Help!!! Text file...

[svs16]

Hello!

I have a text-file with 3 records:
test1;xxx;abc
test2;lalala;efg
test3.blah;xyz

so, I whant search this text file for like that start from "test2" and set value of strTest to string I have found in a file. Can somebody help me with this?

Thank all!

Regards,
Victor

assuming your including the second line in the search...

dim intX as integer
dim f as integer
f = freefile
open "C:\MyFile.txt" for input as #f
line input #f, strTest 'this overlooks the first line in the file

do while not EOF(f)
line input #f, strTest
if instr(strTest, SearchStr) >  0 then Exit Do
loop
Close #f

this should leave strTest with the entire line that was found to contain your string, is this what you wanted?
