Reading Multiple MS Word Files into String Array {Visual Basic.NET}?

Question

[Visual Basic.NET]

Can someone please help me about how to read multiple .doc files, say 40 word files into an array of String

Answer 1

You'll want all the .doc files in a single directory with no other files in it.

You would open a path to that directory then run a FOR / NEXT loop to open each .doc, read it into your array and close it

Answer 2

Do you just want to read the filenames of the files into an array or actually get the file contents? If the latter, I wouldn't recommend it. Word's .DOC file format is not a text format (unless you save it as XML).

Answer 3

You need to index the arrays: if(i%2 !=0){ arrayState[i] = inputFile.nextLine(); } else { arrayCapital[i] = inputFile.nextLine(); }
