RTF files input

Hi im new to VB.net and VB

Can someone please help, all i want to do is read in a value from a.rtf file, either into a textBox or a label. The .rtf file only has one word in it.

The problem is that all that is displayed is the end of the .rtf code
example

\par }}}

instead of the word in the file

I know normaly i would use:

FileOpen(1, Filename, OpenMode.Input)

Do While Not EOF(1)
Text = LineInput(1)
Fname.Text = Text
Loop

To read in all the text from a .txt file, but i cant figure out how to read in the text from an .rtf file

any help would be greatly appreciated

Is it only getting the last line? if it is, try this.

Do While Not EOF(1)
Text = LineInput(1)
Fname.Text = Fname.Text & Text
Loop

Or is it another problem?
