Read numbers from a text file in C#

Question

This is something that should be very simple. I just want to read numbers and words from a text file that consists of tokens separated by white space. How do you do this in

Answer 1

I like using the StreamReader for quick and easy file access. Something like....

  String file = "data_file.txt";    
  StreamReader dataStream = new StreamReader(file);   
  string datasample;
  while ((datasample = dataStream.ReadLine()) != null)
  {

     // datasample has the current line of text - write it to the console.
     Console.Writeline(datasample);
  }
