Question How to Connect Notepad as a Database

[wowjen]

I am making a bookworm game as my project in school
and I wanted my words database to be in notepad,
but how can I connect and query using vb.net2008?

I got this idea from an online game
that the game database for restricted words are in notepad,
I also wanted to do that....

please, help... ^_^

tnx in advance!

by the way,
I'm looking for an english dictionary database,
I hope someone can give me a link to download...
(preferably in notepad or in SQL)...

thanks again!

that the game database for restricted words are in notepad,

VERY unlikely

The words are in a TEXT file. Usually if you double click a .txt file, it's opened with notepad.

The easiest way, would be:
Dim s() As String = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("path")

If the file contains your words, you get all the words into an array of string.
