Sorry to dig this up, but it seems i need to do somthing like this again, can anyone give me an example on how to extract the value out of this text file:

test.txt
blah
blah
blah
myvalue=1000
morestuff
morestuff


i need to extract the '1000' value out of the myvalue line... this is a .txt document.

my guess it to use the Instr() like before somehow, also the number will only be 9 digits and shorter if that means anything..

i'v been going at it for 2 hours now, is this possible or am i wasting my time?
