I made an app to convert certain numbers to other format
i.e
- 1 = A
- 2 = B
- 3 = C
- 4 = D
- 5 = E
- ETC
I have made that function with no problem and I have been using it for quite sometime, but now I would like to do things faster and in a batch.
So it's really difficult for me to copy from a text file to my Textbox1 then press button1 then copy textbox2 to other text file.
So I was thinking in loading the text file into a List Box then do a loop for each item in that list into a second list that I can export to another text file.
The importing and exporting I have it covered but where I'm stuck at is to make the loop.
Here's what I have please if you know a better way to do it let me know or tell me how to fix it this way.
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Using FD As New OpenFileDialog()
FD.Filter = "txt files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*"
If FD.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
ListBox1.Items.Clear()
ListBox1.Items.AddRange(IO.File.ReadAllLines(FD.FileName))
End If
End Using
End Sub
Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Do
Dim Item As String = ""
For Each i As String In ListBox1.Items
Item &= i
TextBox1.Text = Item
TextBox2.Text = MYFUNCTION(TextBox1.Text)
ListBox2.Items.Add(TextBox2.Text)
TextBox1.Text = ""
TextBox2.Text = ""
Next
Loop Until TextBox1.Text = "END"
End Sub
Private Sub Button3_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
'TextBox2.Text = MeidHexToDec(TextBox1.Text)
Using FD As New SaveFileDialog()
FD.Filter = "txt files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*"
If FD.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
Dim FileContent As String = ""
For Each i As String In ListBox2.Items
FileContent &= i & vbCrLf
Next
IO.File.WriteAllText(FD.FileName, FileContent)
End If
End Using
End Sub
So my final aim is to do something like this:
TextFile1.txt
- 1
- 2
- 5
- 5
- 1
- 3
- 2
- END
then after the conversion output
TextFile2.txt
- A
- B
- E
- E
- A
- C
- B
The text file size will vary sometimes it will have only 10 items sometimes will be 50... Thanks.
