Split text with '\r\n'

Question

I was following this article

And I came up with this code:

string FileName = "C:\\test.txt";  using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(FileName, Encoding.Default)) {     string[] stringSeparators = new string[] { "\r\n" };     string text = sr.ReadToEnd();     string[] lines = text.Split(stringSeparators, StringSplitOptions.None);     foreach (string s in lines)     {         Console.WriteLine(s);     } } 

Here is the sample text:

somet interesting text\n some text that should be in the same line\r\n some text should be in another line 

Here is the output:

somet interesting text\r\n some text that should be in the same line\r\n some text should be in another line\r\n 

But what I want is this:

somet interesting textsome text that should be in the same line\r\n some text should be in another line\r\n 

I think I should get this result but somehow I am missing something...

Answer 1

The problem is not with the splitting but rather with the WriteLine. A \n in a string printed with WriteLine will produce an "extra" line.

Example

var text =    "somet interesting text\n" +   "some text that should be in the same line\r\n" +   "some text should be in another line";  string[] stringSeparators = new string[] { "\r\n" }; string[] lines = text.Split(stringSeparators, StringSplitOptions.None); Console.WriteLine("Nr. Of items in list: " + lines.Length); // 2 lines foreach (string s in lines) {    Console.WriteLine(s); //But will print 3 lines in total. } 

To fix the problem remove \n before you print the string.

Console.WriteLine(s.Replace("\n", ""));

This worked for me.

using System.IO;  //        string readStr = File.ReadAllText(file.FullName);               string[] read = readStr.Split(new char[] {'\r','\n'},StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
