Trouble with text File

[Vassileios]

Hi Everybody,

I need your help. I have a text file which i include in the message. As you can see this is a log file, now the problem is that i want to seperate each test that start with @Start......@ ..... and ends with @End.....@ and after that i want to put each value on differents arrays.

example.

Start State Reaction End State Time Stamp
1 1 3 0,030
3 3 5 0,060

etc.

I have write a code looks like this (this is a sample of the code):

Public Sub Simple_Reaction_Time_Shape()
Dim ac As Single
Dim bc, dc As Single
Dim i As Integer
Open App.Path & "\" & "SimpleReactionTimeShapeTemp.ini" For Output As #2
    Do While Not EOF(1) And Left(Fline, 26) <> "@Simple_Reaction_Time_End@"
        bc = ac
        
        Line Input #1, Fline
        If Left(Fline, 13) = "Start State: " Then
            Start_State = Val(Right(Fline, Len(Fline) - 13))
        Line Input #1, Fline
            Event_State = Val(Right(Fline, Len(Fline) - 10))
        Line Input #1, Fline
            End_State = Val(Right(Fline, Len(Fline) - 11))
        Line Input #1, Fline
            ac = Val(Comma2Dot(Right(Fline, Len(Fline) - 11)))
        
    End If
    
  '      Add ac, r, es, ss   Format(A(9), "#0.###")
        dc = ac - bc
        dc = Format(dc, "#0.###")
        i = i + 1
        Debug.Print i, Cand_Number, Left_Hand, Right_Hand, Date_Exam, Test_Name, Start_State, Event_State, End_State, ac, dc
        
        Print #2, i & "." & Cand_Number & "." & Left_Hand & "." & Right_Hand & "." & Date_Exam & "." & Test_Name _
        & "." & Start_State & "." & Event_State & "." & End_State & "." & ac & "." & dc
    Loop
Close #2
End Sub

but i have a lot of problem because each test is difference.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Give me an example of the string.

[Vassileios]

This is the code:

Private Sub cal_but_Click()

Dim sText, pos1, pos2
Dim I
Dim CompareString1, CompareString2 As String
Dim Number As Long

FFile = FreeFile

If List1.ListIndex <> -1 Then
    Text38.Text = List1
   
   
    Open Dir1.Path & "\" & List1.Text & ".txt" For Input As #FFile

         sText = Input(LOF(1), #FFile)
    Close #FFile

and this is the stiring:

@Simple Reaction Time@
0,02
Start State: 1
Reaction: 0
End State: 1
Time Stamp:0,017
Start State: 1
Reaction: 1
End State: 3
Time Stamp:50,892
.
.
@Simple_Reaction_Time_End@
@Simple Reaction TIME Sound@
Start State: 1
Reaction: 0
End State: 1
Time Stamp:0,017
Start State: 1
Reaction: 1
End State: 3
Time Stamp:50,892
.
.
.
@Simple_Reaction_Sound_End@
@Reaction_Time_Position_Start@
Start State: 1
Reaction: 0
End State: 1
Time Stamp:0,017
Start State: 1
Reaction: 1
End State: 3
Time Stamp:50,892
.
.
@Reaction_Time_Position_End@

etc.

i need to take the data from the string

Thanx

When you said string, I thought of a single line of text.

What do you need to take from the string?

Once you have it, what do you need to do with it?

[Vassileios]

i need to take the information from the string between the marks @Start...@ and @End....@

and then add it to an array.
