Creating A Search Function To Search Through A Binary File?
Jan 5, 2010I'm creating a search function to search through a binary file and find a record based on the users input. Surprisingly, that isn't the problem! The problem I'm having is that as part of this I'm using a procedure to display results in text boxes, and I'm getting the error "Too many arguments to private sub display customer"I've encountered this error before, but never really knew what it was... Here is my code.
Private Sub btnSearch_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSearch.Click

Search Using XML File?
Jun 1, 2009When attempting to collaborate with other employees, it is necessary to contact them. CompanyX needs a tool that allows an employee to quickly get another employee�s contact information and general business context that employee works in. The tool should allow searching (including partial matches) by employee name or employee id. If multiple employees are returned by a search, a list of the employees matching the search criteria should be displayed with the following data for each employee: first name, last name, employee id, division (one division has many employees), organization (one organization has multiple divisions), and job title. If only one employee matches the search criteria (or if one employee is selected in the list described above), the tool should display full data. Full data for an employee consists of first name, last name, employee id, nickname, division, organization, job title, phone number, cell phone number, pager, USPS address, fax number, internal mail address.
Let me start with the basic of this: the search. I have never had to do a search using web services. With that said I have tried to apply what I know about doing a search from a database and came up with this
Partial Class Search
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Search For A Hex Byte In A File?
Aug 17, 2009I had made an app that opens a file and changes a hex byte then when I click another button it saves it.I am now thinking of making an app that will change some hex bytes to something else, but the catch is that not every file will have some of the hex bytes that others will. Like I want it to search for 71, 13, 31, and 11, and change them to 15, but not all files will have say a 71 or some might not have a 13 or a 31...Also, if there was a couple of bytes in a row that I needed to change, say F132, would I be able to search for all of that at once, and then change it to something like F133?

Basically, I have a very simple keylogger on my son's laptop to keep an eye on him. My hope is that I would make a program that would go through the .txt file, and if one of the keywords is found, then I would have the program execute a little something I have cooked up to warn to stop. The only problem is, I do not know how to search through the .txt file.

View 1 RepliesSearch And Replace A Very Large File
Dec 6, 2010I have a 133 Mb file which contains almost a million records. Currently, a user loads this file into KEdit (a great editor for working with large files) and changes occurrences of a dollar sign $ to blank and takes negative numbers represented as such with parentheses and changes that to a negative sign. That is, (5000.23) would become -5000.23. So the leading ( becomes a - and the trailing ) becomes a blank. I believe the only occurrences of ( and ) are around the numbers I want to change, so I don't have to worry about changing something that should have been left alone. Using VB.NET in Visual Studio 2008, is there a "painless" way to do this other than reading the file one record at a time and searching/replacing and writing the record out? While not really painful, I am worried about how long that will take (to run, not to code ). Is that a valid concern?
My long range goal is to automate many of the routine file preparation tasks my users do. We get an input file from 15 clients. The file can be in any format the client has chosen to give us, and it is our burden to reformat any errant fields into an acceptable format for insertion into our database.
Search Excel File For Values?
Oct 25, 2010I have a form with a couple of combo boxes. The first combobox adds items based on each row in an excel sheet.
Public Sub FetchExcelValues(ByVal ControlType As String, ByVal control As Object, ByVal xlApp As Object, ByVal xlWorkBook As Object, ByVal xlWorkSheet As Object, ByVal column As String, ByVal row As Integer)
[Code]....
This basically reads each cell in the specified column until it hits a blank cell. Then it takes the value of each cell and adds it as items to the first combo box. Now, what I want the code to do next is to take the selected item from this combo box and look for a match in another worksheet. When it finds a cell that matches, it should pick up the value from column B of the same row as the match. There might be more than one match as well, so every time it finds a match, I want to pick up the value of Column B of the same row and add THAT as items in the second combobox.
