Get array from a file in vb.net

[almn]

Hello,

I would like to know how to load the contenet of a file to an array in vb.net.
Example:

file.db:
hello,
hi
good
bad

Array:
index1 = hello,
index2 = hi
index3 = good
index4 = bad

Thanks

There is always the brute force method, read a record, redim the array, push the record into the array.

If this were a text file you can use the File.ReadAllLines(string) method, but since I notice your file name is a database, go with the brute force method and use ADO access methods for file.db

Happy Programming. 8-)

You could include a number as the first entry of a file that tells you how many enteries there are. Or, if you pad all enteries out to a certain length, you can calculate from the file size, but that is disk space inefficient.
