Displaying Data from text file in Table form

Question

Hi Guys I'm a newbie in c# programming and sideways working on some personal projects which help me to learn c# faster and with new ideas. So i'm stuck on a issue where i have a text file from which i need to retrieve some data and display on winform. ~ba~bcas~asdasda~~~~~^123~xxxxx~sas~asda~fsdf~^234~xxxx~asas~fdafd~dfsdf~fadsfads~^789~xxx so on... Above data is from my text file from which i need it to be displayed like this :- 123 xxxx 234 xxxx 789 xxxx I tried split but didn't getting any success. as i can get my hands on ^(Value) but not after that.. Can any body tell how to do it. Please and Thanks

Use regular expressions.. try this way : string test = ~ba~bcas~asdasda~~~~~^123~xxxxx~sas~asda~fsdf~^234~xxxx~asas~fdafd~dfsdf~fadsfads~^789~xxxx; MatchCollection mc = Regex.Matches(test @(? foreach (Match m in mc) { Console.WriteLine(m.Value.Replace(~ )); }

you can simply remove the ~ sign. using filetxt= filetxt.Replace(~);

I tried this before and it is like replacing so my new edited text is ~ba~bcas~asdasda~~~~~ 123~xxxxx~sas~asda~fsdf~ 234~xxxx~asas~fdafd~dfsdf~fadsfads~ 789~xxx so there is random ~~ text which is not required

String filetxt=File.ReadAllText(file.txt); String[] data=filetxt.Split(
 ^ ); foreach(var str in data){ richTextBox1.AppendText(str + 
); }

foreach (string line in File.ReadAllLines(data.txt)) { string[] abc = Regex.Split(line ^); richTextBox1.Text+=abc.ToString(); } I know pretty lame..
