Lists -> Text Boxes
Hi,
I'm relatively new here, and just wondering how I could go about pasting an item from a list into a text box. I'm working on a specialized text editor, and it's fully functional as-is, but I'd like to add this, because this project's designated audience ( IRC scriptors, if you must know <g> ) uses a lot of the same words/phrases, and I'd like to make it a matter of double-clicking the item you want to paste it into the text editor; also handy when you don't know exactly what you want.

Adding Text To Combobox Lists
I have a combobox in my program. Under -list- it already has 4 movies.
What I want to do is to add a textbox that a user can use to type in names of other movies and then he/she can hit an "add" command button and this will add the text typed from the textbox into the list.
Does anyone know what the code would be for this?
Comparing Two Text Lists - RESOLVED
I have a program that imports a comma delimited text file into a database. In an effort to prevent bad data from getting updated, I want to validate the incoming file before processing. It shouldn't be too bad, since the incoming file has the first line with the field names, for example: "firstname","lastname","title".
In my program I have a list of the field names, in the correct order. For example, "lastname","firstname","ssn","title".
I can easily check the first line of the file and see if it matches, but what my users want is more detail if it doesn't. Using the above examples, it should flag that the incoming file is missing the "ssn" field. And it should also indicate that while the "firstname" and "lastname" are in both lists, they are in a different order.
So this is not just a matter of "does an item exist in another list", but "is it in the same position?"
I've searched and found many posts related to comparing lists, but not as fussy as my users are.
I figure the first step is to parse the two lists into arrays, so I have:
VB Code:
a(0) = "firstname" b(0) = "lastname"a(1) = "lastname" b(1) = "firstname"a(2) = "title" b(2) = "ssn"a(3) = "address1" b(3) = "title"a(4) = "address2" b(4) = "address1"a(5) = "city" b(5) = "address2"
and I figure I need to go through each array, checking if the value exists in the other array.
Any tips / pointers are appreciated.

Using Custom Resource Files - Text Files (RESOLVED)
Hi
In my program i have a file, say readme.txt, that contains alot of information about the program. When i create a newer version of my program, i would like to just distribute the exe file and not the readme.txt file ( which would also be updated ).
So the way i thought of doing this is adding it in a resource file, so when i compile, the readme.txt is compiled into the exe.
Now the only problem i have is that i dont know how to retrieve the data from the readme.txt file thats stored in the resource file.
I assume its something like this
VB Code:
text1.text = LoadResData("IDName", ? )
but i dont know what to put in the second parameter, the only constants i can use are
vbresBitmap
vbresCursor
vbresIcon
and none of them are obviously it
or am i doing this wrong?
Thanks
Deleting Text Files Or Text From Files!
If you've never used the Kill statement before, the following are needed for this to work properly :The Path to the fileThe full file (the extension is important here)The string of the file must be enclosed with double quotesSo, for the above :
Code:
Kill "c:my documentsfile.txt"
Should do the trick.
The following will check if the file exists, if it's open, then will kill it :
Code:
Select Case Len(Dir$("c:my documentsfile.txt"))
Case 0
Msgbox "Where'd it go - no file found here !"
Case Else
If (Open "c:my documentsfile.txt" for output as #1) = 0 then
Msgbox "The file's already open, what're you playing at ?"
Else
Close #1
Kill "c:my documentsfile.txt"
End If
End Select
Binary Files Are Just ASCII Text Files... Why?
I have very little dealings with reading/writing files using binary access. I've always used simple Input/Output as I've only had small tasks to do with files.
I have read many times that when you write out raw binary data to a file and open it up, it looks like a bunch of gibberish. I'm not seeing this.
Here is some sample code of what I'm doing
Code:
Dim x As Long
Dim b(1 To 1000000) As Byte
Dim ff As Long
ff = FreeFile
For x = 1 To 1000000
b(x) = Int(Rnd * 255)
Next
Open "c:inary.txt" For Binary As #ff
Put #1, 1, b
Close #ff
Again, just sample code... what I am really doing is writing my game map data to a file. I put it in a byte array just like b() is.
However, when I open this file up in my text editor, I see everything in ASCII characters.
What happened to the "gibberish" I am supposed to be seeing?
If I did this for example instead
Code:
b(x) = Int(Rnd * 26) + 65
I would see all capital letters when I viewed the file.
Subsequently I am reading the file into my byte array like this sample code
Code:
'Fill the temp array with the file contents
Open "c:inary.txt" For Binary As #ff
ReDim b(LOF(ff))
Get ff, , b
Close #ff
Am I missing something, or is what everyone calls "gibberish" just random ASCII characters they see?
I also write other files that contain mostly text (which I convert to byte arrays). These open as plain text files which are easily readable.
Any input of how I can write "bytes" to files that dont show up as ASCII when opened with a text editor?
Thanks

Processing Text Files (FINDING AND REPLACING DATA INSIDE A TEXT FILE)
Hi
I would appreciate if some one help me out in finding an answer to this.
I am a new user of visual basic and have been stuck in writing a code / project for finding and replacing a data from a text file ( input file to an application).
The part of file sample which need to be replaced is below
SCJ 1 NAME "" TYPE FIXED_TIME CYCLE_TIME 61.0 OFFSET 0.0
SIGNAL_GROUP 1 NAME "" SCJ 1 RED_END 2.0 GREEN_END 26.0 TRED_AMBER 0.0 TAMBER 4.0
For example I need to replace 61.0 to 91.0 and 26.0 to 43.0.
The data in file is random and can come at any line number, one of my other concern is how to locate the line number, I have no clue for that.
Please help me in working this out.
Best Regards

*RESOLVED* Using Text File As String Input For Opening Other Text Files
OK, I've been banging my head trying to get this one little piece to work (that I had working prior to a loss of power on Friday) but I cant remember the syntax I used to get it right.
What I'm doing is opening 1 text file and using it as the input in a loop to open and parse mutiple text files to a text box.
Heres the part that doesn't work;
Code:
Open "rbt.txt" For Input As 1
Do Until EOF(1)
Open " " & rbt.txt & ".txt" For Input As 2 'THIS IS THE PART THATS not working !
Line Input #2, slist
s = s & slist & vbCrLf
Upt_log_txt.Text = s
Loop
I know its a syntax (read as placement) issue but I cant get the right combo down.

Newbie-Opening And Saving Text Files In Text Boxes
I'm trying to find a way to save text from a text box as a .txt file or .rtf and then be able to retrieve files of similar type and open them in a text box on my program. There must be a way to do this, I'm just not able to figure it out. Help?
Remove Text Controls From Text Files *Resolved*
I have an application the reads a fixed field/length text file (.txt) via FSO and TextStream.ReadLine. It has a record length check that fails sometimes because of line feeds. I'm using:
strTextLine = Replace(strTextLine, vbCrLf, " ")
strTextLine = Replace(strTextLine, vbCr, " ")
strTextLine = Replace(strTextLine, vbLf, " ")
but I'm still getting length errors occasionally. Are there more to check for then this? Is there a better way?
The field causing me problems is text from an outside application that allows the users to enter in freeform text.
Thanks!
Someone told me there was a vbTab and I also needed to pad with two spaces instead of one for the vbTab to make up for it being removed. The rest are one byte.
Seems to be working fine now.
Help Splitting Text File Into Numerous Text Files
Please Help!!!
I have a large text file which containts a few thousand lines which are seperated by unqiue headers. The number of lines between these headers belong to that header. I want to be able to import this large file normally 2MB in size and based on each of the headers, split the file into a number of smaller files based on the headers and give the file name the name/number of the header.
This is how the file looks if you paste it into notepad:-

There are three headers in this file which means the program should produce three seperate text files based on the header names i.e.
11101H 05/0600003
11292H 05/0600007
22051H 05/0600007
The file names will be called 11101, 11292 and 22051 respectively and the 05/060003 etc.. will be included in each file created as this states the number of records in each file and thje 05/06 is the year identifier....
Any ideas how I can do this??????
Combining Files To Together (TEXT Files)
Hi, guys got a small problem, were I need to combine all these text files in a specific folder into one big text file, using visual basic. The names of these text files vary eg. "01Dec.08.00" or "03Dec.16.00", as you may see they will be all .00 files. I would like with the push of a command button, combine all these .00 files (no matter how many files or actual names, they will always be .00 files though!) in this specific folder into one .asc file or .txt file to be saved in another specific folder.
Currently i have a batch file that can do this and its code for it is as follows if it helps at all:
Code:
copy c:aaComGodata.00 c:aaComGodataA.00
copy c:aaComGodataA.00 +c:aaComS1*.*
COPY c:aaComGOdataA.00 c:aaComGOdataA.asc
Form the code above, all the combined data is saved into dataA.asc.
Ive tried to explain my situation as much as possible, if neccassary will provide more information, but if anyone can help it would be very much appreciated
Thnx, Boz
Catch Up Text (Merging Text Files)
I am developing a program that will compare two text files and fill in what one text file doesn't have. For example:
[Text file 1]
Hello
world
[Text file 2]
Hello there,
Hello again
world
I would have the program check each text files. If they aren't the same then make them the same. So it would compare each text file line by line, and if there is something in between two lines that isn't there in one text file it would put it there. And if there's something after a certain word than it would add it based on the line numbers. Here's some pseudo code:
(Program scans the line)Hello
(Program scans the line)Hello there,
(Program decides whether the line numbers are the same and adds "there," since they are)
(Program scans the line)world
(Program scans the line)Hello again
(Program decides whether the line numbers are the same and tries to find similarites in files)
(Program scans the line)world
(Program determines "Hello again" belongs in between Hello and world)
(Program determines that the file has ended)
How could I do this? Heh, I'm not very sure...

Creating Text Files And Saving Text To Them.
This is the best I can find to create a textfile and save a string variable's contents to it. Logically it doesn't make sense to me since you would first need to "create" a file before "opening" it, so either I just don't get it, or this is wrong.
Either way, it's not working, and generates the error: Run-time error '52': Bad file name or number
What am I doing wrong?

Using Lists
apologies if this is very basic, but i have only started using vb on monday and am doing a new project for my company using it.
my problem is that i am using a button on my form (in access) which will call a new form with a list of items, of which one can be selected. when the 'select' button is pressed, i need to be able to retrieve the selected item (basically just the text item in the list).
first off, i'm having trouble with setting up the program to show the items in the list - the form (named "selectfinger") is appearing but then it crashes before displaying any items:
DoCmd.OpenForm ("selectfinger")
Forms!selectfinger.List1.addItem ("Right Index")
Following this, i anticipate not knowing exactly how to retrieve the required bit of data back to the starting code.
any help much appreciated...
