Look into the Open and Input commands in the help files. You will want something similar to,

Open ,filename. For Input As #1
Print #1, <whatever>
Close #1
Thanks and Good Luck!

You can look into using the split function to place the text file into an array. Then you can assign the array elements to variables.

Place the file into a variable.

Line Input #1, strData

Split the variable into a dynamic array.

strArray = Split(strData, vbCrLf)

In this case the data is split using the vbCrLf character. You can use any deliniating character that you need to.

Thanks and Good Luck!
