hi....i'm new in vb programming and need help to solve the programming problem ......i have write a script to read line input file, compute and then produce result but i have a problem to list up the result for an output....it's only print out the last output....actually i need to read an entire INFORMATION from the first line input until end of the line input and sort it......for your information The variable STN is refers to Station Name.....let say if the script found first station name BELU then it will list up all the information of that station sequentially according to the format i need and print it as BELU.txt....and the script will do the same procedure for other station name until the end of file .....

and so on until end of station name BELU.......The script then will print the same format for the other stations

thanks for your help....i'm appreciated if u could help me with this problems.......can anybody help me....tq.....

You need to output the data after each read.
Modified or original.

You are working on a very important app.

Years ago a friend said if he were to develop a new system all the data would be TEXT.
That makes it easy to edit with a simple editor.

Good luck
