I have a question that may be simple to answer but I cannot find the answer anywhere on the Net.
I am programming in Visual Basic and would very much appreciate if you can help me with the following question:
I have a "space" delimited text file containing several line of data of the same format.
The file provides market data which I receive after a trading session is terminated such as Open Price, Close Price High and Low prices.
An example is gen below:
ID Date Open Close High Low
123 22.06.2020 12.25 14.25 12.85 11.90
111 21.06.2020 32.10 33.11 34.12 31.05
etc..
Each field in the line is separated by a single space only as shown above! I would like to know how to read the data in the text file into separate array element in my VB program for further processing.
I have the following declaration in my program:
Public Structure History_Data
Public req_id As Integer
Public Hst_Date As String
Public Hst_Open As Double
Public Hst_Close As Double
Public Hst_High As Double
Public Hst_Low As Double
End Structure
Public Hst_Array(100) As History_Data
My question is how can I read each piece of data in the text file into a separate array element (e.g. Open into Hst_Open, Close into Hst_Close, etc.) and repeat the process for each line read from the file until the end of the file is reached?
Your help is greatly appreciated!
