Going through a text file line by line in vb 2005

Question

So my program needs to go through a plain text file line by line essentially:

Read line 1: Do commands loop Read line2: Do Commands loop etc until its done with the entire file does anyone know any good coding examples for this, all the tutorials seem to show open and writing/reading textfiles but nothing on how to do it line by line.

Answer 1

You could do it like this:

Using f As System.IO.FileStream = System.IO.File.OpenRead("somefile.txt")
 Using s As System.IO.StreamReader = New System.IO.StreamReader(f)
  While Not s.EndOfStream
   Dim line As String = s.ReadLine

   'put you line processing code here

  End While
 End Using
End Using

Answer 2

For Each line As String In System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("file.txt")
  ' Do Something'
