    Resolved [RESOLVED]Substring problem

    Hey guys! Whats wrong with this code? I cant find out
    Code:
    Dim streamer As System.IO.StreamReader
    streamer = My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFileReader("kerdes.txt")
    Dim temp As String = streamer.ReadLine()
    temp = temp.Replace(" ", "")
    valasz(i, j) = temp
    It gives me the "Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." at the line temp = temp.Replace...

    Yeah, that seems a bit surprising. When the exception happens, highlight temp and press Ctrl+F9. If that shows Nothing, then temp is Nothing, which seems like the only candidate, in this case. You can't call a method of Nothing.

    Of course, that would just be the beginning of the puzzle, because you set temp to streamer.ReadLine() in the previous line, so that would have to be returning Nothing, which a StreamReader will do if the end of the file is reached. I would guess that you'd be surprised to find that the end of the file was reached the first time you tried to read a line. Could the file be empty?
    My usual boring signature: Nothing

    No, its not. I've tried this :
    Code:
    Dim temp As String = streamer.ReadLine()
                    MsgBox(temp)
                    temp = temp.Replace(" ", "")
    and it shows me the right string in the msgbox. So no, its not Nothing. :/

    I'm sorry, after 1 hour I found the mistake. I ran it step by step, and it ran out of bounds the for cycle. Thanks anyway!
