The discussion centers on creating a useful program in VB6 for a major project, emphasizing the desire for practical applications rather than a waste of time. Key ideas include developing utilities for Windows that address gaps compared to Unix, such as tools for removing duplicate lines in text files without sorting, finding duplicated lines, and stream editing text files using regular expressions. Additionally, searching text files with regular expressions is highlighted as a valuable feature that could enhance functionality and usability.

I've got to make a program in vb6 for a major project, but i can't 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.
