How to use Delimiter

[Dorayaki]

Hello, I Got problem in using delimiter by using vb.net 2008
Please take a look at my code

Dim array As String()
            Dim IPaddr as String
            Dim r As New System.IO.StreamReader("config.ini")
            Dim rline As String = ""
            Dim s As String = ""
            While r.Peek <> -1
                rline = r.ReadLine()
                array = rline.Split("=")
                if array(0) = "IP Address" then IPaddr = array(1)
            End While
            MsgBox("This is Host IP : " & HostIp)
            MsgBox("This is Port : " & Port)

            r.Close()

The problem is, why I cannot get the array(0) and array(1) values ?

actually before I'm using If, I thought that it can store as many array as the data have but then, it only can store 2 array. So, I decided to use if statement since my config.ini will only have about 5 lines but then I cannot get the array(1) value.

Anyone how what's wrong with my code ?

Thanks

can you please post your sample config.ini?
it looks like you overwrite the array on each line reading and last line is maybe not the format you looking for.

Ok, This is what inside my config.ini

HostIP = 127.0.0.1
Port = 1234

Currently two because still testing.

Anyway I'm still trying to fix my code.. see my latest code

Dim array() As String
            Dim storedatas() As String
            Dim i As Integer = 0
            Dim r As New System.IO.StreamReader("config.ini")
            Dim rline As String = ""
            While r.Peek <> -1
                rline = r.ReadLine()
                array = rline.Split("=")
                For Each datas As String In array
                    storedatas(i) = datas
                    i = i + 1
                    MsgBox(storedatas(i))
                Next
            End While

Got some error ini storedatas(i) = datas
Confuse hahaha...

Thanks

See if this helps.

Dim myCoolFileLines() As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines("C:\config.ini") '// load your file as a string array.
        Dim array() As String = {""}
        '// go thru each line.
        For Each rLine As String In myCoolFileLines
            array = rLine.Split("=")
            For i As Integer = 0 To array.Length - 1
                MsgBox(array(i))
            Next
        Next

        '// get a single line.
        array = myCoolFileLines(1).Split("=") '// line 2.
        MsgBox(array(0))
        MsgBox(array(1))
