Thanks for the quick reply! I see what you saying.. thanks for that.. My array is sequential tho.. its not a 2d array so records[i][j] does not work.. I guess I could try one for loop that assigns each column for one record and then increments i by 8 or something.. I'm thinking that could be t

Hey Gordon, Thanks for the reply. I got it to work using split like you said. I'm now stuck trying to put the data in a datagrid. The data is now in an array but I'm not sure how you reference each element for a column in the data provider or the data grid. The data looks something like this

If you turn each line into an object with properites (e.g. col1, col2 or whatever you like, somethign more descriptive perhaps) put all these objects into an ArrayCollection and use this ArrayCollection as the dataprovider for your grid. In the datagrid use the property names of the object as the
