Question

My application is in C#.I read the file using streamreader.readline() method.In that file Address is read by streamreader is only half line out of entire address.

Is there any limitation on commas in one line while reading through streamreader because when i am removing 4th comma in line then entire line was read by streamreader.

Please help me.

Looking over the documentation for streamreader's ReadLine() function, there does not seem to be a limitation related to commas. It will take the entire next line of whatever is next in the stream, so it does not care about commas, but about linefeeds and newlines (which are '\r' and '\n' respectively).

So if the problem is that it is only receiving half of the address, then it is probably because the address looks something like this:

1234 Somewhere Rd.,

Nashville, TN,

98765

With this specific example, that address would count as 3 separate lines.

To fix this, if you need the address all in one line, you could concatenate the lines together with something like the following:

var reader = new StreamReader(yourStreamHere);

string address = "";

while(reader.Peek() >= 0) {

address += reader.ReadLine();

}

Naturally, the conditional statement in your loop will vary depending on how exactly you are retrieving the addresses.

Hope this helps!
