How can I read an entire line of text in VisualBasic

[seba18]

I don't know how to read from a file an entire line of text with VB.If I use Input #, it stops to the first "," from the text.

 

[JohnYingling]

Reads a single line from an open sequential file and assigns it to a String variable.

Syntax

Line Input #filenumber, varname

NO, you don't understand...

For example, if i have a text file with this content:

qwerty,asdf

and I use Input #1,s then s="qwerty", but I want to read a whole line of text (s="qwerty,asdf")

Anybody know how can I do that?

 

[Digsy]

Use this code or similar

Line Input #1, s

to achieve what you want to do .

Note this uses Line Input and not simply Input[/]

Line Input #FileNo1, string/variable

#FileNo1 is for an input file(i think!!), so u may not need this.

To find a specific sub string in a bigger string, try:

substring = Mid(biggerString, 110, 6)

hope it helps,

the 110 refers to the specific coulmn you want to start looking for the string.

the 6 means it is 6 characters long.

Line Input is just what JohnYingling's first answer gave you!
