Hi JcRouse,
It is not important how you do it, when it is a file where the lines are
seperated by a vbcrlf or whatever, you can read them line by line using the
streamreader and than use in the routine where you read it the
string.indexof to find if what you are looking for exist.
I hope this helps, when you want more details, please reply?

You can use 'Strings.Left' to check that.
It will be the one after the word "orientatio n" and it will be either "vertical" or "horizontal ". I the want to set a variable to either "v" or "h" so I can apply my code.
If the line starts with "video", you can look for the "(", ")" using
'Strings.InStr' , and then split up the remaining part or look for
"vertical" or "horizontal " using 'Strings.InStr' too.

How about an example based on my first post
Thank you
John
Jcrouse,
I would do as Armin suggested in your other thread. Create a parser
(Serializer) to parse the file format into an object model. Then check the
object model.
Instead of an object model, I would also consider creating an XPath
navigator for your file format, then extract the data using XPath
statements. http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...s/default.aspx
Creating an XPath navigator also enables you to convert the file format into
XML, which may or may not be more manageable (editable) then the current
format.
You might be able to use Regular Expressions to help create a parser, or at
least to extract a specific line of the description.
A tutorial & reference on using regular expressions: http://www.regular-expressions.info/
The MSDN's documentation on regular expressions: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...geElements.asp
Hope this helps
