Save that number to the file, and repeat the process til it reaches 0. I am learning VB.NET in a very unusual way, I know. I have never done this before and am just simply looking for help or a push in the right direction. Thanks!
Ignoring all the noise from the other posts... look at ReadAllLines, ReadAllText, and WriteAllLines and WriteAllText ... since you're only reading one value (and presumably one line) the Lines and Text methods should produce the same result.
