How to read a part of a text file and put them in an array in c#
0 #1 1 Day Ago
I have a text file including several strings and doubles. I want to find a specific string in the text and read all double numbers after it which are located between two slashes"/". The number of double data could be unknown-but we just know they are bounded with two slashes- the file is two big and including several strings for example my data file is like this and I want to put all Double numbers,bounded between slashes and after "POROSITY" into an array with name "POROSITY".

Read file, when you read POROSITY read "/"
Then read all following chars until "/" into a string array.
Don't know with what chars your doubles are separated, but if you know, use the string.Split method to separate all doubles in an array.
