I guess you're creating a Console application.

The Console.ReadLine() method reads information entered by the user via command line. There is no Console.ReadLine(String) method...because it doesn't make any sense.


What you will be most interested in is looking up how to use the File class and maybe the DirectoryInfo class as well.

The documentation on how to use both of these classes can be found in the MSDN library. This library is an extremely useful resource that you should refer to when ever you are developing any type of application using .NET. Please bookmark the library and check it before asking questions here :)
