How To Replace Special Characters While Creating Xml File From Text File?
Hi,

Creating Text File
This should be a simple one for you. This is my first attempt at using a text file of any sort in my program. I wan the user to be able to export the values from my program, so that they can inport it to another program, or copy of the program. I am keeping all my information in an Access 2003 DB, which works fine, but when I go for the export, do I have to use specific code to create the text file, or does the open command automaticly create the file if it does not exist?

I am going to be using the Common dialog control to open/save the files.

Thanks for any help.

Creating A UTF-8 Text File.
I need to create and write strings to a UTF-8 file.

I tried using:


Code:
strMyString = strconv(strMyString, vbUnicode)
print #1, strMyString


Then, I tried creating the utf-8 file manually and then appending to it. But my accented characters still aren't coming out right.
(I'm using vb to process and rearrange the text so I can use it w/ another program.)

Next I tried using adodb:


Code:
Set objStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
objStream.Charset = "utf-8"
objStream.Open
objStream.Write strMyString
objStream.SaveToFile "C: est.dat"
objStream.Close

But that seems to have created an ANSI file.

Is it possible to do what I want?

Creating A Text File.
Is there a way to just create a plain text file with VB? I don't want the quotes and EOF mark that appear with sequential files or the markings you get with random access, just the plain text from a string, nothing else.

Creating A Text File
I did a search in this forum, but none of them answered my question.

What I am looking for is, once the program runs, it will ask the user to type a text file name, and then it will use the Open "strNameFile" For Input #1

Do I require to create a string in the Sub Main, such as

Public strNameFile As String

Sub Main()

strNameFile = InputBox("Please enter name of text file", "Name required")

Form1.Show

End Sub

I don't know how to get the program to create a text file, but I thought I should use 'CreateTextFile' method? Any suggestions?

Many thanks!

Creating A Text File
I need to create a text file that is named from a text box the user Enters into, then add the text from another text box into that file.
So, for example.
in TextBox1 the user Enters "MyFile"
and in Textbox2 they enter "MyStuff"

It would create a text file named MyFile.txt and have "My Stuff" on the first line of the file, i've looked at some tutorials but they all seem to use an FSO to create a file named by the program itself, and not the user-entered text.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Creating A Text File
Hi All,

I've spent the last 45 minutes searching the forum looking for a way to create a file. I found a thread on excel but that was about it.

I know that I can use the file system object but I want to keep my program as "light" as possible.

As you know you can delete a file by using the command

kill

Is there a similar command for creating a new file.. something like

born or whatever.

I'm creating a browser. When the users save their favorites it goes to a text file on the drive. When they want to clear their favorites they click the button labeled clear (clear has the kill command to delete the text file on the hard drive. Right after that command I need a new file created so it can receive the new favorites that the user designates).

Is there a simple command like Kill?

Thanks

Creating A Text File
I want to create a textfile from excel. So I entered the following code (the vb code not the script).
This works. But now I want to add the javascript as text that you see below in my textfile. How do
I do this in visual basic for excel. You may assume that there is nothing wrong with the script.
The only thing that needs to be done is pasting the text of the script into the textfile. My problem is that visual basic does not see this as text but as code.

Sub create_file()
Dim fso, txtfile

Set fso = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
Set txtfile = fso.createtextfile("c:WindowsDesktop estfile.txt", True)
txtfile.write ("At this place the script has to appear")

txtfile.Close

End Sub

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
var buttons = new Array("Column 0","Column 1","Column 2","Column 3","Column 4")
var data = new Array(
new Array("r0c0","r0c1","r0c2","r0c3","r0c4"),
new Array("r1c0","r1c1","r1c2","r1c3","r1c4"),
new Array("r2c0","r2c1","r2c2","r2c3","r2c4"),
new Array("r3c0","r3c1","r3c2","r3c3","r3c4"),
new Array("r4c0","r4c1","r4c2","r4c3","r4c4")
)
var table = new SortableTable("myTable",5,5,1,"100%","CENTER")
table.setData(data)
table.setButtons(buttons)
// Use table.setNumeric(n) to sort column n in numerical order.
table.display()

Creating A Text File ...
Is it possible within VB to create an output file as an Excel Workbook ?

I am currently creating a .CSV file, which is opened in Excel, but then the user has to do a SaveAs on it.

It would be better if the file I created was already recognised by Excel as being an Excel file.

I tried calling the output file file.XLS, and used vbTab instead of a comma between the fields, but Excel still treats it as a text file.

Can this be done, or do I just leave it alone ?

Creating Text File Without Using FSO
Hi Everyone,

I've got a small program that outputs user entered data in a text file. I've been reading lately that some administrators delete the scrrun.dll (Microsoft Script Runtime) from their users' PCs for security reasons. If this were the case, my current configuration wouldn't work, as I'm using the FSO & and that dll.

I'm looking for an alternative method for creating a new text file, naming it, and adding lines based on string variables that are determined at previous steps in my code.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Problem With Creating A Text File
Hi

I got a problem with creating a text file.

My piece of code:

HuidigPad = "C: emp est.txt"
Dim fso as FileSystemObject, Dim fil as File
Set fil = CreateTextFile(HuidigPad, True)

When i run this my compiler says there is an "Type Mismatch error" error in the third line. But when I look in the temp folder the file is created. I tried different folders to place it an I also tried tot run it with the value of HuidigPad in the firts parameter of Createtextfile. The code does create the file but it gives an error.

Note
-HuidigPad is an Global Variable

Creating A Text File From Data.
I have a file which i want to turn into a text file with this format


NAME ------- PART 1 ------- PART 2 ------- PART 3 -----PART 4

B. Johnstone    Dancing        Cheeseburger        152    (157)
B. Jimstone    Decapitated    Cheeseburger        012    (057)

With the following lengths
Name = 20 characters
Part 1 = 25
Part 2 = 25
Part 3 = 3
Part 4 = 5

So in theory each row should be exactly 78 characters long...
How can you do this?

Creating An Array Or A Table In A Text File..
Hello everyone,

I am back with a new problem....I am working with csv files with "," delimiters...I dont have a correct database structure to store the data into yet as My Prof. is still working on the database..I think my mail is going to be really very lenghty and plz be patient while reading this...

Let us assume the following is the data in a csv file:

PHP Code:




Name, Silpa Parnandi
Place, Morgan Town
-
Working on, Visual basic
Educational Background:
            Degree, Major,Place
UG, Electrical,India
MS Electrical, USA
-
Problem, Somebody plz help me with this.







I have some csv files and when I click on a command button I can get all the csv files of the specified path displayed in a list box.. When I click on another command button, what I want is, I want an array to be created or a table to be created which can read all the data in different csv files and stores it in the array or if possible a table..

If the above csv file is one of the csv files , I want the data to be stored as rows and columns and the first row should consist of the common features in all the files...for ex:


PHP Code:




Name               Place       Working on  Degree   Major
Silpa Parnandi  Morgan Town  Visual Basic  UG       Electrical
                                           MS       Electrical
Arun Joshu       Texas               J2EE  UG       Comp
                                           MS       Comp







The first row is same for all the csv files and the next rows are populated with the data from different csv files..The first csv file contains info about Silpa Parnandi and the second csv file contains info about Arun Joshu...

NOTE: The third line of the csv file is just "- "and it seperates the different fields in the csv files.."Educational Background" is a field under which there are many subfields as Degree,Major etc..I have these type of data in my csv files...I used Split function() and Replace() function to read the data from the csv files and store that as a text file and all I could get is a text file in the following format:


PHP Code:




Name Silpa Parnandi
Place Morgan Town
-
Working on Visual Basic
Educational Background:
            Degree Major Place
UG Electrical India
MS Electrical USA
-
Problem Somebody plz help me with this








I dont get the UG and MS exactly under Degree and same with the Major and Place fields..This is because the csv files are in that way and just by delimiting a "," I dont think I can get them in a proper order...I want to store the data of all the csv files by using a button click as shown ..Can I get a text file created with all the data in the all the csv files in a listbox by a button click event??..Is there anyway to do that??..I really dont know how to start with it...Can somebody plzzzz help me..Its really very very important for me...

Plzzz help me..

Thanks a lottttttttttttt in advance


Have a Great Weekend
