How to store and retrieve variables from a file?

[mark1221]

I have a program and an input box where users can set a variable, but i want the variable to be saved in an external file
and i want the program to retrieve that variable everytime the program starts.

I'll appreciate help :D

are you using vb6, or vb.net, or another version?

and, for doing things everytime a program starts, check out the OnLoad event.

I don't really care since i know both but i prefer VB6 tbh :\

well, i don't really remember anything specific about what i did with vb6 in high school, but in .net, you should check out the StreamWriter (and StreamReader) object in System.IO

Thanks! i got it working with
Imports System.IO

Great thing, really..
