I am basically new to using Visual Basic.NET.

I wrote a Visual Basic.NET web application that will allow users to enter
data. Once this data is entered, I put the data into one big long string to
pass the information to a mainframe system. This is way the mainframe system
expects the data. (For example: Address1 should be in position 192 for a
length of 30, city needs to be in position 7886 for a length for 25.)

Thus for each field, I need to put the data into a continous long stream
to be parsed out by the mainframe. Is there any tool that I can use that will
say I am currently at position #7886 for a length of 25? In otherwords,
if I copy and paste the data to "notepad" file is there a way for a tool to
show me where my cursor is at?

Thanks!
 
In notepad make sure that Word Wrap is turned off and the Status Bar is
turned on. Then, in the status bar you'll have Ln 1, Col 123 where Ln 1 is
the line (in this case line 1) and Col 123 is the position of the cursor.

HTH.
