How do I find the word in the text file?

Vulpes · Answer

If the file is not too big I'd load it into memory and then use a regular expression to find the word: using System; using System.IO; using System.Text.RegularExpressions; class Test { static void Main() { string filePath = dimitri.txt; string text = File.ReadAllText(filePath); string wordToFind = whatever; string regExp = @\b + wordToFind + @\b; MatchCollection mc = Regex.Matches(text regExp); Console.WriteLine({0} occurrence(s) of {1} were found mc.Count wordToFind); Console.ReadKey(); } }
