How to supply a C# program with data from a text file?

Question

2.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

I have a text file data.txt which has this data on it:
5 5
1 2 N
LMLMLMLMM
3 3 E
MMRMMRMRRM

My application can read the data from the file:

System.IO.StreamReader = dataFile = new System.IO.StreamReader("C\\data.txt");
string myData = dataFile.ReadToEnd();

And I can split the string:

Array splitString = myData.Split(' ');

Now I want to use the splitted string as values on my program, like this:

Grid viewGrid = new Grid(Coordinates(5,5));
     viewGrid.AddToCollection(new Rov(1,2,'N',"LMLMLMLMM"));
     viewGrid.AddToCollection(new Rov(3,3,'E',"MMRMMRMRRM"));

I guessed that - but remember: we can't see your screen. We can't access your HDD. And we can't read your mind! :laugh:
We have no idea how you are trying to do this, or what problems you are facing - and unless you tell us, we can't know.
So explain! In short, simple words if necessary (some of us can;t read long ones, so it's probably best) exactly where you need help!

Do like below...

C#

string[] splitString = myData.Split(' ');

if(splitString != null)
{
    if(splitString.Length > 0)
    {
        Grid viewGrid = new Grid(Coordinates(Convert.ToInt32(splitString[0]), Convert.ToInt32(splitString[1]));
        
        viewGrid.AddToCollection(new Rov(Convert.ToInt32(splitString[2]), Convert.ToInt32(splitString[3]), splitString[4], splitString[5]));
        
        viewGrid.AddToCollection(new Rov(Convert.ToInt32(splitString[6]), Convert.ToInt32(splitString[7]), splitString[8], splitString[9]));
    }
}
