reading from a directory into a variable

[ralph07]

I'm new to VB and I will like to know how to read informations from a directory into a variable and later turn the variable into an array in visual basic.
furthermore, is there anyway to incorporate a perl script that was already created in VB? Thanks for your help in advance

What version of VB are you using? And what sort of information are you referring to when you say "informatio n from a directory"? Do you mean the list of files?

Try checking out the FileSystemObjec t object. It provides all sort of functionality to work with drives, folders (directories) and files.

Don't know about perl scripts. Have you tried using the search box up the top?
