Hi Alex,
The best place to start is to look at similar samples and walkthrougs and
start your project by re-using some of those samples.
There's a macro sample on MSDN for adding a text in a VB code editor. That
may help you start with using Text Documents.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vbcon/html/vbconusingmacroeditortoaddtexttovisualbasicnetcodewindow.asp
Also if you start VS and Go to Tools-Macros-Macro Explorer, you will see a
"Samples" Macro project. In those samples you can take a look at samples
under Utilities, like "FindLine", "FindCase" etc. Also you can use Macro
Recorder (Tools-Macros-Record Temporary Macro) to get code for some common
actions that you may use in your project.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks
Tufan
