Listview help & split froma string method help

ident · May 7th, 2009, 08:20 AM

Hello, I have tryed on a few other forums but just keep getting sent in circles so hopefully i will get it sorted here.

Right. problem one. I have a listview (lvpost) that has two colums, username & ID

Every time a user is added it saves this to a textfile which will look like this

Code:

user1:id
user2:id
user3:id

and so on. The problem is is now reloading this information into lvpost when the form is loaded. all i know is.

Code:

            'Load user agent
            Dim sTemp As String
            sTemp = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("C:\Uis\Agent.txt")

Which puts all the data into a string.

Problem 2

Now i have no idea what so ever how to split each line, user1 (split the : that seprates the two values) ID then add user to username in the list view and then add ID to the subindex of the listview.

then obviously loop threw all the entrys in the text file.

I have tryed looking for 3 days but cant solve this.

This is my last resort here :(

String.split is one of the things you are looking for. Also you want to read about string.substring().

That's all what you need, but you can always open the file as a StreamReader, and read one line at a time, forget about the split and only use substring to get the data before and after the :...
