Help!

Hi All!

I am trying to write a program where a user puts in their name as follows:

"Hi my name is X"
"X"
"So glad to meet you, I am X"

Where "X" is the users name.

The program would return:
"Hi X, what can I do for you today?"

---
I am using a Split so it can sort through the textbox

Its important that the program must recognize any name inputted into the textbox, then it could be used again elsewhere in the code, probably in varible form. Therefore I have been using a textfile with a list of names and a variable to pass them though.

Heres the code....I appreciate your time and expertise!

Hi globalevel.

Although you explained your intentions fairly well, I couldn't make out exactly what it is that you want from us.
