Question by Mold · Nov 20, 2012 at 08:44 PM · c#textfileread

Write and read text files with c#

I searched for some time now, I can't find a solution. How do I write and read text files with c#? (capture ever single line in it's own string)

Yep, reading and writing text files is part of c# natively, and has nothing to do with Unity.

Read this for examples of how to use StreamReader: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304430

Here is the documentation for streamreader and streamwriter. This shows you the constructors, properties, and methods as well as what namespace you need to use them.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.streamreader.aspx

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.streamwriter.aspx

Here is a youtube tutorial that demonstrates it's use in visual studio.
