NEWBIE - Loop Through each WORD in a text file

[Dave]

Greetings,

How can I loop through each word in a text file? Something like:

For Each Word in mytextfile.txt
Do Something
Next

But, I'm not sure how to do this. Any help out there?

//Not Tested
Dim Input as String
dim SplitInput() as string
do while mytextfile.peek() <> -1
Input = mytextfile.readline
SplitInput = String.Split(" "c) 'Splits on "space"
For each Input in SplitInput
debug.writeline(Input)
Next
loop

That's the general idea. There are lots of ways to read in the file This
one just reads in one line at a time. You could read in char by char and
look for the space too. If you need to know how to open/read the file look
at the System.IO.TextReader class.

How are the words separated? By a space?

Take a look at the System.IO classes. There are several classes such as the
TextReader classes which can be used to read a line of text. Once you have
a line of text, you could use te split method to parse the string based on
the space.

Reading a text file line-by-line or blockwise with a progress indicator

When reading the lines, you'll have to split them up into the words. To do
this, you can use appropriate functions ('Split', 'Mid', ...) provided in
'Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings.*'.
