THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
For someone who programs without any formal training, it seems like sometimes the easiest question can be the most difficult ones to find easy answers to!
This was also a critical code needed for my application - and I Thank You!
Good man, keep up the videos! I will like & subscribe!

Haha! Those are some big words coming from a VB master! :)

Thanks a lot! :)

[VojtyTouty]

Thank you very much sir. Works in c# as well

[ddoodm]

Haha! Yea! True! :P

I haven't used VB in ages, so I can't say I know any efficient way to do it. But I guess you could just repeat the readLine process 25 times and store the results in dummy variables. I know it's a dumb way to do it, but I can't remember the other ways. :)

Good luck with your app!

[ddoodm]

Take a look around google for VB registry or assign filetypes to VB app or somethings like that. :)

[ddoodm]

lol! Dude!!! So many comments! :D I was playing Sim City, so I didn't get the E-Mails.

I can't really send you the bode, buth because now I have to do some homework, and also because I'm more of a C programmer than VB. I forget pretty much everything about VB. :)

Sorry I can't really help right now. Ask on a forum (MSDN for example) and see what they say. :)

Nice video. Helped me alot! But is there any way I can read from a textbox with multiple lines?
Like "Line1 = textbox1.text line2 = textbox2.text" and so on...
Thanks!

Say I wanted to do the same thing but on a remote system, how can I code it so it reads another machine's file that's on the network?

hey can you make a tutorial for how to read a specific line in a text file please

[ddoodm]

Um... I sorta don't really get what you mean, but I guess you could store the textfile as a variable first, write to it and then save it again. :)

Good luck!

@MegaTechHD Helpful tip - When insulting other's, or referring your own content; use porpper grammar.

@Kidde15 You can also use Application.StartupPath ;)

[ddoodm]

Uh. I don't really get the question and I'm in a bit of a rush, so please pardon me if this is wrong. :)

I guess you could set up a combo box and create an if statement that checks the selected option (string) and then runs my code for whatever file you want. :)

Sorry for the bad answer. I'm just about to have dinner. :) Good luck!

do you have to make a separate variable for each line of text you want to read and the "variable" = reader.readline every time? as i have lots of text i need to read and i can't do that every time. as i have a login style program with usernames and passwords stored on different files
