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!

c#'s readline will not leave any character behind when reading it from file.
Can you please give us the part of the file that is being read, in which some characters are getting missed?

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...
It can simply be a problem with the encoding. Try one of the alternative constructors, either the one that tries to detect encoding, or the one where you define a specific encoding. Try different encodings until you find the right one:
new StreamReader(data, True)
new StreamReader(data, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8)
new StreamReader(data, True)
new StreamReader(data, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8)
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.

Can you give an example of the file when stored in the file system and what happens to it after loading it into memory.
