Read a textfile 1

[shangrilla]

I get a text file without any line breaks.
It looks something like this:

1234567890~ABCDEFGH~0987654321~HHGFEDCBA~

So ~ means a new line.

I am using the streamreader.readline() method and it works fine when the file is like:
1234567890~
ABCDEFGH~
0987654321~
HHGFEDCBA~

How Can I read 1234567890~ABCDEFGH~0987654321~HHGFEDCBA~

Thanks in advance?

You could use the StreamReader.ReadToEnd method which will return all of the files contents to a string. Then use the String.Split function on this string and pass in the ~ as separator. This function will return each 1234567890 etc. into an array of strings.

Hope this helps!

store the string in a variable and then use Split function. something like this

Dim strLine As String
Dim arrData() As String

strLine = strStreamReader.ReadLine()
arrData = Split(strLine, "~&quot

then u can loop through arrData to get single line of data.
