OK, this is a shot in the dark, but if there are any VBScript or Visual Basic programmers out there, maybe you can help...

When you input text from a file using VBScript's "ReadLine()" or Visual Basic's "Input #x" a comma (,) or a semicolon (;) will "stop" the line input...
In other words, the text line "hello;test" in a file will cause the input #x text to be "hello" then the next input #x will be "test"... Really screws things up working with a text file (such as an email) that has a semi-colon in it... So my question is..

Is there a way to input a line WITH the semicolon - just as it is in the text file? I guess the semicolon is some kind of line separator that VB sees as a line break, but it really messes things up...
