  Search txt file for string between two points         


Author: JaY

I am trying to search a text file for a word. Then I want to do
another search for another word. Once I find the second word I want
to copy the info between the 1st and 2nd word to a string.

Can this be done easy?

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

  Printing From DOS application To A Windows Printer

OK, Gurus, my thanks in advance for any insight.

There are a couple of shareware programs out there (DOS2USB, and DOSPRN)
that will allow printing to a Windows printer from a legacy DOS application.
In my case I wrote a boat rental application in Cobol back in the '80's, and
now the customer wants to migrate it to a new PC that has USB but no
parallel or serial ports. I've written a VB version of it, but it's a
complex application and has not been tested nearly enough to go live.

I bought DOS2USB, but got burned by the not-too-good-English-speaking sales
folks overseas, but that's another story.

I must have too much time on my hands, 'cause I want to write my own
utility. An easy way would be to create a text file in the DOS application,
look for its existence, then read and print it from a VB program, and
finally delete it, but I consider this a sloppy solution to the problem.

Hello,
Is there any possibility to have some words in Bold in a normal VB6 textbox
(not a richtextbox).
Many thanks for your answer.
