Split text with '\r\n'

Question

I was following this article

And I came up with this code:

string FileName = \"C:\\\\test.txt\";

using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(FileNam         


        

Answer 1

Reading the file is easier done with the static File class:

// First read all the text into a single string.
string text = File.ReadAllText(FileName);

// Then split the lines at "\r\n".   
string[] stringSeparators = new string[] { "\r\n" };
string[] lines = text.Split(stringSeparators, StringSplitOptions.None);

// Finally replace lonely '\r' and '\n' by  whitespaces in each line.
foreach (string s in lines) {
    Console.WriteLine(s.Replace('\r', ' ').Replace('\n', ' '));
}

Note: The text might also contain vertical tabulators \v. Those are used by Microsoft Word as manual linebreaks.

In order to catch any possible kind of breaks, you could use regex for the replacement

Console.WriteLine(Regex.Replace(s, @"[\f\n\r\t\v]", " "));
