hi everyone,

cause I am new in VB6 can someone help me on how to open and read a txt file from VB6?


Thank you so much

if you are new to vb6, I suggest you to start from here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...fileaccess.asp

it explains how to open, read and write files using the vb 'native' file access, with sections ready to cut and paste. From there you can browse around and see all the file I/O section

Good luck,
Marco

thank you for your early reply marco,

I still don't figure it out how it should be.
I have tried several ways found on the internet but with no result.
The basic functionality is to be able to open a .txt file saved on my local disk and then to parse the contents of it.
If anyone know on how to make it with coding I will appreciate it!

Thank you in advance!

can you post the code you wrote so far?
Marco
