Find string in text file and select additional characters

[probe92]

I would like to search a text file for a specific word and then select the next three characters to store into a variable using vbscript. The text file contains the value "Delay=60". The script must search for "Delay=" and store the value "60" in a variable. The reason i need to store the characters after the = sign is because they will always be different.

Any ideas?

Hmm, there are quite a few ways to do this. I'd personally use regular expressions.

What have you tried so far?
