maybe you could use the last modified value, Windows will store the date the last time a file was modified... or you could try matching the File Size, if the file is larger than it was before then new content has been added... etc...<br />
<br />
hope this helps

You could set up a timer and scan every (60 or whatever) seconds if the 'modification date' has changed or the file size. And if changed process the file.. <br />

It works for me ...<br />

How could the VB process the text file created by matlab automatically?

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
