I have a text file that resembles hundreds of lines of the following: PE2421D1="33421" PE2422D1="33422" PE2423D1="33423" PE2424D1="33424" PE2425D1="33425" PE2426D1="33426" PE2427D1="33427" PE2428D1="33428" The first is the name of a machine and the second item is what I need to get into some sort of useable format. Sometimes the names and values make logical sense and other times they don't have any correlation at all. My delima is with trying to read through this file, and match the name of the machine in the file with the name of the machine on which the program is being executed, then write the "string" to someplace on that machine, generally the registry or ini files for most of our work. I have dabbled in VB for a little bit but haven't touched it since .NET was released, so I am very rusty. I am looking for the simplest way possible of completing the process on each machine, and the software will be ran on each individual machine so connecting remotely is not an issue here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
