Parsing Text

I have a standard text doc where I need to read the first several lines of
the document...by both row and word. There are so many new tools available
in Vb.net...i'm not sure of the best approach. For example...the documents
are usually details about company info. The first line is usually the
company name, second and third lines address, then phone etc. When loading
the doc...it's a big time saver to auto load this info. I used to use the
old Awk control to do this...but I'm not sure what's the best approach in
vb.net 2005

Thanks

Arnie,

Your problem is in my opinion exactly where Regex is made for.

RegexLib

Expresso

I hope this helps a little bit?
