Request: Help With making program

[Earthcoder]

Hello.

I been searching the internet for a day now trying to look for a simple program, that will run on windows 2000

That would Pop up a search box where you type in a word, then it searches a Txt file or Xml file or CSv file, and brings back to the screen the line of next from the search name.

E.g.

Txt file looks like this

s32452135 4503205

s20034423 20304955

s0209422 2939923

and so on

Xml looks like this of same txt file

<Pwdobs>

<number>s32452135</number>

<Dob>4503205</Dob>

</Pwdobs>

<Pwdobs>

<Snumber>s20034423</Snumber>

<Dob>20304955</Dob>

</Pwdobs>

So i got the file, Now just want a simple seach that would look for required number - s32452135 and then it would display 4503205 in a txt box that can be Copied.

I thought using Xml would make it easier as you search in number and show Dob

But i cant seem to find anything on the net that helps me with this.

needs to be program if possiable to make it easier for users to use, But html popup would do too.

Anyone able to help.

also got other text files with info i want displayed in a program.

i have Visual Basic express on pc, but its been 10years since i used a programming lang

well ive been doing alot of php lately and i can for sure say that php will work perfectly for what you're trying to do. you can up a txt/csv file, search through it, and display all of the results in a table.
