I am having trouble reading a text file the way I would assume it would be read.

This is my code:
Code:
Sub test2()

Dim fLine As String
    Open "C:\test.txt" For Input As #1
    Do While Not EOF(1)
        Input #1, fLine
        MsgBox fLine
    Loop

End Sub

This is the first & only 2 lines of data in the sample test.txt file:
Code:
CLNT=250001,REPORT-DATE=103109,REQUESTD=LAYTONNA
SCH#=0080

My expected Msgbox output is:
1st Loop through:
Code:
CLNT=250001,REPORT-DATE=103109,REQUESTD=LAYTONNA

2nd Loop through:
Code:
SCH#=0080

...then file closes.

But, this is my actual Msgbox output:
1st Loop through:
Code:
CLNT=250001

2nd Loop through:
Code:
REPORT-DATE=103109

3rd Loop through:
Code:
REQUESTD=LAYTONNA

4th Loop through:
Code:
CLNT=250001

It is breaking up the first line of data at each coma. How do I get this to give my expected output of only 2 full lines of data?
