but far can't seem output.

you using lot of outdated stuff in code (reading file streamreader, arraylist instead of list<t>, etc.). suggest following (untested):

' returns array 1 string per line dim lines = file.readalllines("c:\...\somefile.txt")  ' remove trailing `,` - linq magic lines = (from s in lines select s.trimend(","c)).toarray()  dim strength = cint(lines(0)) dim agility = cint(lines(1)) ... 

if rid of useless trailing commas, can skip second step. if use only commas instead of new lines, first step becomes:

dim lines = file.readalltext("c:\...\somefile.txt").split(","c)
