Question

How can I skip lines in a text file that contain a semi-colon at the beginning of a line? I’m currently reading a text file in with server names which works fine. I want to throw a semi-colon at the beginning of a line to comment it out in case a server is going into maintenance mode.

Answer 1

var lines = File.ReadAllLines( path );
foreach( var line in lines )
{
    if( line.StartsWith( ";" ) )
    {
        continue;
    }
    else
    {
        // do your stuff
    }
}
