reading file into array

[James]

i've a text file in the following format and i would like to read into this
array

text file
======
machine1
machine2

Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader("m achines.txt")
dim line as string
Do

line = sr.ReadLine



Loop Until line Is Nothing

sr.Close()

How can i read line by line into this form of array :

dim strcomputer() as string = {"machine1", "machine2"}

James,

By not using the fixed array however the dynamic arraylist. (see inline 2
places in the code)

dim myArrayList as new Arraylist[color=blue]
> Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader("m achines.txt")
> dim line as string
> Do
>
> line = sr.ReadLine[/color]
myArrayList.Add (line)[color=blue]
>
>
> Loop Until line Is Nothing
>
> sr.Close()[/color]

Re: reading file into array

You could also use a StringCollectio n instead of ArrayList.
Depends on what you want to do with the data once
you're read it
