Two class modules that load any size flat file with delimiters (tab, comma, space, etc.) into memory. Once loaded, you can reference any cell that has been loaded... sort of like Excel.

Just a simple program which uses the FileSystemObject and Recursion to output a complete directory/file structure of your computer to a file. I was originally gonna use this as a sort of snooping thing a while ago, you could run it on someones computer, and then read the text file to see what they had on their computers. The text files come out quite large, but when zipped up they're usually only about 50k. Uses a good example of recursion.

Networked drives. They're an administrative nightmare. In fact, the average user changes his networked drive letters more often than his underwear. But you can solve this problem of binding an application to a particular drive by using a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path. This still references a network area, but doesn’t tie it to any one drive letter. And you can retrieve and check the UNC of a particular path in code using this neat little function. To use it, simply call GetUNCPath, passing it your drive letter along with a pre-declared empty string. If a problem occurs, the relevant number is passed back with the function. These can be matched with the possible return code constants. However if everything goes swimmingly, the function returns a zero (a constant value of NO_ERROR) and places the UNC path into the ByRef-passed variable. This code works by making a call to the WNetGetConnection function in MPR.DLL. It's essentially a neat wrapper for a regular API call.

Opens any file in binary mode and replaces all instances of a specified string with another specified string.

Simply and efficiently rename all the files of a directory. Select a directory, Choose what type of files to rename (All, Graphic, text), Enter a starting number, Select a number of 'padding' (zero's) and thats it!. Good example of simple error handling, Loop Structures, etc. Nothing too exciting, but it works on Windows 98 - XP. Mail me if you need more functionality.

This shows you how to load and save list boxes. It also shows you how to add and remove entrys. Its fully commented. Very good help for a beginner. If you like this code then please vote for me!

An example of how to rename files using code (Very simple)

Why mess around with the printer object if you don't have to? In my example, I print the contents of a richtextbox control to the printer with only a couple of lines of code. PERFECTLY formatted. Readily applies to just about any control or string, though.

This shows how to get the files attributes or set the attribute for the file

This VERY Simple 5 Line Code Writes To a INI File! Enjoy!

Yet another word processor. Shows the basics of centering text, left/right justify, choose font, font color, cut, copy, paste, undo, select all... Keeps track of if your current file has been saved or not, basic word processor. I got bored.

.INI read/write routines mfncGetFromIni-- Reads from an *.INI file strFileName (full path & file name) mfncWriteIni--Writes to an *.INI file called strFileName (full path & file name) [email protected]

Complete access to INI files through a simple class module, which works with VB4 16,32 and VB5. This class module allows you to read/write INI values, delete values, delete sections and query whole sections through a simple inteface.

Allows you to reset the Created/Last Modified/Last Accessed date/time stamp on a single file, multiple files or all files in a specified directory. Works on all file types with all file attributes (normal, read-only, archive, system, hidden). Useful for setting uniform date/time stamps for a project deployment.

This one saves/reads some small headers in biary format to a file, e.g. to save some extra-data to an executable (such as almost any server-builder works!)

Adds a touch of professionalism to your project. Just like VB IDE. One tab has the common dialog, the other tab shows recent files, their path and their icon in a listview. Can obviously be adapted to show images, provide different settings and options to the user as to how they wish to open a file. Included : Standard EXE project, UserControl Project and test project, OCX Project and a test project for the OCX. Demonstrates saving/loading listview to registry, getting file icons for use in a listview, how to build your own commondialog controls, controlling other apps windows.

This searches a givin directory for .jpg .bmp .gif and can be edited to search for other picture formats as well. It then lists all pictures found in a listbox. Click the checkbox to preview each picture 1 at a time in Microsoft Internet Control(Web Control). Please Vote! underground technologies [email protected]

It will create a tree of directories even though your PC doesn't have the parant directory. For example if you want to create a directory "Test3" under C:\TEST1\TEST2. This function will create TEST3 and it will also create TEST1 and TEST2 if your system doesn't have TEST1 and TEST2. Please Vote ;)

Rev 8-1-2001. Have you ever had to compare files in two different folders? Mostlikely, you used paper and pencil. This VB snippet shows the contents of 2 folders and flags files with different date or file size. My graphic design is not the best and yes it would be nice to navigate to you folder (now you enter path). For the first step (3+2 hrs work), I think it will do.

This is a fairly simple code that is an alternative to Windows Explorer or My Computer. An example using the DriveListBox, DirListBox and FileListBox, this code was "inspired" by File Browser, uploaded a few days ago. However, I wrote every line of code in it except for the "Error" section, you'll see when you download it. This application distances itself from most, maybe all of the other file browsers on PSC because it enables you to OPEN files from right within the application, by using the Shell ("Start ") API call. This enables you to open all types of files that are associated with an application, not just open specific files. This function does not ALWAYS work, I don't have a clue why not, but if anyone could point out why this is happening, if they could post an UNDERSTANDABLE comment, it would be greatly appreciated. Now, if you think this code is worthy, throw a few positive comments amd votes my way, and bear in mind, I'm 11 and this is in the BEGINNER category. Some of you seem to derive some strange pleaseure from rating beginner code at the intermediate, or even advanced level. I hope this Drive Browser comes in handy or teaches you something!
