search in text file problems

36 New Member
hi all

i search about statement in text file by this code :


Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. LineFlag = LineFlag + 1
  2.       Line Input #1, strLine
  3. If LineFlag = 15 Then
  4.         If InStr(1, strLine, " Transfer completed successfully.") <> 0 Then
  5.             MsgBox "successful"
  6.  
  7.             Else
  8.             MsgBox "failed", vbExclamation, ""
  9.            End If
  10.         End If
but the problem some times the text file contains less than 15 lines and the program get out of if statement.

i want search about statement without write the line number .
i want the program search about statement in file without specified line number .

example :

the program search in text file about this statement : "Transfer completed successfully".
if the program found this statement in any place in text file it shows message box .

thank you

That's fairly simple. Just do the following...
  • Ignore the line number
  • After showing your "successful " msgbox, set a flag to say you did, then exit the loop.
  • Remove the Else clause
  • After the end of the loop, if your flag is not set, then show the "failed" msgbox.

There is no need to count lines if you are just looking for the end of file

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  
  2. do
  3.       Line Input #1, strLine'
  4. loop until eof(#1)
  5. msgbox "File has ended"
  6.  
  7.

I'm just about to start a project that needs to combine the results of a SQL Server query with the results of an Index Server query. The basic idea is that the user enters/selects a bunch of search criteria on a form. Most of the criteria selected by the user will be used to select records from the database - standard WHERE clause stuff - but the user can also enter free-text that should be searched for in associated uploaded documents. The...

Hello guys, I've been building a search facility for an intranet site I'm part of developing and we've been building a search engine using Index Server. It mostly works, however there have been a few niggling problems and fixing it seems to be a case of patching errors as we find them so I'm thinking that it might be worth starting the logic from scratch and rebuilding this again. Basically we have a simple search, which is simply a...

What is the *fastest* way in .NET to search large on-disk text files (100+ MB) for a given string. The files are unindexed and unsorted, and for the purposes of my immediate requirements, can't be indexed/sorted. I don't want to load the entire file into physical memory, memory-mapped files are ok (and preferred). Speed/performance is a requirement -- the target is to locate the string in 10 seconds or less for a 100 MB file. The...

Can you do a search for more that one string in another string? Something like: someString.IndexOf("something1","something2","something3",0) or would you have to do something like: if ((someString.IndexOf("something1",0) >= 0) || ((someString.IndexOf("something2",0) >= 0) ||

Not sure where to post this... Found some interesting behavior in Windows Search (Start =Search =All files and folders =search for "A word or phrase in the file:"). This applies to XP and maybe other Windows flavors. Procedure: 1. Create a simple text file named test.txt. 2. Open the text file in a text editor and add a simple test word such as "blah" (not quotes).
