Nice and Easy I reckon

Anyone have a good routine to capture the contents of a list box and dump it to a text file ?

EG: I need to capture the actual displayed data of a listbox, not just selected items, but all items.

Public Sub SaveLBContents(lstBox As ListBox, FileName As String)
    Dim iFile%, i%, iCount%
    iCount = lstBox.ListCount - 1
    iFile = FreeFile
    Open FileName For Output As #iFile
    For i = 0 To iCount
        Print #iFile, lstBox.List(i)
    Next
    Close #iFile
End Sub

Or do you mean a listbox from any application and not only your own?

Getting all the items in a list is easy, you just loop through them,

Private Sub Command1_Click()
For i = 0 To List1.ListCount - 1

    MsgBox List1.List(i)

Next i
End Sub

will put up a message for every item in the list, I'm not too hot on file handling, but there's some good tutorials Here

Thanks Sam, and once again Joacim thanks. Both replies were very useful, one of my co-workers has absconded with all my vb manuals as well as my MSDN discs so I couldn't find the syntax.
