what i want to do is read through the file and repopulate the appropriate listboxes with the text lines below each listbox
my question is .. .how do i get the string i read in to map to the corresponding list box on my form.
here is what i have so far
FileOpen(fileNum, "c:\ini\" + txtSaveFile.Text.ToString, OpenMode.Input)
Do Until EOF(fileNum)
fileString = LineInput(fileNum)
If fileString.StartsWith("Lis t") Or fileString.StartsWith("mai n") Then
BoxString = fileString
Else
'point to listbox contained in -BoxString
'add filestring to that listbox
End If
Loop
