How to load and save StringGrid content?

First part of the code works OK while the second (commented) does not. It overwrites my A1 file although it should write to A2.

procedure TForm1.AdvGlowButton12Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  i,j: Integer;
  Seznam: TStrings;
  ApplicationPath: string;
begin
  if (cxRadiogroup3.ItemIndex and cxRadiogroup2.ItemIndex) = 0 then begin
    ApplicationPath:= ExtractFileDir(Application.ExeName);
    Seznam:= TStringList.Create;
    try
      for i:=0 to advStringGrid2.ColCount-1 do
        Seznam.AddStrings(advStringGrid2.Cols [i]);
      for i:=0 to advStringGrid2.rowCount-1 do
        Seznam.AddStrings(advStringGrid2.rows [j]);
      Seznam.SaveToFile(ApplicationPath+'\A1.txt');
    finally
      seznam.free;
    end;
  end ;
  //if cxRadiogroup3.ItemIndex = 1 and cxRadiogroup2.ItemIndex = 0 then begin
  //  ApplicationPath:= ExtractFileDir(Application.ExeName);
  //  Seznam:= TStringList.Create;
  //  try
  //    for i:=0 to advStringGrid2.ColCount-1 do
  //      Seznam.AddStrings(advStringGrid2.Cols [i]);
  //    for i:=0 to advStringGrid2.rowCount-1 do
  //      Seznam.AddStrings(advStringGrid2.rows [j]);
  //    Seznam.SaveToFile(ApplicationPath+'\A2.txt');
  //  finally
  //    seznam.free;
  //  end ;
  //end
end;

What am I doing wrong ? Also why is the stringgrid giving listindex out of bounds when I try to load into it contents from an empty text file? If I save empty stringgrid to that file,later ,though it has nothing in the file,it does not complain? Strange...

This is how I load A1 and A2 into the stringgrid.

procedure TForm1.cxRadioGroup2Click(Sender: TObject);
Var
  I,j,k: Integer;
  Seznam: TStrings;
  ApplicationPath: string;
begin
  case cxradioGroup2.ItemIndex of
    0: begin
         if cxradioGroup3.ItemIndex = 0 then begin
           Seznam:= TStringList.Create;
           AdvStringgrid2.ClearAll;
           try
             Seznam.LoadFromFile('A1.txt');
             k:= 0;
             for i:=0 to advStringGrid2.ColCount-1 do
               for j:=0 to advStringGrid2.RowCount-1 do begin
                 advstringGrid2.Cells [i,j]:= Seznam.Strings [k];
                 Inc(k);
               end;
           finally
             seznam.free;
           end;
         end;
         if cxradioGroup3.ItemIndex = 1 then begin
           Seznam:= TStringList.Create;
           AdvStringgrid2.ClearAll;
           try
             Seznam.LoadFromFile('A2.txt');
             k:=0;
             for i:=0 to advStringGrid2.ColCount-1 do
               for j:=0 to advStringGrid2.RowCount-1 do begin
                 advstringGrid2.Cells [i,j]:= Seznam.Strings [k];
                 Inc(k);
               end;
           finally
             seznam.free;
           end;
         end;
       end;
  end;
end;

here is an old tipp from SwissDelphiCenter that could help you

// Save StringGrid1 to 'c:\temp.txt':
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  SaveStringGrid(StringGrid1, 'c:\temp.txt');
end;

// Load StringGrid1 from 'c:\temp.txt':
procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  LoadStringGrid(StringGrid1, 'c:\temp.txt');
end;

// Save a TStringGrid to a file

procedure SaveStringGrid(StringGrid: TStringGrid; const FileName: TFileName);
var
  f:    TextFile;
  i, k: Integer;
begin
  AssignFile(f, FileName);
  Rewrite(f);
  with StringGrid do
  begin
    // Write number of Columns/Rows
    Writeln(f, ColCount);
    Writeln(f, RowCount);
    // loop through cells
    for i := 0 to ColCount - 1 do
      for k := 0 to RowCount - 1 do
        Writeln(F, Cells[i, k]);
  end;
  CloseFile(F);
end;

// Load a TStringGrid from a file

procedure LoadStringGrid(StringGrid: TStringGrid; const FileName: TFileName);
var
  f:          TextFile;
  iTmp, i, k: Integer;
  strTemp:    String;
begin
  AssignFile(f, FileName);
  Reset(f);
  with StringGrid do
  begin
    // Get number of columns
    Readln(f, iTmp);
    ColCount := iTmp;
    // Get number of rows
    Readln(f, iTmp);
    RowCount := iTmp;
    // loop through cells & fill in values
    for i := 0 to ColCount - 1 do
      for k := 0 to RowCount - 1 do
      begin
        Readln(f, strTemp);
        Cells[i, k] := strTemp;
      end;
  end;
  CloseFile(f);
end;

I'm trying to understand your code and tried him as good as it is possible for me to rewrite. (it's not tested)

procedure TForm1.AdvGlowButton12Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  i, j: Integer;
  Seznam: TStrings;
  ApplicationPath: string;
  fileName: string;
  line: string;
begin
  if (cxRadiogroup2.ItemIndex = 0) then begin
    if (cxRadiogroup3.ItemIndex = 0) then
      fileName:= 'A1.txt'
    else
      fileName:= 'A2.txt'

    ApplicationPath:= ExtractFileDir(Application.ExeName);
    Seznam:= TStringList.Create;
    try
      for k:=0 to advStringGrid2.RowCount-1 do begin
        line:= '';
        for i:=0 to advStringGrid2.ColCount-1 do
          line = line + '|' + advStringGrid2.Cells[i, k];
        Seznam.AddStrings(line);
      end;
      Seznam.SaveToFile(ApplicationPath + '\' + fileName);
    finally
      seznam.Free;
    end;
  end;
end;

procedure TForm1.cxRadioGroup2Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  splitList: TStringList;
  i, j: Integer;
  Seznam: TStrings;
  ApplicationPath: string;
  fileName: string;
  line: string;
  sepIndex: integer;
begin
  if (cxRadiogroup2.ItemIndex = 0) then begin
    if (cxRadiogroup3.ItemIndex = 0) then
      fileName:= 'A1.txt'
    else
      fileName:= 'A2.txt'

    AdvStringgrid2.ClearAll; // don't know what this does

    ApplicationPath:= ExtractFileDir(Application.ExeName);
    Seznam:= TStringList.Create;
    try
      Seznam.LoadFromFile(fileName);
      advstringGrid2.RowCount:= Seznam.Count;
      splitList:= TStringList.Create;
      for i:=0 to Seznam.Count-1 do begin
        line:= Seznam.Strings [i];
        Split('|', line, splitList);
        advStringGrid2.ColCount:= Max(advStringGrid2.ColCount, splitList.Count);
        for k:=0 to splitList.Count-1 do
          advStringGrid2.Cells[i, k]:= splitList[k];
      end; 
    finally
      splitList.Free;
      seznam.Free;
    end;
  end;
end;

procedure Split (const Delimiter: Char; Input: string; const Strings: TStrings);
begin
   Assert(Assigned(Strings));
   Strings.Clear;
   Strings.Delimiter:= Delimiter;
   Strings.DelimitedText:= Input;
end;

hope that helps
