Reading from a text file.

[Jes|er]

How would I go about reading data from a text file and
then outputing to the screen? Actually what I need is
to know how to make a call(?) to a certain line in a
text file, and then output that info to a console window..

I just know that you have to do it with System.IO.StreamReader
I'm new to .NET (my second day ) so dont expect me to write the code, hehe
something like this:
Dim strReader as StreamReader = File.OpenText("myfile.txt")
and read a line with strReader.ReadLine()

actually here's the code that somehow looks like the code in my book it works just fine

Imports System.IO
 
Module Module1
 
    Sub Main()
        Try
            Dim strReader As StreamReader = File.OpenText("c:\test.txt")
            Dim strLine As String
 
            Do
                strLine = strReader.ReadLine()
                Console.WriteLine(strLine)
            Loop While Nothing <> strLine
 
        Catch e As FileNotFoundException
            Console.WriteLine(e.Message)
        End Try
 
 
        ' I dunno how to stop the console from closing, so I do this
        Console.ReadLine()
    End Sub
End Module
