Question Search text file

[TooLongName]

Hey,

I have Visual Basic 2008

I'm using this text file: (in the attachments)

And I'm using a little bit messed up code which is not really doing what I want

What I want is that when I press a button it reads what I entered in TextBox1 and search my item.txt file for it, and shows the part in front of the string I entered in TextBox1.

This is what item.txt looks like:

IDS_PROPITEM_TXT_011906	Joey
IDS_PROPITEM_TXT_011907 Description
IDS_PROPITEM_TXT_011908	Spike
IDS_PROPITEM_TXT_011909 Description
IDS_PROPITEM_TXT_011910	Lumia
IDS_PROPITEM_TXT_011901 Description
IDS_PROPITEM_TXT_011912	Inspector Koko
IDS_PROPITEM_TXT_011913 Description
IDS_PROPITEM_TXT_011914	Kai Hat(M)
IDS_PROPITEM_TXT_011915 Description
IDS_PROPITEM_TXT_011916	Kai Suit(M)
IDS_PROPITEM_TXT_011917 Description

So when I enter this in TextBox1: "Kai Hat(M)" it will put the part in front of "Kai Hat(M)" in TextBox2 (IDS_PROPITEM_TXT_011914).

Thanks in Advance

You can do it putting these four together:
For Each...Next Statement (Visual Basic)
File.ReadAllLines Method (String) (System.IO)
String.IndexOf Method (String) (System)
String.Remove Method (Int32) (System)
