Hi, i am new to VB.Net and really enjoying the trip so far =)
However I have this problem:
I was wondering if anyone is familiar with how to go about reading in an
Excel ".csv" file? I had a search on the internet and found some VB6 code
examples, but i don't think VB6 code is the same as VB.Net is it?
I basically need to read the file in, storing the data (which is arranged in
columns) into a 2Dimensional array.
From there i want to write that data to a database table (most likely
Access) for permanent storage. Any future oeprations on the data (such as
search, edit) will reference the database table i wrote to.
I am familiar with using things like a StringTokenizer in Java, loops and
reading file in, but what do we have available in VB.Net? And should i take
note of the VB6 examples i found or start from scratch?
Any help or reference links is greatly appreciated!
Regards

Nick,
The closest thing to StringTokenizer in .NET is String.Split.
There are actually three Split functions in VB.NET:
Use Microsoft.Visua lBasic.Strings. Split if you need to split a string based
on a specific word (string). It is the Split function from VB6.
Use System.String.S plit if you need to split a string based on a collection
of specific characters. Each individual character is its own delimiter.
Alternatively use System.Text.Reg ularExpressions .RegEx.Split to split based
on matching patterns.
Hope this helps

Hi Nick,
Can you save the data in the excel file as XML, if you can you can read it
directly into a data adapter using the ReadXML function.
Cheers

Hi all,
I suppose some of you know the program Redmon (type redmon in google, first
result). This neat little tool allows to hook up any functionality to a
printer by putting the file printed to the printer to standard in.
You have to provide yourself the program that does something with that data,
so I thought with some quick c/c++ programming that would be no problem. I
tried dozens of ways of reading the data from stdin or cin,...

Greetings,
I need to read (unformatted text) from stdin up to EOF into a char
buffer; of course I cannot allocate my buffer until I know how much
text is available, and I do not know how much text is available until I
have read it... which seems to imply that multiple reads of the input
stream will be inevitable.
Now I can correctly find the number of characters available by:

Hi folks,
Suppose I have a large (1 GB) text file which I want to read in
reverse. The number of characters I want to read at a time is
insignificant. I'm confused as to how best to do it. Upon browsing
through this group and other sources on the web, it seems that there
are many ways to do it.
Some suggest that simply fseek'ing to 8K bytes before the end of file,
and going backwards is the way. In this case, am I guaranteed best
results...

Hi. I'm having trouble reading some unicode files. Basically, I have to
parse certain files. Some of those files are being input in Japanese,
Chinese etc. The easiest way, I figured, to distinguish between plain
ASCII files I receive and the Unicode ones would be to check if the
first two bytes read 0xFFFE.
But nothing I do seems to be able to do that.
I tried reading it in binary mode and reading two characters in:

then do some math using all of those lines. Then do it again on another

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