  i have a combination of lines like this:

  X200876Y-140576 X220177Y12467

  and i want to make this lines to be like this

  X200.876 Y-140.576 X220.177 Y124.67

  The program should works like this. It should read the line and it shoud add "." after 3 numbers from X and for Y also same thing After Y it should count 3 numbers and add [DOT] and avoid any other character after Y only count numbers. Dim lines() As String = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("C:\kaya.txt")

      Dim sv As StreamWriter = File.CreateText("C:\\kaya.txt")
  
      Dim line As String
      For Each line In lines
  
          Dim pos1 As Integer = line.LastIndexOf("X") + 1
  
          Dim pos2 As Integer = line.LastIndexOf("Y") + 1
  
          Dim leng As Integer = line.Length
  
          Dim fstnum As String = line.Substring(pos1, pos2 - pos1 - 1)
  
          Dim sndnum As String = line.Substring(pos2, leng - pos2)
  
          If IsDigits(fstnum) Then
              fstnum = "X" + fstnum.Insert(fstnum.Length - 3, ".") + " " '<--blank space added
  
          Else
              fstnum = "X" + fstnum + " " '<--blank space added
          End If
          If IsDigits(sndnum) Then
              sndnum = "Y" + sndnum.Insert(sndnum.Length - 3, ".")
          Else
              sndnum = "Y" + sndnum
          End If
          editedLine = fstnum + sndnum
  
          sv.WriteLine(editedline)
      Next
  
      sv.Close()
  
  
  End Sub
  Private Shared Function IsDigits(ByVal value As String) As Boolean
      If String.IsNullOrEmpty(value) Then
  
          Return False
      End If
  
      Dim regexp As Regex = New System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("^[0-9,-]*$")
  
      Return regexp.Match(value).Success
  

  Can any one help me to solve this problem Thank you
