Re: Question about the split function

Let me fix your code...
First of all if you are trying to parse a file which is less than 10 MB u
may use File.OpenText otherwise u should use StreamReader

public void ReadFromFile(string pFilename)
{
StreamReader sr = null;
String sLine;
String[] stringData;
try
{
sr = File.OpenText(pFilename);
while (sr.Peek()>=0)
{
sLine= sr.ReadLine();
stringData= sLine.Split(':'); // Only available with 2.0
if (stringData.Length > 1)
Console.WriteLine("{0}\t{1}",stringData);
}
}
finally
{
if (sr != null)
sr.Close();
}
}

Also, u can access "mybook" using stringData[1]
