Visual Basic :: Save And Load ???

Load/Save From/to Txt?
I'm a beginner with visual basic. i guess we could start there..

Private Sub Save1_Click()
Open (App.Path & " emp.txt") For Output As #1
variabelone = Text1.Text
Print #1, variabelone
Close #1
End Sub

These rows will save whatever text there is in "text1" to a text document called temp. Some similar rows will load whatever temp.txt containes and output that in text2.

This far no problem. I wrote this to prepare myself for the saving part in a game im programming in visual basic. The problem with this system is that, to save a game in my game, you will need at least 300 of those txt:s. And that is not an option according to me.

I know it is possible in some very easy way, but i can't find anywhere telling my how to do it:

How can i save and load information to/from a specific Row in a text document? (so i can use ONE txt-file, containing 300 rows, instead of 300 files, containing one each...)

thanks //sam

Save/Load
I have a text editor, where, of course, I'll want to be able to Save/Load. I have 2 command buttons in a second form which I want to be able to click to open a Save Window. Now, I have managed to make a window open that lets me type in an address to save the file at, but I would like to be able to browse and save. The same thing goes with Load. Can anybody help?

Save And Load
I have written this timesheet application, but I have run into a snag. When you first run it, it works great. I have it set up to put a msgbox up if there are not any times to calculate. Once you save it, then load it and run it, if there a no times to calculate it gives me a mismatch error. It seems to just skip the msgbox step and give me an error. Would anyone like to take a crack at this one. I am sure it is simple enough, I'm just not seeing it. I have attached the ZIP file for anyone interested. Perhaps someone can enlighten me on a better way to do it.

Thanks, Dave

Save/load
Hi all!
I wrote a piece of software and I need to insert a couple buttons that would save and load the settings. I already export all the settings to some .txt files. But what if I want to import them back and make all the checkboxes and buttons corespond to the saved settings. I have no idea on how to start on even creating the menus to save to a file and load from a file (you know, like a save and an open button in word for example). Please send me any pointers or maybe websites that have articles about this problem.
Thanks.

How To Save/load A Game
Hiya,

I did a search of the forums, but I did not find any clear information on how to write the code for saving and/or loading a game.

Basically, I'm working on a kingdom simulator that is full of different variables, such as Treasury amount, population size, taxation level, industrial population size, etc.

I'm looking for a code that would let me save the game and also let me load it from a while later on so I can continue playing from where I left off.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Save And Load Forms
Hi everyone. Another beginner's question:

I have vb5. I've always written my save / load file forms on my own, using objects such as drive1, file1, dir1, and writing code for them. (actually I wrote one the first time and then pasted it where I needed)

Well, is there a way to quickly create form with the look of the ones in win2k and office 2k? I mean with those icons such as desktop, documents, my computer... on the left side and with those icons (upper level, back, create new folder) on the top of the form? Writing one on my own would take hours, wouldn't it?

Maybe there's a place where I can download one and then customize the code to my needs?

Thank you everyone!
Bye!

2) The part with the right click
PopUpMenu (edt) gives me a "warning" saying non value variable or somthing of the sort. This is all in VB. Please help me. Give very detailed expamples and help please.

Save / Load To Text File
Hi Guys,

I have a real big request.

I am totally stuck on how to write the contents of a text box to file, and load it back in at a later stage.

Could some one show me how to do it.

I have attached a form, which is highly simplified, but if some one could demostrate on it how to Save to file, and Load back, that would be great.

I need the option of when pressing save, to be able to select where it is saved to, and what to call it.

Many thanks
