Hello
I have a few scripts written in visual basic that open text files and write back out text files after modifying the content. Is it possible to run visual basic scripts under wine or is this beyond the scope of wine?
Thanks

You can pick it up from its manpage but that's pretty terse, so look for
an online tutorial or get hold of a copy of "sed & awk", an O'Reilly
book. Time spent getting to grips with awk is never wasted.

Agreed, but use awk or its GNU version gawk. Its my first choice forreads text files, modifies content, then writes them back out... thats
all? why would you want to run that in Wine... you could write a bash
script in 30 minutes to do it probably...
