How do I loop over lines from a TextReader source
?
I tried
foreach (var line in source)
But got the error
foreach statement cannot operate on variables of type 'System.IO.TextReader' because 'System.IO.TextReader' does not contain a public definition for 'GetEnumerator'
string line;
while ((line = myTextReader.ReadLine()) != null)
{
DoSomethingWith(line);
}
You can use File.ReadLines
which is deferred execution method, then loop thru lines:
foreach (var line in File.ReadLines("test.txt"))
{
}

You can try with this code - based on ReadLine method
string line = null;
System.IO.TextReader readFile = new StreamReader("...."); //Adjust your path
while (true)
{
line = readFile.ReadLine();
if (line == null)
{
break;
}
MessageBox.Show (line);
}
readFile.Close();
readFile = null;
