[2.0] quick question 'bout streamreader

[Fromethius]

how do i read the last line of a document and put it into an array?

double lastLine = code for reading last line;
myArray.SetValue(lastLine, 0);

something like that?.. yea.. quick question. thanks

To read the last line of a file using a StreamReader you must first read every other line because a StreamReader is forward-only. There is no way to know how many lines it contins without reading them. The StreamReader's Peek method returns -1 when there is no data remaining, so you can just read a line into a variable in a loop until Peek returns -1. Then the value in the variable is the last line.

I don't do it for the rep. I do it for the money that you send me completely voluntarily. ;)
