Opeing file

[progeix]

hey, i need a way to open a text file line by line

HEY THERE
WHATS UP
NO WAY
really?



and it reads the FIRST LINE, and puts it into text1.text
then it goes to the next, and puts its in text1.TAG
ect..

so i can put the first line in a place, second in a place, third, fourth, ECT..

so like:

HEY THERE-> text1.text
WHATS UP->text1.tag
NO WAY->text2.tag
really?->command.caption

like as an example

Well, anyone know?

Use Line Input

Dim iCount As Integer

Open "MyFile.txt" For Input As #1
    Do While Not EOF(1)
        Line Input #1, Tmp
        'Increment the line count
        iCount = iCount + 1
        'If it's Line2 then set Command1's caption
        If iCount = 2 Then Command1.Caption = Tmp
        'If it's Line4 then set Text1's text
        If iCount = 4 Then Text1 = Tmp
    Loop
Close #1

Or try to load all lines into an array and refer to them later:

Option Explicit

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim FF As Integer: FF = FreeFile
    Dim MyArray() As String
    Dim inCount As Integer: inCount = 1
    
    Open "C:\windows\desktop\test.txt" For Input As #FF
    Do While Not EOF(FF)
        ReDim Preserve MyArray(inCount)
        Line Input #FF, MyArray(inCount)
        inCount = inCount + 1
    Loop
    Close #FF
    
    '//First Line is in MyArray(1)
End Sub
