Visual Basic :: Searching For Text Files By Content

Get Content Of Folder And Compare Two Text Files
I've looked at some examples of this kind of question in this forum but it is not quite working for me... I have a folder and i need to get all the files in this folder written onto a text file. Right now, i'm just worried about the filename, not the date modified or size of the file. I want to do a comparison each day for new files and files that are deleted. My logic here is: i write to a 'today.txt' file of everything that is the folder. Then the next day i run the program, 'today.txt' will be named 'yesterday.txt' and that day's content is written to 'today.txt' and i do a comparison between today.txt and yesterday.txt and write to a 3rd file, delete.txt. Delete.txt tells me what is in yesterday's file, but not today's. So whatever was in yesterday and no longer in today's, then it should be deleted. Also, how do i write to the delete.txt file without the quotes around the name of file?

this is what i have so far:

VB Code:
Open "c: oday.txt" For Input As #1Do Until EOF(1)Input #1, strInput1LoopClose #1 Open "c:yesterday.txt" For Input As #2Do Until EOF(2)Input #2, strInput2LoopClose #2 If strInput1 = strInput2 Then MsgBox "No New Data"Else MsgBox "New Data" Open "c:delete.txt" For Output As #3Do Until EOF(3) <---some reason , the loop doesn't work for meWrite #3, strInput1 <--and when it's taken out, i only compare 1 fileLoopEnd If Close #3

Inserting Content Into Excel From Multiple Text Files
I have many text files that I would like to copy the content from and paste into excel into their own individual cells - not manually. I found a macro that will insert the file name and date, but aside from those two, I want the content also. Can anyone help? The macro is below:

Sub Test()
Call ListWordFiles("C:Biology")
End Sub

Sub ListWordFiles(Folder As String)
Dim NextFile As String
Dim L As Long
On Error Resume Next

NextFile = Dir(Folder & "*")
Do Until NextFile = ""
L = L + 1
Cells(L, 1) = Folder & "" & NextFile
Cells(L, 2) = FileDateTime(Folder & "" & NextFile)
NextFile = Dir()
Loop
End Sub

Searching In Text Files
First i want to say Hello becuase its my first post on this forum. I dont know if my thread is in the right section lol.

I'll start with my problem:

I have a text file:
- MyText.txt
- a textbox {Text1}
- a command button {command1}

When we hit Command1 it must do the follow:

1} Load the text file in the memory

For example the Text file contains:
Mercedes 50 47 98
Bently 60 78 50
Ferrari 58 54 01

2}Now we want to change the whole Bently line with the line in the Textbox:
Bently 45 98 60

So what it needs to do: Get the first word of the Textbox and search with that word in a text file, find the line, replace that whole line with the line in the Textbox.

For opening Text files I use this code:

Code:
'(general declaration)

Dim nFileNum As Integer, sText As String, sNextLine As String, lLineCount As Long

'==================================

Private Sub Command1_Click()

' Get a free file number
nFileNum = FreeFile

' Open a text file for input. inputbox returns the path to read the file
Open "C:Documents and SettingsSudeepMy Documents3.txt" For Input As nFileNum
lLineCount = 1
' Read the contents of the file
Do While Not EOF(nFileNum)
Line Input #nFileNum, sNextLine
'do something with it
'add line numbers to it, in this case!
sNextLine = sNextLine & vbCrLf
sText = sText & sNextLine

Loop
Text1.Text = sText

' Close the file
Close nFileNum

End Sub
So in a general view:

Put text in the textbox
hit command 1
Find the first word of the textbox
open the text file
Find the line of that word
Replace the line with that from the Textbox

Thanks

Searching Text Files
I have developed an app that i want to search specific text files and provide info from there.

I want to search a file called abc.txt. The top line of that is :

Starting file copy: XCOPY "\FPSPUD004INVENTRY101441FILES*.*" "c:" /E /H /I /V /R

I want to be able to display in a text box (txt123), FPSPUD004. Presumably i need to search for "Starting file copy: XCOPY "\" and display whatever is after it and before "INVENTRY101441FILES*.*" "c:" /E /H /I /V /R"

Any help ????

Searching Text Files
Please see code below.

I want to search through a text file and find a specific entry. The install.log is quite a big file and i want to look for certain enteries in there. For example, the first section works fine in that it finds the text "SUCCESSFUL on NTW" at the bottom of the log and therefore gives the msgbox Distribution Successful.

However, i have stored the remainder of the entry in a database. I want to search the text file to search for specfic enteries in the database and match up. This only works if the database entry exactly matches what is in the log file. This is no good as i want the code to searxh the log file for the small part in the database.

Open "c:hbsutilsinstall.log" For Binary Access Read As #1
sData = Space$(LOF(1))
Get #1, , sData
MsgBox sData
If InStr(1, sData, "SUCCESSFUL on NTW") <> 0 Then
MsgBox "Distribution Successful"

Else

Do Until rstPackage.EOF
If sData = rstPackage("Fault") Then
txtDiagnoseProblem.Text = rstPackage.Fields("Problem")
Exit Do
Else
rstPackage.MoveNext
End If
Loop

Do Until rstPackage.EOF
If sData = rstPackage("Fault") Then
txtDiagnoseFix.Text = rstPackage.Fields("Fix")
Exit Do
Else
rstPackage.MoveNext
End If
Loop

End If

Searching Text Files
Does anyone know how to write a search that will search x number of text files for a specific string that the user will enter and send back the results in a linked format.

What I'm after is sorta like when you do a web search and it sends back urls.

This may not even be possible. I will not know how many text files to loop through but they all will be in a certain directory.

Searching Tru Text Files...

Searching Text Files
Is their a command in VB that is similiar to the HP-UX "grep" command. I'm needing to search many text files for a word or a phrase. The results of the finding will be converted into a hyper-link listing. The user types in a string to search and the resulting listing is returned!

Thanks,

Kevin

Searching Large Text Files
I have an ongoing issue of redistribution with my program and that is the fact the users will not pay big $$$ for a program that is targeted at the evolving market. There is no really free database around that can be distrubuted wothout hassles. There is maybe msde, but then the idea is that the end user who has no knowledge of databases must dl my program and get is up and riunning straight away with no more configuration and will not have to wait yonks on a 56k line.

I currentlly have an an access version working and an distributing this but this is just s time bomb waiting to explode.

This leads me to the question, that with access's indexing etc, how fast/slow would it be in comparison to just use straight text files. This would be easy because there are no related tables in the database (there are only two real entities). Is it worth doing (I don't think so unless I design my own indexing scheme...)

Reading/Searching Text Files
OK, before I start, remember I have VB5 (poor me), so none of your VB6 solutions please guys!

Righty, basically, I have a rather large problem. I'll start from where I think the beginning is. Say I have a text file with the following contents:

David Beckham
94
England
Dwight Yorke
87
Trinidad & Tobago

etc etc

What I want to do is read all players in the text file, and show them in labels as follows...

PLAYER RATING
David Beckham 94
Dwight Yorke 87

etc on a form. Now. There will be ten such rows for players to be read to on the form. If there are more than 10 players in the file, how would I make it so that clicking a label (lblNext) would show the next ten entries in the file? Also, would I have to use arrays for the string variables to read the text in as? ie:

Input #1, PlayerName(?)

How would I do it so that the "?" increased by one after each player was read in?

Finally, when a player's name is clicked on the label he has been loaded into, how would I go on to find his position in the text file and read in his data from there for showing on a player profile screen?

I know this is a very large post but the help would be much appreciated. Feel free to ask any questions if you don't understand anything.

Thanking you in advance...

Searching Text Files For A String
Is there a function in VB to search a text file for a specified string?

I've tried to input from the text file into a variable then use InStr to compare the two before looping and testing the next input - but it doesn't work...

If no-one has any ideas I can send this code and see if anyone knows what's wrong with it...

Thanks

Searching Text Files For Words
Hi everyone,

Any help would be greatly appreceiated.

Thanks.

Searching Multiple Text Files Not In The Same Directory
I'm a new VB programmer I just started a month ago and this is my first project on my own. The idea with the project is to search a text file for a text string given in an input box. All the matches will be listed in a list box with the line number. So far I have made that.
Now I want to expand my program so it can search multiple text files at one time.
When I click the search button the I get an Open File from a Common Dialog Box named comFile. I have enabled the multiselect property so I can select multiple files. Now I want my program to search through all the files I selected in my common dialog box and list the matches, file by file, in my list box. I could search all the text files in the whole directory, however I don't want to do that beacuse I'm curious about the Common Dialog Box and want to learn more about this control.
This is my code so far:

Code:
Option Explicit
Private Const LB_SETHORIZONTALEXTENT = &H194

Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias _
"SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, _
ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any) As Long

Private Sub cmdSearch_Click()
Dim hSize As Long
Dim strWord As String 'The search word
Dim strLine As String 'The text in the line
Dim intFreeFile As Integer
Dim intLineNum As Integer 'For linenumber in text file
Dim intMatchCount As Integer 'The number of matches
Dim intResponse As Integer 'For msgbox() answer
On Error GoTo SearchErrorHandler
hSize = 800 'Determines the width of the horizontal scrollbar for the listbox
Call SendMessage(lstText.hwnd, LB_SETHORIZONTALEXTENT, hSize, ByVal 0&)
comFile.Filter = "Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt"
comFile.Flags = cdlOFNAllowMultiselect
comFile.ShowOpen
intFreeFile = FreeFile
Open comFile.FileName For Input As #intFreeFile
strWord = InputBox("Type the word you wish to search for in the text file(s)", "Search Word")
intLineNum = 0
intMatchCount = 0
Do Until EOF(intFreeFile)
intLineNum = intLineNum + 1
Line Input #intFreeFile, strLine
If InStr(LCase(strLine), "" & LCase(strWord)) > 0 Then
lstText.AddItem (intLineNum & ": " & strLine)
intMatchCount = intMatchCount + 1
End If
Loop
intResponse = MsgBox("Found " & intMatchCount & " matches", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Matches")
Exit Sub
SearchErrorHandler:
Exit Sub
Close #intFreeFile
End Sub
And one more thing: How do I fit the hSize variable so that my horizontal scrollbar in the listbox matches the content?

Quickly Searching Large Text Files?
Hi Guys,

I am wondering how I can quickly search a selection of large textfiles for repeated instances of a certain string. I am looking for something like the wonderful GREP command in Unix. The results would then be written to an output file.

Generally, the text files are 30+MB, but in extreme cases can be as large as 1GB

Your help is most appreciated.

Absolute Beginner Needs Help With Searching Text Files
Hello all,
Hope this is the correct group for this question.
I couldn't find a vb beginners group.
I am getting overwhelmed and need some help.
I did this very easily in a batch file (only three lines), but DOS is too
limited and the use of the batch is presenting other problems (file is
compressed so I get garbage characters in the output file which I can't
edit).
I also wanted some other functionality added and decided to try VB6.

Problem - (Totally lost and frustrated)
How do I search all files with a given extension (ex. *.zip) for text inside
those files and output those lines (strings) to a text file?
I need to be able to use wildcards, so from what I read the use of the File
System Object is not going to help me.
The files are compressed (don't know if that matters).
The text lines (strings) in the files I am looking for would be something
like *.bspPK(trailing garbage characters)

Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you

Command For Searching, Saving, Adding, Editing, Deleting && Diplaying Database Content
hi guyz!!!
can i asked u a favor... how could i manipulate the database by using adodb...? what are the codes for searching, saving, deleting, displaying & editing the records in that database? hope u could extend to me ur knowledge... tnx 'n advance for your efforts...

God bless!!! ;-)

Searching For A Directory Vs Searching A Text File For The Same Thing!
After working on a piece of code for a while, and actually getting it to work, I was asked to do it a different way.

Originally, I had a login box set up to search for a user's username and password that was stored in a text file. The problem with this was that I didn't know how to get it to search ALL of the entries, not just a set 1 to 10 like I was using in my code. To see the full program code, click here.

Now my group members want me to do it so that it searches for the directory instead of the text file for the same information. The directory name is the username, and in the directory, they'd like (theoretically speaking) to have the user's username and pass stored in a pwd file or a txt file.

I'm trying to argue that searching a text file's easier (partly because I believe it is, and also because I've already done it), but they're arguing that searching the directory's easier because then, the program could just store the directory in a global module, so when it comes to other aspects of the program itself, it'd be easier to do.

I'm willing to give the 'searching for the directory' route a try, but I can't seem to find anything that pertains to this, WITHOUT using api (I've searched the forum, and all I found was recursive search for stuff thats already in a directory, or stuff that has to do with api).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Copy Content Of Files
Hi all,

I want to copy some content of files. What I want to do is this:

I have 2 files, say header and footer.

I want to completely copy the header to a new file. Then I want to add my own content, and then I want to add the complete footer.

I tried this to read the complete file (header):

Code:
Public Function GetHeader() As String
' Declare variables
Dim File As Integer: File = FreeFile
Dim sFile As String
Dim sTemp As String

' Open file
sFile = App.Path + "header.bat"
Open sFile For Random As #File

' Read file
sTemp = Space$(FileLen(sFile))
Get #File, , sTemp
GetHeader = sTemp

' Close file
Close #File
End Function

But I get this error:

If Len(strContent1) > 0 And Len(strContent2) > 0 And strContent1 = strContent2 Then

Get Folder Content && Search Hdd For Any .tmp Files
hi

Can anyone tell me how to do any of the following...

Get folder content from the current users folder
Search for any .tmp files on the system drive.

thanks, Philly

Looping Through All The Files In A Folder And Sending Their Content With Winsock...
In a simple server software I am going to make for a LAN, the other user's IP addresses and computer name are each stored in a .dat file on the server computer. If there are 4 users currently on the LAN that have my client software running, there will be 4 .dat files stored in a special folder on the server computer. For example, one dat file might be called "Jon's Computer" and it will store his IP address and port #.

ONE of my problems arises when another user connects to the server using my client software. When the client connects, the client software will send the server the client's computer name, ip address, and port #. The server takes that information and puts the ip address and port # into a dat file called the computer name. The problem is that the server must let the other users connected to it that another user has just connected..

How can I loop through each of the .dat files, opening each one and sending all the .dat files to each user?? For example, if there are 4 people currently connected to the server, and a 5th one connects, the server creates the appropiate .dat file. Then it opens the first .dat file to get that user's IP address and port, and sends all the other .dat files to that user. Then it goes on to the next .dat file, opens it, and send all the other .dat files to that user, and so on. Can anyone post any code to systematically do this?

Text Box Content Format
Is there a way to have the data in a text box formatted in Excel? I am pulling data from cells on a worksheet with a specific format (i.e. telephone number). But when it appears in the text box in my custom form it drops all formating. So if I update the data in the userform and try to apply the changes to the worksheet it over writes the original formatting so it's a real pain.

I need to find a way to force the Form's Text Box to alter the format of the data within it.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks,

Get Text Content Of Any Window
hi

ive searched the net and the forum for the answer, but i've found nothing,
but getting text from a window of a specific class (witch i allready know how to do).

i'm writing a screen-reader, and i need to be able to get the text content of any window the mouse pointer is over.

for ex. if a mouse is over a "document part" of the MS Word application, it gets the content of the document.

i could also live with the option of selecting the text - u guess that would be easier to do. besides ive done something simmilar in the past.
i was using GetAsyncState (or something like that) to get last pressed key (this includes mouse buttons). ive checked if the mouse was pressed, and released (with no in betwen events), and if so, i was sending "CTRL+C" and getting the selected text from the clipboard, but that is what i would like to avoid - the clipboard.

so if anyone has an idea how to achive option one or option two (same as described, but without clipboard) please share with me.

thanks in advice.

Modifying Content In Text File
Hi,

I have a text file "orig.txt" with the content:

0:NV0067:8:BV1:Normal:66.103.203.35
0:NV0067:9:BV2:Normal:66.103.203.36
0:NV0067:10:BV3:Normal:66.103.203.37
0:NV0067:11:BV4:Normal:66.103.203.38
0:NV0067:12:BV5:Normal:66.103.203.39
0:NV0067:13:BV6:Normal:66.103.203.40

I need help in making a vb program that will modify the content in "orig.txt" to this format and save it as modified.txt:
66.103.203.35 X-NV0067-BV1
66.103.203.36 X-NV0067-BV2
66.103.203.37 X-NV0067-BV3
66.103.203.38 X-NV0067-BV4
66.103.203.39 X-NV0067-BV5
66.103.203.40 X-NV0067-BV6

at the end, delete "orig.txt" file.

Any help would be appreciated. thanks!

Text Box Content Comparison <RESOLVED>
I would like to ask the following question:

Suppose I have three textboxs called Text1, Text2 and Text3
In VB I do the following comparison:

VB Code:
If Text1.Text > Text2.Text Then Text3.Text = 1Else Text3.Text = 0End If

The funny situation is that:
When Text1 Textbox contains 50, and Text2 Textbox contains 6
Text3 Textbox output is 1. i.e. 50 < 6 ??
What happened on it?

P.S. I have tried using 2 Combobox as selection input and 1 Textbox as output. It is correct!!
