text file content into vb 6.0 variable

how to get the contents of a text file into a variable in vb 6.0?
any help?

You ned to Open the file for reading and store its contents into the variable :

Something like ;

Code:

---

Dim FileName1 As String 'holds first file path

Dim FileH1 As Integer 'file handle 1

Dim strInOut As String 'holds input

FileName1 = "E:\Test.txt" 'path to 1st file

Open FileName1 For Binary Access Read As #FileH1 'open file
'read the info line by line
 strInOut = Space$(LOF(1))
  Get #FileH1, , strInOut

Close #FileH1 'close the handles

---

You could also open it for input and use the Input # method to read the entire file into a variable.

Code:

---

Set ftxt = fs.CreateTextFile("D:\xxx\yy.txt", True)
