C#

Type type = Type.GetType("MyNamespace.MyFormName");
object[] args = new object[1];
args[0] = new DSBasis();
Activator.CreateInstance(type, args);

System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(yourObject);

If you can rely on a standard line format, it's pretty easy:

string line = "Name: Joseph Smith";

string[] parts = string.split(line, ":");

Then the parts[] array will contain the following strings:

parts[0] = "Name"
parts[1] = " Joseph Smith"

Note the space before Joseph. You could use string.Trim() to get rid of that, or you can modify the split to use StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries.

I'm assuming you're using C#, here.
