VbCrLf Keeps Replacing Text In A Text Box When It's Meant To Be Displaying The Next Block Of Text Below It?
Mar 14, 2011
I'm building a program in which it asks for your name and age and determines a ticket price based upon these details. I want it to show the person's name, then their age, (jump down a line) then their ticket price, and then it jumps down a line to show the next person's name, age and ticket price. Issue is, when it's meant to jump down to show the next person, it just completely deletes the last person's details.I'm using this line of code:
I am in desperate need of code that will allow me to search through a text file (.txt) and change the word "POLAR" to a string with a particular value, for examples sake lets say the string = "SUN"
I've been writing a weight program for flooded pressure vessels and I'm having trouble retrieving the data from the text files I've been saving. I know how to write the data to the text file, but retrieving it with OpenFileDialog is not so easy for me.The user has individual text boxes that they input strings or numbers into and when they save the file, each text box input is written to one line in the text file. For example, the first text box is for the username, therefore the first line of text that is saved is the person's name, the second text box is the customer, thus the second line in the text file is the customer name, and so on.
(Actually, the first line of text in the saved file designates whether English units were used or Metric units because when the user retrieves the saved file, English units will open one form and Metric units will open a separate form, so some If...Then statement will need to occur).I need to be able to read the first line, have either my "EnglishForm"form open or my "MetricForm" form open, and then have each subsequent line of text be displayed in their corresponding text boxes. I know I need to use ReadLine or LineInput, but I don't have a clue what to do.Assuming the syntax I've displayed below would just magically work (if only life were that easy), it would look something like this
If FirstLineOfTextInFile = "English" Then EnglishForm.Show() ElseIf FirstLineOfTextInFile = "Metric" Then[code]....
And so on...I read a lot of articles from the MSDN library and exhausted each link that I've looked through from Google and Bing, but most only retrieve data from the file to a single text box through some loop or streamreader and don't take into account multiple forms.
Not sure what I am doing wrong here but I have 2 buttons and a rich text box. The issue is when I click the second button to add text to the rich text box and it over writes the current text that is already in the rich text box. How can I code this second button so that the text is added to the rich text box and not replacing the current text?Here's my
Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Having trouble getting this to work. I'm trying to replace the name of an old company inside a text file "Matrix Construction" with it's new name "Walsh Brothers" but it's not going to hot.

My application outputs log text every so often and I need the user to be able to see the latest text at all times. I've tried a label, a text box and a rich text box, but I can't figure out a way to show the bottom-most text at all times.
Lately I have been programming an application in Visual Basic 2008, and on one of my Windows Application forms I have several text box forms, and with my code the way it is, none of them can be enabled, and they must all be set to Read Only.
Now if I put a big block of text in one of the Text Box's that extends past the parameters of the box, the scroll bar appears but doesn't scroll because of making it's enabled false. So here's my question, is there any way I can make the Text Box's scroll bar functional but still leaving the enabled set to false?
I have 2 questions regarding replacing certain text in a string which has been found using regular expressions.For example this is my string:"<span style="font-weight: bold">This</span> is <span style="font-weight: bold">2010</span>"
I have two lines of text which have long space (more like 14-15 spaces) before the actual text. I have tried simple replace to split and merge but nothing is working. I have also tried trim and the worst thing is that ASCII gives code of 32. But nothing works. Here is the text :
your heartburn symptoms Certain foods, such as fat, chocolate, caffeine and alcohol can aggravate heartburn symptoms 1 Certain foods (BTW it's not like it looks it is. In my actual richtextbox, when I select the space it gets selected as one big piece of space like a tab and i have also tried replacing vbtab but no use)
What I basically have is a small game which I want to count wins/loss/ties. I have no problem with the game aspect but need to know how I can replace a string in a csv file. IE: If Jim wins the game, his 5 needs to be turned to a 6. After googling quite a while I came across the replace() function, but it doesn't actually rewrite it back to the text file

The issue I have, is if I try to use any sort of IO function after this (WriteAllLines, streamwriter, etc) - I get a process is being used and can't touch the file (because its being read).Must I somehow create a new file with a copy of everything including the replaced string?
I am using the following code, but cannot get this to work. I have got it to work if the replacement is just of one word. So if the word test is replaced by mouse and the only thing in the file is the word test, it works.

On the main form of my application, I have a Rich Text Box which is where the user will be entering information. The text is black. then, i have a button which calls the dialogue "Notes" A dialogue appears, with a rich text box. the user should then be able to enter text into the box, click "OK", and the text entered into the Notes dialogue be inserted to the rich text box on the main form -- with the font colour "Red". The rest of the text in the main rich text box on the main form should remain black.

I'm new to VB and am trying to create something that will change specific words within a DB entry to a random word from a table. My goal is to change swear words to a random word in a separate table (like darn, dang, waterstopper, etc.) So far I have an "Input" table with the text I need to change and a "SwearRep" table with a list of words I need to replace in col "WBad" and their replacements in "WGood".
I'm a beginner who's been trying to learn Visual Basic for a couple of months now (no prior programming experience) and I was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to help a newbie like me out with something.
What I'm trying to do is make a Mad Libs-style program with a multi-line textbox and a button where I type in something like:
I am trying to replace a string which is actually different from line to line in a text file. I want to end up with a filename but without the path. For example:
My text file contains: C: est estingmorefilename.mpg C: est estfiles1 estfile4.mpg W: estinglocation estingmore estfiles9.mpg
VB Dim str As String = "07" & GetBetween("Stephen 0761234567", "07", vbNewLine)Dim op As String = "lol" TextBox1.Text.Replace(str, op)
GetBetween is just a function to match something between something else. That works fine, the string (str) sets as 0761234567 just like I want but when i try to replace the text it doesn't work.
Sorry if this seems like I haven't searched, however I have. Maybe I'm not understanding something or maybe I just haven't found what I need. Anyway my question is this. How would I find multiple strings in a text file and replace them? So far I've been able to find out how to replace a single string with:
I'll explain the scenario. I have a list containing character list and it's corresponding unicode characters(copied from CharMap and pasted in VB editor). For example:
Text = Unicode --> Unicode character --------------------------------------- K = U+004A --> J
