    Talking How to read a delimetered line of strings and ints and extract them for processing

    Hi, I have the following text file (ExamMarks.txt)

    John, 85, 95, 90
    Micheal, 60, 75, 75

    I want to extract a line and take the Name and separately and the ints separately. Then I want to print the name and the average of the numbers like this in a label:

    John's average is 90
    Micheal's average is 70

    So far I can only display what is in the text file in a label (see below):

    |Dim FILE_NAME As String = "C:\ExamMarks.txt"
    | Dim TextLine As String
    |
    | If System.IO.File.Exists(FILE_NAME) = True Then
    |
    | Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(FILE_NAME)
    |
    | Do While objReader.Peek() <> -1
    | TextLine = TextLine & objReader.ReadLine & vbNewLine
    |
    | Loop
    |
    | lblResults.Text = TextLine
    |
    | Else
    |
    | MsgBox("File Does Not Exist")
    |
    | End If

    Any help is appreciated.

    Re: How to read a delimetered line of strings and ints and extract them for processin

    You would use .Split() to put the elements of the string into a string array using the comma as the delimiter.

    btw.. when looking for help with VB.Net you should..
    1: Post in the VB.Net area of the forum
    2: Tell us what version you are using.

    This area is for questions regaurding VB6
    Always use [code][/code] tags when posting code.
