Input Not Getting Complete Text File
I am using an Input statement to retrieve a text file (actually a PDB file from my Palm saved on syncing the device). I wish to parse it in my vb app. I am only getting the first 15 chars. up to a hex A6 character. Any thoughts on how I can retrieve the whole file. Thanks Bruce

A Tough One! - Import Text File As Append But Fields Dun Match
I have a database almost finished, but they just changed the format of the updates. Now the updates are delimited text files but the fields that are in the text file aren't in the same order as the database, how can i map the fields correctly?

Copying A Complete Text File 1 Line At A Time
I'm working on a program that will need to load an entire text file into a mainframe application one line at a time. The text file is 77 characters wide and the mainframe system is 80 characters wide, so it will fit without any issues, I'm just trying to figure out the best way to code it to be uploaded. The mainframe system will only accept one line at a time, so the end result needs to be:

VB Code:
Sess0.Screen.Sendkeys(line1 + "<enter>")Sess0.Screen.Sendkeys(line2 + "<enter>")Sess0.Screen.Sendkeys(line3 + "<enter>")Sess0.Screen.Sendkeys(line4 + "<enter>")'etc. etc. etc.

The issue is that each text file will be between 200 & 300 total lines but never the same amount. Is there a way I can set an array up to loop & define as many objects as it needs for each file on a case by case basis? Instead of initially defining it as line(300) or something like that I mean?

Search For Filename Which Match Combo Box Text And Utilize Matched File
Monday morning rigamortis of the brain is preventing me from sailing smoothly this morning...I apologize for my utter stupidity up front...

Ok...Here we go...

I have a combo box (cmb1), a given directory (App.Path & "FX"), a picture box (pic1), a file ("blank.jpg") and a file extension (".jpg").

When the user enters text into cmb1, I need to search (App.Path & "FX") for a file name which matches the user's text. If the text from cmb1 does match a file name in (App.Path & "FX"), I need to display that file in pic1. However, if the text in cmb1 does not find a file name match I want to display the file "blank.jpg" in pic1.

Now, this code works ONLY if there is a direct match. I am almost certain that it is because of the ("FileName = PNE & ".jpg") statement. I believe that a loop of sorts should be utilized to sift through the given directory pulling file names and appling those values to the FileName variable one at a time before making the comparison to PNE. How do I resolve this issue? Is this construction close or would an entirely different method suit my needs better?

Any and all help is very much appreciated...Thank you in advance!

VB Code:
Function ChangePicture() Dim PNE As String Dim FileName As String Dim Dir As String PNE = FrmMain.CmbPartNumber.Text Dir = (App.Path & "FX") FileName = PNE & ".jpg" If FileName = PNE & ".jpg" Then FrmMain.PicInsert = LoadPicture(App.Path & "FX" & PNE & ".jpg") Else: FrmMain.PicInsert = LoadPicture(App.Path & "FXBlank.jpg") End If End Function

Keep in mind that the user will not be entering the file extension into cmb1. Only a possible file name may be entered into cmb1. Secondly, all of the files located in (App.Path & "FX") are .jpg files.

How Can I Get The Height Of My Text Boxes And Listboxes To Match?
Hello -

Can anybody help me match the heights of my list boxes and text boxes?

I am a form which dynamically loads up a combination of 20 user controls at run time. Each user control is a strip with a label, a checkbox and either a list box or a text box (of varying lengths).

When the various user controls get loaded onto the form -the text boxes have more height than the list box in other user controls. The height of all text boxes is 285 and the height of the list box is 255 - however -I can't change the height property of the list box to 285.

Does anyone know of a way to do this or tell me why I can't- or can you suggest a strategy for making all text boxes and list boxes have an equal height.

Thanks very much.

Retrieve Complete Status Bar Text From IE Using VB
Hi

I am trying to retrieve the complete Status Bar text from IE in VB. Using the InternetExplorer object, the StatusBarChange event gives me the text, but sometimes when the text is too long (for example in the case of a very long URL) the text is truncated with "..." at the end.

Does anyone have an idea how to always recover the complete text, irrespective of the length?

Thanks

Running Code From A Text File
If i had a text file, called say code.txt, which had visual basic code in it, could I execute the code from the file during run time.

For example, when the main form loads, it first opens the text file and runs the code that is in the text file, then continues running as per normal.

Thanks.

Calling Code From A Text File
I was wondering how you would go about making a scripting system, where it takes a string from a textfile and then uses that string as though it was code. IE, in the text file there would be a line:

EV_SaveVideoOptions UTIL_SaveVideo

When a certain function in the program is called, it loads the text file and seaches for the string EV_SaveVideoOptions, and finds it associated with UTIL_SaveVideo. Stores UTIL_SaveVideo into a variable, IE:

Input #1, Command

(So command now = "UTIL_SaveVideo")

How can you then call that function, ie:

Call Command (which of course you can't do, since its a variable, not a function or sub), which would actually be calling Call UTIL_SaveVideo.

Any one know how to do this?

Running Code From A Text File?
ok, i would search for this - but i have no idea what to search for

i'm working on a text game - well thinking about it - and i came to wonder... anyone who makes mods for games like NWN or Morrowind will know what i mean - if you don't, hopefully i'm clear enough..

how would one make "scripts"... umm i don't know how to clearly explain it really - but it's like in the editor someone writes something similar to VB code - and it's compiled from a text file during the game.

for instance - in Morrowind you can write scripts on people in a C++ like language... where you do something like

Start Hello Script

if player.race=1 then
npc.speak "hello elf"
end if

end script

-that's not exactly how it works, it's just an example idea. i'm building up ideas to make the most open-ended Text based RPG ever... so i'm trying to figure out how to make it work

i'm thinking of writing a simple engine that takes these commands and executes them. so that VB doesn't read them itself - but my own little "script engine" does - that way i can make my own syntax and whatnot... VERY complicated sounding stuff to me - but i'm willing to put a lot of work into it. anyway - maybe someone could help me with a tutorial or something on how scripting in game editors like morrind or neverwinter nights works.

also - i'm what you would call a beginner in VB - although i've used it for a few years, i never really learned complicated functions - just the basic ones... so something well detailed would be appreciated. hopefully this is clear - thank you!

Text File As Code. Posible?
Can you use a text file using the open "dir path" apend as #1
for code. like type
Title.ForeColor = "764578"
Label1.BackColor = "756357"
into the text file and it will act just like source code in the program say something like

Private Sub Form_Load()
Open "test.txt" For Append As #1
Do Until EOF(1)
Print #1, Text1.Text
Loop
Close #1
End Sub

And this be identical as

Private Sub Form_Load()
Title.ForeColor = "764578"
Label1.BackColor = "756357"
End Sub

What's Wrong With This Text File Code?
Ok here's the code ive got for storing a variable in a text file and then printing the contents of that variable into a text box.

VB Code:
Private Sub cmdSave_Click()'creates file in my documentsOpen "c:My documentsUsername.txt" For Append As #1Close #1 'puts the variable Usrename into the text fileOpen "c:My documentsUsername.txt" For Append As #1Print #1, UsernameClose #1 End Sub Private Sub cmdPrint_Click() 'prints the contents of the file username.txt into the text boxOpen "c:My documentsUsername.txt" For Append As #1Print #1, txtName.TextClose #1 End Sub

The varibale username if you it isn't painfully obvious just hold the persons name e.g. "Bob", "John" etc

can someone please help?

Text Box / TxT File Sort Code
Can anyone give me the code to put the contents off a text box from highest to lowest (Sort) or sort a text file

Example:
7 - Ash Kri
9 - Kay Wells
8 - Bert Winn

Becomes:
9 - Kay Wells
8 - Bert Winn
7 - Ash Kri

my quiz saves the name from the first form to a text file, so the first line is the name, then from the last form it saves the score so the second line is the score.

Kay Wells
9
Bert Winn
7

So basically i want vb on the last form to organise the contents of an external file in to order of highest first or vb to organise the contents of a text box.

To save to file i use this code:

Code:
Private Sub cmdCal_Click()
Rem Replace 'c: est.txt' with the name of the file you want to edit.
Open "c: est.txt" For Append As #1

Print #1, lblResult.Caption

Close #1

End Sub

And to display the contents i use this:

Code:
Private Sub cmdHighScores_Click()
Rem Change "c: est.txt file to change what contents are displayed in the text box"

Dim iFile As Integer

iFile = FreeFile
Open "C: est.txt" For Input Access Read As #iFile
txtFile.Text = Input(LOF(iFile), #iFile)
Close iFile
End Sub

Import Text File In Excel Using VB Code
Hi folks,
My problem is that I am trying to automate a system in which a text file is brought into a worksheet. The code I have so far stops at the "Import Text File" window looking for the "Import" or "Cancel" button to be pressed. Even if I click the "Import" button, then the Import Text Wizard comes up and I have to click "Finish". Does anybody know the commands to avoid having to press these buttons and have the file come into the worksheet without user intervention.

The file name is a variable called FileValue. Here is the code:

SendKeys "^{Home}", True
ChDir "O:BakeryOrdRecapTextFiles"

With Selection.QueryTable
.Connection = "TEXT;O:BakeryOrdRecapTextFiles" & FileValue
.TextFilePlatform = xlWindows
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlFixedWidth
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = True
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(2, 2, 2, 9, 9, 9, 1, 9, 1)
.TextFileFixedColumnWidths = Array(11, 10, 32, 5, 8, 28, 15, 13)
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=True
