how do i populate a two dimensional array when using the left() and mid() functions to filter the data. In other words: if I have rows of data in a text file like 1001123456654321 and i want do something like left$(textfile,4) and mid(textfile,5,6)what is the syntax for populating such that i wind up with an array that has two colums ,one containing the left() data and one containing the mid() data with rows being until EOF.<br>Thanks..........<br>MET
