Visual Basic :: How Can I Extract A .RAR File Using VB6??

Opening A File, Extract Data And Send A File Via Infrared
Dear Friends,

I am new to this forum and also new to Visual Studio. I need to produce a program which does the following...

1.Use System File Watcher to know that a file has been received in a particualr directory from a mobile phone.

2.Open that file with notepad (the file is not opened by notepad by default), Find the word 'Body:' and save the string found after it.

3.Send via infrared, a file '.jpg' loacated in a particular directory with the same string name as the one stored.

Can you kindly suggest to me some coding?
or at least some website where I can get some tips, tutorials, help.... Cause I don't have the MSDN help installed!

The coding I require is on how to open the file (which is arrived and systemfile watcher noted) with notepad..and how to extract data from it.

Thanks,
Franklin

Programittically Download A Zip File And Extract The Csv File Into A Bcp
This is a pretty tough one. There is a website PJM.com that contains energy pricing data in csv format. The file names are by date, ex. 20001129-da.csv The da is for Day Ahead pricing. the way the program is designed, based on the date, it creates a file with the same as the one the web site that is going to be downloaded into. The pprogram then takes the data from the website and inputs it into the file that the program creates with the same name using msinet.ocx and inet1. THIS WORKS JUST PEACHY.
The problem I am having is that past data is zipped up into a directory that contains 4 subdirectories and finally the last one contains the file. I am not sure how write a program that will extract the data from that zip so that it will be stored in the root directory where all of the other csv files are contained. I need some serious help on this one. Thanks in advnace.

Hi All,

I want to extract some lines from WP 5.1 documents and write the extracted lines to a CSV file for future import in a database or Excel file. All WP documents is build of several pages – and each page contains one (1) table with different structures. The lines I want to extract from, are all the rows that include 7 columns and where the first columns first character are a digit. Each row must be written as a line where the contests of each column are separated by semicolon. I don’t want to run or open any other programs then my own VB-app. If anyone know how to do this I would really appreciate the help! Thanks in advance!

Extract Image From File?
I'm looking into using DirectDraw for a skinnable program (yes, it's probably overkill, but it works so well) but I want the skin to be a single file and let it contain multiple images (so I only load in memory the ones I need) and also values for colors, text, and other information. I'm new with DirectX and I've used the CreateSurfaceFromFile to create a surface, but I really don't want to extract the image, save it to a temporary file, and load it in. I'd rather load it from a binary red directly. Is there a way I can get DirectX to see information in that sense as an image?

Extract Text From .doc File
Here is the first draft of my procedure to retreive but text from a .doc file, but it seems that embeded objets are a real hassle to remove from the text as I have not yet found then starting and ending quotes or chars delimiting the embeded object.
I would appreciate a hand on the subject

Code:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim fichier$, numfile%, textfromfile$, lastpos%, i%
Dim Remplacements$, Suppressions$
Dim TabSupp As Variant
Dim TabRemp

CommonDialog1.ShowOpen

If LCase(Right(CommonDialog1.FileName, 4)) <> ".doc" Then
MsgBox "Ce n'est pas un fichier .doc"
Exit Sub
Else
fichier = CommonDialog1.FileName
numfile = FreeFile
Open fichier For Binary Access Read As numfile
textfromfile = Space$(LOF(numfile))
Get #numfile, , textfromfile
Close #numfile

textfromfile = Right(textfromfile, Len(textfromfile) - 1536)
'and here I end up with text and embeded objects, I need to know where an embeded object starts and where it ends to be able to remove it from text

'verification des embed
Dim StartPos&, EndPos&, StartCount&, EndCount&, StartChar$, EndChar$

StartPos = 1
EndPos = 1
StartChar = Chr(19) '
EndChar = Chr(20) & Chr(1) & Chr(21)

'suppressions totale
Suppressions = "1,2,3,4,5,6,19,20"
TabSupp = Split(Suppressions, ",")
'remplacement espaces
Remplacements = "7,8,9,10,11,12,13,149"
TabRemp = Split(Remplacements, ",")

For i = 0 To UBound(TabSupp) - 1
textfromfile = Replace(textfromfile, Chr(TabSupp(i)), vbNullChar)
Next

For i = 0 To UBound(TabRemp) - 1
textfromfile = Replace(textfromfile, Chr(TabRemp(i)), Chr(32))
Next

Text1.Text = Trim(textfromfile)
End If

How Do I Extract Certain Fields From A Text File?
Guys

Please excuse me for this question, I know there is a real easy answer to this (I hope), but I have spent all day and none the wiser. I also read the I/O Tutorial by Gavin.

I have written a procedure which creates a text file with fixed width records. The data within the file is not delimited and always at a specific location in the file, i.e;

Record1 - "John Smith 10 Alphabet Street Somewhere ACity"
Record2 - "Paul Wilks 4 Forrest Road Anotherplace BCity"

Now I need to read the file, and actually be able to extract the individual parts of the file (like the First Name, Surname etc...) into variables/strings so that when I re-output the file I can re-order it, add/amend data and add delimiters as I see fit.

Im quite new to VB6, and from the Old School of Cobol where something like this is straight forward.

Thanks

How To Extract Data From A Text File??
Hi. Im relatively new at VB, so still learning. Im trying to build a program that will extract a number from a text file. The file gets populated automatically, with data in the following format.

09:47:18 Order 17000 boxes @ 15.30 for A15 order number 5182348 in regular market.
09:47:18 Trade 13228506 sold 3000 boxes @ 15.30 for A15 order 5182348 remaining 14000 Regular market.
09:47:18 Trade 13228507 sold 5000 boxes @ 15.30 for A15 order 5182348 remaining 9000 Regular market.
09:47:18 Trade 13228508 sold 2000 boxes @ 15.30 for A15 order 5182348 remaining 7000 Regular market.
09:47:18 Cancelled, Sell 7000 PCCL @ 15.30 for A15 order 5182348 in Regular market.

The first line always contains the order details.
The second line onwards contains details of each trade individually.
The last line contains details of any possible cancelled order.

What I need to extract is the total quantity of boxes sold. So from the second line, i need 3000, third line, 5000 and fourth line 2000. So i just need the total, which is 10,000 in this case.

Can anyone give me pointers on how to calculate this value accurately? Thanks a lot.

Extract A Single File With InfoZip
I'm using infozip to extract files from a zip:
http://vbaccelerator.com/article.asp?id=1424

Using this code:

Code:
Set m_cUnzip = New cUnzip

m_cUnzip.UseFolderNames = True

' Set the zip file:
m_cUnzip.ZipFile = App.Path & " his.zip"

' Set the base folder to unzip to:
m_cUnzip.UnzipFolder = "C: hisplace"

m_cUnzip.FileSelected(1) = True

' Unzip the file!
m_cUnzip.Unzip
But I'm not sure how to use FileSelected to extract a single file. The file I want to extract is build.dat

What exactly do you specify in the FileSelected property?

Extract Text, Sent To Excel File
I am a bondsman, and I have a text file that is sent to me, sometimes daily. It is in the format of a text file. The problem for me is that each record is 3 or 4 lines deep. I would like to export the data from this text file into an Excel worksheet.
The way the report comes to me currently isn't user friendly the way that it is.

I am expecially interested in the following items.
from the 1st record:

File Number: 06CR 052172
Defendant Name: Xxxxx,Xxxxxx,Xxxxxx
Bond: $2,000 Sec

There may be as many as 300 records to pull this data from.
It is always laid out in this manner. I can not change this.
Thanks for your help.

How Do I Extract Only Certain Data From A Text File?
At the suggestion of Martin Liss, I've started a new thread for this question.

I have a text file that contains a lot of verbiage, followed by data that is arranged in rows and columns (ala Excel), which is then followed by verbiage and then rows and columns of data and so on. The verbiage can be any length, as can the rows and columns of data also be of any length.

What I want to do is to, when a group of data in rows and columns is detected, take that data and put it into an Excel file, and when the next group of data is detected, place that data into a new Excel file, and keep on doing this until the txt file EOF is encountered.

One issue is that the row and column data can span multiple pages, which means that page headers and footers can be interspersed throughout the data I want to extract.

If I have a group of data that spills from one page to another page to another page and so on, how might I keep all of the data in one file while records are being processed?

I've attached a small sample file for review.

If anyone can help with this overall question, I sure would be happy to hear what you all have to say. Thanks so much in advance!! Looking forward to it.
