    Dim str1 As String = txtlist.Get(0) ' Get 1st line
    Dim str2 As String = txtlist.Get(1) ' Get 2nd line

it can be non limited line

1. You can iterate over the list. I just showed an example to get 1. and 2nd line.
2. You also can use Textreader.

Putting a positive spin on it: now you have a choice of two solutions:

1/ Marco's suggestion will give you sequential (one-at-a-time) access to an unlimited number of lines
2/ Manfred's suggestion will give you random (direct, and in any order) access to a limited number of lines

and can use whichever works best for this particular task.

thanks u everyone .
solved

The given Sub is ideal example. Because it is even possible to add textual content to The texts of A GUI widgets with no need to manually add 30 or 40 textual descriptions for every GUI widget inside source code or by using GUI designer. Thank you for this perfect SUB. I will be finally able to automatize my verbal based tests for memory training. So very well done, perfect sub and sub even detect if The end of text file have been reached. Really. I have never found so ammazing programmers community like here is.
