Question

I have a simple .txt file with X,Y-values in it. It is structured like this:

-25.7754  35.87

-22.1233  32.16

-20.361   30.75 

etc.

I am able to read single lines or the whole text to the end, with objstream.ReadToEnd(); & objstream.ReadLine().
But here’s my question how could I indicate when the String after the first value ends so I can save/parse it to float & proceed reading the value of the next string?

Here is the read functionality I have so far 🙂

StreamReader objStream = new StreamReader("C:blablabla\\Text.asc");
            textBox1.Text = objStream.ReadLine();

Thanks in advance,

Use String.split()

As requested, an example :

string s = "there is a cat";
//
// Split string on spaces.
// ... This will separate all the words.
//
string[] words = s.Split(' ');
foreach (string word in words)
{
    Console.WriteLine(word);
}

The output is :

there
is
a
cat
