Question

Im trying to save a path into my input varaible, but its not reading my input! Im debugging and its completely skipping the line!

public static void OpenFile(int FileSize)
    {
        char GetLines = ' ';
        char[] FileContents = new char[FileSize];

        Console.WriteLine("Enter a Path Name: ");
        GetLines = (char)Console.Read();
        GetLines = (char)Console.Read(); // Getting No Input Y?

        StreamReader MyStream = File.OpenText(GetLines.ToString());


        while (GetLines != null)
        {
          Console.WriteLine(FileContents);
          GetLines = (char)MyStream.Read(); 
        }
        MyStream.Close();


    }

Everything else works fine. This function is being called in Main…
My Goals is still to try and read the contents of the file into an array.

THIS IS NOT A HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT! =)

You can achieve your goal using Console.Read().
