So, for my computing project I have to import csv files (got that bit working, got it opening up and displaying in a text box) and search through it to find criteria that I want.
Anyways, I am having trouble splitting/parsing the csv file so that it will display with no comma's (in a kind of tabbed form) e.g. at the moment it displays as

But I want it to display it like

What is the best method to parse through a Comma Delimited .dat file? I am using VS2002 and VB. My code will be looking for certain placeholders within the files and pulling the value from that element to populate a table in SQL2000.Here is a sample of one row that is in the database so far:17768 01 1770 003 2009-11-01 00:00:00 5065.14 NULL NULLEach spaced section is taken from a part of the .dat file, but being manually keyed in for now. My job is to automate the reading of the file, and writing it to the SQL database.Here is a sample of the flat file I am trying to parse:
0001,00003470,091411," "
0002,1000,0037707839,0000304220,0000282256,00000387
0003,1000,006795,0004,00000000,0000,00000000,0000,00000000,0000
There are about 12-13 'records' in each flat file, each row being a record as the sample shows.
So I'm trying to split a "," from an array that I parsed after the xml file is loaded. I tried several things.[code]

I am new to VB.NET and xml and I am trying to parse the xml file of format mentioned below and display it using textbox in VB.NET. But I am not able to parse it. Code snippet to parse the xml shown below :

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.

View 2 RepliesI am trying to use the Boot log and I really don't have much experience with parsing and comparing. What I need to do is to get only the minutes and seconds time stamp from a string similar to this from the boot log
Did not load driver SystemRootSystem32DRIVERSsrv.sys
Loaded driver SystemRootsystem32DRIVERSMpNWMon.sys
Microsoft (R) Windows (R) Version 6.1 (Build 7600)

Loaded driver SystemRootsystem32
tkrnlpa.exe
Next once I get the minutes and seconds subtract 5 seconds
Next compare the resulting minutes and seconds to the minutes and seconds from a second file and display the result
EXAMPLE: If you take the minutes and seconds from above 40:47 - 5 = 40:42.
Next you get the minutes and seconds from the second file and you get 40:59
So you wind up with 40:59 - 40:42 = 00:17
I'm trying to parse csv file with VB.NET.csv files contains value like 0,"1,2,3",4 which splits in 5 instead of 3. There are many examples with other languages in Stockoverflow but I can't implement it in VB.NET.Here is my code so far but it doesn't work...

View 2 RepliesI have an excel file i want to copy all the row of that excel file into a .txt file.In the txt file the separator is comma.
View 8 RepliesI decided on a comma separated data file, saved as a text file. This is for data that will not change. After loading the data from the text file; then throughout the lifetime of the program the data can change. The data can then be saved back to a different binary file. The idea is to have a save state system going.Does anyone have a suggestion or is opposed to the idea. Is there a simpler way to organize something like this?

I've got a problem reading in a Tab-Delimited text file. There's an extra tab in one of the fields its reading it thats not a delimiter, and it's throwing off me reading the file into a table. This specific file does have quotations around that field though.

View 19 RepliesI have I text tab delimited file. in every line of that file at the same position in every row of the file I will have a bit that I would want to compare against 23 values (I will call them criteria). So if on every row the string I need matches one of tjhese values then that row will be written in File1.Txt if that value doesn`t match any of the criteria the whole row will be sent to File2.txt.
So far managed to get the original file written in the same format in a newly created file.
how to get the functionality I described working but am stuck with correct syntax.
Here is what I have so far:

RichTextBox1.Text = ""
Dim d As New StreamReader(fs)
[Code]....
Now I will need to declare every single row in RichTextBox1 as String then will have to get the bit I need will have to declare that as well(I will need from every row the string taht is between characters 96 and 104), also where do I keep the 23 criteraia values.

I am currently working on a visual basic console application in Visual Studio 2005 which takes various csv files from an osCommerce web shop, processes them and writes the data to TAS Books accounts software with the aid of the Infoplex COM module.
I have 2 functions, one reads each line of a csv file into an array, and the second function uses Regex to split the lines array into the various fields before they are added to a structure.
There are something like 5000 records (lines) in the csv file, one example is as follows;
[Code]...
My problem is that due to the formatting of the product description in the example csv line above, it fails the Regex match and therefore fails to read.
I know this is because my pattern is wrong, but I'm not sure how to solve it, I think all I really need is for Regex to split the line by the "," between each element, this might be a little difficult because some of the descriptions contain both , and " but never one after the other.
I am exporting a directory list from a FTP directory to a text file, I would like any suggestions how best to read and split the information detailed on each row in the text file as information isn't Tab Delimited (which i have code for if it was) and the number of spaces between each attribute is different.

View 1 RepliesI have a large tab delimited text file to process each day (usually around 25 mb) consisting of usually well over 100,000 lines. The file is actually made up of about 9 or 10 reports separated by "END OF REPORT". I'm wanting to write each individual report to it's own text file.

View 1 RepliesIm trying to read a text file line by line and place each line in a separate Combobox. right now with my code i can only get it to print lines in separate message boxes.

if i replace the MsgBox code with Combobox1.text = (strArr(count)) i get nothing.
I have a delimited text file, let's call it models.txt and it's delimited by a comma with carriage returns.
example:
21,Z920081
22,Z920082
59,Z930023
120,Z930027
I'm trying to input this into an array and then a combo box using:
dim item as integer
dim array() as string
dim ifile as integer

What I want to do is to display the right part of the delimited text (Z920081, Z920082, etc) in the combo box. But when you select the item in the combo box, I want it to use the left part of the delimited text (21, 22, 59, 120, etc) as a variable for other use.
