[RESOLVED] [2005] How to remove from each line

[SlumberMachine]

Lets say I have a text file that has 30 to 40 lines in it. Each line looks something like this:

2019562.121 * The dude walked the dog 10 times

how would I remove everything before the asterisk in each line?

Thanks for any help

As you loop through file, you can read each line into a string variable and then

strx.Substring(strx.IndexOf("*") + 1)

thanks, as soon as I wrote this post I realized I could just do this:

        
Dim text As String
Dim oread As IO.StreamReader
oread = IO.File.OpenText("blahblahblah.txt")
Dim textcut As String
        While oread.Peek <> -1
            text = oread.ReadLine
            textcut = text.Remove(0, 15)
            txt2.Text = txt2.Text & vbCrLf & textcut
        End While

Yeah, simple solutions are the best.
