Question

I am looking for a way in C# to input a text file and output an xml. After some searching, I have found ways to input strings and output as xml, and by hand input some text into a C# source code, and output as xml, but not to import a text file and output. I need this as I have an application that saves some computer-specific info to a txt file. I would like to make a C# program that takes this .txt and outputs it as .xml . All .txt files will have the same format. If possible I would like it to output to something like:

<Data>
    <Info>#</Info>

All the contents of the text file would output into the # area. Thank you for the help!

Assuming you need to add xml element for every line in txt, you can write similar to following (XLINQ).

String[] data = File.ReadAllLines("TextFile.txt");
XElement root = new XElement("root",
                            from item in data
                            select new XElement("Line",item));
root.Save("XmlFile.Xml");

Output

    <root>
    <Line>Hello</Line>
    <Line>World</Line>
    </root>
