All these questions….actually just one to start…
I can save/open/create .bin files…but thats all i can do (conserning files). How do i open/save/create regular files…not .bin or anything…I've been experimenting and cant find anything that works…Plz help! (and tell me if you have no idea what im talking about…):spot:

Open "C:\FileName.EXTENSION" for Output as #1
Print #1, "Hi"
Close #1

Is that what you mean?

Open "C:\FileName.EXTENSION" for Append as #1
Print #1, "Hi"
Close #1

Append it over writes the file.

Dim Data As String
Open "C:\FileName.EXTENSION" For Input As #1
Do Until EOF(1)
Input #1, Data 'Gets 1 line of text/data from the file (Use: txtMain.Text = txtMain.Text & Data)
EOF(1)
Loop
Close #1

Thank you soooo much all of you guys!!!:D
Hey kevin wolf…one more question… when you said

'Gets 1 line of text/data from the file (Use: txtMain.Text = txtMain.Text & Data)

…does that mean i can store multiple variables in one txt file and read it line by line(like an End of Line insteaad of End of file?)? Or do i need to use another format…like the delimeated txt file or something like that? thanks!!

you can read it one by one using Input.

It gets each line because windows doesnt saves Enters :P
So what my post should say is "Use: txtMain.Text = txtMain.Text & Data & vbNewLine" :P

EDIT: Woot, 100 posts.

Okay, so no one is probably looking at this thread anymore but,
Thanks Kevin Wolf for all the great help!! I have one more question…there is always another question…
I still dont understand that reading it line by line part. What i want to do is make each line of the txt file (they are all integers) so it would be like:

67
34
23

how do i make it so i can make each line a different variable…like: x = 67, y = 34, and z = 23?

Thanks for all your help guys! (im starting to feel like im asking too many questions…)

p.s.–dont worry…vb isnt the only thing i do in my life….im trying to learning scar too..;)

Append it over writes the file.

doesn't append add on to and output overwrites?

Yes it does. I found that out. But i still do not understand how to get different varriables from one txt file by reading it line by line. Is there a way to specify which line i want to read? thanks.

Is there a way to detect if a certain web page is open with visual basic 6.0? So lets say i want to constantly check if http://www.runescape.com/ is open. I'm guessing i would use a timer set as "1" and then the code. Does anyone know what that code might be? I've looked on google but i have no idea what to try. (i usually type in code snippets that i know to get something)

also, i am still wondering how to read specific lines of a vb saved txt file. Thanks.


(sorry bout the double post/bump… i dont know how long of a wait a thread gets before its considered bumping it, i kinda got in trouble with that before… and the double post is only because i thought that this was a different question than my previous unanswered one..wink wink…) :)

AH-HEM! My previous question? I'm just thinking… if you don't want to answer just tell me! don't leave me hanging! (really guys..this is the internet, i click one button and my post is up there. No line to stand in…)
