Yes

Private p As Process = Nothing

Dim I As Integer = 0

While I <> 1 'I.e a condition that will never happen
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000) ' wait 1000ms

Try looking at the process id.

Works for me, although I've not tested it exclusively. If you change it to <img([^>]+)>. Make any diff?

in that case _r0ckbaer's solution will fail.

>if every line starts with the date

Not entirely sure if that would work all the time, especially seeing as some dates can be written as DD-MM-YYYY or YYYY-MM-DD etc. A cast iron solution would...

Yes I think so, you should be able to add the windows media functions as a com object if I remember correctly.

Not 100% fool proof. Like I said you have to code your own me thinks.

I don't think there is a built in function which will 100% validate all entries.

Well the way I'd do it is to loop through the string, which is what you textBox will be.

And check if each character is "0123456789".

I guess you could use the substring function to isolate...

You could set all the other event handlers to be disabled... set the focus back on the text box.



You know what an if statement is?

Oh right. Erm I never do such things. I just read in a normal text file and that parse that data into my class or structure.

Since I don't do it I won't be offering any advice. Good luck though.

are you trying to write objects to a file?
