Extracting Data from a Text File in C#

I am relatively new to the C# language and need to extract data from a text
file. I would like to be able to search the file which is tab delimmited and
extract various fields. I have been using StreamReader to read the file but I
am not sure of the method that actually searches for relevant fields and then
extracts them.

This is my first time using text area boxes; in the past, I have used individual entry fields for each variable.

Hey there, i have a text file with a bunch of values scattered throughout it. i am needing to pull out a value that is in parenthesis right after a certain word, like the first time the word 'foo' is found, retrieve the values in the next set of parenthesis (bar) and it would return 'bar' i think i can use re to do this, but is there some easier way? thanks

Hi, I have quite a few .DAT data files that i need to extract the data out of.

I want to simply open the Word document via StreamReader and extract the text. Here's the problem, the users insist on leaving the "Track Changes" features on. Because of this, the raw text portion of the file contains the change history. I don't want the...
