How to read lines from a text file one by one using Power Point VBA code?

Question

This code will read a line from a text file:

set file = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile("c:\number.txt", 1)
text = file.ReadLine
MsgBox text

How can I make it read several lines after another from the same file? I guess I should use a loop here, right? I need him to read the first line from the file in the first iteration, the second line in the second iteration, the third in the third, and so on, until all the lines have been read. How can i do this?

An important addition: I need code to work on each line one by one - not all at once!

Answer 1

Use the method ReadAll():

text = file.ReadAll

( : FileSystemObject)

:

Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8
Dim fso, MyFile, FileName, TextLine

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

FileName = "c:\testfile.txt"

Set MyFile = fso.OpenTextFile(FileName, ForReading)

'' Read from the file
Do While MyFile.AtEndOfStream <> True
    TextLine = MyFile.ReadLine

    '' Do stuff to TextLine

Loop
MyFile.Close

- VBA, :

Sub ReadAFileLineByLine()
    Dim InStream As Integer
    InStream = FreeFile()
    Open "C:/tmp/fastsynchtoquesttry_quest.txt" For Input As InStream

    Dim CurrLine As String
    Do While True
        Line Input #InStream, CurrLine
        ' do stuff to CurrLine
        If EOF(InStream) Then Exit Do
    Loop

    Close #InStream
End Sub

* Windows Script, FileSystemObject, :

Dim fs As FileSystemObject
Dim f As TextStream

VBA, .

-, # 1 , "generate"

:

Const DEFAULT_SLIDE = 1 ' the slide to copy the layout style from
Const MARGIN = 50       ' margin of the generated textbox

Sub generate()
    Dim txtFile As String   ' text file name

    If Len(Dir$(txtFile)) = 0 Then

    Open txtFile For Input As #fileNo

    i = 0
    Do While Not EOF(fileNo)

        'add a textbox for slideshow progress ex) 1/100
        Set myShape = ActivePresentation.Slides(DEFAULT_SLIDE + 1 + i).Shapes. _
        AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 0, 0, 150, 20)
        With myShape
            .TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "( " & i & " /" & total & " )"
            .TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Size = 20

    Next

    MsgBox total & " Slides were added.", vbInformation
