I know how to get a specific line value of a txtbox

 TextBox1.Lines(1).ToString 

but i don't know how to use the value of

 TextBox1.Lines(1).ToString 

and "paste" it in example : the 2de line in txtbox5?

Please and thank you

I am not really sure what you are try to achieve here but for copying and pasting have a look at this.

To be able to use the value of a line in a text box you could simple do something like below

Dim lineOfText as string = TextBox1.Lines(1).ToString

then edit the variable to whatever you want

Thanks..But I like to use the value of

 Textbox1.Line(1).Tostring 

to edit the 5th line in textbox5.
I DON"T want to set textbox5.text = to the value.. I just want to edit that specific line.

I tried to use:

 Textbox1.Lines(4) = Textbox1.Line(1).Tostring 

but it didn't work

Please and Thank you

Hey i just through something together to see if i could get it work as i had never done what you are asking. what i done was just loop through each line of textbox 2 and then wrote and if statement to check if i was at the right line in textbox 2 and if i was get the value from text box 1 and insert it at that point in textbox 2.

Ps this is by no mean good code this is just a starting point for you good luck

       For Each i In txt2.Lines
            If i = 4 Then
                txt2.Text = txt1.Lines.GetValue(1).ToString
            End If
        Next

Try something like this...

        Dim tboxLines() As String
        tboxLines = TextBox1.Text.Split(CChar(vbNewLine))
        tboxLines(1) = "New text goes here."
        TextBox1.Text = Join(tboxLines, vbNewLine)

Sorry about my English, but I use Visual Basic Express Edition. I want to make the second line in textbox2 the value of textbox1.text

I just want to set a specific line in a textbox, and make it a specific value example
[code]
Dim a as string
a= "hi"
textbox2.lines(2) = a
[\code]

Sorry but didn't work for me

Of course that didn't do it. We have given you a few ways to do it. Did you try them?

Here's what I suggested, in the form of a Function. It will work for any string that has multiple lines, that is, lines of text separated by end-of-line characters. All you need to do is to call the function, assigning the returned value to wherever you want it.

    Private Sub btnChange_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnChange.Click
        ' in this call, TxtBox1.Text is what we want to change
        ' 1, is the index of the line we want to change
        ' TextBox2.Lines(2).ToString is a line from another TextBox that we want to
        '  end up in TextBox1.Text

        TextBox1.Text = changeline(1, TextBox1.Text, TextBox2.Lines(2).ToString)
    End Sub

    Private Function changeline(ByVal whichline As Integer, ByVal oldtext As String, ByVal changetext As String) As String
        Dim tboxLines() As String
        tboxLines = oldtext.Split(CChar(vbNewLine))
        tboxLines(whichline) = changetext
        Return Join(tboxLines, vbNewLine)
    End Function

I don't know what more I can tell you, except that you will not get anywhere repeatedly trying something that doesn't work.

Yes it does, but only because it's called that way.

I wrote the call to the Function as:

TextBox1.Text = changeline(1, TextBox1.Text, TextBox2.Lines(2).ToString)

but it doesn't have to be a TextBox that gets changed, or a TextBox that supplies the string to substitute. For instance,

TextBox1.Text = changeline(5, TextBox1.Text, "This text will be placed in TextBox1, on the 6th line.")

or, assuming you've just read in a .txt file, contained in a variable called fileContents, and you want to change the 12th line to the current date and time...

fileContents = changeline(11, fileContents, Now())

So, basically any multiple-line variable may be changed with that Function, with any text from any source supplied as the new data.

Glad to be of assistance.
