[RESOLVED] [2008] Compare string to line in txt file

[rhijaen]

I'm trying to see if my string contains a line from a .txt

This works, but it is reading and showing in the msgbox the next line down from what I want. Also, I don't want it to stop when it hits the first one found. It should keep going until the end of the string.

What's wrong with the code?

        Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(MyTempFilePath)

        Do While objReader.Peek() <> -1
            If editorstring.Contains(objReader.ReadLine) Then
                MsgBox("String contains: " & objReader.ReadLine)
            End If
        Loop

Thats because you're calling ReadLine twice. Each time it will return a new line from the file.

Dim Reader As New System.IO.StreamReader(MyTempFilePath)
        Dim line As String
 
        Do While Reader.Peek() <> -1
            line = Reader.ReadLine
            If editorstring.Contains(line) Then
                MessageBox.Show("String contains: " & line)
            End If
        Loop

Also note that hungarian notation saying "obj" in front of every class instance is just silly, since everything in the .Net framework inherits from object No biggie though.
