Saving objects into a text file?

Hello, I'm writing a FREEWARE app to export web sites from IIS 4, so that you can transfer sites from one machine to another.

I'm storing the settings in a text file, and for most settings that's ok. However, there are certain variables that are not string, integer etc. Some are objects (type 9) and some are 8204, according to MS Knowledge base these are "A variant that contains an array. -or- An array that contains variant data type".

How can I store these in a text file - or - how can I create a file type that stores them. I'm using vb6. Thanks.

Why don't you try creating an id and special identifier for them? That way you're program can look for them when it loads it.
