a project i have just started, will have a open button, so the user can select an npj file. the npj file contains xml data like so
Code:
<WAYPOINT_LIST>
<ID>8</ID>
<NAME>WPList</NAME>
<FOLDER>WPList Folder</FOLDER>
<MEMBERS></MEMBERS>
<COLOR>00000000</COLOR>
</WAYPOINT_LIST>

<NAME>WPList</NAME>
<FOLDER>WPList Folder</FOLDER>
<MEMBERS></MEMBERS>
<COLOR>00000000</COLOR>
</WAYPOINT_LIST>
<AI>
<ID>1710</ID>
<NAME>[Cindo03] -- Indonesian Civilian #3 Male</NAME>
<TYPE_ID>2067</TYPE_ID>
<UNSEL_COLOR>FF00</UNSEL_COLOR>
<DESCRIPTION>[Cindo03] -- Indonesian Civilian #3 Male</DESCRIPTION>

<UNSEL_COLOR>FF00</UNSEL_COLOR>
<DESCRIPTION>[Cindo03] -- Indonesian Civilian #3 Male (1)</DESCRIPTION>
<POSITION>
<X>-760.761108</X>
<Z>-1422.518066</Z>

<VISION_RANGE>100</VISION_RANGE>
<MIN_ATTACK>0</MIN_ATTACK>
<MAX_ATTACK>100</MAX_ATTACK>
<ALERT_STATE>2</ALERT_STATE>
</AI>
now when the user clicks to open the file, i would like a combo box to display the "description" of all of the AI's in the npj file
eg
Code:
[Cindo03] -- Indonesian Civilian #3 Male (1)
if the user selects the above AI in the list, and then clicks a generate script button, it would output that particular AI's ID. in this case "1711"
now please dont tell me how to do this, but please could you tell me what i need to go away and revise.. databases? .. to be honest im lost with the whole "open a file and display its contents"
i know how to create a file by a user clicking a button... if you would need to know what level im at with this to help me, here is a basic program i made
