reading file into array

[James]

i've a text file in the following format and i would like to read into this
array

text file
======
machine1
machine2

Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader("machines.txt")
dim line as string
Do

line = sr.ReadLine



Loop Until line Is Nothing

sr.Close()

How can i read line by line into this form of array :

dim strcomputer() as string = {"machine1", "machine2"}

James,

By not using the fixed array however the dynamic arraylist. (see inline 2
places in the code)

dim myArrayList as new Arraylist

Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader("machines.txt")
dim line as string
Do

line = sr.ReadLine myArrayList.Add(line)


Loop Until line Is Nothing

sr.Close()

I hope this helps,

dim myArrayList as new Arraylist (does not allow me to define using
the NEW word ..pls advise

etc
etc

myArrayList.Add(line)

 

[James]

sorry pls ignore my last question as it was a typo error

You could also use a StringCollection instead of ArrayList.
Depends on what you want to do with the data once
you're read it
