Read and display specific data from text file into listbox using VB 6

Mas Juliza Alias

Hi,

I am building a program on Information System for Reservoir Operation for my Masters research. Now I have a text file which is an output file from a processing software (Terramodel) that lists out Elevation Range and Volume in columns and rows. The text file looks like this;

-------------------------------------------------
-software's distributor address-
-project description-

Depth range Volume
(m) (m3)
0.000 > 0.001 10.0
0.001 > 0.002 12.0
. .
. .
. .

cummulative volume
(m3)
500
-------------------------------------------------

now i've written the code to display the data in listbox using AddItem, but the whole lines are displayed in one single line in the listbox. I want to display only the Depth Range and Volume data, starting from '0.000 > 0.001'. So, how to skip reading the file header (software's distributor address & project description) and the data column's header (Depth range (m) & Volume (m3))?

Thank You for your time.

the calculated Volume at the first 3 rows are correct, but the following rows are incorrect. they appear as 156.1, 233.5, and 325.2 which they should be 157.0, 234.5, and 326.7 respectively. i went through your codes finding the calculation formula but i don't know how to edit those. sorry for my limited knowledge. can you help me on this?

thank you for your time...

I have closed this thread to further posting. Once you have received an answer to your first question you should choose the post you feel was most helpful as "Best Answer". Then ask your next question in a new thread.

Having multiple questions in a thread is too confusing both to experts and guests looking for answers to their own questions.
