Using VB.NET, How do I convert a .txt file extension to a .xls file
extension? The text file is already created and saved in a folder on the
server.
Thanks

Steve,
System.IO.File. Move("c:\test.t xt", "c:\test.xl s")

If the text file is really just a text file, changing its extension will
not convert it to an excel file magically...
If you have a text file, you'll need to parse it and insert the data in
the Excel file. Fortunately, you can use ADO.NET to connect to Excel
files like to a DB (though with some restrictions), so it's not that
complicated to interact with Excel files even in environments where
Excel itself is not available or cannot be automated.

Thanks guys, I haven't tried System.IO.File. Move("c:\test.t xt",
"c:\test.xl s") yet, but I have found that the following code will magically
produce an Excel file with cells A1:A5 populated: This is not documented
anywhere, I just tried it to see what would happen!
Dim pathAndFileName As String = Server.MapPath( "Data/Test.xls")
Dim sr As StreamWriter = File.CreateText (pathAndFileNam e)
Dim xData, str_1,str_2,str _3,str_4,str_5 As String
str_1="This"
str_2="is"
str_3="a"
str_4="Test"
xData = "str_1 & vbTab & str_2 & vbTab & str_3 & vbTab & str_4
sr.WriteLine(xD ata)
sr.Close()

Hi All,
I managed to get Content-Type (i.e. image/gif) from file extension (.gif) in

more tricky. Does anyone know a way to do so?

From python manual
str( )
Return a string containing a nicely printable representation of an
object. For strings, this returns the string itself. The difference
with repr(object) is that str(object) does not always attempt to
return a string that is acceptable to eval(); its goal is to return a
printable string. If no argument is given, returns the empty string,
''.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
