[RESOLVED] Parsing/Copying Strings

[mbutler755]

I built a helpdesk version of a program that would parse out certain information. Now, I am trying to automate it using the same code under a load event and I just can't get it to work. The original code was worked on by .paul. and he did a great job! The original forum is located here.

My Code:

Imports System.Text
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO
Imports System.Collections.ObjectModel
 
 
Public Class SecurityParser
 
    Private Sub SecurityParser_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
 
        ' Fill textbox1 with the original DEBOUT.TXT
        '
        Dim DeboutTXT As String = My.Settings.DeboutLocation
        Dim fileContents As String
        fileContents = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(DeboutTXT)
        TextBox1.Text = fileContents
 
        ' Search the contents of the textbox for the keywords
        '
        Dim lines As New List(Of String)(IO.File.ReadAllLines(DeboutTXT))
        Dim matches = (From line In lines Where line.contains("Login") Or line.contains("Username") _
                     Or line.contains("Logout") Or line.contians("rpt") Or line.contains("USERNAME") _
                     Select "LINE " & lines.IndexOf(line) & ": " & line).toarray
 
        If matches Is Nothing OrElse matches.length = 0 Then MsgBox("Nothing found") : Return
        TextBox2.Lines = matches
 
        ' Create the audited file, will be moved by the form1.load event in the background worker
        '
        My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(My.Settings.XFER_Dir & "AM-AUDIT.TXT", TextBox2.Text, False)
 
    End Sub
End Class

I am getting one error, which is:

Error	1	Expression of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List(Of String)' is not queryable. Make sure you are not missing an assembly reference and/or namespace import for the LINQ provider.	C:\Documents and Settings\mbutler\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\Briad Backup\Briad Backup\SecurityParser.vb	20	37	Briad Backup

I did not need to call any references for the other program and I am just wondering if I am missing something. Any help is much appreciated.
