read 2 bytes out of 4 bytes from a text file

[southbayfae]

I created a text file contains 4 bytes of data

AABBCCDD

I just want to read the first 2 bytes (AABB) to execute it with my program.

Then I'll need to read the last 2 bytes (CCDD) for another computer routines

Pls. help

You can either read 2 bytes at a time from the file or you can read the entire line and then use the left and right functions to get just the characters you want.

can someone show me the code to read each line?

for example:

I've 2 lines of string in a text file..

AABBCC
DDEEFF

How do I read each line separately?

I tried to use ReadLine command, but it can only read the first line. Then how do I read the second line at a lter time?

Pls. help

To read the second line, you call ReadLine again.
