Read large txt file multithreaded?

Question

I have large txt file with 100000 lines. I need to start n-count of threads and give every thread unique line from this file.

What is the best way to do this? I thin

Answer 1

Something like:

public class ParallelReadExample
{
    public static IEnumerable LineGenerator(StreamReader sr)
    {
        while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
        {
            yield return line;
        }
    }

    static void Main()
    {
        // Display powers of 2 up to the exponent 8:
        StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("yourfile.txt")

        Parallel.ForEach(LineGenerator(sr), currentLine =>
            {
                // Do your thing with currentLine here...
            } //close lambda expression
        );

        sr.Close();
    }
}

Think it would work. (No C# compiler/IDE here)
