C# IO discarding escape sequences

Hello Experts,

I am trying to load a template in c# as a text file. It works pretty well but I am running into problems because I am losing the escape sequences during the load. Can someone tell me how to load a text file that can include quotes? If there is better way to do this?

below you'll find a portion of the method I am working with:

using (StreamReader SR = new StreamReader(Data))
{
string line="";
while ((line = SR.ReadLine()) != null)
{
ProcessLine(line);
}
SR.Close();
SR.Dispose();
}

Thank you in advance!

After seeing both of your requests, I made up a file to demonstrate what was going on. The only problem is that the issue did not show up in the file I created. So that go t me thinking about the file I had originally used... I *did* cut and paste almost all of the file and then saved it as a text file. So before this goes any further, I think I will recreate the template manually first as there may have been something that slipped into the file with a paste...

James, you are probably correct. But after some thinking about my overall objective, I decided to make a tactical change. (ie, I wouldn't have to deal with working through some of the additional objectives if I made a strategic change now, lol)

I have abandoned the process for a better one and I am past this issue. Thank you all.

Fernando and Surendra, your responses helped me increase my perspective by having me go back to the basics and reexamine what I was doing. James, your response gave me insight and knowledge which I value.

Thank you all!
