Trouble splitting on line breaks

[jpmarkee]

I am trying to split a text file based on line breaks. The following code seems to be splitting on every 'r' or 'n' in the file not on line breaks. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong,

Dim AllData = filestream.Read ToEnd()
Dim Rows = AllData.Split(" \r\n".ToCharArr ay())


Thanks!

try using 2 backslashes

Dim Rows = AllData.Split("\\r\\n".ToCharArray())

VB doesn't support the character escaping, you will have to use the vbCRLF object (not sure where you get that, some VB person would know)

You could also probably get away creating a char array and filling it with the ascii integer values that corrospond to the \r and \n characters

Ended up having to use:

Dim Rows = AllData.Split(E nvironment.NewL ine.ToCharArray ())
