HI,

I have text file, it contain following text.

CSS

Starting Ping at
The current time is: 18:26:15.37
Enter the new time:
Pinging 192.168.1.143 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.1.143: bytes=32 time=12ms TTL=123

Ping statistics for 192.168.1.143:
    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 12ms, Maximum = 12ms, Average = 12ms

And here I need to extract the phase from the text file.
for an example I need to save time and the Minimum value.
like this 18:26:15.37 12ms

Is this possible to do in c#

yes it is possible..check System.IO.File .. read the file ... iterate throguth it line by line and look for your matching string..

You can use methods from the string class called Contains, Substring & IndexOf. Definetively you can use them all.

Hope it helps.

It just headstart, you can improve further...

C#

var finalString = string.Empty;
 var line = string.Empty;
 var file = new System.IO.StreamReader("c:\\text.txt");
 while ((line = file.ReadLine()) != null)
 {
    if (line.Contains("The current time is:"))
    {
       var strrr = Regex.Split(line, "The current time is: ");
       finalString = strrr[1];
    }
    else if (line.Contains("Minimum ="))
    {
       var strrr = Regex.Split(line, "Minimum =");
       finalString += strrr[1].Substring(0,5);
       break;
    }
 }
 file.Close();
 Console.WriteLine(finalString);
 Console.ReadLine();
