Read a from a text file 1

[ranman76]

I need to read a specific line from a text file (I.E. Line 8). How would I go about doing so efficiently? I will need to eventually load the line into a String.

Something like this should work

[tt]

Dim FName As String, FNumb As Integer, TextLine As String, I As Integer

FName = "Your Path To File"
FNumb = FreeFile

Open FName For Input As #FNumb

For I = 1 To 8
If EOF(FNumb) Then Exit For
Line Input #FNumb, TextLine
If EOF(FNumb) Then Exit For
Next I

'I should = 9 if it did not reach eof first and TextLine should contain your string

[/tt]

Good Luck
