Hi,

You have two question,
Answer for 1)
You need to read text file line by line and then split your text line by equal(=) sign and take 2nd value from returned Array object. but make sure you have only one equal sing in a line.

Answer for 2)
You can Remove content of text file by writing empty string in text file.

Hope you got the idea,

Best of luck
Thanks

Solution 2

You can read the file with a StreamReader[^] into a String[^] with the ReadLine()[^] method. You can then separate the two parts of the String with the Split()[^] method. The rest should be fairly easy for you to figure out.
