Hello I have string arrays in a file that have to read it and display in the datagrid in wpf.

The text file has array vaues like
{{name}, {name2}, {name3}}
{{tom}, {John}, {Harry}}

I tried following but it didnt work because it is expecting regular txt file instead of the arrays
string[] str = File.ReadAllLines("filepath");

in my case I have to read arrays from the file instead of simple text
how to do it best?

Thanks

May I suggest using Regular Expressions?

You can also write your own code, but I feel like you might not be understanding what File.ReadAllLines("filepath"); is actually doing. That function won't parse based on values, just read all the text from each line.
