Creating lines of a text file into an array?

[ThomasJohnsen]

Yes.
But I would like to ask... in the example shown in this reference:

The .Count refers to the actual size of the List items. But why is the Capacity up to 8 (where the actual size of the List in that example is 5 only)?

The capacity will be doubled when it is exceeded. Thus a list with 167 elements will have capacity of 256 elements - a list with 319 elements will have capacity of 512 elements. This is completely deliberate to ensure that insertions into the list will be roughly O(1).
