text file

[CsharpGuy]

I have a text file that i have to read and insert into a database table. The
files has over 30 lines of data in it, I need to start inserting data from
line 8 in the file. How can I start inserting the data from line 8 of my text
file? So from line 1-7 are read only (headers) and starting with line 8 needs
to be inserted into the table.

Hi,

you could use StreamReader which has ReadLine method. You could use it to
skip the first 8 lines, and then go about teading it line by line.

StreamReader.ReadLine
