Hello

How do we sort out a tab delimited file into an array ?

Say a user opies the contents of the tab delimited file into memory
(clipboard)

I want my app to put it into an array and carry out some operation.

Is there any code sample I could look at ?

Thanks

You could do this operation yourself, looking for commas in the string
while you parse through it. However, I think you should probably use the
text driver for OleDb, using the classes in the System.Data.OleDb namespace
to access the data.

Hope this helps.
