Hi, I am very new to visual basic and struggling a bit with the concepts. The reason i started was to be able to edit long text strings and extract parts of them. I want to:
1. open a large text file made up of strings
2. extract the bits i want and look at them, in columns
3. save the bits i want in a different file

I have succeeded in steps 1 & 2, but the problem i then have is saving what i am looking at. I am editing the strings line by line using a loop function and displaying the parts i want in a list box. can anyone tell me how i can save what i see in the list box as a text file? or another method i could use? If i open the data in a text box, each line overwrites the previous one

I would be most grateful for any help,

Gus
