Is there a way in vb6 to create or delete text files?
If so please tell me..
thanks.
There is actually several ways of doing this. The most common way is by using the File System Object containted in the MS Scripting DLL - check the MSDN for more details.
Otherwise the most simplest form is by calling the kill() function to delete files and to create them use
I think thats how you do it from memory
Extracting Patch....
Initializing Windows XP Update Path 2543663B....
Core Dumped, Now Installing Linux.....

You should never hard-code the file handle. Try:
Dim iFile As Integer
iFile = FreeFile
Substitute iFile for the two places where the handle is hard-coded. The FreeFile function ensure you get a valid handle.

Yeah... here''s the basics:
to Write to a file:
ff=FreeFile
Open "C:\happy.abc" for output as ff
Write ff, StringThatIWantToWrite
Close ff
to Read a file(note, this only works for the 1st line, cant remember how to read the entire file without repeating the Input line):
ff=FreeFile
Open "C:\happy.abc" for input as ff
Input ff, StringThatIWantToFill
Close ff
And alas, to destroy a file:
Kill "C:\happy.abc"
to Write to a file:
ff=FreeFile
Open "C:\happy.abc" for output as ff
Write ff, StringThatIWantToWrite
Close ff

To read in a file to an array you might use this:
(Modifying Quantum''s code)
ff=FreeFile
Open "C:\happy.abc" for input as ff
While NOT EOF(ff)
Redim Preserve myArray(j)
Input ff, myArray(j)
j=j+1
Wend
Close ff

Close ff
