Of course that would take more planning that just what i said. Might need to add a few more variables and statements, but overall I think it is a better method. You would still have to read it from the file everytime + have the information in the file.

I think the best way would be to hard code it, and think of a way to incorporate how much the exp goes up into what level they are on into a function. If you really want code on how to read from a text I will give it to you, but reading the text is just the beginning. You will have to specify the data to only pull what you need per level.

Code:

Dim reader As System.IO.StreamReader
Dim filename As String = "exp-easy.txt"
reader = System.IO.File.OpenText(filename)
textbox1.Text = reader.ReadToEnd
reader.Close()

Here, this will get you started. This will open a textfile named exp-easy.txt and load it into a textbox. Adapt it to suit your needs.
