Need a script that Reads each line of a file stores each line into two separate arrays based on the first character of each line.

Show all headers | View raw

I do not have to script very often and as such I was wondering anyone could provide some base syntax for a simple script I need to create.

I have a file that will either start with a '1' or a '2' as the first character of each line.

I need to read the file then put each line that starts with '1' in an array and each that starts with '2' into another. Finally simply write each array into a separate file. 

I was using something similar in another script but it has been so long since I had to really code I have forgotten a lot and kind of need this in a hurry, any help would be appreciated. Is it as simple as just using a get left = x?

While expfile.AtEndOfStream = False

		
		expreadline = expfile.readline
		'make sure we don't read any blank lines into the array
		If instr(expreadline,"") > 0 then 
			<this is where i need some syntax>


		
			exparray(counter) = expreadline
			'exparray2(counter) = expreadline2
			'make sure we don't read past the end of our data
				If expfile.AtEndOfStream = False then
					
					counter = counter + 1
					ReDim Preserve exparray(counter)
					Redim Preserve exparray2(counter)
							
				End If
