Studying a bachelor on Web Development, I've written some code which reads a text file and adds the lines to my console program,
I'm stuck on how I would write the code to count the amount of lines the text file outputs?
I've only been coding for a couple of months, any help would be great! (code is below)
static void main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Welcome to reading from files");
TextReader tr = new StreamReader("C:/Temp/ReadingFromFile.txt");
String line;
while ((line = tr.ReadLine()) != null)
{
Console.WriteLine(line);
}
tr.Close()
Console.WriteLine("Press any key to continue...")
Console.ReadKey();
}

Your code should look like this:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Welcome to reading from files");
using (var sr = new StreamReader(@"C:\Temp\ReadingFromFile.txt"))
{
string line;
int count = 0;
while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
{
count ;
Console.WriteLine(line);
}
Console.WriteLine(count);
}
Console.WriteLine("Press any key to continue...");
Console.ReadKey();
}
As an alternative, you could do this:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Welcome to reading from files");
foreach (var line in File.ReadLines(@"C:\Temp\ReadingFromFile.txt"))
Console.WriteLine(line);
Console.WriteLine(File.ReadLines(@"C:\Temp\ReadingFromFile.txt").Count());
Console.WriteLine("Press any key to continue...");
Console.ReadKey();
}
