Textfile and Textbox

[Matt-D]

I know this method to open a textfile into a textbox:

Filenum = FreeFile
    Open "c:\File1.txt" For Input As Filenum
    T1_DTBANK.Text = Input(LOF(Filenum), Filenum)
    Close Filenum

My progam loads some paths from five textfiles (each with one line, e.g. "C:\XXXXXX\XXXXXXX.TXT").

Now my question:
Is there a way, that there is only one textfile with all this things?
Is it possile, that I open the textfile,
so the textbox no. 1 has the text of the first line (of the textfile), the textbox no.2 has the text of the second line, and so on.

How do I have to modify the code?
I hope you understant my problem.

Thanks for some help, Matt

If I am to understand you correctly, I think you are after something that uses the LINE INPUT syntax. (I have assumed your Text Box controls are part of a control array)

Dim iFreeFile as integer

Dim iControlArrayInstance as Integer


iFreeFile = FreeFile

iControlArrayInstance = 0


Open "C:\File.txt" For Input As #iFreeFile
    
Do While Not EOF(iFreeFile)

    'Read one whole line at a time
    Line Input #iFreeFile, sMyString

    'Place the text in the relevant TextBox (Control Array)
    txtMyTextBoxControlArray(iArrayInstance) = sMyString
    iArrayInstance = iArrayInstance + 1
Loop
    
Close #iFreeFile

The five lines from your txt file should now be in five different text box controls.
