passing data to an array

Question

I have to pass a whole load of values of personal info, eg name age height etc from a text file (.txt) into a vb array, what is the best way of doing this? There are probably around 10 pieces of info for each 'record' and approx 20 records. Do i have to declare an array and its size before hand, of or can this be done on a button click when the data is requested?

You can define an array during runtime by reading the infoReader and getting the number of characters in that line like this: (infoReader.ReadLine()).Length assign this to an integer and put it in the arguments of tha array. Does this help?

There is no 'easy' way to read data from a text file. You'll have to define the array and read the data in line by line.
