VB 6.0 How do I read from a .txt file?
-
I am writing an application right now in VB 6.0. I was just wondering if someone could help with this. Upon the FormLoad() function, I need the program to call a notepad file (main.ini) and read the third line and replace a variable inside of my program. Can somebody please please help me???? Thanks again, Bob

Here is a good article that shows you how to do it. You can use this code to do either an ini file or the registry: http://www.thescarms.com/vbasic/registry.asp[^]

ray's ini file reader is the preferred method for working with application config stuff, but if you want to work with text files, use the FileSystemObject where: scrrun.dll, register dialog: Microsoft Scripting Runtime progid: scripting.filesystemobject i'm typing this code in manually, so it might not be syntactful
dim fso as scripting.filesystemobject set fso = new scripting.filesystemobject dim txt as scripting.textstream set txt = fso.opentextfile("c:\mytextfile.txt") do while not txt.atendofstream msgbox txt.readline loop txt.close set txt = nothing set fso = nothing-John
