Open Files, Close Files


In the cmdProcess Procedure I have the Close_Files so I can force the Generate_Size_Report to be written to the txt.file. But when i put the Open_files in the Procedure it clears the txt.file so How can I make the files be written to the txt.file while the program is still running. And i need to keep the file as Output.



Private Sub cmdProcess_Click()
Generate_Size_Report
Close_Files 'I think The Problem is Right Here
Open_Files 'Or right here
End Sub

Private Sub Generate_Size_Report()
Print #2, "Extra Large: ", ELarge_Accum
Print #2, "Large: ", Large_Accum
Print #2, "Medium: ", Medium_Accum
Print #2, "Small: ", Small_Accum
End Sub

Private Sub Close_Files()
Close #1
Close #2
End Sub

Private Sub Open_Files()
Open "a:jimspizza.txt" For Append As #1
Open "a:jimsSizeReport.txt" For Output As #2
End Sub

? On Open / Close Files In VB
Hi,
I have a text file (see below) that I only care for "Port x/xx" at the end of each line. This is the output of a Cisco switch from issuing the "show logging buffer 1023" command and the output is being captured to a text file.
What is the best way to remove all the duplicated "Port x/xx" on each line?
Based on my limited VB experience, I can only think of opening 2 files within VB. 1) being input and the other being output. Read the text file one line at a time and using a string command to keep only "Port x/xx" and write that info into a second file. In the end, I will have the second file that contains all the "Port x/xx" with no similar entries.
I notice using open/close files in VB is time consuming imagine there are 25 of such logs I have to go through. Are there different or quicker methods to get this done?

Thanks in Advance,

How To Close All Open Files...
I open a file to write to it, but sometimes it will come back and say file already open. How can I make sure that all the files in my application are closed?

Close Files That Are Not Open
I am downloading file from the internet with freefile
FileOne = Freefile
FileTwo = Freefile
FileThree = FreeFile
After each file is downloaded then
Close #FileOne, Close #FileTwo, Close #FileThree
The connection could be interupted at any point or the form closed
Is this wrong?
on error resume next
Close #fileOne
close #filetwo
close #file Three
On error goto error handler
I realize i could write a module boolean for each file and set it to true when they get succeffuly opened and then downloaded and then selectly close them.
Sure be a lot easier to just close them all even if they are not open.
Bad idea?

Open And Close Other .exe Files
I want to write my own online update system. I have several reasons for that as most of my updates are data related. I want to be able to load a different .exe file from my program and then shut down my program to replace it's .exe file if needed.

Is it possible to open another .exe file from VB and also to close any running instance of a program from VB...
Something like this

From myProgram
Command1_Click
Open myUpdates.exe

From myUpdates.exe
Command_Click
Close myProgram.exe (All Open Instances)

Can anyone help please !!!
Thanks

Chris

Close All Open Files
Is there a simple way to close all files that have been opened
with the Open and FreeFile function? If you dont know what file
numbers are open, to avoid any closing errors, if you loop
through some file numbers you will get an error if the file is
already closed. I want to avoid looping and the error.

Is the anything like a "Close All" function?

Close Windows Open Files Thru VB
I want to write a VB 6 app to close files opened by another application. These files are text files and csv's that sporadically get left open after the program finishes. I have another application that manipulates these files but on occasion cannot because I get a File Already Open error.
I have to go onto the file server itself, open computer management, Shared Folders, Open Files then find the open file(s) and manually close it/them.
I was hoping that someone knew of an API or other method of doing this through VB.

Open, Close && Save 'exe' Files
Hello all,

Is it possible to write code that will open an exe file, close an exe file and save an exe file. RobDog888 offered the following code to another member, which I'm yet to try, which might just need some additional lines to cover the close & save parts?


Code:
1.Option Explicit
2.
3.Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" ( _
4. ByVal hwnd As Long, _
5. ByVal lpOperation As String, _
6. ByVal lpFile As String, _
7. ByVal lpParameters As String, _
8. ByVal lpDirectory As String, _
9. ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
10.
11.Private Const SW_HIDE As Long = 0
12.Private Const SW_SHOWNORMAL As Long = 1
13.Private Const SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED As Long = 3
14.Private Const SW_SHOWMINIMIZED As Long = 2
15.
16.Private Sub Command1_Click()
17. ShellExecute Me.hwnd, "Open", "C:SomeFolderSomeFile.exe", vbNullString, "C:", SW_SHOWNORMAL
18.End Sub

How To Close All Open Files From The Path Specified?
I need to have a code which closes all of the files open in the path specified, for example: if the path is: "C:TEMP" and contains 3 files, of which 2 are open, the code must check which files are open of these 3 and close them.

Waiting for a hint!

Shell - It Wont Close - Moans About Open Files
This is driving me nuts. It wont close the share it opens because it says there are still open files, but I have closed any files that I open in the code.

I'm throwing this open to you folk to help me come up with things to look at. I use 'net use' to open and close the shares. I have included my main sub below which is going through each directory that I pass to it and checking for recent files. Some of the paths might be shares, so if thats the case, it opens up the share, checks the files and then closes the share (except it doesn't!)

This sub below is the only one I've changed around since it started to not work. There are other subs which lead off this one, if anyone feels the need to see those, then please let me know.

I hope someone can see something wrong (aparent from the fact that its a large sub) or suggest something.

Thanks.

Close All Generic Files...
Hi all

I'm driving AutoCAD from VB but i suppose this question may apply to all kinds of applications.

I'm using this code so far to open AutoCAD:


Code:
Dim AcadApp As AcadApplication
Dim AcadDoc As AcadDocument
On Error Resume Next 'Ignore errors
Set AcadApp = GetObject(, "AutoCAD.Application") 'Look for a running copy of AutoCAD
If Err.Number <> 0 Then 'If AutoCAD is not running then
Set AcadApp = CreateObject("AutoCAD.Application") 'run it
End If
Err.Clear 'Clear Err object in case error occurred

On Error GoTo 0 'Resume normal error processing

'Open AutoCAD file
Set AcadDoc = AcadApp.ActiveDocument

Before i open the file i'd like to write something that will find any open files + close them, and then proceed to open the new file.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanx!

Open Multiple Files In Open Command Dialog
Hi,

Can anyone help me how to selecting/opening multiple .xls file uisng VBA then store in an array/variable each file name on by one? Im planning to create a VBA that will verify each file name that will be open.

Thanks!

Close Statement With Binary Files, And EOF
I'm making my first foray into using binary files, but I'm having problems with the close statement, which seems to add extra data to the file.

The ultimate goal is to write code which will add a JPEG comment to a JPEG file, (so if you happen to have that code lying around anyway...); however the example code just passes the bytes from one file to a new (and in theory identical) file.

Looking at the file in a hex editor shows that the file is identical until the last few bytes, which I presume are added by the close statement.

How do I do this properly?


Code:
Function WriteIdentical()
Dim MyInputFile As String
Dim MyOutputFile As String
Dim VarString1 As String
Dim HexString As String
Dim MyLocation As Long

MyInputFile = "E:Joolzs programming projectsaGallery_ProjectTestsSmallJpegNoComment.jpg"
MyOutputFile = Left(MyInputFile, Len(MyInputFile) - 4) & "new.jpg"
' Open file for read
Open MyInputFile For Binary Access Read As #1

'open file for write
Open MyOutputFile For Binary Access Write As #2

Debug.Print "LOF(1) = " & LOF(1) 'length of file

VarString1 = " " 'this sets the length of the "Get" string

Do While MyLocation < LOF(1) ' Loop until end of file.
' Do While Not EOF(1) '(I tried this too)
Get #1, , VarString1 'get a byte

MyLocation = Loc(1) ' Get current position within file.

HexString = Format(Hex(Asc(VarString1)), "00") 'format it so can deal with it more easily

'If HexString = "FF" then
'Blah blah blah
'end if

'Write the string out
Put #2, , VarString1

Loop

Close #1
Close #2

Debug.Print "MyInputFileLen = " & FileLen(MyInputFile)
Debug.Print "MyOutputFileLen = " & FileLen(MyOutputFile)
Debug.Print "Difference = " & FileLen(MyOutputFile) - FileLen(MyInputFile)
End Function

(BTW - I realise reading in byte-by-byte is dismally slow, but I'll worry about that later. Many of the examples I've seen load the whole file into a string in one go, but I don't want to do that either because some of the files will be pretty big.)

Thanks

The Window Did Not Close While The Files Are Copying

form1 called form2. Form2 two then performs file copying. Everything copy. The problem is while it copy, if I click on the button Quit (stop copying), Form2 do not close but continue to copy files.

The code below is what is in Form2. Notice on the line with a label 99 and 100.

I did tell the form to unload, but it won 't. It continue to copy files.

I'm a rookie in VB.
I'm making a catalogue for my company and I'm using VB6.
I need to open a file with LDT extension.
The LDT works with Dialux which opens in windows if we use the right click of the mouse and choose "open with dialux project".


I don't need to see the file, just to open it in Dialux.
Somebody told me drag n drop could do the business but I can't find in internet command or help.

Can you help me using a command within VB6?

Open Files And Get/Put
Heres the problem, i want to make a program that will copy a file. Why dosen't the following code work?

Open "C:log2.log" For Binary As #2
For x = 1 To LOF(1)
Get #1, x, a

Open Files
I want to allow the user to open a picture file and put it in a picturebox. Basicly, I have no idea how to do this. I have a textbox for opening the file and a browse button that is supposed to help you look for the file and it will type in the address for you in the textbox. Then when you click the display button the picture will apear in the picturebox; and you can do this again and again.
Here is an example of some code i cutpasted form my VB help:

Code:
Private Sub mnuFileOpen_Click ()
' CancelError is True.
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
' Set filters.
CommonDialog1.Filter = "All Files (*.*)|*.*|Text _
Files (*.txt)|*.txt|Batch Files (*.bat)|*.bat"
' Specify default filter.
CommonDialog1.FilterIndex = 2

' Display the Open dialog box.
CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
' Call the open file procedure.
OpenFile (CommonDialog1.FileName)
Exit Sub

ErrHandler:
' User pressed Cancel button.
Exit Sub
End Sub
Because of something said in my VB help, I think this would have worked if I had commdlg.dll loaded, but for some reason it would not go into the references or components box.

Also I dont really have a clear idea wht to do after I get the Open File box working so help on that would be great too.

P.S. I would really like to understand this, not just cut/paste it, Thanks!

Open VB 6 Files In VB 5
Hey, I wondered if there was an easy way to open VB 6 files in VB 5. I use 6 at home which is fine but when i want to open these files at school with VB 5 it is very awkward. The only way i can do it is by manually opening the .vbp file with notepad and removing a couple of lines (Retained=0, DebugStartupOption=0, CodeViewDebugInfo=0). I hope there is a much easier way to do this. It is extremely annoying to do it constantly as i move between the two applications a lot. Thanks in advance!

Open Files
I have a routine that opens quite a few text files at the same time. Since, I have no Idea at the start of the routine how many files will be opened(the code determines this based on the contents of other text files) I am using the FreeFile() function to get the file number for the open method.


Code:
filenumber1 = FreeFile()
Open pathii For Append As #filenumber1


Is there any way of programatically generating a list of all of the open files. I need to write an error handler that will close all of these text files if an error occurs in my routine.
