Visual Basic :: Copying A Complete Text File 1 Line At A Time

Get Line Form Text File 1 Line At A Time
I am trying get some code that will get one line of txt from a file then after it done with that line grab the next line so on and so forth. I have been able to get it to run through a file but I can’t get to do it one at a time. Here is some of the code I am trying to using now.

Sub TextStream ()

Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 3
Const TristateUseDefault = -2, TristateTrue = -1, _
TristateFalse = 0

Dim fs, f, ts, s

Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fs.GetFile(Form1.Dialog.FileName)
Set ts = f.OpenAsTextStream(ForReading, TristateUseDefault)

Call count1 ' Mycounter1

If Mycounter1 = Mycounter2 Then
ts.SkipLine
ts.Close

Else

Call count2 ' Mycounter2

s = ts.ReadLine
Form1.Text1.Text = s
ts.Close

End If

End Sub

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 & "
otice2331.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?

Okie So far i figured out that if you just use Input #FF, <Variable>

It only reads the 1st line

Now I got a Server and a Client

Server is the one reading the Multi Lined Text File
It sends the Strings 1 line at a time

Client gets them with winsock and Additem with a list so it comes out in a good order

Right now i have this and it wont work cus its in one long line instead of 20 lines it comes in 1 big one

Can you Help me out this is what i got now? How Can i make ti so it adds item everytime theres a new line

Code:
'Server
Dim txt As String
Dim FF As Integer
Dim i As Integer
FF = FreeFile
Open "c:Input.txt" For Input As FF
Do While Not EOF(FF)
'Line Input #FF, txt
Input #FF, txt
RemoteShell.SendData txt
Loop
Close #FF
DoEvents

'Client
Private Sub RemoteShell_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
RemoteShell.GetData data, vbString
CmdOutput.AddItem data
End Sub

If somebody have it, and ready to share, i will be very thankful to him/her.

Run Time Error When Read File Line By Line
I'm trying to read a txt file line by line that I can stop reading at any place I want.
Below is the code:

VB Code:
Do While Not EOF(1) Line Input #1, fString Text1.Text = Text1.Text + fString + vbCrLfLoop

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance!

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.

Copying And Renaming A File With The Date/time In The Filename
Hi there,

I've never done much with VB as far as moving files aroudn and such and am hoping someone cna whip me up what I think wuld be a very simple little program.

All it would do would be every hour, take a file from a particular folder, copy it to a different folder, and rename it and add the date/time onto the filename somehow.
So a file called Database.mdb would get changed to database 031420021100 for March 14th, 2002 at 11:00. It doesn't have to be that format, just an example.

Can someone give me the couple lines I'm guessing it would take to do that?

THanks,
-Mike

Reading A Tab Delimited Text File Line By Line Into An Array
I have a tab delimited file created by an outside source.
I am using the below code to read it's contents into an array.

Function openFile()
Dim FileNum As Integer
Dim TotalFile As String

FileNum = FreeFile
' Reads the entire file into memory all at once
Open "c:DBUpdaterpgstd.txt" For Binary As #FileNum
TotalFile = Space(LOF(FileNum))
Get #FileNum, , TotalFile
Close #FileNum
TotalFile = Replace(TotalFile, vbNewLine, vbTab)
Fields = Split(TotalFile, vbTab)

'For X = 1 To UBound(Fields) Step 1
' Now the array can be used in the mdb comparing
'Debug.Print Fields(X)
'Next

End Function

My issue is that I am trying to read the array in lots of 15 as the text file has 15 columns of data.

Some of the lines only have 4 columns of data, this is throwing out my retrieval process.

Here is a sample of the text file. (copy and paste into a text file read it correctly)

seq_idlevel_idproduct_iddescription_line1description_line2description_line3description_line4supplier_idupc_apndiscount_percentbuy_price_exbuy_price_incrrp_exrrp_incGST_percent

Line two only has 5 tabs then the next line starts, this obviously throws out my reading of fields.

However this file can be imported into Access and all columns are correct, so I know it can be done, just not with my limited VB knowledge.

please Help,

David

If Len(strLine) > 30 Then

I'm trying to get it to read a line and then put the result in a RichTextBox.
Then read the next line and put the result in the RichTextBox, and so on.

The code i have only returns the result from the last line ignoring the rest e.g. "21.40"

Loading Lines From A Text File Line By Line

Reading Text File Line By Line
Hey there guys, i posted here just a few minuits ago, but it seems I hit another problem.

I have this code:

VB Code:
Private Sub Command1_Click()Dim hFile As IntegerDim strContents() As StringDim lngElement As Long Dim a, b hFile = FreeFileOpen "C:helo.txt" For Input As #hFile'Do While Not EOF(hFile)ReDim Preserve strContents(0 To lngElement)Line Input #hFile, strContents(lngElement)lngElement = lngElement + 1'LoopClose #hFile a = Split(strContents(0)) Me.Text1.Text = a(0)Me.Text2.Text = a(1) b = Split(strContents(1)) Me.Text3.Text = b(0)Me.Text4.Text = b(1)Me.Text5.Text = b(2) End Sub

But what it is doing is reading spaces with it, eg.

text file=
---------
john eats
long day today

text1 = john
text2 = east
text3 = long
text4 = day
text5 = today

So how do i change it so it does this:

text1 = john eats
text2 = long day today

Please help, thanks...

Running Text In My Program, One Line At A Time.
Ok, ive asked friends looked in my books, and have come to no avail as to how to accomplish this.

What I am trying to do is, load a text file, and put the contents in text3, this I have already accomplished. Once the text is loaded, I need to make a loop that will put one line from text3 into text1, and run Command1_click. Then it goes on to the next line in text3, puts it in text1, and does Command1_click, and keep doing this until it reaches the end of the text in text3. Can anyone help me to find a way to do this? Id appreciate it a lot.
