Reading Files

INPUT - Function - Reads a number of characters from a file.
INPUT - Statement - Reads a line as a series of variables with each variable seperated by a comma.
LINE INPUT - Reads a line as a series of variables with each variable seperated by a carriage return and line feed.
GET - Read data from a text file into a record.

The most way to access a file is to assign it a unique file number.

You can read from a text file direct into an array

Function ExtractPath(sFullPath As String) As String 
SpecLen = Len(Spec) 
For I = SpecLen To 1 Step -1 
   If Mid(sFullPath,I,1) = "\" Then 
      ExtractPath = Left(sFullPath,I - 1) 
      Exit Function 
   End If 
Next i 
ExtractPath = "" 
End Function 

Alternatively you can use the InStrRev function.

Function ExtractPath(sFullPath As String) As String 
   ExtractPath = Left(sFullPath, InstrRev(sFullPath,"\") ) 
End Function
