[RESOLVED] Stream reader next position

[Paul the Rookie]

Thanks..my first problem is solved but now I need to move the next read position of the filestream back to the beginning + offset ... I have tried using seek and position but I cant make them work !

you can set the position using the BaseStream.Position method of the StreamReader object.

But it doesnt work. I read in say 4 characters...process them..then do :
srReader.Basestream.Position=1
but it still reads starting at character 5

Solved it..... You have to use seek but before you set the seek position you have to use StreamReader.DiscardBufferedData() first !!
