Read Text File Line-By-Line
I need to take a text file, read it line by line, and put certain lines into an array...
I need some help on the reading line by line part...
Can anyone steer me in the right direction? I don't need to read it all into an array, just 1 line at a time, and if the line meets certain criteria, put THAT LINE in an array...(I can handle the "if it meets certain criteria" part...)
Thanks!!

Line By Line Text File Read And Correct Each Line
Can anyone help me create a small program or have any pointers
on pieces of code that reads a text file from folder "unfixed" then
fix the contents and then store the corrected contents
in another folder "fixed" and then move the file in folder "unfixed" to folder "old"
Details of contents.
There is a space infront of each line that should be removed.
Between the first group of numbers and the second there should be a zero for every space.
Then after the second group of numbers there should be just one space and the rest trimed off.
011531015222360000500355 3350505212004 50122
011531015222360000500363 5336305212004 6255

02153101522236 13 1503256
The @ symbol represents where a space should be.
I would like to read the file and then correct it and then
place the fixed contents in another folder with the original name.
Below is how I would like it to look.

Read Last Line Of Text File
Hi Guys,
I needed some help regarding file reading in VB 6. I am writing a program that needs to insert a record in a text file. The text file has following format..
Date, Time, Open Price, Close price
Now i need to insert record only if date is greater than last date in file.
So everytime I need to insert record, I have to open file and read sequentially and then I reach last record. This takes time.
IS there a way to read such file in binary or whatever so that i can get last record straight away or very quickly without going thru all records one by one.
If there is can anyone post a small code.
[Records in the (text) file is like -
01/01/2006, 1100, 123.33, 155.55
01/01/2006, 1130, 122.22, 134.33

How To Read 1st Variable Line By Line From A .txt File
1st question. Is it easier if I use a database I assume?
Say for example I have a file named test.txt which looks like this
"Test1"
"Tst2"
"tt3"
And I do a search for "Tst2" how would I go through file to find that?
Open test.txt for input #1
white not EOF(1)
????
I am totally lost here. And are there any thorough tutorials online for visual basic 6 or a GOOD quality book that would touch on things like this an DBGrid's? The only one I have is too basic.
Thanks in advance and I apologize for the question but I can't find a resolution anywhere.

Read Random Line From Text-file
Hi!
I want to read a random line from a text file. My text file has 315 lines in it. Here is what I have written so far:
Code:
Dim number As Integer
Dim line As Integer
number = Int(300 * Rnd) + 1
Open App.Path & "words.txt" For Input As #1
For line = 1 To number
Input #1, line
Next
MsgBox (line)
Close #1
But every time I try to run this, the debugger informs me about Run-time error '62': Input past end of file.
The problem can't be with the randomizer because I checked the output once and it said that the number was 8. And since my text-file is 315 lines long, I really can't figure what is the problem.
Can anyone help me?

Read From A Text File One Line At A Time
Sorry to revive an old thread but its probably better then adding a new one
Im using a code to download a file and then read from that file, the file downloads OK, all the text in the downloaded file is correct but this code doesnt seem to be working
Code:
intFile = FreeFile()
Open CurDir & "
otice 2331.dat" For Input As #intFile
Line Input #intFile, strLinenews1
Line Input #intFile, strLinenews2
Line Input #intFile, strLinenews3
Close #intFile
it works if i use just the Line Input #intFile, strLinenews1, if i put the other 2 i get a Input past end of file, but im sure the file has more then 3 lines.
Any idea whats wrong?

How To Read The Last Line Of A Text File Without Looping From The Begining
I like to check the last line of the text file before adding new data to the text file. This is required to avoid duplicate data.
Is there any way to read the last line without looping through the whole text file? Or, is it possible to loop from the last line of the text to the first line i.e. reverse direction?
Appreciate, your help.
Thanks.

How To Read Multiple Line Text File Into A Variable
Hi,
I just found this site tonight. I've just started learning to program with Visual Basic and I'm having a very frustrating problem that I'm hoping someone here can help me with.
This post is a bit long. Sorry about that!
This has probably been asked many times before. My question is, how can you open a multiline text file and input EVERYTHING in the text file to a string variable? Basically, the text file will just be a list and the program will have to determine what items are on that list. I know how to open and save text files, and display text files in a textbox, but for some reason I can't figure out how to input an entire text file into a variable. It will only read the first line, and seems to ignore anything below the first line. I've been hunting on Google all night to try to find out about this, but with no luck.
Here's an example similar to what I need to do:
Let's say I have a text file named "List.txt" I have a command button that will add an item that the user chooses to this list.
Now let's say that the item the user chooses could be the string variable "new_item"
So I would have a command button with this code:
new_item=InputBox("What would you like to add to the list?")
Open "List.txt" For Append As #1
Print #1, new_item
Close #1
If we put in "a new car" for example in the input box, then this would be entered into the text file "List.txt."
Then let's click the command button again and put in "a boat" into the input box. It should then append the text file to read:
a new car
a boat
So far, so good. Now, let's say I have another string variable, named items_on_list. I also have another command button that will open the text file and determine what is on the list, with predetermined results if certain things are on the list. For example:
Open "List.txt" For Input As #1
items_on_list = Input(LOF(1), 1)
Close #1
What I WANT to do is this (again, just a generic example):
If items_on_list = "a new car" Then MsgBox("A new car, eh? Better save up!")
If items_on_list = "a new car a boat" Then MsgBox("Wow! A new car and a boat!")
But the problem I'm having is that the program would only read the first line and would ignore anything else. How can I open a text file and assign EVERYTHING, a multiline list in other words, to a string variable?
What I'm actually doing is working on a sort of strategy game that simulates a railway company. I know there are already dozens of games like this, such as Railroad Tycoon, etc. but this one will simulate a small railway company that was once in my area. I have a variable that I would like to use to keep track of specifically what locations the user has built lines to. Each time the user builds a new rail line, it would have to be appended to a list. There are certain instances, such as when a map is displayed showing all the rail lines, when this list would have to be opened and read into a variable, to determine which map to display in a picture box.
Again, I'm sorry for this post being so long! As you can tell, I'm still very new to all this. But this has been a very frustrating problem. I hope someone can help. Thank you!
