hey

when u open a text file to read u use lineinput(*Varibal*).

when i use a post tested loop such as

do

username=lineinput(filenum)
password=lineinput(filenum)

loop until EOF or lineinput(filenum)=""

that then will read 3 lines each time it loops and by that then some lines will be skipped. the reason i have that lineinput(filenum)="" is because some times in textfiles u get extra unwanted lines which get read. what i am asking is how can u make it so that it still reads the 2 lines but when it comes to check the line it doesn't proceed to the next line, so that when it loops the data will be read properly.

so can anyone help me
