Assign an array to an open file dialog -- please help!

How do you assign an array that will reference a streamreader, named ofdMain. I then need to be able to reference the first, second, and third lines in the array to be able to format them a certain way. Note that there is only one field with in each line and isn't seperated by a Delimiter.


Sorry I can't be more specific but I'm new to VB.Net and any help would be welcome.

Thanks,

Oh , I see your question is about StreamReader .I thought you are talking about BinaryReader .Anyways , I've not worked on that but I may give it a try !

Ill try

upon opening this file:

From: Michael V. Ekedahl
To: Course Technology
Subject: Book
Data
Line one of message body.
Line two of message body.

I need to be able to format the first two lines and would like to do that before the text appears in the rich text box.

What do you mean by formating them ?? Can you just type example for this ?

Sure and I apprecite the help. The document, once formatted, will be displayed in the Rich Text Box as shown below.

try this now :
It reads line by line and then add to richtextbox also line by line
I hope this what you are looking for :

VB Code:

Dim streamRd As StreamReader = File.OpenText("c:\test.txt")
        Dim arry() As String
 
        arry(0) = streamRd.ReadLine()
        arry(1) = streamRd.ReadLine()
        arry(2) = streamRd.ReadLine()
        RichText.Lines = arry
        streamRd.Close()

No, :(, i got this error

Weird ??
Make sure of the path file ???
It worked for me

sorry ,

VB Code:

'try to change this line :
Dim arry() As String
 
'with this one here :
Dim arry(2) As String ' array length

now it should work for you !

The file location is correct....

Here is the code:


Imports System.IO


Public Class frmMain
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim streamRd As StreamReader = File.OpenText("c:\test.txt")
Dim arry() As String

arry(0) = streamRd.ReadLine()
arry(1) = streamRd.ReadLine()
arry(2) = streamRd.ReadLine()
rtbMain.Lines = arry
streamRd.Close()

End Sub
End Class


is my code.

Did you try the above code ??

Thanks, that worked thoght I did something similar to that. I was hopeing to be able to open up a letter such as the one you saw, but perhaps with more or less lines so I declared it using a array with no initial value......to bad that wont work :(

Ummm , what's that won't work ???

Dim arry() As String

as apposed to

Dim arry(2) As String

or is that where redim preserve comes in?

Well ,
Dim arry(2) As String ' here it declares number of elements the array can hold .
