[RESOLVED] another fixed width textfile

[GUARO]

Hi gurus

I hope someone can help me on this

thanks to this forum, I found away to read a fixed position text file, but I encounter a problem, I know which field I want to go and check, how can I jump directly to the field I need. Readfields does not helps.

for instance I need to check on field 3 and 7 of the row before the next row is read.

this is what I have so far

readtext.TextFieldType = FileIO.FieldType.FixedWidth
            readtext.SetFieldWidths(5, 6, 10, 25, 12, 8, 8)
            Dim currentRow As String()
            
            While Not readtext.EndOfData
                
                    currentRow = readtext.ReadFields()

                    Dim currentField As String
                    For Each currentField In currentRow
                        MsgBox(currentField)
                    Next

is this my best approach to read a fixed position text file?

thanks gurus
