[PT Exorcist]

i wanna split a string with the split functions by spliting by the "large" keyword...i tryed making

myString.Split("large");

and it didnt work..it says it needs an char array... i made one but he keeps only loooking for the 1st letter of the split string(in this case l)..what am i doin wrong?

damn when trying in run-time it returned a System.IO.StreamReader... :confused:

[kovan]

what u mean?

[PT Exorcist]

nvm the problem was the string i was trying to split was saying that

[PT Exorcist]

string fileName = @"C:\Documents and Settings\JBRANCO\Desktop\dev.txt";
string lol = System.IO.File.OpenText(fileName).ToString();
MessageBox.Show(lol);

this is returning System.io.streamreader...what am i doin wrong? invalid cast maybe..?

Your going to want to do something like this:

string input = null;

// Open the file
try
{
System.IO.StreamReader re = System.IO.File.OpenText("YourFile");

// This will put the file as a string variable for you.
input = re.ReadToEnd();

// Close the streamreader.
re.Close();
}
catch
{
MessageBox.Show("File Problem");
}

[PT Exorcist]

the problem is the same...it isnt as string format

Did you do what I did in my post? If the file your opening is a text file, then use what I posted. When you use the OpenText method, it returns a streamreader. You then need to tell the streamreader to give you text. That is what this line does:
input = re.ReadToEnd();
input is a string variable.

//Check your file name and path, it looks incorrect to me
string fileName = @"C:Documents and Settings\JBRANCODesktopdev.txt";
string text;
StreamReader re = System.IO.File.OpenText(fileName);
text = re.ReadToEnd();
re.Close();
MessageBox.Show(text);
