How to read 1st Variable line by line from a .txt file

1st question. Is it easier if I use a database I assume?

Say for example I have a file named test.txt which looks like this

"Test1"
"Tst2"
"tt3"

And I do a search for "Tst2" how would I go through file to find that?

Open test.txt for input #1
white not EOF(1)

????

I am totally lost here. And are there any thorough tutorials online for visual basic 6 or a GOOD quality book that would touch on things like this an DBGrid's? The only one I have is too basic.

Thanks in advance and I apologize for the question but I can't find a resolution anywhere.

Hi,

We have 2 ways to read the text file , we can read line by line or ,

we can read whole txt file at time, after that we can search for the search string using InStr function
