So I'm inputting strings from file with "Input #, var" but my variables in the file are not, and cannot be, separated by commas. Instead, they are seperated by linebreaks and tabs. How can I input to string with them separated like this?

(BTW, this is for a contest, so I cannot change how the input file is formatted.)

Use the split command to parse them into an array. Line breaks are vbCrLf and tabs are vbTab. Use those as a delimiter to parse.

I'm not at a PC where I can get to VB, but it goes something like this:

Code: 
Dim moo as Variant

moo = Split(strYourStuff, vbcrlf)

Sorry, I'm kind of a n00b. I've got it to parse to the variant, but how do I put that into my string array?

Code: 
Dim strBoobies(2,6)   As String 'The 2 and 6 being columns/rows. Or the other way around. Can't remember.

strBoobies(0,0) = "Looser"
strBoobies(0,1) = "Pansie"
strBoobies(2,6) = "n00b."


Or maybe a different way, I'm not sure exactly what you're saying.

I know how to use a string array, I just don't know how to get the value(s) from the split() function that NoESC said to my string array.

Then I won't ask you.

Update: it puts it into the string array, but it just puts the whole line into strArray(0), I need it to be split by tabs!

After much worrying and frustration, it turns out that vbCrLf wouldn't do the trick, but Chr$(9) would. So now I can proudly say,
