Take a look at VB's Input function:

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 .

Amahdy's response is right.
One should add a declaration:

dim var as byte

to work well.

Oops' this is actually the "VB Classic" forum, which you are correct, is not the .Net forum.
FreeVBCode.com is the Sample Code Library
