Question

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;
public class Movies
{
    public string moviename { get; set; }
    public int cast { get; set; }
    public string[] castmember { get; set; }
    public override string ToString()
    {
        return string.Format("Movie: {0} \nCast #: {1} \nCast Member: {3}",
        moviename.ToString(),
        cast,
        castmember.ToString());
    }
}
public class MovieData
{
    public int NumberOfLines = 0;
    public string UserInput;
    public void ManageData()
    {
        string[] text = File.ReadAllLines("@File Path");
        NumberOfLines = text.GetUpperBound(0);
        Movies[] movies = new Movies[NumberOfLines];
        int i = 0;
        foreach (string line in text)
        {
            movies[i] = new Movies();
            movies[i].moviename = Convert.ToString(line.Trim());
            movies[i].cast = Convert.ToInt32(line.Trim());
            int ii = movies[i].cast;
            //Here I want to create a movies[i].castmember[ii] with ii being the length


}

I am trying to store data that is basically in line format, but there is a particular set of lines that would be more logical to store in an array.
How would I go about creating a movies[i].castmember array with length of ii (cast)?

I can notice some errors on your code.. for example you are converting the same line.Trim() value into string and Int32 but this is not the question..

I think you are asking how to create an array of ii elements..that’s it:

movies[i].castmember = new string[ii];
