Question

I have a text file…

HELLO
GOODBYE
FAREWELL

.. and two string variables, requested and newname.
I am trying to write a program, that removes ‘requested’ from the text file and adds ‘newname’. However I do not know the concepts and the code to do so. The only concept I can think of is adding all lines to an array then removing ‘requested’ from the array and adding ‘newname’ … but I don’t know the code.

I apologies if this is a stupid question, I am new to c#. Help is much appreciated. 🙂

Your idea should work fine.

Here’s a link on how to get the text file contents into a list collection.

Then you can use List.Add(“newname”); and List.Remove(“requested”);

No stupid questions btw, only stupid ppl to post complaints about it 😀
