copied!<p>This is a console unit conversion program which takes in a measurement unit (such as pounds, ounces) specified by the user, followed by a second measurement unit, and finally a value to convert from one unit to the other.</p> <pre><code>string userUnit1, userUnit2 = ""; int userValue = 0; </code></pre> <p>The units that can be used are specified in a text file, the contents of which are split into a string array (called 'units') in the program. The text file also contains the 'conversion value' between the two units. In the text file, they appear like so: ounce,gram,28.0 (since there's 28 grams in one ounce, this value is also put into the array).</p> <p>The units that the user enters are checked with the following snippet of code:</p> <pre><code>double result = 0; if (units.Contains(userUnit1) && units.Contains(userUnit2)) { //??? Something like: //result = userValue */ value in the array element; } </code></pre> <p>The basic IF statement above checks the array for the units that the user enters, and what I want to do is use the conversion value in that array element to convert the number that the user entered. How would I go about this?</p> <p>EDIT: This is the code for storing the split text into the array.</p> <pre><code>using (read = new StreamReader("C:/Users/Sam Smith/Desktop/convert.txt")) { while (!read.EndOfStream) { lineFromFile = read.ReadLine(); lineFromFile.Split(' '); foreach (int i in lineFromFile) { count++; if (count % 3 == 0) { units.Add(lineFromFile); } } } } </code></pre>
