Hi Guys,

First (and probably not the last) post.

My Problem

I would like to search an array for a certain text (this has been read in from a text file (42 lines) and split to an array of 11 splits successfully). I see all the data in the array with a msgbox or written to a textbox. So I know the info is in the array.

When the text (will be from a textbox eventually, but for now is a fixed string) is found, (this is (0)), I would like to put the other parts (2), (3) etc.....into strings of their own. Obviously when not found, the search should move to the next line.

The search text will always be in (0) of each line.

My problem is, that I can't get a search loop working and moving to the next line until the text is found, it sticks on the first line, even if wrong (which it is!).

Of course when the text is found, I can write (2), (3) etc to variables and exit the search.

I know this has probably just a simple solution, but I've only been learning vb for a week now and my head is spinning at this problem, I just can't get the syntax and order right.

Suggestions ?

TIA
