Populate a TStringGrid from text file or/ word document

[HappyLucky]

Hi,

I've 2 questions:

1) I'm trying to fill a string grid(not using SQL query), but using values on ini file.

2) I want to search for a range of values and populate the values in the string grid. As my values are stored in text file/word document instead of database server, I cannot use SQL query or ADO to do a search.


This is my first time encounter it.

Does anyone know how to do the above.
Appreciate your help.

Thanks.

You could load the text file into a stringlist and run through it one item at a time.

var
  MyList : TStringList;
begin
  MyList := TStringList.Create;
  MyList.LoadFromFile('C:\MyFile.txt');
  
  {Add lines to stringlist here}
  
  MyList.Free;
end; [\code]

hi

1. Getting values from ini files.

http://delphi.about.com/library/weekly/aa120401a.htm

if you got those values then just set them in the grid columns, rows, Items[x], etc.

2. if it is ini files then check the link above.
if it is text file or word doc. then is more difficult.

you got to search somehow to get those values from the doc/txt. Is data seperate by ; then search text stop when reach ;

check out different possibilities with grids:
dbgrid, stringgrid and drawgrids

cheers,
