Thanks to Lee for the solution.
0 Lee, thank you for replying.
To answer your questions:
1. The config file is just a static text file. It does not change. It just has a few lines, all of which contain some basic expressions like "A0-1234", "X2-765823" etc.
I'm sorry but I did not really understand what you recommended in your first point. Could you please clarify ?
2. Even if I read the file into a string or read it to end, how will I be able to compare the entire input text file repeatedly with the search expressions stored in the string ?
Thanks.
0 Firstly: Does your config file change? if not use App.config and the System.Configuration library.
you can retrieve the settings with "ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings[""].ToString();".
for a count of the settings use: ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Count;
Secondly: Read the file into a string and add "\n" after each line is loaded or use read to end.
string sInFile = isr.ReadToEnd();
