Read Text File and split them to individual text file

I have requirement, that i get one big chunk of text file. This text file
will have has information, that on finding "****End of Information**** ", i
have to split them individual text file with our naming standard (unique id)
and create them designated folder.

This requirement should be created as a batch job and preferrably this job
should monitor the folder where one big chunk of text file lands and process
them immediately.

\\Textfile\IN folder => one big chunk text file comes here by different
source

\\Textfile\Outp ut\yyyyddmm folder => i need to process (split) the text file
coming "IN" folder to different text files based on "End of Information"
delimiter.

I need to achieve this using dot net preferrably using Csharp. Pl. note that
i have recently started learning cSharp but has almost 6 years experience of
using Visual Basic & COM + etc.

Pl. throw any thoughts that you may want to share.

To tell you how the text file will look
unique ID : 999
Text blah blah blah blah......
something here..
some information ...
"****End of Information**** "
unique ID : 999
Text blah blah blah blah......
something here..
some information ...
"****End of Information**** "
unique ID : 999
Text blah blah blah blah......
something here..
some information ...
"****End of Information**** "

Thanks,
Krish

Read it in to a String
..Split() the string on ***eof*** into an array.
Loop the array and do your individual work.

Hello. I am trying to read a small text file using the readline statement. I can only read the first 2 records from the file. It stops at the blank lines or at lines with only spaces. I have a while statement checking for an empty string "" which I understand represents an EOF in Python. The text file has some blank lines with spaces and other with blanks. Thanks a lot.

I'm working on a data file and can't find any common delimmiters in the file to indicate the end of one row of data and the start of the next. Rows are not on individual lines but run accross multiple lines. It would appear though that every distinct set of data starts with a 'code' that is always the 25 characters long. The text is variable however. Assuming i've read the contents of the file into the string myfile, how do i split my...

Hello, I have a text report from a mainframe that I need to parse.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
