Question fetch text file from the web into ListView control?
The "file.txt" is a plain ASCII line-delimited database:
Code:
first line here
second line here
another line here
few more lines
here some more
and here too
and more here
and so on


So far I got this:

Code:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
On Error Resume Next
ListView1.ListItems.Add = Inet1.OpenURL
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Inet1.URL = "http://www.server.com/file.txt"
End Sub


The above adds the whole file to the first line of ListView. Is there a way to fill ListView with "file.txt" line by line? I guess there should be a FOREACH statement somewhere to go over the database line by line adding each line to the ListView control.

Thank you in advance.

You could read the file.txt into a local variable. Then split the local variable on line breaks and add to the listview line by line.

Code:

ListView1.ListItems.Add = Inet1.OpenURL
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Inet1.URL = "http://www.server.com/file.txt"
End Sub



I'm not Doug, but this should work.

Code:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
On Error Resume Next
dim blah as string
blah = Inet1.OpenURL
AddToList = Split(blah, vbcrlf)
With ListView1
.listitems.add = AddToList(0)
.listitems.add = AddToList(1)
.listitems.add = AddToList(2)
.listitems.add = AddToList(3)
.listitems.add = AddToList(4)
.listitems.add = AddToList(5)
.listitems.add = AddToList(6)
.listitems.add = AddToList(7)
End With
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Inet1.URL = "http://www.server.com/file.txt"
End Sub

No problem ;-P

Forgot to mention, if the array is not the same everytime and the ubound changes

you can use this instead to add all of the array to the listview

Code:
    
    Dim Blah As String
    Blah = Inet1.OpenURL
    Blah2 = split(Blah, vbCrLf)
    
    For i = 0 To UBound(Blah2)
        ListView1.ListItems.Add = Blah2(i)
    Next


Or you can use that anyways, its probably a lot cleaner.
