    text
    copied!<p>Today i found out why this problem occurs or how this problem occurs during reading line by line from text file using C# ReadLine(). </p> <p>Problem : </p> <p>Assume there are 3 lines in text file. Each of which has length equals to 400.(manually counted) while reading line from C# ReadLine() and checking for length in Console.WriteLine(str.length); I found out that it prints:</p> <pre><code>Line 1 =&gt; 400 Line 2 =&gt; 362 Line 3 =&gt; 38 Line 4 =&gt; 400 </code></pre> <p>I was confused and that text file has only 3 lines why its printing 4 that too with length changed. Then i quickly checked out for "\n" or "\r" or combination "\r\n" but i didn't find any, but what i found was 2 double quotes ex=> "abcd" , in second line.</p> <p>Then i changed my code to print lines itself and boy i was amaze, i was getting output in console like :</p> <pre><code>Line 1 &gt; blahblahblabablabhlabhlabhlbhaabahbbhabhblablahblhablhablahb Line 2 &gt; blablabbablablababalbalbablabal"blabablhabh Line 3 &gt; "albhalbahblablab Line 4 &gt; blahblahblabablabhlabhlabhlbhaabahbbhabhblablahblhablhablahb </code></pre> <p>now i tried removing the double quotes "" using replace function but i got same 4 lines result just without double quotes.</p> <p>Now please let me know any solution other than manual edit to overcome this scenario. Here is my code simple code:</p> <pre><code>static void Main(string[] args) { FileStream fin; string s; string fileIn = @"D:\Testing\CursedtextFile\testfile.txt"; try { fin = new FileStream(fileIn, FileMode.Open); } catch (FileNotFoundException exc) { Console.WriteLine(exc.Message + "Cannot open file."); return; } StreamReader fstr_in = new StreamReader(fin, Encoding.Default, true); int cnt = 0; while ((s = fstr_in.ReadLine()) != null) { s = s.Replace("\""," "); cnt = cnt + 1; //Console.WriteLine("Line "+cnt+" =&gt; "+s.Length); Console.WriteLine("Line " + cnt + " =&gt; " + s); } Console.ReadLine(); fstr_in.Close(); fin.Close(); } </code></pre> <p>Note: i was trying to read and upload 37 text files of 500 MB each of finance domain where i always face this issue and has to manually do the changes. :(</p>
