Replace the string data from a file [closed]

so you have pretty much read the title,

I want to make it so that any value in ResolutionSizeX= is going to become 1920 every single number.

Heres my code:

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click



    My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText("C:UsersNarpZAppDataLocalFortniteGameSavedConfigWindowsClientGameUserSettings.ini",

    My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("C:UsersNarpZAppDataLocalFortniteGameSavedConfigWindowsClientGameUserSettings.ini").Replace("ResolutionSizeX=", "ResolutionSizeX=1920"),

    False)



End Sub

I wanted every single number that is possible in it to become 1920, if it is like 1628 or 980 or 16 or 12034 you understand?

Untested but it should do the trick.

    Dim strFile As String = "C:UsersNarpZAppDataLocalFortniteGameSavedConfigWindowsClientGameUserSettings.ini"



  If System.IO.File.Exists(strFile) Then



    Dim arrLines() As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines(strFile)



    For i As Integer = 0 To arrLines.Length - 1

        If Strings.Left(arrLines(i),16)="ResolutionSizeX=" Then

            arrLines(i) = "ResolutionSizeX=1920" 

        End If

    Next



    System.IO.File.WriteAllLines(strFile, arrLines) 'SAVE



  End If

It does the trick, but if I have something named LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeX it changes that too to ResolutionSizeX.

– Narpzy

@Narpzy adapted the code so it checks if the 16 first chars of the line are ResolutionSizeX=, and not simply contain the string

I just tried to do the same with LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeX, and it didn't work, heres the code: If System.IO.File.Exists(strFile) Then Dim arrLines() As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines(strFile) For i As Integer = 0 To arrLines.Length - 1 If Strings.Left(arrLines(i), 16) = "ResolutionSizeX=" Then arrLines(i) = "ResolutionSizeX=1920" ElseIf Strings.Left(arrLines(i), 16) = "LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeX=" Then arrLines(i) = "LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeX=1920" End If Next System.IO.File.WriteAllLines(strFile, arrLines) 'SAVE End If

Remove the File.Exists() check. It's almost always counter-productive, and usually makes things slower; you're normally better off just handling the exception.

– Joel Coehoorn
Jan 2 at 14:35

If you want to make it work with other variables, you have to adapt the 16 in the Left instruction. 16 is the number of chars in your string, including the = at the end
