I was at first wonding if it was possible to display the first line of text only in my text file to a label but thought it may be easier to display the name of the file itself eg. 123.txt without the file extention so it just reads 123

is there an easy way to do this?
:p...

Solution 1

You may use the GetFilenameWithoutExtension of the Path class[^] , for instance

VB

Imports System.IO
  Module Module1
  Sub Main()
    Dim mypath As String = "c:\temp\123.txt"
    Dim myfilename = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(mypath)
    Console.WriteLine(myfilename)
  End Sub

Instead of displaying in console how can you display it in a label?

Just set the label's Text property: myLabel.Text = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(mypath);

When I launch the program and call the module1.main the line "label29.text = path.getfilenamewithoutextension(mypath) gives an exception error "Object variable or With block variable not set." how do i fix this?
