Start reading from 30 line

[Jarod]

Hey
I don't know how to start reading a text file from a 30 line ? I got an idea :
For i=1 to 30
streamReader.readline()
Next

but if it would be 2000 line it won't be a robust code... Is there any
better way ?

Use while loop.

Is each line in the file the same length? If so, you could use the seek
method of the stream. Just calculate the position to seek to using the
following formula:

iSeekPos = (iLineNo - 1) * iLineLength

If the lines in the file are not all the same length, then you will have to
use a loop.
