When it is a binary file, there is no concept of "line by line". Do you want to read a text file?

Btw, you should probably be using VB.Net instead of VB6 now.

If you are reading a text file, don't read it as a binary file, read it as a text file.

I got this from a post found www.dreamincode.net forums:

Read this, it'll give you a lot of information on reading text files (and you'll learn about 'Line Input' which takes entire lines and ignores commas):

Here's a tutorial on strings and their handy functions (including the Len() function which you'll wanna use to get the length of the lines):

If you still can't figure it out, post again but this time with your code and also explaining any errors you're encountering.
