Hello!
I'm trying to make a little picture downloader, and the main idea of it is that i have a loaded document, with about 7000 lines of codes which are used to find pictures on the web. In the file there is 5 lines of codes for each photo, that should individually be viewed to sperate labels. Then my download part of the program should download the picture, and afterwards each label should skip 5 lines, displaying the next series of numbers, ready for download.

So what i'm looking for is some piece of code that could read specefic lines in a ListBox, and display them in a label. After download, it should skip 5 lines, and get the next codes ready for display. Each label should only view 1 string at a time.

Could anyone make me a piece of code to use or instruct me on a non-pro scale on how to do this? Code examples is preferred..

Thanks,

What is non-pro scale? There are only two things: programming and trash.
Why I, for example, would suggest you some code, if the whole idea looks not good enough to discuss anything seriously. What is your ultimate goal?

As i wrote, i'm okay with code examples.. I meant that i would like some explanation about the code, indstead of just a paste of code. Hope this cleared it up a bit for you :)

My only comment is: you got what you have been asking for: an answer from a non-programmer, "Solution 1". Ask for "non-pro scale" solution and got something totally unprofessional in response. Congratulations!

You could programmatically select a listbox index and do

VB

Label1.Text = Listbox1.SelectedIndex

You could then do a loop and tell it to skip. The skip part you could create an integer and if it is a specific number, skip the next five numbers and continue with the loop.

For something extra-difficult (not really) do some multi-threading so your computer doesn't throw you out for however long.

Dim ListBoxIndex As Integer = 1 'Select Which Item (Item 1)
YourListBox.SelectedIndex = ListBoxIndex - 1
