vcent Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hi. I have a text file like this [APPLE] Color: Red Quantity: 100 Country: France [Orange] Color: Orange Quantity: 300 Country: China I want to use a loop to check for Apple and get the country. The outer loop is easy. I can use a while....wend to get apple. But how do I get the 2nd item. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triblade Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 This looks like how an ini-file is build. Maybe if the rest of the text file is the same you could port it to the ini format? Then this would make it a lot easier.
