VB Forum / General / July 2007Reading Text Files
I am working on a quiz type program that will read the questions from a TXT file. I was wondering what the best way to seperate every question and still have the ability to read it from the txt file and write them to a text box on the program. All help would be appreciated. Also I am using VB 6 and not 2005 >I am working on a quiz type program that will read the questions from > a TXT file.

Also I am using VB 6 and not 2005 Use a CSV file (comma separated variables) and Input to read the data. I.e: *** Data.csv Alpha,Bravo,Charlie *** *** Dim FNum As Integer Dim A As String, B As String, C As String FNum = FreeFile() Open "Data.csv" For Input Access Read As #FNum Input #FNum, A, B, C Debug.Print "A: """ & Alpha & """, B: """ & B & """, C: """ & C & """" Close #FNum *** Hope this helps, Mike - Microsoft Visual Basic MVP - E-Mail: EDais@mvps.org WWW: Http://EDais.mvps.org/ > I am working on a quiz type program that will read the questions from > a TXT file.

Also I am using VB 6 and not 2005 Since the questions presumably are sentences, I'd suggest putting them in a file with Write # and use Input # to read them in. This takes care of the embedded blanks, etc., automagically that Print # and Input # don't handle w/o special consideration. -- >I am working on a quiz type program that will read the questions from > a TXT file.

Also I am using VB 6 and not 2005 While there's a much larger learning curve involved, this sounds like an excellent opportunity to delve into the world of XML. |
