Hi all.

New kid on the block here.

Background: I have a legacy application written in VB 3.0(at least that's what the documentation claims). It takes a text file, hashes it and then displays it to the screen in a form format.

The text file: fixed width, two to three characters in all lines(on RIGHT column) are used as position reference for specific text extraction. The file contains multiple "records", with seperate start and stop markers. The entire file has a start and stop marker.

Problem: Upgrade to a newer version of VB, or scrap the whole thing a rewrite it in something else like C/C++ or Java?

Thanks to all!
John
