How to create a build system in Sublime Text 3?

Help! trying to create a VB 2010 program to look up state/abbreviation?

• I am trying to create a program that looks up states or abbreviations from a .txt file all ready created I'm quite a beginner at this and I know I'm missing a lot of code so far. But I can't figure out the method to use in order to have the abbreviation or state show up based on a radio button selected and what's entered in a text box. I'm very lost! Help?! I have this: Option Strict On Imports System.IO Public Class Exam2 Private States As StreamReader Structure StatesStructure Dim Abbreviation As String Dim State As String End Structure Private Statesarray(56) As StatesStructure Private count, stateindex As Integer Private Sub LookUpButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles LookUpButton.Click OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() count = 0 States = New StreamReader(OpenFileDialog1.Filename) Do While States.Peek <> -1 And AbbreviationRadioButton.Checked = True StateNameBox.Focus() Statesarray(count).Abbreviation = States.ReadLine count += 1 Loop States.Close() Do While States.Peek <> -1 And StateRadioButton.Checked = True Statesarray(count).State = States.ReadLine count += 1 Loop States.Close() count = count - 1 StateNameBox.Text = Statesarray(0).State StateAbbreviationBox.Text = Statesarray(0).Abbreviation End Sub Private Sub ExitButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ExitButton.Click Me.Close() End Sub Private Sub ClearButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ClearButton.Click StateNameBox.Clear() StateAbbreviationBox.Clear() End Sub End Class

• Answer:

  You can read the file into an array and search the array. You can make all entries the same length, then read the file into a single string and search the string. You can open the file as a database http://www.connectionstrings.com/textfile
