Re: trim the string

seema,

Calling methods that perform adjustments on the string actually return a
new instance of a string with the adjustments applied. In this case, you
have to do this:

line = line.Trim();

if (line.StartsWit h("DOL"))
....

RE: trim the string

String is immutable; use:

line = line.Trim();

Re: trim the string

Trim returns a new string, so you need to do

line = line.Trim();

Strings in C# are immutable and cannot be changed.

RE: trim the string

without a new string variable or reassigning the value of line

if(line.Trim(). StartsWith("DOL "))
{
//do something
}
