Visual Basic :: Looking For Tool To Extract Hard-coded Strings Into Resource File

Open Text File Into Datagrid - Not Hard Coded
Back in 2002 Zbigniew Borysiuk posted some code on VBCode.com that imported a text file into a datagrid using textstream (see Link to his source code ). This works rather well, but the location of the text file to be opened is 'hard coded' (strPath = App.Path & "Grid.txt" - see below). However, I want people to be able to select the location and file name to be opened. I tried using the commondialog "open" command but couldn't get that to work in the slightest and then I created a text box which lists the path and filename that the user selects (using the Drive1, Dir1, File1 method), but can't seem to find a way of using them with the code either. I'd be very grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction. I'm using VB6 and a text file as the import (I tried using a table in an access database but people then wouldn't be able to save the table as different names in different places on their hard drive - I'm making some stats software and will eventually need the columns in the grid to be summed, divide one column sum by another, etc etc).

Anyway, Here are the troublesome code snippets:

Private Sub Form_Load()
'create rs and bind grid to it
If CreateRs(OpenFile(conRead)) Then
Set DataGrid1.DataSource = rs
'count the records
NumRec
Else
MsgBox "Application cannot create a recordset."
End If

End Sub

Private Function OpenFile(X As String) As TextStream
Dim fso As New FileSystemObject
Dim fil As File
Dim ts As TextStream
Dim s As String
Dim strPath As String
Dim Location As String

'get a path
' this is the bit I need to correct - changing App.Path to anything else breaks the code
strPath = App.Path & "data.txt"

lblFile.Text = strPath

'open the file

    Set fil = fso.GetFile(strPath)
    Set ts = fil.OpenAsTextStream(X)
    Set OpenFile = ts

End Function

Even a pointer on the web would be useful,

Many thanks,

Thanks!

How To Extract A File From A Resource
Hi friends, I want to extract a file from a resource file, but don't know how to do. How can I do this ? Pls give me the source code. Thanks.

Resource File Tool
I don't know if anything like this exists, but it would be great if there was a tool available that can read through a vb project and extract all the strings to a resource file and replace them the the loadresstring function.

If anybody knows of such a tool, preferably open source of some sort, please post back

Hard Coded Authentication Possible?
I have a prog that connects to an Access database over the network, on a win2k server.

What I would like to do is code a username and password into the connection string so the program will authenticate as administrator.

The reason behind this is because the win2k server isn't part of our netware network, so the users are totally different. We mainly use the win2k server for IIS for our intranet.

I don't want to have to create every single netware user on the win2k server, its a beeyotch to make them match up.

Code:
MyConn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=\rasc$access dbCompInfo.mdb;Username=Administrator;Password=blah"
MyConn.Open

The above gives me an error, what am I doing wrong?

VBA References Hard-coded ?
When I'm installing VBA-applications with References to other *.dvb (protected functions) by Clients, there's always a error-messages that VBA can't find the referenced *.dvb at the initial location. My question is: It seems to me that these references are Path-hardcoded, is there any way to avoid is, My Client(s) do not have the same Directory structures as on my PC ... Thanks for any tips ... SMD

Hard Coded Path Names
Hey all,

I have working code that uses data files. (Not that anyone here should be impressed by that!) The problem is that the paths to these data files are hard coded into the code that uses them.
What are some of the ways to get away from the limitations of hard coded paths and make the code a bit more user friendly for users afraid to edit even a path string for a macro?
The released revsion of my program runs well from floppy because it finds all the data in the root directory of the floppy drive. I want the user to be able to copy the contents into a local directory and still be able to run the program. Currently when this is tried, an error occurs at the first attempt to open a data file.

Best Regards,

Michael

Listview Hard Coded Text
I am trying to create a listview display for some data to be displayed.

I would like to be able to add text to it that is similar to the My Computer display in Explorer. The text that says Hard Disk Drive, Removable Drives ect.
That text does not move when expanding or shrinking the Listview.

How is this done?? I have not been able to figure that out...

Copy File From Resource File To Hard Drive As VbHidden
Is it possible to copy a file from the resource to the hard drive as vbHidden ?

I've made a Graphical User Interface for several commandline tools.
I want to include the commandline tools in a resource file and then
when the user starts the GUI, the commandline tools get extracted
to the hard drive as vbHidden.

Most people don't have "Show hidden files and folders" enabled.
This way it looks like there is only one app, instead of a GUI with
all kinds of extra apps, because that looks ugly (in my opinion).

This is the code I'm using now for one commandline tool.

VB Code:
Private Sub Form_Load() Dim sBuffer As String sBuffer = StrConv(LoadResData(101, "CUSTOM"), vbUnicode) Open App.Path & "WhoLockMe.exe" For Output As #1 Print #1, sBuffer Close #1End Sub

Load Data Via Textbox Or Hard Coded?
Hi, not sure how to say it in the subject, but this should be a quick one.

I have data that I inputted into the textbox directly. If I do this directly in the VB code window, will that slow things down? Or would it make no difference? It's just bugging me since there is always an extra blank line if I input my data in the textbox directly (in the GUI). So I wanted to know if speed would be impacted if I just did it directly in the code.

Using VB6.

Thanks.

Public Array With Hard-coded Values
Hey there. I'm new to VB so please excuse my ignorance.
I want to put an array in a mod file so all forms will be able to access the values of the array elements.
Just can not figure out the proper syntax.

I want to put this in a mod file:

Dim LL(55) As String
LL(0) = Chr(34)
' 55 other elements

Then I want to place this on another form:

Text1.text = LL(0)

Any ideas? Thanks!

Error With Connection With Hard Coded Path
I have a form that connects using ADODB

Everything works fine right now, except that my path is hard coded in the Dbq=c:xxxxxx.mdb

When i tried to put a string variable in there with the path it returns an error saying:

Microsoft Access Driver Could not Find File '(Unknown)'
Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers.

Here is my code:

VB Code:
prvCNNBatchHeader.Open "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=C:MIPER DEMIPRDEatch.mdb;Uid=;Pwd=;"

* The above line works properly

VB Code:
Option Explicit Private prvCNNBatchHeader As New ADODB.Connection Dim DBPath as StringDBpath = pubStrDatabaseLocation & "" & miprDatabaseName prvCNNBatchHeader.Open "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=DBpath;Uid=;Pwd=;"

* The above line returns the error.
The variable DBPath does receive the correct and same path that gets hard coded in the correct line

Replacing Hard Coded Connections With Variables
Hi
I have this in my app

Set tdfLinked3 = xlsdatabase.CreateTableDef("linkedtable3", 0, "Sheet1" & "$", "Excel 5.0;HDR=NO;IMEX=2;DATABASE=D:paul_samsonNov.xls")
xlsdatabase.TableDefs.Append tdfLinked3

I have two string var that I want to insert into this connection. I am wanting to replace the database = part.

my vars hold this :
pathtoexcel = d:paul_samson

HR = nov.xls

so i tried this:
Set tdfLinked3 = xlsdatabase.CreateTableDef("linkedtable3", 0, "Sheet1" & "$", "Excel 5.0;HDR=NO;IMEX=2;DATABASE= pathtoexcel & HR")
xlsdatabase.TableDefs.Append tdfLinked3

but this just bombs out , what am I doing wrong and how would I write this.

Strings In Resource File
Am I overlooking something, or is it not possible to retrieve text from a resource file into a string? I know this is what the description of a resource file says it can be used for, but I have tried with no luck. The LoadResData function returns a bunch of question marks and a few other symbals here and there, but it's totaly unusable. Do I need to convert the text to something else first? I can't use a string table because the text contains carrage returns and line feed characters (vbCrLf).
Any ideas?

Excel Addin Path Hard Coded With A User Defined Function
Annoying feature of Excel...

I have created an Excel addin that has a user defined function and then used the UDF in several spreadsheets. However the addin name and *path* get hard coded into the spreadsheet with the UDF. On XP the default Addin folder is under your profile hence my colleagues cannot use the spreadsheets as the addin path is different for their profiles. Effectively using the UDF creates an external spreadsheet link (visible under Excel > Edit > Links) to the addin.

Can you enter a user defined function in Excel whose path is not hard coded? Is there a different way than using an addin? The other possibility I have considered is to install the addin under the Excel installation as it was on NT...

Thanks,
Scottie.

.: Is It Possible To Extract "Multiple" Files From Resource (RES) File?
Hi everyone!
I need some another help on I/O file, please..
In this case, i'm using custom Res file and i want to extract multiple files from it to e specified destination. I an almost similar question in the forum, but a forgot to ask whether it is possible to extract more than one file in a push.

vb Code:
Private Sub Command1_Click() Dim intFF as Integer Dim strPath as String Dim bytData() as Byte intFF = FreeFile strPath = App.Path & "data.dat" bytData = LoadResData("Writings","CUSTOM") Open strPath for Binary as intFF Put intFF, , bytData Close intFFEnd Sub

But the code above extract a single file only which is 'data.dat'. So, how should I do to extract let's say 3 custom files in a turn?

Anyway, thanks to schoolbusdriver for the code

Thank you.

How To Extract Strings From Within Other Strings With The Use Of Delimiters
I have put a web page's html code into a string and now I am trying to extract a string from within that string. I.E. I need to get access to the meta tags. These are denoted by the following

Extract Cabfile From Resource?
Yo...

I've been reading a lot on those resource files...
and i figured i could use one.

So i added a .cab file to my exe...
and now i want to create the resource file on a custom location...
but as a test i used the following:

Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim byteArray As Byte

byteArray = LoadResData(101, "CUSTOM") '<-- the error is on this line...
Open App.Path & "file.cab" For Binary As 1
Put #1, , byteArray
Close #1
end sub()
...but now i get a runtime error 13: type mismatch

I suspect .cab files cant be copied from the resource??
or am i doing something wrong, here?

Thanks...

Windows Resource Handling Analysis Tool
I have a large VB 6.0 application, that uses a variety sub classing and many 3rd party controls. I want to pass Microsoft's Platform Test for ISVs and I'm worried about windows resource handling. Is there any kind of analysis tool around that will monitor an application when it is running and report problem areas? Most software analysis tools seem to be focused simply on the coding side of things rather than the execution.

Do you have such a tool or is there one you would recommend?

Kind Of A Network Administrator's Tool (Hard Question)
Hi

I would like to create a program that connects to a networked computer with that computers IP address and then executes the GetTickCount API so that I can find out how long that this networked computer has been in Windows.

Extract Two Strings From One String
Right, a bit of an awkward question here.

What I am ultimately trying to do is read values from an IE’s Bookmark file. I then want to pull out the URL as string and the description as string.

The IE bookmark file is a html file and consists of the HTML markup. Each line in the bookmarks file will consist of for example:

<DT><A HREF="http://www.google.com" ADD_DATE="1086248661" LAST_VISIT="1089127374" LAST_MODIFIED="1086248662">Google</A>

I want to end up left with the link: http://www.google.com
And the description: Google

I could remove all the HTML formatting via string manipulation.. e.g. replace ‘<DT><A HREF="’ WITH “”. Etc etc until the HTML formating is removed.

But after removing the formatting I would still be left with the string.. e.g:

http://www.google.com 1086248661 1089127374 1086248662Google

Which is not satisfactory. Even if I am capable of stripping out the numbers in the middle. How can I get it so I can assign the link to one variable, and the description to the other?? So to review I want to start with a string in this format:

STRING1 = <DT><A HREF="http://www.google.com" ADD_DATE="1086248661" LAST_VISIT="1089127374" LAST_MODIFIED="1086248662">Google</A>

Output String1 = “http://www.google.com”
Output String 2 = “Google”

If anyone can follow / understand my attempt at the impossible it would be much appreciated if could reply with a possible solution??

Get All Resource Strings...
I am trying to get all of the string table entries out of a resource file, and I need to get all of the languages, too. Here is what I have so far...

That's all well and good for getting the string resources for the current language, but I'm not really sure how to go about getting all of the other languages out. I have tried changing the locale of the current thread using SetThreadLocale(), but it had no effect. Any thoughts?

Using Strings From A C Resource DLL In VB?

Modifying Resource Strings
Many compiled programs contain resource items, that can be modified without re-compiling the executable. For example language-specific strings, icons, version numbers.
Does anybody know how to modify these resources, without recompiling the executable? Are there any API calls to do this, or do I have to wade my ways through the binary data in the executable myself?
Of course I can use one of those third-party resource editors, but I was wondering if it is easily possible to write my own custom program.

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,

If VB And Excel The Right Tool For Creating A Vintage Chart Creation Tool?
I apologize for the neophyte question.

I have previous programming experience, but with outdated tools. I have never programmed in visual basic but I would like to learn, if it is the right tool for the job.

I am just interested in knowing what the best toolset would be to create the following application. I don't want to invest a lot of time in the wrong tool.

I need to create a vintage chart reporting/tracking tool. Imagine any line of products. They have past products, current products and future products. Also, they may want to create a similar report of all of their competitors.

In its simplest form, the report would be an x/y chart, time on the x and price on the y. The text would need to be dynamic (product name, high level specs). I can create something similar with the addlabel routines in excel, but it isn't very appealing to upper management. I need to be able to limit the x access (time, ie. 03-06).

Improvement, in some order of complexity:
Would like to have each product represented by an oval with specs written in the oval. Each competitor would have a different color.

Would like to have graphical representation be a bmp file instead of an oval(picture of the product).

Would like to create graphs that only include one competitor at a time or perhaps a group of competitors.

A modified report would be a snapshot in time with each competitor in a different column. Price still on the y axis.

I would like to drive the data from an excel spreadsheet or an access database. This would help track changes in the data (product cancelled, pushed out, pulled out, different than we projected).

Any thoughts on the best toolset. Also, any high level suggestions for a beginner (buy these books, create this first, don't even try).

I have read that Visio is more programmable than Excel. True?

I don't mind taking the time to learn the tools. I need to upgrade my programming toolset in this current job market. I just want to start in the right place.

Thank you in advance for you patience and help.

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.

Play Midi File From Resource File Using MciSendString
Is it easy to call a midi file from a resource file?
I have made a resource file with a down.mid song,
I was hoping to be able to play sound with out having to include it with my exe?

I have tried dozens of different ways with no luck, there was an example code in the bank, but it had so many options and different modules,

the code I have now is;

Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Temp = mciSendString("play " & "down.mid", 0&, 0, 0)
End Sub

how can I adapt this to use the resource file?

These are just a few of failed attempts;

Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Temp = mciSendString("play " & "101", 0&, 0, 0)
End Sub

Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Temp = mciSendString("play " & 101, 0, 0)
End Sub

Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim b As String
b = StrConv(LoadResData(101, "custom"), vbUnicode)
Temp = mciSendString("play " & b, 0&, 0, 0)
End Sub

Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim b As String
b = StrConv(LoadResData(101, "custom"), vbUnicode)
Temp = mciSendString("play " & "b", 0&, 0, 0)

Setting Up A Data Input File As A Resource File
Hi,

Is this possible what I am trying to do. I have a file which my app reads from at initialisation to find the paths for certain directories. I have copied it below. Is the easiest way to make sure that the app can always find this file to read, so no matter where the app is installed the file will always be with it to have the file as a resource file.
I tried opening the resource editor and creating a custom resource file using my inout file. The problem is that if this is correct I have no idea how to read in the data from the resource file. Loadresdata only reads in bytes, I am looking for some way to read in lines at a time, as I would do if I was reading in normally from a file.

Is any of the above correct? If not what would be the best way of doing what i want to do?

Cheers,

John

Here is the inout file I was talking about:

#This file contains all the settings paths for the Database and Upload and Download
#directories. Any additional comments added in should be preceded by a # symbol.
#It would be wise to keep a copy of this file under a different name in case this version gets
#corrupted or changes somehow. When editing only edit the paths after the equals sign.
#Do not leave a gap between the path name and the equals sign and keep all data in the
#same order as it is here now.

#Database path + filename
Database-Directory=C:PiperTrack.mdb

#upload directory
Upload-Directory=C:Dan Stuffupload

#Download Directory

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!
