Help Needed on reading Text file lines

Hi All

What i am trying to do is read lines 4 to 16 in a text file sample below for exsample line 5 has as a 0 then put this in chk(5) list box if line 5 is a 1 then put this in lst(5) listbox and so on. this it what i done so far.

Dim intPos As Integer
Dim intPos1 As Integer
Dim intPos2 As Integer
Dim strData5 As String
Dim strData6 As String
Dim strDummy As String
Dim strNum As String
Dim i As Integer
intFile = FreeFile
If Dir("D:\Output.txt") <> "" Then
' Timer2.Enabled = False
Open "D:\Output.txt" For Input As intFile
Line Input #1, strDummy
Line Input #1, strDummy
Line Input #1, strDummy
Line Input #1, strDummy
Line Input #1, strData5
Line Input #1, strData6

intPos = InStr(strData6, "# P")
intPos = InStr(strData5, "1")
If intPos > 0 Then
intPos1 = InStr(intPos + 3, strData6, " ")
intPos2 = InStr(intPos + 1, strData5, " ")
If intPos1 > 0 Then
strNum = Mid$(strData6, intPos + 3, intPos1 - (intPos + 3))
lst(CInt(strNum)).AddItem strData6
If intPos2 > 0 Then
strNum = Mid$(strData5, intPos + 2, intPos2 - (intPos + 2))
chk(CInt(strNum)).AddItem strData5
Close #intFile
End If
End If
End If
End If
End Sub

I still don't see what you're trying to achieve, but i can see some issues with this code

Code:

---

Open "D:\Output.txt" For Input As intFile
    Line Input #1, strDummy
    Line Input #1, strDummy
    Line Input #1, strDummy
    Line Input #1, strDummy
    Line Input #1, strData5
    Line Input #1, strData6

---

You're not using intFile, instead you're hardcoding filenumber as #1. This will only work if FreeFile returns 1, if it returns something else it will not work

Code:

---

intPos = InStr(strData6, "# P")
    intPos = InStr(strData5, "1")

---

You do realize that you're overwriting the result from the first statement in your second statement?

As a general suggestion: If your setup of your textfile is always the same (e.g. always 17 lines, a string in line 1, an integer in Line 5 etc.) i would consider to redesign your code for using UDT's

Hi All

I try and word it again. what I would like is if line 17 of the text file contains # P1 then if there is any 0's in the other lines
sample below and to copy just the 0 lines to listboxs not the 1's i.e line 1 data to listbox1 and line 2 data to listbox2 and so on up to 16
but just the 0 lines, but if line 17 contains # p2 then just copy the 0 again and not the 1 but to different named listboxs 1 to 16
I want to do this with #p 3 and #p 4 to different named list boxes 1 to 16 as well maybe more in the future hope this explains better
0

regards
steve

Can you write this out in pseudo-code for us?

e.g....

if line 17 contains the string P1
if lines 1 through 16 contain zeros
??????
else
do what?
end if
else
do what here?
endif

The way you have explained it is very confusing......

So you do not know where to put the data until you have read the last line it seems.

I would use an array

Code:

---

Dim X as Integer
Dim FileLine(1 to 17) As String
Open "D:\Output.txt" For Input As intFile
Do While Not EOF
    X=X+1
    If x>17 then exit do
    Line Input #intFile, FileLine(x)
Loop
Close #intFile

---

Now you would have all the lines in the array you can check FileLine(17) to see what you need to do and from there write a loop that checks each item in the array and puts the desired value in the desired location.

DM, is it possible to use an array as a member of an UDT?

Code:

---

Private type UDTReadFile
Descriptor as String
MyValues(1 to 16) as integer 'or as boolean since it's ones and zeros
End type

---

If it's possible, he could read the whole block in one go, check the descriptor, and then assign the individual values to the correct listbox

very simple this should do it

Code:

---

Private Function ReadFile(FilePath As String)
Dim i As Integer, FF As Integer, Num As Integer
Dim s As String, ReadLine As String, sLine() As String
 
  FF = FreeFile
    Open FilePath For Input As #FF
      Do Until EOF(FF)
        Line Input #FF, ReadLine
        s = s & Trim(ReadLine) & ","
      Loop
    Close #FF
   
  sLine = Split(s, ",")
    Num = CInt(Right(sLine(16), Len(sLine(16)) - 3))
    Select Case Num
      Case 1
        For i = 0 To 15
          If sLine(i) = "0" Then chkp1(i + 1).AddItem sLine(i)
        Next
       
      Case 2
        For i = 0 To 15
          If sLine(i) = "0" Then chkp2(i + 1).AddItem sLine(i)
        Next
       
      Case 3
        For i = 0 To 15
          If sLine(i) = "0" Then chkp3(i + 1).AddItem sLine(i)
        Next
       
      Case 4
        For i = 0 To 15
          If sLine(i) = "0" Then chkp4(i + 1).AddItem sLine(i)
        Next
    End Select
End Function

---

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()
  ReadFile "C:\File.txt"
End Sub

---

This was based on a file example like this

Code:

---

0
0
0
1
0
0
0
1
1
1
1
0
1
1
0
0
# P1 continue

---

now if there was something written after the 1's and 0's you could modify a bit

Example

Code:

---

  Select Case Num
      Case 1
        For i = 0 To 15
          If Left(sLine(i), 1) = "0" Then chkp1(i + 1).AddItem Right(sLine(i), Len(sLine(i)) - 2)        Next
        '.....and change for every case
    End Select

---

I don't know what your User Interface looks like and whether it lends itself to using a Dynamic Control Array, but I'd use a single Control Array of ListBoxes rather than 4 different arrays.
An example of what I mean:

Code:

---

Option Explicit

Private Const MAX_ROWS As Long = 4  ' Number of Rows
Private Const MAX_COLS As Long = 16 ' Number of Cols

Private Sub chkp_Click(Index As Integer)

intRow = (Index \ MAX_COLS) + 1
intCol = (Index Mod MAX_COLS) + 1
MsgBox "chkp" & CStr(intRow) & "(" & intCol & ") Clicked"
End Sub

        '
        intRow = CInt(Mid$(strLines(intI + MAX_COLS), intPos + 1)) - 1
        '
        ' Process the 16 entries
        ' and add to the ListBox if the value is not '1'
        '
        For intJ = intI To intI + (MAX_COLS - 1)
            intCol = intStart
            If Trim$(strLines(intJ)) <> "1" Then
                InsertValue intRow, intCol, strLines(intI)
            End If
            intI = intI + 1
            intStart = intStart + 1
        Next intJ
        intStart = 0
    Else
        boInvalid = True
    End If
    intI = intI + 1

I've attached the file I used to test it.

@MAX187BOUCHER
Thanks for your code on this i need to start from line 5 - 20 there the 16 lines that contain 0's & 1's sorry for got to mention that, but on line 21 has the p1 to p4

@DOOGLE
like i mention above text # p1 is on line 25 and the 0's and 1's start from line 5
regards
steve

Just change the for i = 5 to 20 (might be 14 to 19 or 14 to 20) and... Even that is only 15 0's or 1's
Andxhange Num = Cint...sLine(20)...
Should be easy to fix

@MAX187BOUCHER

How can i change the lines below if there is something after # p3.chr 04/12/12 08:08 for example all i need is the number after the P but this number could be a double number in the future.

Line Input #FF, ReadLine
s = s & Trim(ReadLine) & ","
Loop
Close #FF

sLine = Split(s, ",")
Num = CInt(Right(sLine(16), Len(sLine(16)) - 3))

regards
steve

You could split the string Num

Dim strSplit() As String
'....
Num = Right(sLine(16), Len(sLine(16)) - 3))
strSplit = Split(Num, ".")
Num = CInt(strSplit(0))


Something like this... It is always good to try and explain this situation the first time because that way we dont have to modify code to try to suit your needs

@Max187Boucher

yea sorry about that i was sure there was nothing after # P1 but i was wrong i tryed change the code to what you wrote last but not having much success in this
line Num = Right(sLine(16), Len(sLine(16)) - 3)) i put the cint( before right but still no good.

regards

steve

@steve: Can I suggest that you post an example file (i.e. exactly as it is) and also describe your full requirements. At the moment I get the feeling that you're 'drip feeding' us with what you want.

I am sorry for lack of information here is sample of text file below
and the code below is how it stands now which is working if "# p03" is on its own on online 20 but has you can see
from the text file it has ".chr 04/12/2012 - 17:47:23" in front of the "# P1" which cause a error I just need to use the number after the "p" to decide which chkpx listbox the 0's go in.

Private Function ReadFile(FilePath As String)
Dim i As Integer, FF As Integer, Num As Integer
Dim s As String, ReadLine As String, sLine() As String

FF = FreeFile
Open FilePath For Input As #FF
Do Until EOF(FF)
Line Input #FF, ReadLine
s = s & Trim(ReadLine) & ","
Loop
Close #FF

sLine = Split(s, ",")
Num = CInt(Right(sLine(19), Len(sLine(19)) - 3))
Select Case Num
Case 1
For i = 3 To 18
If sLine(i) = "0" Then chkp1(i - 2).AddItem sLine(i)
Next

Case 2
For i = 3 To 18
If sLine(i) = "0" Then chkp2(i - 2).AddItem sLine(i)
Next

Case 3
For i = 3 To 18
If sLine(i) = "0" Then chkp3(i - 2).AddItem sLine(i)
Next

Case 4
For i = 3 To 18
If sLine(i) = "0" Then chkp4(i - 2).AddItem sLine(i)
Next

That should be sline 18, not 19.
EDIT: that would be IF 'Text File' was not the first line, if it is, then 19 ids fine.

In your example file, you want to use the '1' right after the P....? Then do this:

Num = CInt(Mid(sLine(18), 4, 1))

@samOscarBrown

Sorry I should explain little more the 1 after the P is not always a 1 it could be a 2,3 or 4 maybe more in future the text file can be and will be different each time this text file is created by another piece of software

regards
steve

Understand, but could it be larger than 9? That is, a double-digit int? The mid statement will return ONE character (the 4th one) in that array, no matter if it is a 1, 2, 3, 4, or up to 9. IF it IS just one character, will it always be in the fourth position. that is, will the P always be in the third position? If not, then use either split again, or instr to find the P and get the digit immediately following. You would have to know if the second character following the P was a numeric or not....if it is, then you could include it (and if you are going upwards into hundreds or thousands, you could keep checking, and and long as they are numeric, you can determine Num.) Hard to tell all your possibilities from above, but, the code works for me with the Mid statement....any variances is simply string manipulation to find a set of numeric characters which you then convert to an integer with CINT. If it is ever large numbers, you might have to go to CDBL.

@samoscarbrown

Thanks for the info it should not be no more than 9 so are you saying that using
Num = CInt(Mid(sLine(18), 4, 1)) will do # P1-9

Regards
Steve

yes sir.....as long as P is always the third character in that line and the number (1-9) immediately follows it.

Let me know in your testing....working on mine.

@SamOscarBrown

Thanks for that it worked great, but i used readline string before i.e "chkp1(0).additem readline" and that woud put the line data in the chkp1(0) listbox but not any more it seems like a blank character is going in there now. how would read that line 19 in to that listbox now. Thanks for your help

Steve

INternet has been down here last 24 hours.....will evaluate in a few mins and get back with you....

Well, what you have been doing in your code is not putting ANYTHING is chkp1(0)....you always start with chkp(1):

For i = 3 To 18
If sLine(i) = "0" Then chkp1(i - 2).AddItem sLine(i)
Next

see? If i = 3, then chkp1(i-2) would be chkp(1), not chkp(0).

change it to:

For i = 3 To 18
If sLine(i) = "0" Then chkp1(i - 3).AddItem sLine(i)
Next

sorry i havent got back to you but seems like sam is doing a good job... its just a matter of having the right numbers at the right moment :)

Thanks for all your help
Just one more question on this matter using the Sline(i) string i want to overwrite a text file but the code below keeps adding to it how do i change this code for overwrighting it.

Open "D:\" & strRX & "\check.txt" For Append As #3
Print #3, sLine(i)
Close #3
it needs to write like this.
0
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
not in a row "1111111111111111111" when i use f.write it does it like this.

regards
Steve

in your loop (I'm assuming you are looping through sline(i), put a VBCR (Visual Basic Carriage Return) in the loop after sline(i),

e.g,
for i = 0 to ubound (sline()) -1
print # 3, sline(i) & vbCr
next i

@samOscarBrown
the problem i got is


Private Function ReadFile(FilePath As String)

SO, sline(0) might be 1 or 0, as might sline(1), or sline(2), etc....correct?
If you simply loop through the sline array (say, 1 to 18), and send that data to textbox, you would get "100010010"...etc.
like: for i = 1 to 18
text1.text = text1.text + sline(1)
next x
but if you did this, you would could put that info into a listbox, a multiline textbox OR the file you are creating....
for i = 1 to 18
list1.additem(sline(1) + vbCR)
...or print to your file
next x

it SHOULD appear as

1
0
0
0
1
0
0
etc

I have NOT tried it with your code, but it is a simple set of strings and should work just fine....(unless I made some syntax error).

Just one more question on this matter using the Sline(i) string i want to overwrite a text file but the code below keeps adding to it how do i change this code for overwrighting it.

Open "D:\" & strRX & "\check.txt" For Append As #3
Print #3, sLine(i)
Close #3
it needs to write like this.
0
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
not in a row "1111111111111111111" when i use f.write it does it like this.

I can't tell if you are saying that you want it all on one line or not

print # 3, sline(i) & vbCr

That would actually add a blank line between each value

Print # prints a CRLF at the end by default, adding one would cause 2 of them to be written resulting in a blank line between enteries.

when using Print # you can add a ; on the end to surpress the CRLF

Code:

---

Open "D:\" & strRX & "\check.txt" For Append As #3
Print #3, sLine(i)
Close #3

^^ Would print each value on a seperate line

Code:

---

Open "D:\" & strRX & "\check.txt" For Append As #3
Print #3, sLine(i) ;
Close #3

---

^^ Would print each value on the same line

@Datamiser
I dont want it on 1 line each line to have crlf so using Print #3, sLine(i) but i want it overwrite the text file each time not adding to it

@SamOscarBrown
Thanks think i worked it out now with your help thanks again the only prob i still got is overwrite the text file each time not adding to it

You can actually cheat by doing this:
Copy the Data into a RichTextBox and then grab which line you need by using the SelText property for the RichTextBox...

You said earlier you did not want to add to a file but you are using Append which you would have to use Output instead so it overwrites the text in The file

As Max pointed out...don't use append. Should take care of it......good luck...let us know.

@SamOscarBrown & @ Max187Boucher using code below put only getting 1 character in the text file not 16

for i=3 to 18
Open "D:\" & strRX & "\check.txt" For Output As #3
Print #3, sLine(i)
Close #3

OPen the file before the loop

sBarber, as i said before you need to explain in the first place what you want to acheive! Now i'm kinda lost about what you want i took exactly your words from your first posts and then did a good example for you, but you didnt tell us the right way to do it.

Now we're kinda confused, even Doogle tried to help you but after you changed what yoh wanted. The best way for us to help you would be to havea file example(s) of the same file(s) you are using please post the text file(s)... At least one then you will see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Sam pointed out you need to open file before loop... In my example i opened file before loop or else yes it will only get one line as you are opening file every for-next loop you are using
