Separation of a text file

[iara]

Hi, Im quite new at C#, I would like to open a .txt file and read it and then separate the variables. How can I indicate the reader to just read some on the variables and skip others..I mean I want the reader to read word by word, I know I should use streamreader.
I also would like to ask what can be easier to store these variables in a database or to just use an array ?
Thanks in advance if someone would give them their opinion...

I would use the TextReader class for this, then split the file as required with the SubString method of the String Object. If you are concatenating strings make sure you're using the StringBuilder object because of the immutable/mutable difference.

Whether you store to a file system or not is up to you.. If I need to manipulate content quickly in memory I use the MemoryStream object.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
I have read line by line and have search for a particular word using regex, when it has found this word i have sent this line to a function because i want to read this particular line by each character. My question is the file is in .rtf, how can y keep the format of this particular line? Its just sending a bunch of text characters.
well Is there a better way for me to do this ?
any suggestions?
