Question

My objective is to read a text file and display the content in a table.
I have been through a lot of forum and goggling and still couldnt find a solution.

My Table format:

<table >

   <`tr>

      <`td>

         Australia

      <`/td>

      <`td>

         <`table>

            <`tr>

               <`td>

                  1

               <`/td>

            <`/tr>

         <`/table>

       <`/tr>

<`/table>

My TextFile look like:

Australia = 1,1,2,2

Malaysia = 1,1,1,2,2,2

Singapore = 1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2

My Reading code:

        string path = @"..\TestFile.txt";
        char token = ',';
        char token2 = '=';

        string[] lines = File.ReadAllLines(path);

        Response.Write("<table>");
        foreach (string line in lines)
        {
            string[] country = line.Split(token2);
            string[] image = line.Split(token);
            string row = "<tr><td>" + country + "</td>" +"<table><tr>";
            Response.Write(row);
            for (int i = 0; i < image.Length; i++)
            {   

                string row2 = "<td>" + image[i] +"</td>";
                Response.Write(row2);
            }
            Response.Write("</tr></table>");
        }
        Response.Write("</tr></table>");

my result:

System.String[]
Australia = 1   1   2   2
System.String[]
Malaysia = 1    1   1   2   2   2
System.String[]
Singapore = 1   1   1   1   2   2   2   2

and what i want to achieve :

Australia    1     1    2    2

Malaysia     1     1    1    2    2    2

Singapore    1     1    1    1    2    2    2    2

any help would be appreciated . Thanks!

Answer 1

If I understood problem correctly, try to do like this:

string[] country = line.Split(token2);
string[] image = country[1].Split(token); //<- take string after = symbol, and split it
string row = "<tr><td>" + country[0] + "</td>" +"<table><tr>"; //<- take first string before = symbol
