[RESOLVED] saving, reading to a txt file

[meopilite]

I've figured out how to save lines to a txt file,

Dim data As String() = {TextBox1.Text, TextBox2.Text}
        IO.File.WriteAllLines("C:\Users\Me\Downloads\test2.txt", data)

Now, to Open the file and display the text1 info in TextBox1 and text2 info in TextBox2??

Cant seem to get it to work

This loads both of them at once since you have saved them both into the same file. Would need to know what the content of the textboxes was in order to separate the two into different textboxes when loading.

TextBox1.text = IO.File.ReadAllText("C:\Users\Me\Downloads\test2.txt")

Try this:

dim lines() as string = IO.File.ReadAllLines("C:\Users\Me\Downloads\test2.txt")
TextBox1.Text = lines.firstordefault
TextBox2.Text = lines.lastordefault

.paul.'s code works as long as you are not using multi line textboxes.

if you are using multiline textboxes, you need to delimit the text:

IO.File.WriteAllText("C:\Users\Me\Downloads\test2.txt", TextBox1.Text & "|" & TextBox2.Text)

then:

dim lines() as string = IO.File.ReadAllText("C:\Users\Me\Downloads\test2.txt").Split("|"c)
TextBox1.Text = lines.firstordefault
TextBox2.Text = lines.lastordefault
