Ok well, I have been reading tutorials on how to parse text files. Im a bit confused and was wondering if someone could help me.
Code: Select all
bank : _nameless.114B.FCB0 {
money_account: 50000
loans: 0
}
Thats the format of the whole file...except alot more data.
How would i get my program to open the file, Read the words between } and { and put it into a list box or a tree view of some sort (like hmt) I am using VB. Any help whatsoever would be awesome!

How about you post the code in C# and he can convert it himself. I know C# is better now that I use it myself, but there are no huge differences...only thing I miss the the Optional property for the parameters
Basically what you could do is loop through until you find { then go to the next line and so on until }.
There are multiple ways of doing this. Especially in VB you have text functions that could help you like EOF and so on.
With a StreamReader you just increase the offset until you find { then you skip the first space, add the next chars to an array until next space then you know you are getting the next word etc.
Do it yourself.
