Project Ideas?

[Kristy234]

I've got to make a program in vb6 for a major project, but i cant think of what to make. I would prefer to make something that i might end up using once I've made it, so that its not a complete waste of time. Any ideas?

Windows is short on utilities like unix has - like:

removing duplicate lines in a text file without having to sort it, finding duplicatated lines.

stream editing a text file using regular expressions, searching a text file using regular expressions.
