Understood, thank you! Check out my other post about reading the file from the internet? -
I know but I learned programming in TrueBasic and am not used to using 0 in arrays so I was afraid it would screw things up (which it did anyway). But thank you!Leave a comment:

Opening a text file from the internet
I was wondering how I would be able to open and take input from a text file through the internet. I was hoping that I could simply replace the filepath on my computer with the direct file online, but that was not the case. I'm using this to take usernames and passwords from the file. This is the working code I have now putting the data into an array.
Thanks alot, Frog

Simple way to read Login information from text file
This is my first tutorial, so if there are any mistakes please forgive me =).
This will show you a very simple way to read your Login information from an outside text file.
What you need:
1. Add a new "Login Dialog" form to your project.
2. Completely erase the code inside of it, but keep the interface.
3. Create a text file listing your usernames and passwords one line after the other.... -
Okay, thank you all alot for your help. This was the code that I came up with. I Created an array UInfo(999, 2). The X portion of this array is the maximum amount of usernames and passwords I could set, I could increase the amount but I doubt I'll have over 1000 users using this program. The Y portion is set up so if Y=1 then you are looking at a username, and if Y=2 then it is the password for the corresponding username.
In order...Leave a comment:

I did see that but I don't understand how to use it. It essentially hands you a chunk of code and doesn't tell you how to use it
I have also been looking online and many are saying to use ADO, where you would use excel as opposed to a text file. I have been screwing around with this with no success =/.Leave a comment:

Reading in Login info from outside
I am currently writing a very simple encryption program for my friends and myself. I'm still learning VB, but am very familiar with programming itself. This is all irrelevant though, because this technique could be applied to any program which requires logging in.
I would like to be able to make a file (just a basic text file or spreadsheet to start would be fine) with Usernames and Passwords listed which will be accepted into my program.... -
Alright, I now have the program running fine. You simply hightlight what text you want converted and hit win-z and it replaces that text with the encoded text. You highlight what text you want decoded and you get a message box with the decoded text, all while keeping this inside the log in the main program. I also have it to minimize to the tray. I didn't figure out how to set the code$ array in a more organized fashion yet, but I suppose I'm content...Leave a comment:

Yes, I want it to be the same sequence each time, otherwise a program on another computer could not decode it. Essentially I have 10 different code$ arrays with an identifier halfway through the sentence to signal the decoder which array to use. I'll have to play around with the Randomize statement to see if i acn figure something out, seeing as this problem greatly increases the size of my program. I basically have an extra 950 lines lying around,...Leave a comment:

I got it! I figured it out not 10 minutes before you posted. This is what I did.
...Code:sl = Len(uinput.Text) For x = 1 To sl word2$(x) = Mid$(uinput, x, 1) Next x M = 0 Log.Text = Log.Text & "Me: " + uinput.Text + " (" Do Until W = sl W = W + 1 For x = 1 To 95 If alpha$(x) = word2$(W) Then R = x Next x Log.Text = Log.Text & code$(R)Leave a comment:

I'm not familiar with the sendkeys command but I've been toying around with it without success. I'm thinking once I have that down I will be pretty much finished. Nearly every program in Windows recognizes the Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V commands so hopefully I will soon be finished. All I will have to do once I figure out how to copy the text to the clipboard isand then have it run the scrambling subprogram and do aCode:uinput = clipboard.gettext
...Code:clipboard.settext

ooh okay. sl is = sentence length..it takes the length of the sentence so it knows how long to loop when converting. I suppose instead of sl i would make it uinput (userinput). So that way it is taking the clipboard text and replacing the textbox input in my program. Now the only problem is I'm not familiar with the clipboard in VB6 and all the tutorials online are unclear. I want one hotkey to copy, scramble, and paste. The way you had it written...Leave a comment:

Working with clipboard
I posted a few weeks ago about an encryption program I was writing. I now have it working almost as a translator program. I want to use system wide hotkeys to be able to copy, run through the scrambler, and paste over wherever the text was, while also continue to add to the log kept in the home form. I am using mclhotkey for the systemwide hotkeys, but I am not familiar with the clipboard in VB6.
This is the code I have to encode whatever... -
A few VB 6 noob questions.
1. How do I utilize the clipboard...for example...copy highlighted text and paste text?
2. In truebasic you could easily read data to an array by using a code such as
as far as I can tell the read statement has been abolished in VB 6.Code:for x=1 to 10 read alpha$(x) next x data a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j
HELP PLEASE =) -
Creating an "Encoder/Decoder" in VB
Basically my friend's parents used to log his AIM and email so we made a barbaric version of an encoder that we could type in what we wanted and get random letters out. The only problem is that I did it in Truebasic, and I am new to VB. I have the interface layed out with an Encode button and a Decode button with an Input and an output/log. Eventually I want to have it just with universal hotkeys to where you can highlight a text and it automatically...
