extracting data from a txt file

[needvbhelp]

i have a txt file that contains an id and password (divided by a tab). i can retrieve the txt file with streamreader, but now i need to extract the id and password separately. i need to make it so that it checks what the user inputs mskedit box equals the id number, and the text box input equals the password.

This is the same as a few posts. You should search before asking:

'input file here..
 
Dim data As String = FileStream.ReadLine() 'input the line
Dim parts() As String = data.Split(Char.Parse(ControlChars.Tab))
 
If username = parts(0) Then
    'username matches
End If
 
If password = parts(1) Then
    'password matches
End If
 
'If (username = parts(0)) And (password = parts(1)) Then
    'do your stuff
'End If
