Solution 3

Easiest way is to use a CSV reader - C# CSV Reader and Writer[^] for example - and configure it for a TAB instead of a COMMA as the separator value.

Alternatively, just read all the lines into an array of strings, and use String.Split to break up each line in a loop.

Solution 1

Have a look at this codeproject article Fill a DataSet from delimited text files[^]

How you write the data out is up to you ...e .g. textwriter[^]
