I am reading thestring character by character checking for ",". So when I reach the end of the string I am crashing. Is there something for end of the string? It is a very small file, maybe, about 5 records.

I was able to write and read to a file. Just one more thing, how do I check for end of file? I have to read the file and print the data onto a report.

It is pretty much the same except that it is an instance class, it does not require a security check every time it is called and can be made threqad safe me thinks.If you are just logging errors or something that you don't care about performance with thenthe File class is the way to go since you will not have to instantiate theclass in your code but it will run slower.

Below is the MSDN Doc stuff I pulled from the File ClassDefinition that I thought might help. The complete document can be foundat: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143356.aspx if you want to read up on the File Class. Here is the copied stuff for the CSharp version: Copy using System; using System.IO; using System.Text; class Test { public static void Main() { string path = @"c:\temp\MyTest.txt" ; // RtNote, notice the .txt file extension in the above file path// Also, note the use of the @ sign as Jamal identified in a prior post.// This text is added only once to the file. if (!File.Exists(path)) { // Create a file to write to. string createText = "Hello and Welcome" + Environment.NewLine; File.WriteAllText(path, createText); } // This text is always added, making the file longer over time // if it is not deleted. string appendText = "This is extra text" + Environment.NewLine; File.AppendAllText(path, appendText); // Open the file to read from. string readText = File.ReadAllText(path); Console.WriteLine(readText); } }----- Original Message ----- From: "Jamal Mazrui" <empower@xxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "Celia Rodriguez" <celia-rodriguez@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, May 08, 2010 6:34 AM Subject: Re: C# Writing to a fileIn C#, you do not have to double the backslash characters if you precede the string literal with the @ symbol. Just put that symbol immediatelybefore the initial quote mark.
