RE: [Talk] Processing ext. txt file

Title: Message

I do the same thing as Ross, the only difference is that I've gotten into the habit of actually assigning the information that I read in to Screen Elements.   This has a couple of benefits.            1.  It makes it easier to debug your script.         2.  It also makes the memory variables easier to keep track of since VB does the auto complete thing.  ie  bss6.  will show all the variables.         3.  And as an extra special bonus,  It give the end users something to look at while the script is running.     :  )   You might want to try a couple "stable"s  or "pause"s where you've got the "waits" to improve the script's performance.  "Wait"s can cause your problems if your system's performance fluctuate.       Paul -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ross Stolle Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 12:54 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [Talk] Processing ext. txt file Scott,             Here is how I do it…   Open "c:\yourfile.txt" For Input As #1 Counter = 1   Dim NEWREC Dim Procedure Dim RVUcost   Connect "", stMeditech Do Until EOF(1)     Line Input #1, NEWREC         Procedure = Mid(NEWREC, 1, 10) ‘starting at column 1 for 10 characters         Procedure = Trim(Procedure)         RVUcost = Mid(NEWREC, 11, 10)  ‘starting at the 11th column for 10 characters         RVUcost = Trim(RVUcost)               Your code here…             .             .             .             .
