reading each line and creating a file with that line

[nicetohaveyou]

I have a text file in c:\ as abc.txt which displays empid=e001, name=john, salary=5000 .. ... ..... Now, we need to have a method which wil take empid as parameter and will find the line with the empid and create a text file with that line e.g if we pass e001 to the method it will write empid=e001, name=john, salary=5000 to a new file with the name e001 So all these files created will be stored in a folder c:\repository Could you please help to code that in vb.net. Many thanks

Sound trivial, a little bit of regex, some basic file management code. In fact, string.Split would do it fine. Perhaps if you don't know how to do it, you should advertise for someone to write it for you. Be careful tho, a lot of the people who place low bids on projects nowadays, barely know how to type. They come here and post their projects and hope someone will do it for them.

My reply actually contained all the info someone would need to write this code, but I get a 1 vote for not doing the work for you ? I'm happy to provide my contract rates.

Evened it out for you :) I guess the guy can't read since you did give him the answer to his question all be it in a somewhat obscure form :)

I try to always give answers that a programmer, or someone who has read my article on how to use google, should be able to use to solve their problem. I don't really provide code often anymore.

This is simply knowing how to manipulate strings and files. If you don't know these simple techniques, you really have no business even starting this project. Seriously, if you want to continue to write code, pickup on beginners book on VB.NET and work through it. Without these basic concepts, you have no hope of completing the simplest of projects, like this one.
