Hi Dnerb,
You rant was actually a very useful for
I agree; I am sure there are better methods of storing data and retrieving it later. If you read my post, just above MP's, I did say that I could use The VBScript Textstream method to write out to text files, then to read in when needed. Also, I have never tried the dictionary object methods for anything in VBA, do you have an example of how that might be useful to store data and retreive data?
The reason I want to do something like this is not totally clear yet.
I just had a few thoughts.
I saw someone write a LISP routine using The (wtf) Write to File method, they were retrieving points from where the user picked and some other data, then writing that info to another (probably .txt) file and creating a new Lisp file with it.
So, in essence, the user was actually creating the Lisp routines (dynamically) for him.
I just thought that was very interesting and could be useful for somethings.
Again, Lisp is more ASCII based and might have been better equipped then VB to do these sort of things.
I just wanted to toss it out there and see what people have to say.
We also have methods of dynamic arrays and Redim etc. in VB
So, the whole idea of doing user created modules may just not be a good one at all.
Thoughts?
Thank you,
Mark
