C# read line from string












2















How can I read all line from string.



My code that I have tested(Not working)



string line;
line = mycontent;
StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(line);
string data = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
MessageBox.Show(data);


This code is showing error.
I want to create a simple program that can ReadToEnd from a string not from a file path. I have learned that StreamReader can be used for read a file from file path.



My intention is like i have a string mycontent = "Simple" and I want to read this mycontent to the end. But the mycontent is changing every times did I press a button. So I want to create something that similar to this code.



Thank you.



PS. The error says 'Illegal characters in path.'

The StreamReader constructor takes a path as argument, not the literal string.



Use a StringReader instead. And for reading line by line, use the ReadLine() method.

  • @Fair: I think this has happened to all of us. I dislike the C# API a bit. They should have used a FileInfo parameter instead of a string. That would be much clearer.

Use StringReader() to read a string line by line:



StringReader reader = new StringReader(multilinestring);
while ((line = reader.ReadLine()) != null)
{
//do what you want to do with the line;
};
