Input - Please help me - its urgend

[Kreuzer Michael]

Hi,

I wrote a Prog. that read me 10 lines from a file in ( for n = 1 to 10 ... )
Is there any way to read the 11th to 20th line in? ( for n = 10 to 20 dont
work )
He should leave the first 10 lines alone, and only read the 11th to the 20th
file...

thanks.

The code would be n = 11 to 20 and not n = 10 to 20. But could you post the code that you are using? Maybe it is another problem.

Read the 10 first lines into a dumb variable, then the lines you really want to read:

-----
For i = 1 to 10
Line Input #1, a$
Next

For i = 11 to 20
Line Input #1, a$
Do Your Stuff
Next
Close
-----

Or, if you want to read the rest of the file:

-----
While Not EOF(1)
Line Input #1, a$
Do Your Stuff
Next
Close
-----

Juan Carlos' code:

While Not EOF(1) 
    Line Input #1, a$ 
    Do Your Stuff 
Next 
Close

Should be:

While Not EOF(1) 
    Line Input #1, a$ 
    Do Your Stuff 
Wend 
Close

All the best.
