I am reading a large text file in c# using stream reader. I need to split the string values after say 500 characters as my file could contain around 1000 characters and thereafter join those values while retrieving. Saving and retrieval is being to a windows store there.

What I have tried:

Core Code is as below:

using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(@"D:\test.txt"))
               {
                   // Read the stream to a string, and write the string to the console.
                   string line = sr.ReadToEnd();

Solution 1

Use Streamreader.Read[^] and you can specify exactly how many characters to read at a time.
