How do i read one word at a time from a text file in which the words are separated by a white space. The pointer should also move along. I mean i dont want to use the String.split method after reading a line. I want to read words and insert a word at a particular position in the file. Is there a simple way to do this??

Hi,
Just read line by line and token it on space using
<pre lang="c++">arr = strtok(buffer,' ');</pre>

check the correct syntax from internet.
arr will have the words.

StreamReader has a Read() method that reads one character at a time. It might be more efficient to use the (buffered version[^]) at the cost of getting a few extra characters and more complexity but getting one char at a time is slow.

All you then need do is loop, checking each each char in turn.
