Each line is 100 characters long. Each line contains several fields, but they are not comma nor tab nor space delimited. So the following fields: Name, Birthdate, country and town become inside my txt file as: "000000mike19801231000Italy0000Romeâ Fields have fixed lenght so name field is 10 characters long, birthdate is 8 long, country is 8 and so on. So i know where each fields begins and how long it is. Now i wish to split the fields into a delimited file. But encountered a problem. If i read the file line by line with Textinputstream.Open(f) and t.readline, it correctly shows me in the listbox the file content line by line as it is. But If i read each line trying to split the fields into the listbox cells using mid(source, start, lenght) function, it doesn't work correctly and the lines content appear scrambled: First line does not appear at all, and the following lines appear with the fields scrambled, some lines are missed and so on. Any help? Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Page 1 of 1 [ 1 post ]
