Open Text File

[Lumpierbritches]

Thank you in advance for any and all assistance. Is there a way to open a
specific text file in Visual Basic.NET? If so, what is the code?

If I correctly understood your question, this piece of code will read line
by line from a text file and store into a string variable. You can then do
what ever you want with the returns.

Imports System.IO

Private Sub ReadRecord()
Dim filetoread As String

filetoread = "c:\MytextFile.txt"

Dim filestream As StreamReader

filestream = File.OpenText(filetoread)

Dim readcontents As String

Do Until filestream.Peek = -1

readcontents = filestream.ReadLine()

Loop
filestream.Close()
End Sub

Michael,

Just a search for streamreader on MSDN gives you a bunch of information.

This is the first found

I hope this helps?
