Reading Delimited files [RESOLVED]

-----Original Message-----
I need to read in a TAB delimited file, but am not findingan easy way to do this. Do I need to write my own processto do this, or is something already available for this? Iam currently using a stream reader to read in one
character at a time, checking to see if it is a control
character (TAB, CR or LF) and setting variables that way.Seems like a slow way of doing things...
.


Actually, while I was waiting for a reply I had a
realization that I could subclass streamreader and add a
delimited line reader to the new class that would return
an array of strings using the string.split(delimiter)
function. Works great.
