add modify read plain text file properties

JOSII

Does anyone know if it is possible to either add, modify or read the
properties of a plain text (*.txt) file using Visual Basic 2005? I know it's
possible with Office Documents like Word or Excel, but I haven't been able to
find any references to plain text files.

Sure. Use a streamreader and streamwriter and manipulate the string.
