Hey all quick question. I want to display all the file names of all the files within a directory. so i wrote a click_button function that does the following:

Dim sFile() As String = Directory.GetFiles("C:\test", "*.txt")

        Dim i As Integer

        For i = 0 To sFile.GetUpperBound(0)

            txtconsole.AppendText(sFile(0))



        Next

the problem is that it just displays my text in a text box one after the other. I want it to output the file name, go to the next line and then out the next file name. I can't seem to find how to get the cursor to "return" b4 outputting the next file name. Any ideas?

txtconsole.AppendText(sFile(0) + "\r\n")

That should add a line break.

thanks i actually found another way too

Dim ret As String = ControlChars.NewLine

txtconsole.AppendText(sFile(i) & ret)

You can use VbCrLf, too; this is the carriage return/linefeed combination. There are some other predefined constants here that you might find interesting.

I use the " ControlChars.NewLine() " when doing a new line after text.

Sounds familiar. Did you happen to see post #3?
