    Hi,

    Yes , there is method to fetch the text from the text control.

    Use the "Text" property of the control , it returns all the text contained within the control.



    I hope this has been of some help.

      Use the .TEXTCONTENT property to fetch the value of the Object, say a textbox or a label or any object of your interest(if applicable)

        Use the below code to read from the entire text file;

        Sub TextfileRead

         Dim tobj, FSO

         Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

         Set tobj = FSO.OpenTextFile("C:\SampleText.txt",1)

          Do Until tobj.AtEndOfStream

           content = tobj.Readline

          Msgbox content

         Loop

         Set tobj = Nothing

         Set FSO = Nothing

        End Sub

    Hi,

    Using wText i was able to fetch the entire string present in the text file. I need to validate only if string xyz is present or not. How to do that?
