How can you view and display your text file to your C# windows application?

Help! I'm kinda confused on doing this program.





You have a .txt file (from Notepad) that has the following input in the first line:





1234567#John Edwards#Ohio





How can you able to view and display these outputs using the C# application, in such a way that '1234567','John Edwards' and 'Ohio' are different inputs, wherein, they are all displayed separately in a label/text button?





Is there any links I could access that involves this kind of problem? Thanks.

Reply:Basically, all you need to do to accomplish this is parse out the string by using some built-in string functions. I forget the actual names of them in C#, but basically you


- get the line from the text file by looking for the delimiter (tab, space, comma, etc) and assigning everything befor it to a string


- get the length of that string by using something like myString.Length


- once you have the length, use a substring function to find the first occurence of a '#'


- using the string length function, and the indexof function, you can get the first component by getting the substring from position 1 to the position of the '#', minus one.





You can use this method to iterate through the rest of the strong, changing the start and end positions as needed.
