I wanted to make a piece of code that selects the line in a text file when it finds the keyword that it's searching for. I have no clue what to actually do, what I searched up didn't help, was outdated, or for another language. I would need this code for vb.net. Thank you.
An example of what I mean.
Let's say we wanna search for: SO11
And there's other lines.
(1) : HJ6
(2) : 46J
(3) : SO11
(4) : NTE
(5) : 4UJ
And the searched line is in line 3. I want it to select line 3 and have it dimmed into a string so I can use it for future things.
Try breaking you question up into smaller chunks. You might be thinking to broadly.
For example:
Read Text File
While reading text file If file contains SO11 then save that line to variable.(Looping through that file.)
Do stuff with that variable.
Give that a try and let us know how it goes.

I want my first line at the top of the console to look like this:
, but mine looks like this, and it's long:
How can I shorten it to like the first picture?
I'm watching Java tutorials on youtube and their first lines ("C:\programs Files\Java\jdk\whatever"...) are always so short and pretty with 3 cute dots in the end, but mine is long and annoying.
You can define the lines which should be folded:
Right click on that line in the console
Choose "Fold Lines Like This"
Click OK
You can also define special keywords/phrases in this menu, where lines, which contains the phrase will be folded with ellipsis (...) at the end.
See the ConsoleViewImpl.java file in the source code of IntelliJ IDEA
This line (execution command) will be automatically hidden in case the string length is more than 1000 symbols.
So, once you add something to the execution command (for example by adding libraries), the execution command is folded automatically.
I'm new to Pentaho and have a little problem with the Text file Input.
Currently I have to have several data records written to a database. In the files, the decimal numbers are separated by a point.
Pentaho is currently transforming the number 123.3659 € to 12.33 €.
Can someone help?
When you read the file, do you read it as a csv, excel or something like that? If that's the case, then you can specify the format of the column to interpret the number correctly (I think, I'm talking from memory now) Or maybe playing with the language of the file might work.
If it's a file containing a string, you can use some step like the string operator to replace the point with a comma.
This problem might come from various reasons.
Although I think that by following the next steps you can solve the issue.
-First, you must get a "Replace in String" step;
-Then search for the dot and replace it with nothing as I show in the following image, or with a coma if the number you show is a float;

Hope this helped!
Give feedback if so!
Have a good day!
I'm new in this great platform and I have a question in Visual Basic.net.
I would like to import data from a txt file (or if you prefer a richtextbox!) using keywords that can be placed in a random position within the txt file. For example a txt like this:
keyword 25
or like this:
keyword 25
In both cases the application should be able to recognise the line because of the presence of the keyword and get the number (25) that will be saved in a variable. Of course this number can vary in different files.
I was thinking to use a code similar to this one:
If line.StartsWith(keyword) Then
.....
End If
but the problem is that the keyword is not always placed as first char (there can be spaces before) and I don't know the line where this keyword is placed int the txt file.
Then I would even ask you how to get the number 25 that can be also placed in random position after the keyword (but for sure on the same line).
I hope everything is clear and thanks if you can help me.
You may consider using .TrimStart() on the lines as you read them, like so:
If line.TrimStart.StartsWith(keyword) Then
.......
End If
I'm trying to make a script that will find and replace some xml structure.
I've made it all flat, no spaces, no return.
So far I've made :
tell application "TextWrangler"
replace text "<key>amenity</key><string>drinking_water</string>" using text "<key>ico</key>
<string>NPpotableGPS30</string>"
end tell
The script editor says :
Error in TextWrangler : text "<key>amenity</key><string>drinking_water</string>" don't have the message « replace ».
This is my first script so I'm probably doing something wrong, but what ?
The key "text" seems to be misplaced. The following appears to correctly work (the sequence from searching onwards being optional for defining the document to process, according to actual working situation):
tell application "TextWrangler"
replace "<key>amenity</key><string>drinking_water</string>" using "<key>ico</key><string>NPpotableGPS30</string>" searching in text 1 of text document "..." options {search mode:grep, starting at top:true}
end tell
I have an input file that I want to use the string SPLIT function on for each line, depending on the Type field. However, the description field sometimes has data that has new lines in it so it messes up my file reader since it uses streamreader's readline() function
Handled:
Type|Name|User|Description
Type|Name|User|Description
Unhandled:
Type|Name|User|Description line 1
Description Line 2
Type|Name|User|Description
Besides not being able to validate on 'Type' for each line and keep reading the file for when the next Type field appears, are there any ways folks can come up with to properly read this file?
My solution was to have the file maker replace newline characters in their description field with another unique character that I can later add back in. I'm still interested in solutions from the file reader's perspective though
I know I'm talking to myself a lot here, but I found another solution, which is to remove remove line feeds, since the output file creator wrote out carriage returns for each line.
You could easily set a conditional statement to see if the Split array contains more than one element, which would indicate that it's a line you want to parse.
