Re: Reading in a textfile?

Hello everyone,

I've created a functioning ATM program, a bank machine.

Now I want to implement usernames and Pins into it. So I have a text
file with this info.
BILL, 1111
TOM, 2222
CHRIS, 3333

How do I go about reading those values from a text file into arrays
and then access those arrays?

Look up filestream.

Also, I would highly suggest using a Xml file instead of just a text
file.

Something like:

<Accounts>
<Users>
<Bill pin="1111" />
<Tom pin="2222" />
<Chris pin="3333" />
</User>
</Accounts>

Then use something like this to validate users

'Imports System.Xml assumed

private function IsValid(userName as string, userPin as string)
Dim doc as XmlDocument
doc.Load("MyXmlFilePath.Xml")
Dim node as XmlNode = doc.GetElementsByTagName(userName)(0)
if node.Attributes("pin").Value = userPin then
return True
else
return false
end if
end function

Thanks,
