NEW QUESTION:
i want to have 1 text file, and that text file will have like:
amy
bob
joe
suzie

and i want each line to be put into a variable. like we did before, but not JUST for the first line.

but... because i won't know in advance how many lines there will be (long story)... i need VB to continue puttin lines into variables until it gets to the end. OR it just counts how many lines their are or something.

OLD question:
i need to read the first line of a text file, and then IF that line is different from the first line of another text file, then a message box will appear.
and like i used the comparing code from here:
My File Compare Code
and that worked. so i guess i just need to know how to ONLY read the first line.
