How to Read text file to DataTable [closed]

Answer 1

The below will execute the entire process as you outlined.

var table = new DataTable();

var fileContents = File.ReadAllLines("yourFile");

var splitFileContents = (from f in fileContents select f.Split(':')).ToArray();

int maxLength = (from s in splitFileContents select s.Count()).Max();

for (int i = 0; i < maxLength; i++)
{
    table.Columns.Add();
}

foreach (var line in splitFileContents)
{
    DataRow row = table.NewRow();
    row.ItemArray = (object[])line;
    table.Rows.Add(row);
}
