Return StreamReader to Beginning

Question

I\'m reading a file in line-by-line and I want to be able to restart the read by calling a method Rewind().

How can I manipulate my System.IO.Stre

Answer 1

The question is looking for some kind of StreamReader.Rewind() method. You are looking for StreamReader.BaseStream.Position = 0; which sets the reader back to the beginning so it can be read again.

StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("H:/kate/rani.txt");

Console.WriteLine(sr.ReadToEnd());

sr.BaseStream.Position = 0;

Console.WriteLine("----------------------------------");

while (!sr.EndOfStream)
{
    Console.WriteLine(sr.ReadLine());
}
