Hi there,
I want to count the amount of lines in a txt file,then create an array(based on the amount of lines) then read the numbers from that txt file into created array.(amount of numbers in txt might change every time)
I do not work with vb on daily basis, and can not get it to work.
thanks

Check ur email! I sent you a similar C++ program.

johnbeer,
Are you required to use VB, or can you use a language that's better suited for this. Depending on the exact format of the txt file and what you need to do with the array, this is only 1 to 5 lines of Perl code.

examples:
This will readin entire the file into an array.

@lines = <>;

This will print out the number of elements in the array.

print $#array;

This will readin the file line by line, and build an array of numbers that it finds.

while (<>) {(push @array, $1) while ($_ =~ /(\d+)/g);}

lindsey,
Since this is an open forum, it's recommended and better forum etiquette to post your solutions rather than emailing.

I have to use VB!! But perl code looks much shorter for the same kind of job.

Thanks for the advise,
