title: Read specific column of data from multi-line tab delimited richtextbox text in VB.Net
body: <p>I'm looking to be able to select multiple 'columns' of data from one richtextbox (called ReportText) and display it within a second richtextbox (called UploadText). By columns, I mean each piece of data that is separated by vbTab.<br />
  <br /><br /><br />
  My data looks a little bit like this:</p>
  
  <p><em>column1 (vbTab) column2 (vbTab) column3 (vbTab) column4 (vbTab) column5 ..... (vbCrLf)<br />1a (vbTab) 1b (vbTab) 1c (vbTab) 1d (vbTab) 1e (vbTab).... (vbCrLf)<br />2a (vbTab) 2b (vbTab) 2c (vbTab) 2d (vbTab) 2e (vbTab).... (vbCrLf)</em></p>
  
  <p>--NB I have written in (vbTab) to represent the tab delimited nature of the information and (vbCrLf) for the new line.</p>
  
  <p>--Please also note that the information in the first RTB would have more than 5 columns and 3 lines, above is for illustatrive purposes.<br /><br /><br /></p>
  
  <p>Could anyone please give me guidance as to how I would do this? Happy to elaborate on any parts where anything is not clear. I'm assuming I'd look to split in to 2d arrays (or similar) but not sure how to do that, nor call for the specific data from say column1 and column3 of the first RTB (ReportText) to display in the second RTB (UploadText).</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for your help,</p>
