save variables after build

[andrew rober]

im working on vb/c++ but now im on vb code but i just need an idea
i know its wrong section but i cant find a right one :@ lol
when u add stuff to the program while its running then u close the program it forget it
so how to save my variables and stuff after closing the program ?
like umm a dll which it takes values from it ?
well what if u want to make a new variables while working ?
(i need to make a robot which add information to itself , so how it will keep that info after understanding ? )
well here is my idea its too small but im working on it
it will be like that

read what i said 
"i got an exam after 2 weeks"
if what i said contain exam/test/quize
it call function of exam/test/quize which contain more words check
at call function it will check for after/before/mark(s)/points/studied/coming/soon/more tags
then put process which will be like if exam+after+time(function contain after/before/next/day/week/month/pla pla pla wish u get my point)
if it contain should/must/study/studying/pla pla pla and so on
and it will be like exam = 10 coming = 10
pla pla pla it calculate the highest exception to decided what is it 
if coming exam it will call alerts to add a new alert on date/time
if studying it will ask for progress to add it to progress bar

well thats how im thinking , maybe good maybe sucks but its my very very very first 10 min thinking about it , so now the problem is my program forget what i did and told him , and its same point for how ill add to it a new words to understand , like how to expect adding variables/arrays/stuff everywhere in my code to be pre done for telling him more to add soon o-0 sorry that was long but my english is too bad :@ if anyone wanna help reply her or if wanna chat [e-mail]

I guess that you will have to store the data in a file. I don't think that there is another way...
