SAMPLE VB.NET CODE: VB.NET Importing text file into array
Imports System.IO
Dim files As String() = _
System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("C:\file.txt")
Dim data As String() = Nothing
For Each file As String In files
data = file.Split(New Char() {"|"c}, _
StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)

SIMPLER CODE
Dim lines() As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines(c:\test.txt) 'change to actual path
Dim newArray(lines.GetUpperBound(0))
For x As Integer = 0 To lines.GetUpperBound(0)
newArray(x) = lines(x)
