Read strings from txt

[moperke]

I have a txt file like this:

1,question,answer
2,question,answer
...

If I need question 4 (for example) and I want the question in lblQuestion and the answer in lblAnswer, how do I need to do this? I think i need to use line input but I don't know how.

Can somebody help me please?

Dim iCount As Integer

Open "MyFile.txt" For Input As #1
Do While Not EOF(1)
    'Keep track of the line number
    iCount = iCount + 1
    Line Input #1, tmp
    
    'If the line is 4 then...
    If iCount = 4 Then
        'Get the qestion and answer
        tmp = Split(tmp, ",")
        'Display them in a Label
        lblQuestion = tmp(1)
        lblAnswer = tmp(2)
    End If
Loop
Close #1

The obvious answer would be to use a database, but if you must use comma delimitted text then you should probably use a datatype declared as an array and write an I/O Sub:
In Declarations

Public Type MyData
Num as Integer
Question as String
Answer as String
End Type

In DataRetrival Routine
Dim Dat() as MyData
Determine Number of records
ReDim Dat(Number of Records + 1)


Open.....'Open Your Txt File
For intX1 = 1 to NumberOfRecords + 1
Read Data Record.....'Depending on data file type and format
Dat(intX).Num=Num
Dat(intX).Question=Question
Dat(intX).Answer=Answer
Next IntX

Use Dat(0) For Handling The record that you are editing....

This is a lot of trouble to avoid using a database.
