Hi
I have a bunch of text files which need to be organized.
What I want to do is to select three continuous lines from
each text file and write them down in another text file.
Each of those three line is started with character such
as "IH".
There are also more lines repeated after these three lines
which are started with the same character, but I do not
want to take them.

Please let me know how I can write a function in VB that
does that.

Thanks
Regards

Have a look at the classes 'StreamReader' and 'StreamWriter' in the
'System.IO' namespace. You can use the 'StreamReader''s 'ReadLine' method
to read a line from the file.
