Parsing A Text Doc

[steve229922]

I'm having alittle trouble getting started. I want to write some code that will go through each line of a text doc and parse out values based on the criteria I program. The tricky part is that the text file is basically a log file so there is no standard format to it.

I want to go line by line and pull out pieces of info. Does anyone have any coding ideas on how to 'scan' a text doc from top to bottom, allowing for pieces of info to be parsed and put into a new table?


Thanks!

Just reading the file line by line would be a good start. Then from there you can use string functions to slide a window through the text to find what you're looking for.
