INPUTTO$(#h, c$)
 
INPUTTO$(#handle, delim$))
 
Description:
This function reads from the file #handle up to the character specified in delim$ or to the end of the line, whichever comes first.  This is handy for reading files which contain comma, tab, pipe, or other delimited items.
 
'display each comma delimited item in a file on its own line
open "inputto test.txt" for input as #test
while eof(#test) = 0
    print inputto$(#test, ",")
wend
close #test
 
Inputto$ directly to an array
You can use inputto$() to fill an array directly:
 
dim array$(500)
filedialog "Open","*.txt",file$
open file$ for input as #test
    while eof(#test) = 0
        array$(total)=inputto$(#test,",")
        print array$(total)
        total=total+1
        if total>=500 then exit while
    wend
    close #test
 
for i = 0 to total
print array$(i)
next
end
