[RESOLVED] Illegal characters in path.

I dont know where is the problem...

How can i fix this error "Illegal characters in path." ?

The code i use is...

Code:

---


        Dim reader As New StreamReader(My.Settings.masuratori_preluare_date)

        Do While reader.Peek <> -1

            Dim fileName As String

            fileName = IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(reader.ReadLine)

            Me.ListBox1.Items.Add(fileName)

        Loop

        reader.Close()

---

1. Check if [My.Settings.masuratori_preluare_date] returns a valid file path.
2. Open that file and look thru each line to see it's a valid file path.

File path is: C:\tempest02.TXT

an the file contents is:

*** TELEGAN ***

----------------

The lines in that file are not filenames/paths to files, so why are you calling IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension() on them? Thats whats causing the error.

OK... so the lines in your file are not file paths at all... You have to read them as is and add to your listbox

Code:

---

Dim reader As New StreamReader(My.Settings.masuratori_preluare_date)

        Do While reader.Peek <> -1

              Me.ListBox1.Items.Add(reader.ReadLine)

        Loop

        reader.Close()

---

Or even shorter this way

Code:

---

Dim lines() As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines(My.Settings.masuratori_preluare_date)
Me.ListBox1.Items.AddRange(lines)

Thanks alot!
It work's great!
