GetLineInfo

[|2eM!x]

I just made a function that will read between specific lines for you, say you want to only get the lines 20-40 in your text file, you use this. If you only want one line, just use the same number for upper and lower

Option Explicit
    Dim str2buff As String
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
Call GetLineInfo("C:\Documents and Settings\Jason\Desktop\response.txt", 20, 40)
               MsgBox str2buff
End Sub
 
Public Function GetLineInfo(txtfile As String, lowerline As String, upperline As String) As String
    Dim ff As Integer
    Dim strbuff As String
    Dim LineCount As Long
    Dim yay As String
    LineCount = 0
        ff = FreeFile
        lowerline = lowerline - 1: upperline = upperline - 1
             Open txtfile For Input As #ff
               Do Until EOF(ff)
                LineCount = LineCount + 1
                Line Input #ff, yay
                yay = vbNullString
                    If LineCount >= lowerline And LineCount <= upperline Then
                 Line Input #ff, strbuff
                    str2buff = str2buff & vbNewLine & strbuff
                    ElseIf LineCount > upperline Then
                        Exit Function
                    End If
               Loop
End Function
