How to do simple SQL like operation on a text file

VB

Hi all

I have a dbase.txt file with some data in it. i.e -

Institution Course StudentID
XZY ABC 2010-1111111 "the spaces between columns is one tab space"
XYZ ABC 2010-1222222
XYZ ABC 2010-1333333

I want to perform simple SQL like operation - i.e -

SELECT * FROM dbase.txt or
SELECT Institution FROM dbase.txt WHERE StudentID=2010-1111111 and an insert operation like -
INSERT dbase.txt VALUES(XYZ ABC 2010-1444444)

I have written some code which is not even closer to what I mentioned above. My program can read only the whole text file. There is a menu, but not functioning well, as well as my write function which is not working at all.

So, can anyone help me with this problem. Any link to any web site would also be helpful. Below is my code -

Thanks in advance.
