[RESOLVED] I need help reading a data file. (Visual Basic 6.0)

[Tontow]

I'm having trouble reading a file. The file is a core file from Microsoft's now debunked but open source game Allegiance that was written in C/C++; I don't know C/C++. (On a side note: A few users kept the game alive and running, see http://www.freeallegiance.org/forums/index.php?act=home )

I have tried:

Dim strText As String
    Dim intFile   As Integer
 
    intFile = FreeFile()
 
    Open App.Path + "\dn_000450.igc" For Input As #intFile
        MsgBox (LOF(intFile))
        MsgBox (EOF(intFile))
        strText = Input$(LOF(intFile), intFile)
    Close #intFile

But it gives an error.

I have also tried:

Dim sfile As String
sfile = App.Path + "\dn_000450.igc"
Dim myArray() As String
ReDim myArray(0)
Open sfile For Input As #1
Do Until EOF(1)
   Input #1, myArray(UBound(myArray))
   ReDim Preserve myArray(UBound(myArray) + 1)
Loop
ReDim Preserve myArray(UBound(myArray) - 1)
Close #1
'Check to see if everything was read
For i = 0 To UBound(myArray())
txt1.Text = txt1.Text & myArray(i)
Next i

But it only appeared to read part of the file.

How do I read the file and extract usable data from it??


Additional information:

Currently I'm reading the .CSV file output from a program called CoreDump that was written in Python, but the current version is buggy and doesn’t output everything. Currently, I don't know any Python and would like to deal with just the one core file instead of the several CSV files that CoreDump outputs.

If anyone wants me to, I will post the Python source code to CoreDump.
