Listbox reading problem?

[ukjock]

I am able to write to a text file no problem. it store's it in the manner that i require:

 

14/12/2003 | 16:12 | HEARTS VERSUS HIBS

14/12/2003 | 16:12 | LAVINE SHOULD BE FORCED TO RESIGN

14/12/2003 | 16:12 | LAVINE SHOULD QUIT

 

 

When i open the text file to be read in a listbox they appear like so:

 

14/12/2003 | 16:12 | HEARTS VERSUS HIBS14/12/2003 | 16:12 | LAVINE SHOULD BE FORCED TO RESIGN 14/12/2003 | 16:12 | LAVINE SHOULD QUIT

 

it actually goes out of the listbox and I can only read a small amount instead of multiple lines.

 

 

my code is :

 

Dim H As New History

Dim a As AddCaller

Dim sr As New IO.StreamReader(New IO.FileStream(Application.StartupPath & "\Logs\Caller_history\" & TextBox4.Text & ".txt", IO.FileMode.OpenOrCreate))

Dim textfromfile As String = sr.ReadToEnd()

H.ListBox1.Items.Add(textfromfile)

sr.Close()

H.Visible = True

 

 

is this becuase i am only adding the text file as 1 item and not multiple? If so how do i go around doing multi line adding from a textbox? is it fairly straight forward.

 

Thanks

You can do it like this:

'read as long as there is anything to read from the file
Do While reader.Read()
  'use the read line method to read a line from the file
  ListBox1.Items.Add(reader.ReadLine())
Loop
