RE: reading an input file VB6

Greetings,

Your data looks ready made for 'regular expressions' parsing.

See, for starters:

Subject: [Visual Basic] reading an input file VB6

Hi all,
I am new to this group and trying to brush back up on my programming
skills. I haven't written a program since VB3 but now have to get back
into it with some changes to some of my old programs and making some
new. I presently have VB6.

This is probably a real simple question for most of you, but I am
totally stumped of how to proceed. I have a text file that I need to
read with lines of text such as:
a123b900
a1223b122
a6b554
etc.
I need to use the two sets of data after the a and after the b to do
different things. The numeric data can be 1 to 5 characters in length.
In the past, I have only used comma separated text with the sequential
file procedure, so I have been stumped on how to start on this.

Any help would be much appreciated.
-Mike
