Displaying a textfile using Wordpad.

Thanks in advance for any help received.

Is it possible to automatically display a text file in Wordpad using VB.NET
and if so how do I do it?

Thanks again

\\\Notepad
Dim p As New Process
Dim pi As New ProcessStartInf o
pi.arguments = "c:\windows\win .ini"
pi.FileName = "notepad.ex e"
p.startinfo = pi
p.Start()
///
Is this sample as well OK?

I have a textfile "textfile.txt" containing a list of words. There is one word on each line. I want to pick two random lines from this textfile, and I have tried to do something like: //Loading the file into an array: $textarray = file("textfile.txt); //Using array_rand to pick two random words $rand_numbers = array_rand($textarray, 2);

I'm trying to find a clean way to launch a Wordpad editor on Windows. By "clean", I mean that it should work on as many versions of Windows as possible, and it shouldn't require installing any extra software. I assume everyone has win32api and its friends. The problem is to find the path to wordpad.exe. At first I just copied the path from my XP machine: c:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\WORDPAD.EXE

Hey, there! I'm new to vb.net and it seems I wouldn't be able to solve this without help. I have a pipe delimited file that has to be saved in txt format so it could be accepted by my DTS package. If I open and save the file manualy in Wordpad - it works. (not in Notepad otherwise formatting is changed and DTS package won't accept it.)

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
