C# string.split()

[ajc308]

I have a text file that I am reading in, and on some of the lines, there are multiple numbers that need to be read into seperate variables. The problem I am having, is that sometimes, the numbers are separated by a single space, sometimes multiple spaces, and sometimes tabs.

So if I have something like the following:

-18519.65	 -100000	-500
0.0		30.9946	10.0
-18619.65	-97500	-550
0.00        30.9846      10.0

Where the formatting is obviously not consistent, how do I use split effectively to ensure that each line becomes strArray[0], strArray[1], and strArray[2].

Because currently, what is happening, is that some lines will conform to that standard, but others store the numbers in strArray[0], strArray[2], and strArray[3] or strArray[0], strArray[8], and strArray[14].

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Andrew

Something like:

[code=cpp]
string fileLocation = "Your File Location"
StreamReader SReader = new StreamReader(fi leLocation);
List<string> values = new List<string>();

while(!SReader. EndOfStream)
{
values.AddRange (SReader.ReadLi ne().Split(new char[] { ' ', '\t' }, StringSplitOpti ons.RemoveEmpty Entries);
}
[/code]

That should return only numbers.
