read characters in a text file using vb

Hello,

Please try the stream reader class.

Dim sr as IO.Streamreader = IO.File.Opentext("JohnDoefile.txt")

then read the line

line 1 = sr.readline

Hope this helps.

I think he need get each character why not try this :

open "file" for binary access read as #1
get #1,,var
close #1

var contains first char ;

Inner loop will get the rest while not the file is acceed and not closed yet .
