Reading A File Into Listbox

[davethebrat]

How do I read a file into a listbox? I am making a playlist creater in my application. But im not sure how to read the *.m3u file into listbox. ***note: it reads just like a *.txt file...any idea's how?

Also, is there a way retrieve your online buddys through an API from AOL Instant Messenger or send IM's through API???

Thanx People!

I have no idea about the AOL thing. But for the first, just go line by line (Print #1, MyString) and add into the listbox (lstBox.AddElement MyString).

Try this:

Dim intFileNo As Long
Dim strLine As String
 
intFileNo = FreeFile
 
Open "c:\mp3.txt" For Input As #intFileNo
Do While Not EOF(intFileNo)
    Line Input #intFileNo, strLine
    List1.AddItem strLine
Loop

This assumes each filename is on a different line...e.g;

Sound1.mp3
Sound2.mp3
Sound3.mp3
....
