Hi All
I need help with my application. Im using vb6 and Im trying to load values from text file into list box. I made everything right and the program is working fine but there is one issue which make me headache. When I'm loading the text file line by line into lstbox the program stop on line where is value PeterE . in the listbox appears Peter but the rest not and the lines after as well no showing. I know that the problem is the arrow but I need to see it all in the list box. I searched for solution on the internet but unlucky. I've one lstbox with name lstName on form with name frmEdit and im loading a text file with name file.txt

This is my code which I'm using to load the data:

Private Sub Form_Load()
       
Dim TextLine As String
Dim fn As Integer
Dim SourceFile As String
Dim path As String

path = App.path & "\Text Files\"
        SourceFile = path & "file.txt"
        frmEdit.lstName.Clear
        fn = FreeFile
         Open SourceFile For Input As #fn
           Do While Not EOF(fn)
           Line Input #fn, TextLine
            frmEdit.lstName.AddItem (TextLine)
            Loop
        Close #fn

frmEdit.lstName.ListIndex = 0
        
End Sub

Use binary mode and read whole file at once.

Dim TextLines() As String

' ...

Open SourceFile For Binary Access Read As #fn
    TextLines = Split(Input(LOF(fn), fn), vbNewLine)
    For lngA = 0 To UBound(TextLines)
        frmEdit.lstName.AddItem TextLines(lngA)
    Next lngA
Close #fn

I can't see the arrow character in your post.
