| Hello,I'm creating a sort of game where you have to guess a word from a file.In the file are several words and hints and I use the function Random() to generate a random number.I try to read the line from the file that is equal to that generated number.So when the system generates 15 I want to read the 15th line from the file.But I can't seem to find a way to do so.With te readLine() function I can only read the first line of the file, and with the readToEnd() function I read the whole file, which is not necessary.Can someone please explain to me how I can just read the line that I want.Thanks in advanceWouter |

each time you call ReadLine(), it reads the next line. so to read the 15th line you could just call ReadLine() 15 times and keep the result of the 15th call.

Or, read the entire file to a string in memory, split the string for vbCrLf and pick the 15th element in the array.
