Reading and writing text files is an essential task in any programming language. Follow this step-by-step approach to working with text files in VB .NET.

Years ago, when I first learned to program in BASIC, I came across a sample program for reading a text file. The OPEN command with the file number looked quite confusing, so I never wrote the program. Later, when I learned Visual Basic, I was shocked to see that the same file operations existed in VB. The basic file-handling commands had not changed; just a few more features had been added.

With Visual Basic .NET, Microsoft introduced a new, object-oriented method for working with files. The System.IO namespace in the .NET framework provides several classes for working with text files, binary files, directories, and byte streams. I will look specifically at working with text files using classes from the System.IO namespace.

Basic methods
Before we jump into working with text files, we need to create a new file or open an existing one. That requires the System.IO.File class. This class contains methods for many common file operations, including copying, deleting, file attribute manipulation, and file existence. For our text file work, we will use the CreateText and OpenText methods.

WEEKLY .NET HOW-TOS

New .NET tutorials updated every Thusday with Cast Your .NET

CreateText
True to its name, the CreateText method creates a text file and returns a System.IO.StreamWriter object. With the StreamWriter object, you can then write to the file. The following code demonstrates how to create a text file:
Dim oFile as System.IO.File
Dim oWrite as System.IO.StreamWriter
oWrite = oFile.CreateText(“C:\sample.txt”)
OpenText

The OpenText method opens an existing text file for reading and returns a System.IO.StreamReader object. With the StreamReader object, you can then read the file. Let’s see how to open a text file for reading:
Dim oFile as System.IO.File
Dim oRead as System.IO.StreamReader
oRead = oFile.OpenText(“C:\sample.txt”)
Writing to a text file

The methods in the System.IO.StreamWriter class for writing to the text file are Write and WriteLine. The difference between these methods is that the WriteLine method appends a newline character at the end of the line while the Write method does not. Both of these methods are overloaded to write various data types and to write formatted text to the file. The following example demonstrates how to use the WriteLine method:
oWrite.WriteLine(“Write a line to the file”)
oWrite.WriteLine() ‘Write a blank line to the file
Formatting the output

The Write and WriteLine methods both support formatting of text during output. The ability to format the output has been significantly improved over previous versions of Visual Basic. There are several overloaded methods for producing formatted text. Let’s look at one of these methods:
oWrite.WriteLine(“{0,10}{1,10}{2,25}”, “Date”, “Time”, “Price”)
oWrite.WriteLine(“{0,10:dd MMMM}{0,10:hh:mm tt}{1,25:C}”, Now(), 13455.33)
oWrite.Close()

The overloaded method used in these examples accepts a string to be formatted and then a parameter array of values to be used in the formatted string. Let’s look at both lines more carefully.

The first line writes a header for our report. Notice the first string in this line is {0,10}{1,10}{2,25}. Each curly brace set consists of two numbers. The first number is the index of the item to be displayed in the parameter array. (Notice that the parameter array is zero based.) The second number represents the size of the field in which the parameter will be printed. Alignment of the field can also be defined; positive values are left aligned and negative values are right aligned.

The second line demonstrates how to format values of various data types. The first field is defined as {0,10:dd MMMM}. This will output today’s date (retrieved using the Now() function) in the format 02 July. The second field will output the current time formatted as 02:15 PM. The third field will format the value 13455.33 into the currency format as defined on the local machine. So if the local machine were set for U.S. Dollars, the value would be formatted as $13,455.33.

Listing A shows the output of our sample code.

Listing A

Date Time Price
22 July 10:58 AM $13,455.33


Reading from a text file
The System.IO.StreamReader class supports several methods for reading text files and offers a way of determining whether you are at the end of the file that's different from previous versions of Visual Basic.

Line-by-line
Reading a text file line-by-line is straightforward. We can read each line with a ReadLine method. To determine whether we have reached the end of the file, we call the Peek method of the StreamReader object. The Peek method reads the next character in the file without changing the place that we are currently reading. If we have reached the end of the file, Peek returns -1. Listing B provides an example for reading a file line-by-line until the end of the file.

Listing B

oRead = oFile.OpenText(-C:\sample.txt")

While oRead.Peek <> -1
LineIn = oRead.ReadLine()

End While

oRead.Close()


An entire file
You can also read an entire text file from the current position to the end of the file by using the ReadToEnd method, as shown in the following code snippet:
Dim EntireFile as String
oRead = oFile.OpenText(“C:\sample.txt”)
EntireFile = oRead.ReadToEnd()

This example reads the file into the variable EntireFile. Since reading an entire file can mean reading a large amount of data, be sure that the string can handle that much data.

One character at a time
If you need to read the file a character at a time, you can use the Read method. This method returns the integer character value of each character read. Listing C demonstrates how to use the Read method.

Listing C

Dim intSingleChar as Integer

Dim cSingleChar as String

oRead = oFile.OpenText(-C:\sample.txt")

While oRead.Peek <> -1

intSingleChar = oRead.Read()

' Convert the integer value into a character

cSingleChar = Chr(intSingleChar)

End While

Tap into the power
We've barely scratched the surface of the new file functionality included in .NET, but at least you have an idea of the power now available in the latest edition of Visual Basic .The abilities of the classes in the System.IO namespace are quite useful, but if you want to continue to use the traditional Visual Basic file operations, those are still supported.

Imports System.IO

Reading Text Files:
the easiest way to open a text file is with the System.IO.File.OpenText() method.



Code:'Dim your StreamReader
Dim TextFileStream As System.IO.TextReader



'Load the textfile into the stream
TextFileStream = System.IO.File.OpenText("C:\MyTextFile.txt")



'Read to the end of the file into a String variable.
Dim MyFileContents As String = TextFileStream.ReadToEnd



'Close the Stream object
TextFileStream.Close()



The above code will open a text file on your C drive called MyTextFile.txt. It will load all of the text into a string variable called MyFileContents.
It won't create a file of that name if it doesn't already exist (and will throw an exception which you should handle - but see later in the FAQ for how to create a new file).




Creating Text Files:



Code:'Dim your Text Writer
Dim TW As System.IO.TextWriter



'Create a Text file and load it into the TextWriter
TW = System.IO.File.CreateText("C:\MyTextFile.txt")



'Write a line
TW.WriteLine("Hello World")



'Write another line
TW.WriteLine("Hello World Again")



'Flush the text to the file
TW.Flush()



'Close the File
TW.Close()




Append to an existing Text file:



Code:'Dim your Stream Writer or Text Writer.
Dim SW As IO.TextWriter



'Open a file for Appending
SW = IO.File.AppendText("C:\MyTextFile.txt")



'Write a line to the bottom of the text file
SW.WriteLine("This is another line added to the bottom of the text file.")



'Flush to the file
SW.Flush()



'Close the object
SW.Close()



Here is how to get a random line from a text file with the smallest code I can think of.
Extracting One Line From a File:



Code:Dim RandomNumber As New Random()
Dim Tr As IO.TextReader = System.IO.File.OpenText("C:\MyTextFile.txt")
Dim FileLines() As String = Split(Tr.ReadToEnd(), vbCrLf)
Tr.Close
Dim MyRandomLine As String = FileLines(RandomNumber.Next(0, UBound(FileLines)))
MsgBox(MyRandomLine)



If you know what line you want to access then you can make it smaller like this :



Code:
Dim Tr As IO.TextReader = System.IO.File.OpenText("C:\MyTextFile.txt")
Dim MyFileLine As String = Split(Tr.ReadToEnd(), vbCrLf)(3)
Tr.Close
MsgBox(MyFileLine)



Note that the above code will return the fourth line from the file. It's zero based, so you would enter (0) for line 1, (1) for line 2 and so on.



So, there's some easy and basic ways of getting text into and out of a text file in .Net. Try It !

This step-by-step article shows you how to do six basic file input/output (I/O) operations in Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 or in Microsoft Visual Basic .NET. If you are new to .NET, you will find that the object model for file operations in .NET is similar to the FileSystemObject (FSO) that is popular with many Visual Studio 6.0 developers. To make the transition easier, the functionality that is demonstrated in this article is based on the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
186118 (https://support.microsoft.com/kb/186118/ ) How to use FileSystemObject with Visual Basic
You can still use the FileSystemObject in .NET. Because the FileSystemObject is a Component Object Model (COM) component, .NET requires that access to the object be through the Interop layer. .NET generates a wrapper for the component for you if you want to use it. However, the File, FileInfo, Directory, DirectoryInfo classes, and other related classes in the .NET Framework, offer functionality that is not available with the FSO, without the overhead of the Interop layer.

Requirements
The following list outlines the recommended hardware, software, network infrastructure, and service packs that you need:

Demonstrated file I/O operations
The examples in this article describe basic file I/O operations. The "Step-by-step example" section describes how to create a sample program that demonstrates the following file I/O operations:

* Read a text file
* Write a text file
* View file information
* List disk drives
* List subfolders
* List files

Read a text file
The following sample code uses a StreamReader class to read the System.ini file. The contents of the file are added to a ListBox control. The try...catch block is used to alert the program if the file is empty. There are many ways to determine when the end of the file is reached; this sample uses the Peek method to examine the next line before reading it.

Dim reader As StreamReader = _
New StreamReader(winDir & "\system.ini")
Try
Me.ListBox1.Items.Clear()
Do
Me.ListBox1.Items.Add(reader.ReadLine)
Loop Until reader.Peek = -1

Catch
Me.ListBox1.Items.Add("File is empty")

Finally
reader.Close()
End Try


Write a text file
This sample code uses a StreamWriter class to create and write to a file. If you have an existing file, you can open it in the same way.

Dim writer As StreamWriter = _
New StreamWriter("c:\KBTest.txt")
writer.WriteLine("File created using StreamWriter class.")
writer.Close()


View file information
This sample code uses a FileInfo object to access a file's properties. Notepad.exe is used in this example. The properties appear in a ListBox control.

Dim FileProps As FileInfo = New FileInfo(winDir & "\notepad.exe")
With Me.ListBox1.Items
.Clear()
.Add("File Name = " & FileProps.FullName)
.Add("Creation Time = " & FileProps.CreationTime)
.Add("Last Access Time = " & FileProps.LastAccessTime)
.Add("Last Write Time = " & FileProps.LastWriteTime)
.Add("Size = " & FileProps.Length)
End With
FileProps = Nothing


List disk drives
This sample code uses the Directory and Drive classes to list the logical drives on a system. For this sample, the results appear in a ListBox control.

Dim dirInfo As Directory
Dim drive As String
Me.ListBox1.Items.Clear()
Dim drives() As String = dirInfo.GetLogicalDrives()
For Each drive In drives
Me.ListBox1.Items.Add(drive)
Next


List subfolders
This sample code uses the GetDirectories method of the Directory class to get a list of folders.

Dim dir As String
Me.ListBox1.Items.Clear()
Dim dirs() As String = Directory.GetDirectories(winDir)
For Each dir In dirs
Me.ListBox1.Items.Add(dir)
Next


List files
This sample code uses the GetFiles method of the Directory class to get a list of files.

Dim file As String
Me.ListBox1.Items.Clear()
Dim files() As String = Directory.GetFiles(winDir)
For Each file In files
Me.ListBox1.Items.Add(file)
Next


Many things can go wrong when a user gains access to files. The files may not exist, the files may be in use, or users may not have rights on the files of folders that they are trying to access. It is important to consider these possibilities when you write code and to handle the exceptions that may be generated.

Note You must change the code in Visual Basic 2005. By default, Visual Basic creates two files for the project when you create a Windows Forms project. If the form is named Form1, the two files that represent the form are named Form1.vb and Form1.Designer.vb. You write the code in the Form1.vb file. The Windows Forms Designer writes the code in the Form1.Designer.vb file. The Windows Forms Designer uses the partial keyword to divide the implementation of Form1 into two separate files. This behavior prevents the designer-generated code from being interspersed with your code.

For more information about the new Visual Basic 2005 language enhancements, visit the following Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) Web site:
https://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms379584(vs.80).aspx (https://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms379584(vs.80).aspx)
For more information about partial classes and the Windows Forms Designer, visit the following MSDN Web site:
https://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171843.aspx (https://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171843.aspx)
5. Press F5 to build and then run the program. Click the buttons to view the different actions. When you view the sample code, you may want to collapse the area named Windows Form Designer Generated Code to hide this code.

Subject read html from web control

Reply

At times, you may want to read text or other HTML from the contents of the WebBrowser control. To this end, you can simply place some kind of collection code in the control's DocumentComplete() event. As you may know, the WebBrowser fires this event when it has successfully downloaded the Web page in question. With this in mind, the code might look as follows:

Private Sub WebBrowser1_DocumentComplete(ByVal pDisp As Object, URL As Variant)
Label1.Caption = WebBrowser1.Document.All("myElem").innerHTML
End Sub

Keep in mind, however, that this code only works for Web pages that don't contain frames. Since the DocumentComplete() event fires once for each frame, the original code might actually try to access a document element that doesn't yet exist (hasn't been rendered in the browser).

To work around this potential pitfall, you can use a conditional to test the pDisp object against the WebBrowser control itself. With multi-frame documents, the WebBrowser fires the DocumentComplete() event one last time after it has loaded all the necessary frames. With this in mind, the following code would accommodate this behavior and fill the Label with the appropriate text under all circumstances.

Private Sub WebBrowser1_DocumentComplete(ByVal pDisp As Object, URL As Variant)
If (pDisp Is WebBrowser1.object) Then
Label1.Caption = WebBrowser1.Document.All("myElem").innerHTML
End If
End Sub
