Redundant Text File

[UnknownUser]

Im just starting out in Visual Basic and moving on up to C++ n a few years.. i am trying to make a program that can make multiple names in a single text file such as 100Hello all the way to 1000000000Hello without having to type in all of that (it would take days)... i would need it to ask me for the name i wish to creat and what number from 1 i want to go up to... i already have the interface and most of the code but i dont know how to calculate it all into a single text file with the name that i entered and the number of names..could anyone help..?

-thanks in advance

Hi,

Use a proc and send the parameters after you've got them from the user.

e.g.


Private Sub WriteFile(inInitial as integer, _
inNoOfLoops as integer, _
inName as string)

open "C:\X.TXT" for output as #1

for iLoop=inInitial to inInitial+inNoOfLoops
print #1,iLoop & inName
next iloop

close #1

end sub

now this is from thinking, I haven't tried it(this forum has great people who will correct me where I lied)

then run it WriteFile(1,10,"phathi&quot [/color blue] or whatever.

Ciao

oh yeah, i did do the same thing in Unix but that was a year ago and i forgot..we created one text file that said Dummy File about 1000 times, i want to do the same with VB but instead of having it just say Hello a thousand times, i would like it to add one every time (1000Hello, 1001Hello, 1002Hello, etc.) and i want to be able to control how many times i want it to be in the file and which names i want..does that make any sense at all? <font color=red>
