Your screen shot looks like you might be using VB.Net. If so, you posted in the wrong forum section.

Other than that, you can search the forums, this question has been asked many many times and there are a lot of examples on how to do it. What you will need to do is load the entire file to one list, then parse the data according to type (If contains "[" then go to list 1, etc...).

EDIT: One more comment, with this, instead of using two listboxes and two text boxes, I would rather choose one Listview with 4 columns (Day, Subjcet, Start Time, End Time) that way all data will be visible at once, you dont have to handle click events for lists to load appropriate data etc.

He may be using VB.Net, but this problem can be easily handled in VB6.

It can be solved with almost any programming language but it still is in the wrong section. People giving him code examples will assume he's using VB6 and give him code that might not work in .Net.

hey guys im using vb6.. not vb.net.. because im using windows 7 it look like im using .net please help me in this

I figured as much. Not sure why you were cross-examined in Post #2. VB6 still exists. I use it all the time.

[baja_yu]

He was cross examined because there are some complications with installing VB6 on Vista, and by the look of the theme and his being a novice I asumed he was on .Net. I'm not sure why you are making such a big deal out of it. And, I still use VB6 too.

Anyway, manmad, look at my suggestion in post #2 and let us know if you have any troubles with it.

I'm making a big deal out of it? Good grief.

A good place to start : http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=348141#file
And try using other's suggestion too. If you got stuck at any part, post the code and the details of the error or line that shows the problem.

Good luck

Well obviously, because after 3 posts you have yet to post anything useful or relevant to the thread topic, rather than second guessing and commenting on my posts. So... But, now I'm going off topic too so I'm done with the discussion. My suggestions are there, others can take it from here.

Heres my coding..

Option Explicit

Private Declare Function GetPrivateProfileSection _
    Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetPrivateProfileSectionA" _
    (ByVal lpAppName As String, ByVal lpReturnedString As String, _
    ByVal nSize As Long, ByVal lpFileName As String) As Long

Private Declare Function GetPrivateProfileSectionNames _
    Lib "kernel32.dll" Alias "GetPrivateProfileSectionNamesA" _
    (ByVal lpszReturnBuffer As String, ByVal nSize As Long, _
    ByVal lpFileName As String) As Long

Dim strIniFile As String

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim arSections() As String
Dim i As Integer

    strIniFile = "c:\test.txt" 
    
    arSections() = GetSections(strIniFile)
    For i = 0 To UBound(arSections)
        List1.AddItem arSections(i)
    Next i
    If List1.ListCount > 0 Then List1.ListIndex = 0

End Sub

Private Sub List1_Click()
Dim arValues() As String
Dim i As Integer

    List2.Clear
    arValues() = GetValues(strIniFile, List1.List(List1.ListIndex))
    For i = 0 To UBound(arValues)
        List2.AddItem arValues(i)
    Next i

End Sub

Public Function GetSections(inifile As String) As String()
Dim strBuffer As String
Dim arSections() As String
Dim lngLength As Long

    strBuffer = String$(1024, 0)
    lngLength = GetPrivateProfileSectionNames(strBuffer, 1024, inifile)
    strBuffer = Left$(strBuffer, lngLength)
    arSections = Split(strBuffer, vbNullChar)
    GetSections = arSections()

End Function

Public Function GetValues(inifile As String, sectionname As String) As String()
Dim strBuffer As String
Dim bufLength As Long
Dim arValues() As String
Dim lngLength As Long

    bufLength = 10240
    strBuffer = String$(bufLength, 0)
    lngLength = GetPrivateProfileSection(sectionname, strBuffer, bufLength, inifile)
    strBuffer = Left$(strBuffer, lngLength)
    arValues = Split(strBuffer, vbNullChar)
    
    GetValues = arValues()

End Function

in this coding i can load the week days to 1 listbox and the subjects to the 2nd listbox.. bt i dnt knw how can i load the starting time and end time to the textboxes can u put somehelp on it.....

[baja_yu]

Is the file format a given or can you modify it? If you can, I'd suggest doing something like this

[Monday]
SubjectCount=2
Name1=Maths
Start1=10:00
End1=11:00
Name2=English
Start2=11:00
End2=12:00

That way you can use all INI manipulation functions to load data. First grab the count, then do a For Loop (1 To Count) and grab each value "Name" & I, "Start" & I, "End" & I (I from the For Loop counter).
