[VB6] Read In A File Delete Text And Write File
I have a tab delimited text file that I need to read in, remove text up to and including the first CR/LF and then write the remaining text back out to a file.
In the example file below, the first CR/LF is after 20080513 (although that number could be different). The file always starts with the word "Report". As an example, what I need to do in the file below is read the file in, remove the first line up to and including the CR/LF (which in the case below is Report Executed at Mon May 14 20:28:24 CDT 2007 for dates between 20070315 and 20080513 ) and then write the remainder of the file back out to another file.
Here is an example of the tab delimited file: (sample.txt)
Report Executed at Mon May 14 20:28:24 CDT 2007 for dates between 20070315 and 20080513

Delete This File - If It's There - Help?
I have a button set to "Kill" (Delete) a file
called temp.html. The button works fine if the
file exists (it is usually written by another
button.) But if its not there, I get a runtime
error and the program ends.
What can I add to the button's code to
give some sort of error and not end the program
if the file is not there.
Code currently reads:
Kill "C:Program FilesLink Creator emp.html"
MsgBox "Old Temp.html File Has Been Deleted. You May Now Create A New One", vbOKOnly, "Insert A Program Name Here"

Is it possible to delete a file (e.g. a Word doc) using VB?

Please help!

If FileLen("C: emp" & lstSwfs.List(x)) > 0 Then
VBA.FileSystem.Kill ("C: emp" & lstSwfs.List(x))
End If
This works if the file exists, if the file doesn't exist on the hard drive, it errors out with File Not Found...how do I make this work? Basically I want it to delete said file if its there.
Can't Delete File
I am having problems deleting(kill) a file stored on a network folder (which I have mapped up on my workstation). If I try to run the kill on the file I get an exception saying "unauthorized access", but if I use the file explorer I can delete the file just fine. Which possible sources of error is there? I am sure no one has the file open.

Delete A File Using VB?
I'm trying to delete a reusable file in a VB6 app. This file is for importing information into a seperate Access DB and will be used multiple times. Should I delete it using the kill command like this(which doesn't work right now)-
Pathway = App.Path
FullPath = Pathway & "ImportFile.txt"
If FullPath <> 0 Then
Kill FullPath
End If
Or should I just overwrite the data in the file(which I doon't know how to do).

Delete File
I check if a file is empty or not based on bytes. If it is empty I want to delete it. But I keep getting permission denied when it tries to delete it...and there is no security on the file:
Dim fs As Object
Dim a As Object
Dim Days As Long
Dim pathNameStr As String
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
pathNameStr = "C: est est.txt"
Set a = fs.CreateTextFile(pathNameStr, True)
a.WriteLine
If FileLen(pathNameStr) = 0 Then
'empty text file
'just delete it
fs.DeleteFile pathNameStr
Else
'dont delete it...an error has occured
End If
Why doesnt this work? I want to delete a file that contains no text.
