Why not just Split() the text into lines, and then parse each one?

I am not able to get your requirements.Please explain

[dglienna]

This will split a file, and double-space it:

Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_Load()
  Dim x As Integer, st As String
  Dim ff As Integer
  Dim strBuff As String
  Dim str() As String
  ff = FreeFile
  Open App.Path & "\to do.txt" For Input As #ff
	strBuff = Input(LOF(ff), ff)
  Close #ff
  ' ----------------- two ways to skin a cat --------------
  MsgBox "Lines = " & Len(strBuff) - Len(Replace(strBuff, vbCrLf, "x")) + 1
  ' -------------------------------------------------------
  str() = Split(strBuff, vbCrLf)
  MsgBox "There are " & UBound(str) + 1 & " lines in the file"
  For x = 0 To UBound(str)
	st = st & str(x) & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
  Next x
  MsgBox st
End Sub

<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Basically your instructions seem to have fouled everything up. I did as you
suggested and on boot up the wallpaper screen appears on the desktop....I
minimize it but no icon appears on the taskbar. When I open System Optimizer and
then click on Beatify Windows and then on Wallpaper Changer a window opens
saying that Wallpaper Changer is already running but actually it isn't as the
wallpaper never changes. I have attached a window for you to look at which would
indicate that Wallpaper Changer is active.</DIV>
