I'm using VB.NET 2005 Pro to write a batch file to empty folder contents, but I'm having problems putting quotations around the parameters.Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnTNFCleanup.Click Create an instance of StreamWriter to write text to a file.

I am tring to write a batch file to run a DOS program under a GUI as below
My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(c:convert3.bat", "aften c:movie.WAV c:movie.AC3", False)
When the batch file runs
C:>convert3.bat
C:>aften c:movie.WAV c:movie.AC3
'aften' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Why the extra data tacked onto the front of the bat file..The below code works but is more lines...
Dim fs As New FileStream(MyFolder & "convert2.bat", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write)
Dim s As New StreamWriter(fs)
s.WriteLine(batstring)
s.Close()
I've used System.IO to check if files exists/copy/delete in the past but I have not been able to check if the file is empty?
I have two text files, and i want to add a check to see if both files are empty, if they are empty then I want to exit the application.
Not sure if there is a better way to do this but this isn't working. Just trying to run a batch command "query session" and put it into a text file using "> sessions.txt". When I run this command in a command prompt it works fine and spits the output to the text. I've tried just making the batch file in the same folder and executing that with Process.Start, still empty text file. Tried modifying the loop and no go also
Imports System.IO

View 3 Repliesthe first problem is getting my program to load rss feeds from other websites mostly here:http:[url..... im trying to load it using the webbrowser. i want the rss feed to load right onto the form. im positive that its possible. i have the imports system.net in my code already for xml documents.the second is i cant get my program to write into a file that is several folder deeper into the bin folder.[code]......
ive tried playing with the code moving around the folder names, making sure there capitals are correct, etc. but nothing works. it creates the file in the wrong spot.
What i am trying to do is open a save file dialog and write to a .txt firl the contents of my listview. so far:

i have this, but i'm not to sure how to write to the .txt file i know i need to use a for each to loop the contents of the list view
EmpNoteFileName = EmpFileDir & SEmpID & ".TXT"
FileOpen(EmpNoteFileNum, EmpNoteFileName, OpenMode.Output)
txtAddEmpNote.Text = "LAST UPDATED ON " & DateString & vbCrLf & txtAddEmpNote.Text

View 4 Repliesi'm having a problem w/this conversion code. as the title describes, the first file converted returns w/empty content, but w/the file name.the rest of the files are ok. here is the code, just paste in form and run.. i meant, run the app. ;o)
Public Class Form1
Private btn As New Button With {.Location = New Point(0, 0), .Size = New Size(59, 23), .Text = "txt folder"}[code]...
i just need to convert the files and have them return complete.there is an invisible richtextbox, which i needed to show files being converted in a past project..now, i need to get rid of that richtextbox if possible. too much extra work for a user's p.c...i am not at all familiar with changing extensions, etc..
i have 6 text boxes on a form the contents of which changes depending on a list box, i also have a button which will be used to create a log file, my question is how do i write the contents of the 6 textboxes to a new text file, and on separate lines in the txt file when the log button is pressed.
EDIT: preferably also needs to use the save file dialog so user can choose file name and location to save to.
Instead of creating a listbox to hold the names of one's favorites, I've made it so when you add a bookmark it adds it under the directory (yourusername)/bookmarks. (yourusername) is represented by login.usernametextbox.text. Now I've added a filelistbox to the form and want it to display the contents of the bookmarks folder only without the file name extensions. Just the title. Then when a user clicks on the title it navigates to that specified file by opening a new instance of a browser form. Here's what I have so far:
Private Sub Bookmarks_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
bmarks.Path = Login.UsernameTextBox.Text + "ookmarks"
End Sub[code]....
I have 4 list boxes and I am trying to write the contents to a .txt file to load back into the list boxes. I am having trouble with the code to write all the contents into the file. Should I make a file for every list box individually? Or just one file? Here is the code I have so far...
