Re: File I/O Tutorial

Hi all, in the example where the entire file is read into the arrary,
Dim strArray() As String
Open "c:\autoexec.bat" For Input As #1
strArray = Split(Input(LOF(1), 1), vbCrLf)
Close #1

What if I wanted to use only a portion of the contents from the array, how would I set the upper, and lower bounds based on certain text in the array, or file? File is listed below.

Let's say I only wanted to read the text between, "SHOULDER PUNCH DEFAULTS" and " DURA PUNCH DEFAULTS", how would I do it?

Please do not post questions to tutorials or CodeBank threads etc, unless your question is just about what the thread starter posted - I have moved your post (which quotes the entire relevant code) to its own thread in our VB6 forum.
