Re: reading text files

Well, I'm not away of any easy way to read comma delimited text files.

You can read textfiles by using

FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(" filename.txt");
string data = fs.ReadToEnd();
fs.Close();

You could split the data long \r\n or parse the filestream through a StreamReader and use ReadLine, then split the resulting line by the comma. However, things like "data","da,ta", "data" would not give the expected result.

This page may provide some ideas.
