Can anyone tell me why this is entering a new line

I am concatenating a variable onto a path(string), i'm using a message box to display this for testing purposes, I can see that the variable is starting on a new line, which in turn when i try to open the file it doesn't recognize that the file exist... 

Dim Path As String = "C:\Users\stefan\Desktop\Uni Work\Year 4\Projects\Project Selection\Project\Project\bin\Debug\"
    Shapetext = clickedShapes.Item(nextShape).Text.ToString.Substring(0, clickedShapes.Item(nextShape).Text.IndexOf(" "))

                        MsgBox(Path + Shapetext + ".txt")

can any1 help me out here?

On your final output string, you could always use something like 

string.replace(vbCrLf, "")

or

string.replace(vbCr, "")

I suggest to:

  • Remove the MsgBox and replace with System.Diagnostics.Debug.Writeline(Path + Shapetext + ".txt")
  • Put a breakpoint on that line and run the debugger until the point.
  • Take note of the output in the output window.
  • Check if the file really exist in the output folder

At this point will be obvious what's wrong. Or file doesn't exist, or your string concat fails for some reason.
