How many exceptions should I trap when reading a file ?
let me clarify...

c is my pointer to the processing line

I have this code:

public int ProcessFile(string[] file, int c)
{

if (c < file.Length && line.IsSegment(file[c]))
...



1. if file is null a reference to file c < file.Length will crash.
2. 5 lines on file and c index does not point to the rigth line (migth be
-10) crash.
3. file has 5 lines: when checking file.length c could have -1 (will pass)
but line.IsSegment(file[c])) will crash, correct?

is it good to use try-catch ?
then, there is no way to know whats going on .
file or index (or what else??)

am i missing any other exceptions?

Thanks

You should better check for those cases and do something if
appropiated.

Of course you can always catch Exception and be done with it :)
