Question

here is the code i’m using

        using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Open))
        using (StreamReader rdr = new StreamReader(fs))
        {
            while (!rdr.EndOfStream)
            {
                for (int z = 0; z < 2; z++)
                {

                    string[] lines = rdr.ReadLine().Split('|');
                    {
                        sb.AppendLine(";Re");
                        sb.AppendLine("@C PAMT " + lines[3]);
                        sb.AppendLine("@T " + lines[0]);
                        sb.AppendLine("@D @I\\" + lines[1]).Replace("I:\\", "");
                        sb.AppendLine(lines[2].Replace(";", "\r\n");
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(outputfilename, FileMode.Create))
        using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(fs))
        {
            writer.Write(sb.ToString());
        }

All i want is to either skip the first line of the StreamReader or skip the entire first stringbuilder. I thought the for would do it but it doesnt.

Note: i’d like to advoid a foreach.

Answer 1

Why not just read the first line and do nothing with it?

using (StreamReader rdr = new StreamReader(fs))
{
  rdr.ReadLine();
  ...

or if you don’t want to do that, have an outside variable i and test for i!=0
