Add a new line at a specific position in a text file.

Question

I am trying to add a specific line of text in a file. Specifically between two boundaries.

An example of what it would look like if I wanted to add a line in between

Answer 1

This will add the line where you want it. (Make sure you have using System.IO; and using System.Linq; added)

public void CreateEntry(string npcName) //npcName = "item1"
{
    var fileName = "test.txt";
    var endTag = String.Format("[/{0}]", npcName);
    var lineToAdd = "//Add a line here in between the specific boundaries";

    var txtLines = File.ReadAllLines(fileName).ToList();   //Fill a list with the lines from the txt file.
    txtLines.Insert(txtLines.IndexOf(endTag), lineToAdd);  //Insert the line you want to add last under the tag 'item1'.
    File.WriteAllLines(fileName, txtLines);                //Add the lines including the new one.
}
