Text Align When Outputting To Text File
I have three variables here: item number, description, and price. Each line can be a maximum of 50 characters. I need the first two variables left aligned and the last one right aligned on the same line when outputting to a text file, so it looks like:
Code:
01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789
itemno description, color price
I already wrote functions for right alignment but I cannot figure out how to have two different alignments when outputting to the text file on the same line. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Outputting To A Text File
Lo all, i'm new to this so try to bare with me
I've been creating a DataBased based program for
storing people's details. I won't bore you with the details
but its basically a fancy AddressBook with new fields etc.
Could anyone tell me how to create a button that would save
all (or just the current) database entry to a text file?
Its basically so we can print the details off easier without
using "Me.Print" etc.
If its required I can post the source files in a .zip or .rar.
Outputting To A Text File
Hi Everyone,
The below code is working execept for the fact that it is only displaying the very end of the data. "List1" is the name of my textbox. I have the multiline value set to true. How can I make it display all the data into a text box? Thank you.
VB Code:
If Not (IsEmpty(arrkeynames)) ThenFor Each subkey In arrkeynamesregpath = strkey & "Network" & subkeyregentry = "RemotePath"objreg.getstringvalue HKEY_USERS, regpath, regentry, dapath list1 = subkey & ":" & vbTab & dapath & vbNewLine
Outputting To A Text File.
Hi,
Does anyone have any tips (or know of any good web sites/tutorials) for neatly formatting text in an output file (.txt). I'm finding it difficult to get everything lined up with headers, and because some of the bits of data are of different length, all the bits of data in my tables are out of position.

Outputting To Existing Text File
I am a novice programmer.
How do I output the text appearing on a label so that it outputs to an existing text file exactly as it appears on a label?
This is what I have done so far.
Private Sub PurchaseCmd_Click()
Open "D:Documents and SettingsChris LatinoDesktopProjUnmodifiedProjectpao.dat" For Append As #1
Write #1, receipt.Text
Close #1
End Sub
If Statements - Text File Outputting?
I have a program which reads a text file, line by line, then outputs certains lines to a new text file. Heres an example of a 2 lines in my text file.
H 623556348762 company1
D93
D08
H 623556898798 Company2
D08
D01
D34
Each record begins with a H, therefore in the above example i have 2 records. When the code reads the text file, it outputs those records when D08 comes last in the lines, see record 1 above(company1). BUT when D08 comes in the middle of the record it does not get outputted, see record 2, company2. So if theres a D01 or any other line after a D08 line it ignores my Rule to output.
WHY is this happening to me?!! Ive pasted the IF Statements below which take care of the selection criteria. Basically, i need to output all records which have a D08 line , no matter of its position within the record.
Thanks

Paste the code below into a text file to make it more readable.
'' if this record is still okay

If useThisRecord Then
'' now check through line by line to see if it contains a D93 record

For j = 0 To UBound(strRecord)
'' if there is in fact a D93 record, then check if there's a P field
''
If Left(strRecord(j), 3) = "D93" Then
'' if there is a P at position 62 then this record is not okay
''
useThisRecord = Not (Mid$(strRecord(j), 62, 1) = "P")
If Left(strRecord(j), 3) = "D12" Or Left(strRecord(j), 3) = "D08" Or Left(strRecord(j), 3) = "D93" And Mid$(strRecord(j), 62, 1) = "S" Then
useThisRecord = True
End If

Outputting Strings To A Text File
Hiya, what I want to do is output a series of string variables to a simple .txt file. I know how to do this, but the problem is it outputs the "" marks as well. I want to get rid of these as they can't be read by another program that reads the text file. However the program I'm writing must be able to read the values in the file back as strings. Can anyone help?
Thanx in advance,
Matt

"Mary Jacobs", 430, 350, 700, 630, 290
Using VB6 and reading this text file, lets call it customers.txt, how can I output each customers name with their calculated total purchases into another textfile lets call it custtot.txt that would look like this:
Customer name Total purchases for 5 months
"Harry Jones" 1350

Does this make sense??
Basically I want to be able to calculate their total purchases from the input text file using VB6 and then output these calculated totals to another text file.

Help Outputting Text File Info To A Listbox
Ok, so I've come up with a program that reads in a list of names and sorts them in ascending or descending order according to the option buttons selected by the user. The only problem is I'm having some trouble outputting this information to a list box so I have no idea if my program works or not. I was hoping maybe someone could tell me what it is that I need to do to get this to output. Could it have something to do with the People subroutine?
Thanks in advance!

Vertical Align Text In Text Box / Label Control
I searched on "vertical align" in all forums and did not find this mentioned. (Not that it hasn't been, I just didn't get a hit.)
Anyway, is there a way to vertically align text within a VB 6.0 textbox or label control? (i.e., some programmatic equivalent to the Alignment property) It looks really goofy when the text is crammed against the top of the control ...
Getting some other toolset is not an option. (I am doing this at home for kicks and grins.)
Thanx,

Outputting Text To Net Term
I'm writing code that needs to export data to a text file, but I'm unable to get it to export quotation marks.

Output "rcv:apptext!"
but the code is exporting:
Output rcv:apptext!
I've tried the print to file and write to file commands and neither seem to work. Thanks for your help!
Outputting Text Lines?
I have a text file which contains lines of data. I only need to output certain lines based on the following criteria:-
Each new record begins with "H", ie header record. Then within each header record i can have muliple lines of "D" records, i.e detail records.
For each record beginning with "H" i
ONLY OUTPUT lines, beginning with D08 or D12 or D93
See example test lines below.
example of text file:-
H 20397337568237 company1
D90
D88
H 203866547658769 company 2
D01
D08
H 237693709283470 company3
D08
D01
There are 3 records in the above example. I do not want to output record 1,compnay 1 as it doesnt have a D08 or D12 or D93 beneath it.
I do want to output record 2,companY 2 because it has a D08 beneath it.
I do want to output record 3 , company 3, because it also has a D08 beneath it. However record 3 will not output for me when i use the code below, because D08 is not at the end of line?? Dont know why this is happening, Can anyone re-jig my if statement.
VB Code:
If useThisRecord Then '' now check through line by line to see if it contains a D93 record '' For j = 0 To UBound(strRecord) If (Left(strRecord(j), 3) = "D12") Or (Left(strRecord(j), 3) = "D08") Or Left(strRecord(j), 3) = "H20" Or (Left(strRecord(j), 3) = "D93" And Mid$(strRecord(j), 62, 1) = "S") Then useThisRecord = True Else useThisRecord = False End If ''if there is in fact a D93 record, then check if there's a P field If Left(strRecord(j), 3) = "D93" Then '' if there is a P at position 62 then this record is not okay '' useThisRecord = Not (Mid$(strRecord(j), 62, 1) = "P") End If Next End If

Freezing Richtextbox From Scrolling While Outputting Text
Hi all ... just wonder if there is any codes out there that can freeze the richtextbox from scrolling when outputting a long string of text.
My problem is when outputting a large amount of lines into a richtextbox, it tends to scroll along the last line of input. I want it to be fixed at the top of the richtextbox when outputting. Sometimes .. it remains at the top ... but sometimes .. it follows the last line ... this is weird ... probably due to the system graphic memory ...
Appreciate if anyone can tell me how to freeze the richtextbox when outputting.
Thanks !

Align Text In MsFlexGrid
Hi,
i have a problem with flesgrid here:
After loading the data into the flexgrid. i realised that some of the data in the cells are either aligned to the left or right.How can i standardise the alignment of the text in every cells?
Apart from the above, i would also like to know whether can i add rows (flexgrid) using codes rather than specifying in the property? I'll be better if a sample code can be provided.
Thanks a million,friends!

Align Text To TextBox
I have a form that has one line of text and a textbox. I would like to align the text to the left of the textbox, and centered vertically to the textbox. Is there a way to do this without typing in coordinates or turning off the snap-to-grid and moving it manually? Or, am I just missing the fact that you can do labels for the textbox itself...and all this is taken care of automatically? Thanks in advance!

To Align The Text Box With The Form.......
Hi everybody,
I have created a notepad application. My problem is whenever i maximize the form the text box on the form does not maximize properly or does not fit to the size of the form. I used the resize event of the form. I assigned the height and the width of the form to the height and width of the textbox. But the scrollbars are not adjusted properly. I want that it should maximize properly or fit to the size of the form and also the scrollbars of the textbox should be visible clearly.

Align Text In A Label

Align Text In A Message Box
Hey guys. has anybody else tried this? it doesn't work.
strMessage = ""
for x = 1 to 5
strMessage = strMessage & vbCrLf & strArray(x)
For y = 1 to (70 - Len(strArray(x)))
strmessage = strMessage & " "
Next y
strMessage = strMessage & strArray2(x)
Next x
MsgBox(strMessage)
What is this for? It should take these 2 arrays and make even columns out of them. But it doesn't. The number of characters in the first array aren't always the same width and so the second column is not aligned.
Since I won't know what is going to print in this array, I can't "make" it line up.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Align Columns In Text Box
I have a text box in which multiple columns of figures are displayed as they are computed within my application. Each column may have a varying number of digits or letters.
I want each column to begin at the same relative position in the text box so visually I don't end up with uneven columns. The right side of each column doesn't matter. I realize the font may contribute to unevenness depending upon the character so which font would give me the best results? I don't have a problem with the hard copy output since I convert the contents of the text box to a file and use tabs in the printed results.
Is there a simple way to do this? If I could use tabs in the text box, it would solve the problem. I suppose a series of text boxes (1 for each column) would also work but that would really be a pain. Since the data may go for many lines, I need to have scroll bars or maybe a picture box would do, using currentx,y. I appreciate any advice or solution.

Align Text Box Array With List Box
I have a list box and wish to be able to enter data to the side of the list box , for each item in the list box
eg
List box Text Box
aaaaaaaaaa mmmmm
bbbbbbbbbb pppppp
I have set the text box up as text1(0) etc so that i can
create an array beside the list box
Is there any way of getting the depth of the text box = depth of the list box or visa versa.
Or is there any other trick of being able to enter data beside a list box , line by line.
I suppose at a last resort i could put the data to a table and use a data entry box.
Appreciate any help or ideas.
