hi everyone,
i am trying to read a text file from one point in the file to another. i don't want to read the entire file because i am getting memory exception errors. any help with this is appreciated. i am using vb.net 05. ThankS!

You can use the Seek method of the BaseStream class to position the file pointer for the next read. Use the ReadBlock or ReadLine methods to read a "chunk" of the file.
