Read each line in file and put each line into a string

Question

I have a text file that I want to read in and put each line from the file into its own string. So the file will have 4 lines:

2017-01-20
05:59:30

Answer 1

You may want to consider using the File.ReadAllLines() method which will store each line of your file into an array :

var lines = File.ReadAllLines(FileName);

You could then access each of your properties by their indices as needed :

string Date = lines[0];
string Time = lines[1];
string Phone = lines[2];
string JobNo = lines[3];
string Name = lines[4];
