Inverse matrix of NxN matrix
From the analogy of the above formulae, the computation time of inverse matrix of NxN
matrix will be O(N3N!). Computing inverse matrix with Gauss-Jordan method, the
method using LU decomposition, and the method using SVD, will take a computation
time of O(N3) (not confident). I will recommend not to use the formula for calculating
inverse matrix of NxN matrix which N >= 4.

Introduction:
As you can see from the title, this is a tutorial on simply reading and writing Text Files. Let's begin.

Steps of Creation:
Step 1:
This will require one Import which is to enable us to read and write files. The Import is System.IO:

1. Imports System.IO

Step 2:
The design this program is going to need is to have one textbox to contain the file contents, another textbox
to store the current file path, one button to read a file and another to save the file. The naming of these are:
Textbox1 = Textbox containing file contents
Textbox2 = File Path
Button1 = Read
Button2 = Write

I would also recommend setting ReadOnly to True on textbox2 so the user can not edit the file path.

Step 3:
Now, on to the code!
First let's create the read code, double click on the read button to get our click event generated.

1. Class Form1
2. Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Handles Button1.Click
3. Dim fo As New OpenFileDialog
4. fo.RestoreDirectory = True
5. fo.Filter = "txt files (*.txt)|*.txt"
6. fo.FilterIndex = 1
7. fo.ShowDialog()
8. If (fo.FileName = Nothing) Then
9. MsgBox("Error: No path selected")
10. Else
11. TextBox2.Text = fo.FileName
12. Using sr As New streamreader(fo.FileName)
13. TextBox1.Text = sr.readtoend()
14. End Using
15. End If
16. End Sub
17. End Class

As you can see we create a new variable called "fo" which is set to a New OpenFileDialog. Then we set
some properties of this dialog. The RestoreDirectory means whenever it opens the starting folder will be the
last visited directory from any Windows Explorer/Browser you have used. We then set the file types which
can be opened, I only used .txt but you can also set things like .csv, after that we set the default file type to
.txt (my only file type). We then display the dialog box to the user.

After the user selects a file to read we then check whether the file is set to nothing (If they closed the box)
and display an error message if there is no file selected. If there is a file selected we set the path to textbox2
and use a StreamReader with the path set to our selected file and read the file to our textbox1.

Step 4:
That's it for the reading part, now for the writing part:

1. Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)

Handles Button2.Click
2. If (TextBox2.Text = Nothing) Then
3. MsgBox("Please read a file first!")
4. Else
5. Dim res = MsgBox("Do you want to save to the same
file?", MsgBoxStyle.YesNo, "Overwrite Read File?")
6. If (res = MsgBoxResult.Yes) Then
7. If
(My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(TextBox2.Text)) Then
8. Using sw As New StreamWriter(TextBox2.Text)
9. sw.Write(TextBox1.Text)
10. End Using
11. End If
12. Else
13. Dim fs As New SaveFileDialog
14. fs.RestoreDirectory = True
15. fs.Filter = "txt files (*.txt)|*.txt"
16. fs.FilterIndex = 1
17. fs.ShowDialog()
18. If (fs.FileName = Nothing) Then
19. MsgBox("Error: No path selected")
20. Else
21. Using sw As New StreamWriter(fs.FileName)
22. sw.Write(TextBox1.Text)
23. End Using
24. End If
25. End If
26. End If
27. End Sub
 This is basically the same code, but the opposite - obviously. First we check to see if the path is set in
textbox2 from our read script. If there is no path set it means there is no file open so we display a New
SaveFileDialog for them to select a new file to save their text as. If there is a file open we give them the
option to either overwrite the read file, or, create a new file. Whichever one they choose we create a
StreamWriter with the path address of the selected path (Textbox2 or SaveFileDialog.FileName) and write
textbox1 text to it.

Project Complete!
That's it! Below is the source code to the whole project along with a download in the code section, Thank
you!

1. Imports System.IO
2. Class Form1
3. Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)

10. MsgBox("Error: No path selected")
11. Else
12. TextBox2.Text = fo.FileName
13. Using sr As New streamreader(fo.FileName)
14. TextBox1.Text = sr.readtoend()
15. End Using
16. End If
17. End Sub
18.
19. Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)

 I want to open mis file, copy all the data and write into a text file.

My mis file.

File name 1.mis

M3;3395;44;0;1;;20090404;094144;8193;3;0;;;;

M3;3397;155;0;2;;20090404;105941;8193;3;0;;;;

M3;3396;160;0;1;;20090404;100825;8193;3;0;;;;

M3;3398;168;0;2;;20090404;110106;8193;3;0;;;;

so on...,

The above data should appear in a text file with same file name (1.txt).

I tried this code.

Dim sFileText As String

Dim iFileNo As Integer

iFileNo = FreeFile

Open "C:\Clients\Converter\Clockings.mis" For Input As

#iFileNo

Do While Not EOF(iFileNo)

Input #iFileNo, sFileText

Loop

Close #iFileNo

Open "C:\Clients\Converter\2.txt" For Output As #iFileNo

Do While Not EOF(iFileNo)

Write #iFileNo, sFileText

Loop

Close #iFileNo

Nothing is saved in 1.txt.

up vote It far easier to use the scripting runtime which is installed by default on Windows
7 down
vote
accepted Just go project Reference and check Microsoft Scripting Runtime and click OK.

Then you can use this code which is way better than the default file commands

Dim FSO As FileSystemObject

Dim TS As TextStream

Dim TempS As String

Dim Final As String

Set FSO = New FileSystemObject

Set TS = FSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Clients\Converter\Clockings.mis",
ForReading)

'Use this for reading everything in one shot

Final = TS.ReadAll

'OR use this if you need to process each line

Do Until TS.AtEndOfStream

TempS = TS.ReadLine
 Final = Final & TempS & vbCrLf

Loop

TS.Close

Set TS = FSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Clients\Converter\2.txt", ForWriting,

True)

TS.Write Final

TS.Close

Set TS = Nothing

Set FSO = Nothing

As for what is wrong with your original code here you are reading each line of the text
file.

Input #iFileNo, sFileText

Then here you write it out

Write #iFileNo, sFileText

sFileText is a string variable so what it is happening that each time you read you just
replace the content of sFileText with the content of the line you just read.

So when you go to write it out all you are writing is the last line you read which is
probably a blank line.

Dim sFileText As String

Dim sFinal as String

Dim iFileNo As Integer

iFileNo = FreeFile

Open "C:\Clients\Converter\Clockings.mis" For Input As #iFileNo

Do While Not EOF(iFileNo)

Input #iFileNo, sFileText

sFinal = sFinal & sFileText & vbCRLF

Loop

Close #iFileNo
iFileNo = FreeFile 'Don't assume the last file number is free to use

Open "C:\Clients\Converter\2.txt" For Output As #iFileNo

Write #iFileNo, sFinal

Close #iFileNo

Note you don't need to do a loop to write. sFinal contains the complete text of the File
ready to be written at one shot. Note that input reads a LINE at a time so each line
appended to sFinal needs to have a CR and LF appended at the end to be written out
correctly on a MS Windows system. Other operating system may just need a LF
(Chr$(10)).

If you need to process the incoming data then you need to do something like this.

Dim sFileText As String

Dim sFinal as String

Dim vTemp as Variant

Dim iFileNo As Integer

Dim C as Collection

Dim R as Collection

Dim I as Long

Set C = New Collection

Set R = New Collection

iFileNo = FreeFile

Open "C:\Clients\Converter\Clockings.mis" For Input As #iFileNo

Do While Not EOF(iFileNo)

Input #iFileNo, sFileText

C.Add sFileText

Loop

Close #iFileNo

For Each vTemp in C

Process vTemp

Next sTemp
 iFileNo = FreeFile

Open "C:\Clients\Converter\2.txt" For Output As #iFileNo

For Each vTemp in R

Write #iFileNo, vTemp & vbCRLF

Next sTemp

Close #iFileNo

Some user computers don't have FileSystemObject (I have experienced this). I think
overzealous IT departments sometimes trample on the scripting runtime for fear of viruses
MarkJ Sep 24 '09 at 9:35
Yes which is why you should include as part of your install. The sysop can then decide
whether to make an exception for the application. Or make your own version wrapping the
native function or wrap the .NET equivalent up. Both of which are overkill IMO. RS

 Set ExcelApp = CreateObject("excel.application")
ExcelApp.Workbooks.Open (CommonDialog1.filename)
Set WS = ExcelApp.ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("VendorSheet") ''Sheet
For i = 1 to 10

Msgbox WS.Range(stra).value
Next i

Above code will read 10 lines and column a of Excel sheet.

Aa1,a2,a3......a10.

for other colums just create the range like "b1", "m10" etc.
Hope u got the point.

Hi Anant,

I have to read the data from a table in MSWORD. Then I have to execute a macro which takes
these inputs and generates a text file from it.
I am a newbie to VB usage .Can you tell me in steps as to how do
i make the VB script read the data from the MSWord Table.

An early response would be highly appreciated.

Hi.. Try this...

Create a text file..

open "Text.txt" for append as #1
print #1, "This is a text file"
close #1

open "c:\Text.txt" for input #1

Do Until EOF(1)
Line Input #1, temp
Loop

To insert into database

 POSTRAN.Execute "Insert from table (textfile) VALUES (" _
& " temp & "'," _
& ")"

If you want to concatenate the text file then u will use split.

Hi,

Use this Code:

Dim FN As Long
Dim sSQL As String

FN = FreeFile
sSQL = "C:\MyText.txt"
Open sSQL For Output As FN
Print #FN, "THIS TEXT FILE CREATED FROM VB"
Print #FN, "CHECK FILE "
Close FN

Instead of "Output" u can use "Append" to insert text in the Same File.
If Output is used, then every time new file is created.

You can read it in line by line and do an instr:

InStr(1, "Computer Science", "put", vbTextCompare)

will return "4" because the fourth character is the start of "put".
Usually, if I'm checking this, I will use something like

if InStr(1, "Computer Science", "put", vbTextCompare) > 1 then

....

end if

The first value is where you want to start (almost always 1) , the second
is the string you want to search, third is the string you want to look
for, and fourth is the search method.
