I need to split this file and and put each block(One,tow and Three) in collection.

Are you successfully reading the text file?
Can you please be little more descriptive

Yes I am able to read text file. After reading I am putting text into string variable and after that I need separate each block

Solution 1

Since your file format is 'pretty regular' you don't even need Regex. You might separate each block just using the blank line as separator. Then (if you need just the numbers) you might process each block via String.Split (passing a blank or the colon character).

Tried with blank line as separator but no success. like String.Split(' ') :(

Solution 3

As you stated you are able to get the text data in string variable you try to split the string

C#

string[] splitter = { "One" };
string[] str = segment.Split(splitter, StringSplitOptions.None);

You can try something like above code. Hope this helps you, might need to tweak to et actual result.

Happy Coding :)

Hi YRishi,

You can split the text file using page break character.

Try this snippet for this

C#

StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(path)
string text = sr.ReadToEnd();
string[] lines = text.Split('\r');
foreach(string s in lines)
{
   // Consume
}

Hope this helps you a bit.

Regards,
RK
