I have a program which reads a text file and processes it to be separated into sections.
How can the program be changed to allow the program to skip reading the first 5 lines of the file while using the Stream Reader to read the file?
The code:
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
TextReader tr = new StreamReader(@"C:\Test\new.txt");
String SplitBy = "----------------------------------------";
// Skip first 5 lines of the text file?
String fullLog = tr.ReadToEnd();
String[] sections = fullLog.Split(new string[] { SplitBy }, StringSplitOptions.None);
//String[] lines = sections.Skip(5).ToArray();
foreach (String r in sections)
{
Console.WriteLine(r);
Console.WriteLine("============================================================");
}
}
}
Try the following
// Skip 5 lines
for(var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
tr.ReadLine();
}
// Read the rest
string remainingText = tr.ReadToEnd();
