[RESOLVED] Input past EOF

Evening to all, again i have problem with file editing, this time runtime error 62.

What i try to do is, open 1 file (default file for my program), for input
then take values from textboxes and replace default values and save it as file2.

I readed file I/O tutorial, but that did not help me much...
My "file editing code " is this:

Code:

---

Open SampFolder & "\erpmod\mod\tooresbind.sav" For Input As #1
      Open SampFolder & "\erpbind.sav" For Output As #2 ' make sure different path then the original file or different name
    Do While Not EOF(1)
      Input #1, tooresBind1
      bind1 = Replace(tooresBind1, "tooresbind1", Text1.Text)
      Print #2, bind1 '
      Input #1, tooresBind2
      bind2 = Replace(tooresBind2, "tooresbind2", Text2.Text)
      Print #2, bind2
      Input #1, tooresBind3
      bind3 = Replace(tooresBind3, "tooresbind3", Text3.Text)
      Print #2, bind3
      Input #1, tooresBind4
      bind4 = Replace(tooresBind4, "tooresbind4", Text4.Text)
      Print #2, bind4
      Input #1, tooresBind5
      bind5 = Replace(tooresBind5, "tooresbind5", Text5.Text)
      Print #2, bind5
      Input #1, tooresBind6
      bind6 = Replace(tooresBind6, "tooresbind6", Text6.Text)
      Print #2, bind6 '
Loop
Close #1
Close #2

---

And default file for input is this:

Code:

---

[SendKey]
Send1=t/login tooresparool~
Send2=t/mootor~
Send3=t/tooresbind1~
Send4=t/tooresbind2~
Send5=t/tooresbind3~
Send6=t/tooresbind4~
Send7=t/tooresbind5~
Send8=t/tooresbind6~
Send9=
Send10=
Send11=
Send12=
Send13=
Send14=
Send15=
Send16=
Send17=
Send18=
Send19=
Send20=
[HotKey]
Key1=42
Key2=43
Key3=0
Key4=1
Key5=2
Key6=3
Key7=4
Key8=5
Key9=8
Key10=9
Key11=10
Key12=11
Key13=12
Key14=13
Key15=14
Key16=15
Key17=16
Key18=17
Key19=18

act14=False
act15=False
act16=False
act17=False
act18=False
act19=False
act20=False

I think it reads input file wrongly...

I hope you guys understand what i mean (english is not my native language so its hard to explain myself correctly)

Idea is that it takes from input line

Code:

---

Send3=t/tooresbind1~

---

And replaces this with Text1.Text value..

Code:

---

Send4=t/tooresbind2~

---

with Text2.Text value, and so on...

Are you taking into considerations about the extra [....] lines in the file?

[SendKey]
[HotKey]
[Activate]

When you first open your input file and do your first Input #1, tooresBind1
statement your first line that actually is read is [SendKey].

I always use Line Input #1 rather than Input #1. Not sure what the dufference is but I don't think it has to do with your problem but I do think you need to consider the extra lines.

Also I see that in your loop you are reading in 6 lines per itteration through the loop but your file is not in multiples of 6. Don't quite understand your thinking here.

Your input file has 63 lines.

You loop 10 time reading in 60 records

Then it starts to loop again; the 11th time

It reads in 3 more records

This is your 63 lines

Then it tried to read one more....this is your Input Past EOF error

So, you need to allow for the [....] lines and you need to make sure your number of lines to process in the file are equal in multiples of the number of lines you process each time through the loop.

Since i am a beginner, this is not written from my head, i searched google for samples.
All i really want to do is replace on those lines (bolded out exact what replace)
Send3=t/tooresbind1~ --------- Text1.Text
Send4=t/tooresbind2~ --------- Text2.Text
Send5=t/tooresbind3~ --------- Text3.Text
Send6=t/tooresbind4~ --------- Text4.Text
Send7=t/tooresbind5~ --------- Text5.Text
Send8=t/tooresbind6~ --------- Text6.Text


So its the loop that messes things up?

input past end of file mostly occurs when there is and eof character within the content of the file

this can be resolved by opening the file for binary instead of input, as eof characters are just read as part of the file

alteratively if you know how many lines are in the input file, you can just loop for that number of lines, instead of until eof

for i = 1 to numberoflines

It is exactly the way I posted it. Your Do Loop only allows for multiples of 6 so your input must also be in multiple of 6. You must also read in the [...] lines and bypass them as they are not part of the lines you are processing.

I have run into this many times, usually when using Input$() to read a text file. When I back down only one or two characters of the read rather than LOF(), the error disappears. That often makes me wonder what is going on at EOF().

Nobody has ever been able to explain this to me, so I abandoned Input$() and now read all text files in binary when I want the entire file in memory. Do you blame me? :afrog:

not at all
i believe some programs put an eof character at the end of file, edlin maybe one of those also i have struck problem with text files saved in word, so yes binary is safer to avoid error, but may need to handle eof character in the returned strings

This is NOT the case with a "pure" text file. The problem is what jmsrickland already explained.
The error happend at round 11th at the line
Input #1, tooresBind4
after all 63 lines of the file were read.

"While Not EOF(1)" need to check after every Input #1, but you do 6 consecutive Input #1 at a time before checking EOF(1), so it fails at 64th Input #1

Try this:

Code:

---

    Dim sLine As String
   
    Open SampFolder & "\erpmod\mod\tooresbind.sav" For Input As #1
    Open SampFolder & "\erpbind.sav" For Output As #2
    Do While Not EOF(1)
        Line Input #1, sLine
        Select Case Left$(sLine, 6)
            Case "Send3=": sLine = "Send3=t/" & Text1.Text & "~"
            Case "Send4=": sLine = "Send4=t/" & Text2.Text & "~"
            Case "Send5=": sLine = "Send5=t/" & Text3.Text & "~"
            Case "Send6=": sLine = "Send6=t/" & Text4.Text & "~"
            Case "Send7=": sLine = "Send7=t/" & Text5.Text & "~"
            Case "Send8=": sLine = "Send8=t/" & Text6.Text & "~"
        End Select
        Print #2, sLine
    Loop
    Close #1
    Close #2

What irks me most is that Input$() sometimes works and sometimes does not from one text file to the next, and I find that a bit nerve wracking. :sick:

Thanks a ton, that solved my problem, and i will write that down, since its a good way to do replascements.

Thank you all!
