Hello,
I've a tab delimiter text file which I'm using split() function, but the split function isn't recognising the tab delimiter.
I'm using the systemfileobject TextStream to read line by line.

However, if I try a string with tab delimiter the split() function recongises the tab.

I'm using VB6

Your help would be much appreciated.


Many Thanks.

PS :
Here is how the an example of the content of the txt file

show us your code so we can see what you are doing.

If this is part of a bigger program please create a small one that ONLY does the file processing with the split function, making sure it still has the error, and then post that code for analysis.
