I have a text file like this;

Bananas=60
Tomatoes=34
Rasberries=102
Apples=23

If I have a form with textboxes or numericalupdowns is there anyway I could change the number of fruit and veg in the text file?

Could it be possible to somehow open the textfile into the form then, edit & save?

Thanks

What have you done so far? Please post your code here and someone will help you. Do wrap your programming code blocks within [code] .. [/code] tags.

I have no code at the moment.

All i have is abunch of textboxes for the numbers of fruits.
