opening .txt files and using them in the program

[akoymakoy]

i would like to open a .txt file in my program and store it to a string.

i made a similar code in c++. and would like to know if i could also do it in VB

in c++ i used the .get() function is there a similar function in vb? and if there is i nid help in using it...

i nid to check each character of that text file and compare it if it is a period or not

if ( current character of file.txt == ' . ' ) then

output .txt = output.txt & next line

nevermind about the previous post i found a way how....


my question is how to search a string per character?

mystring = " John/noun is/verb tall/adjective"
i would like to search for "/" per string and get the word after it and store it to a new string
mystring2 = noun verb adjective

Glad to see you resolved that one.

Two methods come to mind. Both will involve loops. The first would be to run through and examine a character at a time, using the Mid( ) function. The second would be to use the Instr( ) function to find the position of each "/" in turn.

The Split( ) function may also be quite useful in this case - try looking it up. In fact, now that I think about it, use of Split may save you a lot of work compared to the aforementioned methods.
