Line Input

Line Input gets a line in a text file. Is there something like that against string buffer. Example, Kedaman showed me how to get an entire text file into a string. I want to know if there is a way to go through each carriage return or do I have to program a function that is similar to Line Input.

What do you mean by going through each carriage return? In fact Line Input gets a line at a time and each line ends in a carriage return in the file, or, the carriage return is the separator between lines in a file.

That is what I want to do. Something similar to Line Input, but for a buffer string that has used the GET method.

Sure!
If you have VB6:
Use Split to add each line to an array.

You have VB5? Here's the code for a split function (dunno who wrote it, got the code from kedaman)

Code:

---

Public Function Split(ByVal sIn As String, Optional sDelim As String, Optional nLimit As Long = -1, Optional bCompare As VbCompareMethod = vbBinaryCompare) As Variant
    Dim sRead As String, sOut() As String, nC As Integer
    If sDelim = "" Then
        Split = sIn
    End If
    sRead = ReadUntil(sIn, sDelim, bCompare)
    Do
        ReDim Preserve sOut(nC)
        sOut(nC) = sRead
        nC = nC + 1
        If nLimit <> -1 And nC >= nLimit Then Exit Do
        sRead = ReadUntil(sIn, sDelim)
    Loop While sRead <> ""
    ReDim Preserve sOut(nC)
    sOut(nC) = sIn
    Split = sOut
End Function

Hey don't use that one, it's the slower one, Iain made a much faster one, but, if you are using Vb6 then use the split function implemented there, it's even faster :)

Code:

---

Private Sub Mysplit(Source, searchs As String, ByRef Arr() As String)
    Dim pos As Long, pos2 As Long, x As Long
    pos = 0
    If Right(Source, Len(searchs)) = searchs Then
        Source = Mid$(Source, 1, Len(Source) - Len(searchs))
    End If
    Do
        pos = InStr(pos + 1, Source, searchs, vbTextCompare)
        If pos = 0 Then Exit Do
        ReDim Preserve Arr(x)
        Arr(x) = Mid(Source, pos + 1, pos + Len(searchs) - 2)
        x = x + 1
    Loop
End Sub
