How best to read a File into List

Question

I am using a list to limit the file size since the target is limited in disk and ram. This is what I am doing now but is there a more efficient way?

readonly         


        

Answer 1

List lines = new List();
 using (var sr = new StreamReader("file.txt"))
 {
      while (sr.Peek() >= 0)
          lines.Add(sr.ReadLine());
 }
