             LVItem.Text = strTemp(0).ToString
            ListView1.Items.Add(LVItem)
           LVItem.SubItems.Add(strTemp(1).ToString)
            If strTemp.Length > 2 Then LVItem.SubItems.Add(strTemp(2).ToString)
            If strTemp.Length > 3 Then LVItem.SubItems.Add(strTemp(3).ToString)
            If strTemp.Length > 4 Then LVItem.SubItems.Add(strTemp(4).ToString)
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show("Error reading file." & ex.Message)
        End Try

Please post your input data. Also, why are you using the ToString method on data that is already a string? Is it your intention to only add strings of a certain minimum length or is there some other reason you are checking for length >2, >3, etc. The code you posted only adds one row because as far as I can tell it only runs once unless it is inside a loop which you are not showing.

Hi, it's like Reverend Jim says. If you are getting your data from a textfile you could do it like this

Dim strTemp As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("C:\TempText.txt") 'where ever you get your text from
        Dim lines() As String = Split(strTemp, vbCrLf)
        For Each line In lines
            For i = 0 To 4 'is 5 columns
                Dim LVItem As New ListViewItem(line.Split("!"c))
                ListView1.Items.Add(LVItem)
            Next
        Next

BTW, it's easier to read the file by

Dim lines() As String = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(myfile)

and if you can guarantee that your input lines are properly formatted you can add them all by

For Each line As String In System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(myfile)
    ListView1.Items.Add(New ListViewItem(line.Split("!")))
Next
