streamreader

[asadaziz]

I am working on visual studio 2008 what i want to do is read till the end of the file the code i am using is

StreamReader ^sr= gcnew StreamReader("example.txt");
				 String ^str;
				 while(sr->Read()!= 0)
				 {
					 str=sr->ReadLine();
					 textBox2->Text=sr->ReadLine();
					 MessageBox::Show(str);
				 }
					 sr->Close();

what could be used inside while condition that this will read till the end of the file

looking on msdn (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.streamreader.readtoend.aspx)
StreamReader has a ReadToEnd function.

is this what you were looking for?

no the read to end function does not work with my code i want a way in which my program can read a file till the end

thanks for the reply by the way :)

you mean you want the output tokenized into lines?

[asadaziz]

yup the read to end function reads all the file and stores it in a single string i got it but i wanted the output tokened in lines

looking on msdn again. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa904305(v=vs.71).aspx

you could read the whole stream into a string using ReadToEnd then use String.Split and pass '\n' to it ('\n' == New Line)
