reading from text file

[unixisgood]

Hi all,
I can read some line which i want but i have problem with date\time format. While reading it can not get date\time properly.

Text file i read from looks like below;

Date/Time Message
-------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------
30.01.2007 14:35:16 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


But when i read data and add to listbox or put into another file it looks like,

Date/Time Message
-------------------- ---------------------------------------------
30,01
14 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

My command is

Print #4, Left(LTrim(readline), 70)
ListBox3.AddItem Left(LTrim(readline), 70)

Any idea?

You must be doing something else in your code, because if I do this:

Dim readline As String

readline = "30.01.2007 14:35:16      xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

Debug.Print Left(LTrim(readline), 70)

It works fine.

Have fun.

If you're looping through a text file and you read in the line:
"30.01.2007 14:35:16 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
with the Input statement, the text will be formatted as:

30.01
14
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If this is what you are seeing then you need to use the Line Input statement.
