Read text...

[Dum_]

Hi,
if someone can help me how to read a line in the txt document. I know you read the first line or the entire document but i do not know how a particular line...

I would imagine that you need to read through the document one line at a time until you get to a certain one. Either know the line number (and use a loop to iterate through) or use a general expression to find the text, if you do not know the line number.

Yes, i know line number but i donćt know how to read only that line number...

From MSDN:

using System;
using System.IO;

class Test 
{
    public static void Main() 
    {
        try 
        {
            // Create an instance of StreamReader to read from a file.
            // The using statement also closes the StreamReader.
            using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("TestFile.txt")) 
            {
                string line;
                // Read and display lines from the file until the end of 
                // the file is reached.
                while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null) 
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(line);
                }
            }
        }
        catch (Exception e) 
        {
            // Let the user know what went wrong.
            Console.WriteLine("The file could not be read:");
            Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
        }
    }
}

You should be able to modify the while loop to go to the specific line number. Just execute sr.ReadLine() that many times until you get to your line.

Use something like this:

using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(path)) 
            {
                while (sr.Peek() >= 0) 
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(sr.ReadLine());
                }
            }
