Hello everbody,
I know C++, so below is a code I wrote that opens/reads a file and looks for
certain character and writes into another file all X and Y coordinates of a
pecific character.

I would like to build a matrix using VB:
I need help on how to open and read a text file(read every character in
file), then create a matrix and insert everyone of those characters into a
table (matrix) in VB.

Could anybody help with this.
int main()
{
FILE *infile, *InkLocsFile;
char line[MAXLINE]={0}; //wmapBitLoc[rows][cols]
int n=0,i=0,j=0, flag=0, cl=0,Ink=0, rw = -1;

infile = fopen("wmap.txt", "r"); //open fail file for reading and writing
if (infile == NULL)
{
printf("\nError (Error opening wmap file): %s file failed to
open.\n",infile);
exit(0);
}//end if


InkLocsFile = fopen("InkLocsFile.txt", "w");
fprintf (InkLocsFile, "RowLoc ColLoc \n");
fprintf (InkLocsFile, "----- ------ \n");

while ( (fgets (line,sizeof(line),infile) != NULL))
{
rw +=1;
// if (strstr(line))
// {
for (n=0; n<MAXLINE; n++)
{
if (line[n] == 48)
{
cl =n;
fprintf (InkLocsFile, "%2d %10d \n",rw, cl);
}//end if (line[n] == 0)

}// end for

// }//end if strstr()

}//end While
fclose (infile);
fclose (InkLocsFile);
return 0;
}//end main()
