Reading the next line from a text file - vb.net

Question

I'm working on an RPG type game for a project and I am stuck.
Basically, this code searches for a name in a text file (structure: odds as names and evens as levels). It then needs to output the next line which is the level they where on. I have the counter (variable "count") to output the right text line in which the level is written but I can not use that count to read that line (using "FileSystem.LineInput(count)").
Here is my full code:
Sub LoadGame()
Dim filename, filepath, searchitem, question, read As String
Dim found As Boolean
Dim count As Integer = 1
filename = "save.txt"
filepath = CurDir() & "\" & filename
searchitem = name
FileOpen(1, filename, OpenMode.Input)
Do While Not EOF(1)
read = LineInput(1)
If read = searchitem Then
found = True
Exit Do
Else
found = False
End If
count = count + 1
Loop
If found = True Then
If count >= 3 Then
count = count + 1
End If
question = FileSystem.LineInput(count) ' This bit is broken
Console.WriteLine("Found save game... Loading: " & question)
Console.ReadLine()
Console.BackgroundColor = ConsoleColor.Black
Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Red
Console.Clear()
Race(question)
Else
Console.WriteLine("No save game...")
Console.ReadLine()
End If
FileClose(1)
End Sub
I am not sure what is wrong but any help would be greatly appreciated (using VB 2010)

Answer 1

LineInput reads the next line of the specified file (parameter FileNumber).
Your file has the FileNumber 1 and the file pointer points to the desired line. Therefore, it should be sufficient to
question = FileSystem.LineInput(1)
In my oppinion, you should avoid those kinds of file access (per FileNumber) in .Net. This is just an old relict from VB6 times. In .Net you have easy-to-use classes such as StreamReader for that purpose. But if you want to do it the old-fashioned way, at least use the FreeFile method to define the file number.
