Reading text file problem

[Tim Kelley]

I am using a streamreader to read a one line text file. The line looks like
this:
"99999","04/30/2007","XXXXXXXX","XXXXX, XX","XX",""

When the line is read in I get this: i

"\"99999\",\"04/30/2007\",\"XXXXXXXXXX\",\"XXXXXX, XX\",\"XX\",\"\""


I don't get where all the \ are coming from. Is there a different method I
should be using to read the file? I tried to remove them using replace, but
it didn't work.

Thanks.

They're coming from you looking at the string in the debugger - they're
not in the actual string.
