Windows Phone development is not my thing but if you first need to read in the file from isolated storage I'd have thought you'd need code similar to this: IsolatedStorageFile myFile = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication(); StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(new IsolatedStorageFileStream(somefile.txt FileMode.Open myFile)); string text = reader.ReadToEnd(); reader.Close(); Assuming you can use regular expressions in Windows Phone programming you can then do: MatchCollection mc = Regex.Matches(text @\b\w+\b); int index = rand.Next(0 mc.Count); string randWord = mc[index].Value; and display randWord in a textbox or something.

Try this code: using System; using System.IO; using System.Text.RegularExpressions; class Test { static Random rand = new Random(); static void Main() { string text = File.ReadAllText(somefile.txt); MatchCollection mc = Regex.Matches(text @\b\w+\b); int index = rand.Next(0 mc.Count); Console.WriteLine(index); string randWord = mc[index].Value; Console.WriteLine(randWord); Console.ReadKey(); } }
