VB 2010 help

[jCuber]

Okay, so i need some help with VB.

How do I return strings from a file into a variable?
I mean...is it possible with something like
[color=#0000FF]

Dim variableOne as String = (code which reads information from file)

[/color]

AND how to check if a file exists)
I remember that some language does it like this:[color=#0000FF]

if (fileexists) ("C:/path/to/file")

[/color] and so on

Try this:

IO.File.Exists(path)

Returns true if the file exists.

How could I use that witha if argument or whatever it's called?
I need to check if a file exists, if it does, open file, else: return an error message (taken care of the msg part)

Here for your file:

If IO.File.Exists("C:/path/to/file") Then
' File exists
Else
' File doesnt exist
End If

Now you can open the file if it exists.

Dim load_file As System.IO.StreamReader
If IO.File.Exists("C:/path/to/file/test.txt") Then
     load_file = IO.File.OpenText("C:/path/to/file/test.txt")
     ' Other code which you want to do
     load_file.Close() ' You need to close it at the end
Else
     ' Maybe showing a message or something else
End If
