How can I parse text file in C#. Help Is appreciated.

Answer 1

Start with this:

var lines = File.ReadAllLines("<your path/filename>");
var stringBags = lines.Select(l => l.Split('|'));
var objects = stringBags.Select(b => new {Id = b[0], Name = b[1], SomeOtherField = b[2]});

This gives you a way to parse the file, and to project it into some sort of object you can deal with

Answer 2

You could do a foreach loop for each line in the file and parse the string...

foreach (string line in File.ReadAllLines("filepath"))
