just add the <vbtab> and <vbCrLf> codes into my delimiters list so I tried to replace them beforehand with a Clean String Function (also see code below) but it didn't seem to work. Ultimately, I would like to add any delimited text file to my datagridview.
The code below is working fine except for tabs and spaces (including next-to-each-other separators) I am using Visual Basics Express 2008.[code...]
Just what the title says. I have a listbox with varied entries, all in one format:name, email, phone, age
When an entry is selected, and when a certain button is clicked, I require the entry to be removed from the listbox and the four categories from the entry must each go into their assigned textboxes.
