[RESOLVED][2008]FileWriteline how read write listbox to file?

this is interesting again, i have been trying this for the past 6 hours without zero progress..

So my question does vb have this at all, becaus eI searched & I cant find nothing that i can make to work at all?

Code:

---

filewriteline(filename,"text",linenr)
 filereadline (filename,"text",linenr)

---

basically i have a listbox & i want to save all listbox items into txt file so i can load them back again lather. well this is what i have & its not really working:

this is how I load items from txt file to listbox But sometimes its working(putting item on next listbox line) & sometimes not its like magic really..:

Code:

---

            Dim file_name As String = load_listbox
            Dim stream_reader As New IO.StreamReader(file_name)

            ListBox1_include.Items.AddRange(Split(stream_reader.ReadToEnd, _
                vbCrLf))
            ListBox1_include.SelectedIndex = 0
            stream_reader.Close()

---

& this is how I write the listbox items to file:

Code:

---

    '    For nr = 1 To ListBox1_include.Items.Count - 1
    '        'write all items into txt file
    '        My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(links_include, ListBox1_include.Items.Item(nr) & Chr(13), True)
    '    Next

---

Code:

---

  Public Sub ReadFile(ByVal fileName As String, ByVal listBox As ListBox)
    If IO.File.Exists(fileName) Then
      listBox.Items.Clear()
      Dim stream As New IO.FileStream(fileName, IO.FileMode.Open, IO.FileAccess.Read)
      Dim reader As New IO.StreamReader(stream)
      listBox.Items.AddRange(Split(reader.ReadToEnd, vbNewLine))
      reader.Close()
      stream.Close()
    End If
  End Sub

  Public Sub WriteFile(ByVal fileName As String, ByVal listBox As ListBox)
    Dim stream As New IO.FileStream(fileName, IO.FileMode.CreateNew, IO.FileAccess.Write)
    Dim writer As New IO.StreamWriter(stream)
    For Each line As String In listBox.Items
      writer.WriteLine(line)
    Next
    writer.Close()
    stream.Close()
  End Sub

thanx its finally working, After some more hours thinking I cme to conclusion, that my problem was that in the 4 listboxes I have, there is 1 first entry by default & it must stay there & also the empty lines were hard to handle, well hire is the final working code if someone needs it:

I this example we have 2 listboxes:
ListBox1_include
ListBox2_ignore_text

Code:

---

    '=======================================
    ' Declaring Listbx load/write at startup
    '=======================================
    Dim links_include As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop & "\links_include.txt"
    Dim ignore_text As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop & "\ignore_text.txt"
    Dim load_listbox
    Dim write_listbox
    Dim write_listbox_file
    Dim read_listbox_file

---

Code:

---

        '----------------------------
        ' Write listbox data to files
        ' First we assign values for each listbox
        ' so listbox & file to write to = proper
        '----------------------------
        Dim a As Integer
        For a = 1 To 2
            If a = 1 Then
                write_listbox = ListBox1_include
                write_listbox_file = links_include
            End If
            If a = 2 Then
                write_listbox = ListBox2_ignore_text
                write_listbox_file = ignore_text
            End If
            _write_listbox_tofile()
        Next

---

Code:

---

    '=============================================
    ' we call this same function for each listbox to
    ' write all listboxes contents to files
    '=============================================
    Sub _write_listbox_tofile()
        If IO.File.Exists(write_listbox_file) Then IO.File.Delete(write_listbox_file)
        Dim stream As New IO.FileStream(write_listbox_file, IO.FileMode.CreateNew, IO.FileAccess.Write)
        Dim writer As New IO.StreamWriter(stream)
        For Each line As String In write_listbox.Items
            writer.WriteLine(line)
        Next
        writer.Close()
        stream.Close()       
    End Sub

---

Code:

---

        '----------------------------
        ' Fill in Listboxes With data
        ' First we assign values for each listbox
        ' so listbox & file to read from = proper
        '----------------------------
        For a = 1 To 4
            If a = 1 Then
                load_listbox = ListBox1_include
                read_listbox_file = links_include
            End If
            If a = 2 Then
                load_listbox = ListBox2_ignore_text
                read_listbox_file = ignore_text
            End If
            _load_listbox()
        Next
    End Sub

---

Code:

---

    '======================================
    ' Fill in Listboxes With data @ startup
    ' Again we call this same function for
    ' Each listbox to avoid writing too much code
    '======================================
    Sub _load_listbox()
        If IO.File.Exists(read_listbox_file) Then
            'ListBox1_include.Items.Clear()
            Dim stream As New IO.FileStream(read_listbox_file, IO.FileMode.Open, IO.FileAccess.Read)
            Dim reader As New IO.StreamReader(stream)
            load_listbox.Items.AddRange(Split(reader.ReadToEnd, vbNewLine))

            ' Remove last item from the listbox because its empty line
            load_listbox.Items.RemoveAt(load_listbox.Items.Count - 1)

            ' Remove first listbox item cuz I want to
            load_listbox.Items.RemoveAt(0)

            reader.Close()
            stream.Close()
        End If
    End Sub
