Listbox & Global List Madness

[Option_Explicit]

Ok what I'm doing is creating a text file with a list of web addresses and and Desriptions for each address. - ie: "AMS Support;;http://www.indigorose.com/forums"
so I'm using this to read the text file then seperate the descriptions to a listbox, and the web addresses to a Global list.

ListBoxObject[AListBox].Remove (All)
%URLFileL% = TextFile.CountLines ("%SrcDir%\List\url.txt")
%URLVar% = "0"
WHILE (%URLVar% < %URLFileL%)
%TextLine% = TextFile.GetLine ("%SrcDir%\List\url.txt", %URLVar%)
%URLText% = String.GetDelimitedString ("%TextLine%", ";;", 0)
ListBoxObject[AListBox].Add (End, "%URLText%")
%URLText% = String.GetDelimitedString ("%TextLine%", ";;", 1)
GlobalList[URLGlobalList].Add (End, "%URLText%")
%URLVar% = Evaluate (%URLVar% + 1)
END WHILE

Now as long as I add the items to the end of each Listbox/Global list, the index numbers should be the same for each, so when I call up from listbox index 4 the corrosponding index 4 in the global list will be the correct address for the listed description..

ie:
%SelectedIndex% = ListBoxObject[AListBox].GetSelected
IF (%SelectedIndex% = 0)
%ListItem% = GlobalList[URLGlobalList].GetItem (0)
File.Open (open, "%ListItem%")
END IF


I can't find a condition to verify that the I am getting the correct web address for the listbox selection I make.
Am I out to lunch on this?
BTW: I need to use a textfile, so users can edit their own list of Urls to keep, without keeping all this within the .exe file.

Message dialogs can be inserted anywhere in your code to test values at runtime, i.e. when you click the listbox a message dialog can display the value for you.

Other than that I didn't really see a specific question in your post, hope that helps...

well corey, I did this for the listbox

%SelectedIndex% = ListBoxObject[AListBox].GetSelected
IF (%SelectedIndex% = %SelectedIndex%)
%ListItem% = GlobalList[URLGlobalList].GetItem (%SelectedIndex%)
File.Open (open, "%ListItem%")
END IF

and it seems to work,

What the question was, I wasn't sure if adding items to the global list would keep the same index numbers as the listbox items reliably.
When i %SelectedIndex% = 6, then %ListItem% = 6 better have the correct data.
this code did make sense as to what I'm trying to accomplish?

anyway, all seems to work:)
