how can we find the spacific text in the text file?

you could read through each line and check the text on the fly:

Dim theStreamReader as new System.IO.StreamReader("filename.txt")

while theStreamReader.Peak() > -1

dim theCurrentLine as string = theStreamReader.ReadLine()

'current line in file is stored in the variable above, now do whatever checking it is you would like to

end while

of course performance will decrease if you have a big file, since you are iterating through each line.

to get specific text, you could use Regex (regular expression) to do a pattern matching technique which is great.

You could also use another nasty way, using string parsing etc... so if I had the text:

ABC12345

and wanted to get everything after ABC, and I know that I have ABC in the text:

Dim theString as string = "ABC12345"

Dim theTextIWant as string = theString.SubString(theString.IndexOf("ABC"))

would get me everything after "ABC"

does this help?
