Sorting Data From An ASCII Text String And Saving It As Text File
Hi,
I'd first like to copy paste a section of my ASCII text string over here and then ask the question.Given below is the ASCII text string:
RT 01 A_UNIT
DEV 01 A_UNIT
=ontrol Mode ON LOCAL STAT
Occupied YES OCC
CCN Chiller START CHIL_S_S
Alarm State Normal ALM
Active Demand Limit 100 % DEM_LIM
Override Modes in Effect YES MODE
=
=?
RT 01 CIRCA_AN
DEV 01 CIRCA_AN
=IRCUIT A ANALOG VALUES
Percent Total Capacity 100 % CAPA_T
Percent Available Cap. 100 % CAPA_A
Circuit Running Current 185 AMPS A_CURR
Discharge Gas Temp - A2 122.9 dF DISTMPA2
Saturated Condensing Tmp 97.5 dF TMP_SCTA
Saturated Suction Temp 41.5 dF TMP_SSTA
EXV % Open 43 % EXV_A
Variable Head Press Pct. 0 % VHPA
=
=?
Given above is a portion of my ASCII text string.I'd like to know how to sort out the data from this file and copy it in the same format as given above into a new Text File,using the delimiting characters like the white space and the "?".The "?" indicates the end of the file and the following ASCII text string after every "?" indicates the start of a new text file.
I'd be very very grateful to the person who'd give me the solution to this.Thanking you in anticipation.

Ascii To Text
i didnt want to clutter the board and since this question relates i just posted it here. ok well here is where im at. im trying to convert the ascii code back to text. here is how i have it set up.5 text boxes and 2 command boxes the first text box is where the user imputs their message the user presses command button number 1 and that converts text to ascii and posts the ascii in text box 2this is easy no problem now the third text box i call the shifter because it takes what ever number they imput in it and that shifts the ascii up or down that many times also no problem as of now now when the user presses command box number 2 it is suppose to take the shifter and shift the ascii code that many times over which it does and then it is suppose to convert the newly made shifted ascii code back to a new text. example user enters hi converts to ascii 104 05 then user enters +1 for the shift presses convert to text in text box 4 it says 105106 and the new word says "ij" because thats the shift. again my probelm is the changing 105106 to ij im gonna post my whole code so far everything works sept for the bottom
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim c
c = ""
If Len(Text1.Text) = 0 Then Exit Sub
For b = 1 To Len(Text1.Text)

Next
Text2.Text = c
End Sub
Private Sub Command2_Click()
If (Text1.Text) = "" Then
MsgBox "enter your message to be converted then press convert to ascii", , "woops"
Exit Sub
End If
d = ""
c = ""
For b = 1 To Len(Text1.Text)
If Text2.Text = "" Then
MsgBox "first enter a message to be converted then press convert to ascii"
Exit Sub
End If
If Text3.Text = "" Then
MsgBox "enter a number value that you will use to shift the ascii", , "error"
Exit Sub
End If
c = c & Asc(Mid(Text1.Text, b)) + Text3.Text
Next
Text4.Text = c ' everything beyond this point doesnt work
For b = 1 To Chr$(Text4.Text)
d = d & Chr$(Mid(Text4.Text, b))
Next

Ascii Only In Text Box
Ok, I want to type letters and numbers on the key board and
have the ascii code come up in the text box, instead of text.
This is as close as I can get:
_______________________________________________
Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & KeyAscii
End Sub
________________________________________________
The "Text1.Text & KeyAscii" was just to get sequential characters in the text box.
Notice that:
mike becomes, ekim109105107101
Three problems:
1) If I type the word "mike", it comes out backwards(ascii included).
2) I only want ascii not letters and not in reverse order.
3) Things get worse when I try to use the "enter" key.
If you create a simple textbox and cut and past the above code, you will see exactly what I mean.
Thank's for any help!

Ascii Value Converted To Text
how do you make a Textbox show the value of an Ascii value? ... i want it to display a " (ascii 34)
it checks if it doesn't end with a " after the lost focus and then it places it there but i can't say Text1.text = Text1.text & """
i've had similar problems like this so please don't give me me alternatives

ASCII Text Header
Is this header a fixed or variable length header? Meaning:
Will byte 80 always have the value you want?
Take BITPIX for example. If 16 / 16 = 1 Then Len(BITPIX) = 1, but if 16 / 1 = 16 Then Len(BITPIX) = 2
Is NAXIS1 always going to be where you expect it? Or will it vary depending on the information in the header, much like the ID3 frames in an MP3 file?
What Are These Ascii Values As Text?
What is Asc(5)?
What is Asc(12)?
These codes are used as an end of transmission code with the data I am using and I need to know what they actually are.

Ascii Text Compression
Anyone know of a way of compressing a load of text, without the resulting 'data' containing any CR/LFs ?
The reason I ask is because I want to include a large amount of data in an app im making, (about 600K), and I dont want to put the data into a file.
So I wanted to hardcode the compressed the data into the app, and then have it decompress the data at runtime.
Any ideas ?

How To Tell If A File Is Ascii Text Format
Hello,
I am making a simple file viewing demo, which will display the contents of a text file in a multi-line textbox from a file selected in a directory listing. I only want to open the file if it is in "plain text" format - so files like .txt, HTML files, VB files like .frm, .vbp, and .cls would qualify but .frx would not; .exe, .xls. etc. would be excluded as well. (In the case where a non-text or binary file was selected, the multiline textbox would simply display "File is not in text format" or something to that effect.)
Without relying on the file extension, is there a way to test the file to say with reasonable certainty that it qualifies as a "plain text" file? I'd appreciate your thoughts ...

Unix Ascii Text Importing
I am trying to import an ascii text files that is created on a Unix machine. I was wondering if anyone knows how to deal with these file types. The problem that I am having is with the Unix text file because it only end with a carriage return and not with a carriage return and Line Feed. I have tried searching for the carriage return in the file chr(13) but it will not find it.
If anyone has had luck dealing with this in the past any help would be appreciated.

Convert A Unicode Text File To ASCII
I'm trying to read a text file into visual basic, change a part of it, and write it back out a text file. I had been having problems using OPEN (always resulted in an error 36), even though I had tried using LOF and EOF.
I found that the problem was the text file that I am trying to read from is in Unicode. Is there an easy way to convert this text file into an ASCII text file before I read from it?
Ascii Character Set Functions In Text Boxes
Help!!
I am trying to edit some text in a text box by using the ascii codes for the editing functions i.e. chr(8) for delete etc, at the moment when i write the following:
textbox.text = textbox.text & chr(8)
instead of deleting the last character a black rectangle appears, which i guess means the the command is being written as its character rather than its function.
How can i get over this problem??
ps i also want to use the controls for tab, shift, shift lock and the other general keyboard function keys.

Replace Text With Full ASCII Code?
does anyone have that code that will replace everything in data.txt with it's ASCII code? or a function that will do it? Something like this:
Private Function ASCII(data As String) As String
data = Replace(data, ">", "%3E")
data = Replace(data, "`", "%60")
data = Replace(data, "{", "%7B")
data = Replace(data, "|", "%7C")
data = Replace(data, "}", "%7D")
data = Replace(data, "~", "%7E")
data = Replace(data, ":", "%3A")
data = Replace(data, ";", "%3B")
data = Replace(data, "<", "%3C")
data = Replace(data, "=", "%3D")
data = Replace(data, Chr(34), "%22")
PostASCII = data
End Function
I dont think i can find all the ascii. does anyone have it done already?
Printing The Ascii Code Of A String Into A Text Box.
Hi all,
I need a code that will do as the title suggests, take a string, letter by letter, and print out the ascii code to a text box of each letter. I have not used Visual Basic for quite some time, and remember learning how to do this, but forgot how.
Thanks in advance.

Read Only Last Line Of Text/ascii File
Hi Guys,
I needed some help regarding file reading in VB 6. I am writing a program that needs to insert a record in a text file. The text file has following format..
Date, Time, Open Price, Close price
Now i need to insert record only if date is greater than last date in file.
So everytime I need to insert record, I have to open file and read sequentially and then I reach last record. This takes time.
IS there a way to read such file in binary or whatever so that i can get last record straight away or very quickly without going thru all records one by one.
If there is can anyone post a small code.
[Records in the (text) file is like -
01/01/2006, 1100, 123.33, 155.55
01/01/2006, 1130, 122.22, 134.33
01/01/2006, 1200, 112.22, 124.33
so on ... ]
Thanks a lot,
Cheers,

Extended Ascii/unicode String Conversion To Stanard Ascii
I encountered problems when sending certain characters from Windows VB to IBM Mainframe Cobol/DB2 such as
‘(left single quote) or ’(right single quote). All the characters after the extended ascii got cut off. I don't have problems when sending '(single quote).
Is there any vb functions to convert it? Or maybe changing the
XEOLEDB mapping below would fix it (sample code below)?
{L"DESCRIPTION4", NULL, 68,STANDARD_COL_FLAG, 56, DBTYPE_BSTR, 0,0,0},
I am not familiar with IBM Mainframe and the service connecting VB to it. My only solution right now is to use the replace function but I am afraid there will be a performance problem.
thanks

Need Help Sending ASCII Characters (text :p ) As Keystrokes To A Game
Hmm it's been almost 24 hours and my original post only got 4 views and no reply on the API forum, soooo I decided to give you a link here (there's no point in copying the whole post, right?). The thread is this one:

Populate An Access Database From ASCII Text Files
I am writing a VB program (VB6) that creates an Access database with 8 tables, then populates the the tables from 8 corresponding ASCII text files. I have successfully created the the empty mdb. Now I need to populate it. The fields in the ASCII files are not delimited in any way, and each field varies in length (from 2 to 80 characteres). The number of fields in each of the 8 files varies also (from 13 to 25). Is there a quick or easy way to populate the Access database from within the VB program? Or do I have to do it brute force: field by field for each record for each table? There can be tens of thousands of records in some of the tables, too, or as little as a few hundred. Also, this program will be used repeatedly on different text files, so it is more than a one time effort.
Thanks,

Read A 3column Table From An ASCII Text To 2D Array
Dear Pals
There is a FAQ in this forum related to this issue,related to Visual Basic, but it doesnt adress my problem, because it reads data in one line as one text or one value. My problem is to read discrete data in one line as discrete values.
Consider this in a simple Notepad text file(ASCII)
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
ie 3 lines in 3 columns, there is 3 data per line.
How can I read each data separate from the other and say for example A(1)=1; A(2)=2; A(3)=3 etc
A simple line of code will do.
Column Aligning Text Ascii Output File
Code:
For i = 0 To numMeas - 1 Step 1
Print #FileNumber, measurement(i).name, measurement(i).hexID, measurement(i).lDecimalID, measurement(i).sDecimalID
Next i
I am writing data to a text ascii file. This output file will be used as a report. I want the columns to be aligned correctly. Problem is, if the text in the first column is too long (over 13 chars) an extra tab is put in, which makes the data not align properly. Can anyone help me out, on the best way to format my output to text ascii file? vr, Xeifrank

Best Control To Use To Display Contents Of An ASCII Text Appending File?
Hi,
I have a chemical analyser grinding out results for several process streams. As part of saving historical data, I format the results from each analysis into an ASCII string with timestamp, and then append the string to the appropriate sample file.
What is the easiest way to allow the user to scroll through such files?
For event logging, I have set up a series of text lables (15 say) and the used a vertical scroll bar to dispaly 15 of the last 200 events. The events are stored in a circular buffer, which contains the last 200 events. This works well, as I can color each line to indicate the type of event (yellow on red for error, white on green for result, white on blue for standard..). But the coding is fairly complex and am looking for a simple display of analytical results for a given sample stream.
In the case of the anlysis results, the data is appended, so the file just keeps growing. Presumably, monthly files will be separated and stored.
Hiding/deciphering Text Contents Of Ascii Files. Help Pleez!!
Hi,
I have an app in VB6 that generates "String & Numeric" data records during the generation phase, then it writes that data to an external file, for now as ascii. Then during the analysis phase the app reads that data back from the file for further analysis against other similar files. My question is: I do not want any one to be able to read/understand the contents of these data files. In other words, I need to make the contents of that file deciphered/scrambled/unreadable so that when someone opens the file in notepad, they would not be able to understand the contents at all. How can I do that?
The option of ( hiding the file deep in one of the subdir or changing its attribute or changing its extension as a camma-flash ) is not valid and will not work in this case.
I am looking for another elegant option that converts the data during the generation phase to some form of unreadable binary or other encoding scheme. Does anyone have any ideas?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

How Do I Export/save An Access Table As An Ascii Comma Delimited Text File
I need to export a table from an Access database into an ascii comma delimited text file using VB6. The function used in Access VBA is TransferText. Can anyone tell me how the heck you do the same thing using VB6. I have searched the MSDN help file from one end to the other but I am obviously not putting in the right question.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and would stop me going prematurely grey
Binary Files Are Just ASCII Text Files... Why?
I have very little dealings with reading/writing files using binary access. I've always used simple Input/Output as I've only had small tasks to do with files.
I have read many times that when you write out raw binary data to a file and open it up, it looks like a bunch of gibberish. I'm not seeing this.
Here is some sample code of what I'm doing
Code:
Dim x As Long
Dim b(1 To 1000000) As Byte
Dim ff As Long
ff = FreeFile
For x = 1 To 1000000
b(x) = Int(Rnd * 255)
Next
Open "c:inary.txt" For Binary As #ff
Put #1, 1, b
Close #ff
Again, just sample code... what I am really doing is writing my game map data to a file. I put it in a byte array just like b() is.
However, when I open this file up in my text editor, I see everything in ASCII characters.
What happened to the "gibberish" I am supposed to be seeing?
If I did this for example instead
Code:
b(x) = Int(Rnd * 26) + 65
I would see all capital letters when I viewed the file.
Subsequently I am reading the file into my byte array like this sample code
Code:
'Fill the temp array with the file contents
Open "c:inary.txt" For Binary As #ff
ReDim b(LOF(ff))
Get ff, , b
Close #ff
Am I missing something, or is what everyone calls "gibberish" just random ASCII characters they see?
I also write other files that contain mostly text (which I convert to byte arrays). These open as plain text files which are easily readable.
Any input of how I can write "bytes" to files that dont show up as ASCII when opened with a text editor?
Thanks
