Store Information In And Parse Using Streamreader?
Sep 7, 2011
I have a config file that I store information in and parse using streamreader. For example..
configfile.txt TEMPLATE NAME: mytemplatename TEMPLATEDIRECTORYPATH: C:TEMPWOOF.TXT
I had been doing a split function after the ":" but, that doesn't turn out so good once you add in file paths. I have turned to trying to grab the first ":" from the left using the "InStr" function which returns the char integer. I need a way to grab all the information on that line after the first ":".

I have an email account that receives various requests to get free materials, for different items. These emails will usually contain name, item, quantity of item, address, state, zip. What makes it difficult is that all the emails are different, unstructured, and the data is usually buried in the emails, i.e. a forwarded email.I want a way to get all the information and parse it into a ms sql database.I know there are products that would work really well like url... but at work we can't afford this.I was thinking of creating a webservice that would input mail data posted from a third party site like cloudmail.com into a secondary website and then maybe creating a ruby script that would crawl the messages and extract addresses, etc. Anyone know of a good, simple alternative, a custom script in ruby, php, vb.net or possibly an open source solution?

I want to store some string information in my application exe. The information should not be lost in when the application is closed or restarted. It should be like editing a text file in application resources.

I am trying to store confidential encrypted user information for my program on a single computer. I do not want the application to be copied on to another computer and be usable. So I was thinking about storing the information in the Registry but I read that that is a very unsafe location and is bad for more reasons then one. I started storing the information in the programs Settings.config file but I am not sure how to encrypt that information. The only thing I have gotten to work so far is storing the information in a XML file and encrypting that which has worked but I want the information to be more hidden and more secured.

I was wondering how you can copy information (from a webpage, for example) and store it in a string?Also, how would I take only one word of the string if there are spaces between words and I will always be removing the word with the same location in the string (for example, the last word in string).

I have an ASP.NET application. It resides within another ASP.NET application. I put my DLL in the other apps bin folder and have a subdirectory with my aspx files. I can't edit the main app's Web.config.
So where can I store configuration settings? For example, this is an app that will get deployed to various clients. I want to store the client name used for display in the headers and such. And the location of a logo file.

I am new to development and I am looking for some pointers. I have a sql 2000 database and a vb.net app. Right now the SQL username and password to connect to the database is stored in the VB application which is not convenient since we must change the password periodically. The user opens the app and enters the username and password for the vb application. Using the credentials stored in the application to connect to the sql server, the app checks the username and password stored in a user table in the database to determine if they are allowed to connect or not. For various reasons, it is not feasible to simply have the application username and password be the same as the database username and password. We must have only one database username and password and it must be changeable. Like I said, it is now stored in the compiled application which is inconvenient.

While trying to find an answer to my question, I came across a project called OTSe, which allows people to make they're own online 2d online games. The system is based on an open X, Y, Z square tile map. For the sake of easy understanding, lets say they're are 3 types of tiles. Tiles you CANNOT walk on, tiles you CAN walk on, and tiles that SLOW YOU'RE CHARACTER DOWN.The project team has created a API class for users to work with in order to develop tools. What I'm trying to do, using they're classes, is GET the all the tiles on the current floor I am walking on, and then display them in a tile grid on my form, changing they're color depending on what type of tile they are. If the tile is NOT WALKABLE, make the tile gray, if the tile IS WALKABLE, make the tile brown, and if the tile SLOWS YOU DOWN, make the tile red. I also need it to store the information of each tile, since tiles are objects, and have properties.

In my application I want the user to enter information that can be stored in BOTH an SQL database and and Excel spreadsheet. I tried research but can't find the code to include or import Excel
into my project.I've seen examples like:
Dim excelApp As New Excel.Application
Dim excelWB As New Excel.Workbook
etc....
but VB doesn't recognize it as a shared namespace. Is it possible to load a spreadsheet into a VB project with express edition?

I have a problem with a streamreader in visual basic 2008.I am updating a database from text files on an ftp server. The streamreader works fine until the file is more than 100,000 bytes long.It reads until it reaches this point and then just ends. No error message, it just reads to this point which happens to be 2 fields out of 6 in the database stream. My question is - does the streamreader have a limit? And if so what is a workaround?
Dim connString As String = "Data Source=" & pDataBase
conn = New SqlCeConnection(connString)
Dim strQuery As String = ""[code]......

I'm writing a program that basically loads an entire text file into a streamreader variable, then reads this variable line by line and parses and writes a line into a new text file. I'm VERY new and my knowledge is mostly self-taught, but I can't seem to get out of this one. It works for smaller files, but it appears to reach a limit in characters at some point because in a file of 900 lines, it stops writing about halfway through 800 and there are no errors, the program actually completes and the message box pops up.
There are a few things with this code I already know I should fix, such as creating the new text file name, it's messy, I just don't know how.

I need to have the ability to have a Global variable/class that stores some basic information about the currently logged in user including that user's preferences, security rights, UserID, etc. This information will be needed by any/every part of my application. In the past I have either used a Public variable/class in a vb.net module for this purpose. I'm trying to get away from my old ways of doing things and was curious what people currently do for this functionality.
I am thinking a singleton or 2 regarding preferences and security but am not sure if that is the best way to go.
EDIT: I asked this when I was too sleepy last night. This is an n-Tier WinForms application.

I want to build an application using VB, that is essentially an information system.The operation of this system would be as follows:1. User can select one of several buttons, each button being a different topic.2. When a button is selected, information about that topic appears on the right hand side of the form.3. The system allows information to be added by a user So, for example, if a user clicked on the button named 'Banana', information about the banana would appear on the form, where the user could read this info, scroll down etc.I would also like the user to be able to search a specific word like 'apple' and for information on the apple to appear.How could I implement this? I don't know how I would store paragraphs of information, and then search for it based on a keyword.

I am trying to come up with a way to store 3 pieces of information for each employee in the company on a daily basis. So for instance
Day 1: Joe, 8, 80
Day 2: Sam, 10, 90
Day 3: Bill, 5, 40
Day 4: Bob, 8, 40
Day 5: Sue, 2, 50
most of the applications that I build are Create, Read, Update and Delete type applications that don't really need arrays so I have almost no experience with either.

I am trying to parse a date from a textbox and store it in a date variable
Dim enddt_2 As Date = Date.ParseExact(txtenddt.Text, "dd/MM/yyyy", System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo.InvariantInfo) 'txtenddt.Text
expenddt_1 = enddt_2.AddDays(-1)
enddt = enddt_2.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy")
enddt is a Date variable and when i convert enddt_2 to a string i get the error as
Conversion from string "17/01/2012" to type 'Date' is not valid.
Let me clarify, if a value in textbox is 17/01/2012 than after parsing the value is changed to 01/17/2012 (my systems Region and Language are dd/MM/yyyy) in enddt_2 and when i try to convert to dd/MM/yyyy format and store into a date variable i get the above error. This error comes only for the dates after 12. i.e a date variable accepts a date in MM/dd/yyyy format.The dates before 12 work fine, i.e for all dates from 1 to 12 there is no error.How can i make enddt store the date in dd/MM/yyyy format.

Basically i am creating a console application that will create and store client information as a .txt file it is going okay but i have come across a slight hick up i want to use something on the lines of this .....
dim lastname as string
Do Until Integer.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), LastName) = False
Console.WriteLine("Invalid input, Please try again")
Console.Write("LastName:-")
[code].....
this works fine to trap out numbers from letters but the problem i am getting is when the program calls uppon LastName it is recording 0 and wanted to know if there is a way of getting past this ..... so basically i need a way to allow letter but not numbers and symbols and then dispay a pernolised error message but at the same time use Stream writer to save was the answer is in a .txt file.

The idea is that I have certain values stored in textboxes/listboxes and thus can I store the information in a spread sheet. And if I change the value in the spreadsheet can it also change the value in the application? I had one idea which was to make both store data in a txt file and read from that, but I'm not quite sure how to do that either.
