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

string inLine = reader.ReadToEnd();
myList = inLine.Split(new string[] { "\r\n" }, StringSplitOptions.None).ToList();

I also use the Environment.NewLine.toCharArray as well, but found that didn't work on a couple files that did end in \r\n. Try either one and I hope it works well for you.
