Thank you, I kind of thought that was the problem...but how do i fix that? I'm very new at vb.net. Thanks. Jesi

My input text from a .txt file is this is the first line this is the second line this is the third line I need to capitalize the first letter of each word by placing it in a textbox, I have the following code: Dim aString As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("input.txt") Dim stringReturn As String If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists("input.txt") Then Me.xInputTextBox.Text = (Convert.ToString(aString.ToLower)) End If Do While (aString.IndexOf(Space(2)) >= 0) aString = aString.Replace(Space(2), Space(1)) Loop Dim caparray() As String = (aString.Split(" " & "ControlChars.NewLine")) For I As Integer = 0 To caparray.Length - 1 If caparray(I).Length = 1 Then caparray(I) = caparray(I).ToUpper Else ' ***join them back together caparray(I) = caparray(I).Substring(0, 1).ToUpper & caparray(I).Substring(1).ToLower End If Next stringReturn = String.Join(" ", caparray) Me.xInputTextBox.Text = (stringReturn.ToString) My output is then This Is The First Line this Is The Second Line this Is The Third Line It will not capitalize the first letter of the second and third line. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks, Jesi
