I have a .txt file that is read in. I can get the whole file to read in and print in a gui box, but I need to be able to use text.split(). and convert the string to an int or float depending on what the value is. I have tried int.tryParse(); but it wouldn’t take the String[ ] from using the text.split() and I would also like to read in a line at a time.

I got it to separate each line into a string but i need to separate each line by commas. then still convert the string to a int to store it.

Oddly, just by searching for parseInt in the documentation, I get this:

Just split your split.

void ReadContents(string file)
{
    // split by newline
    string[] lines = file.Split(System.Environment.NewLine);
    foreach (string line in lines)
    {
        // split each line by comma
        string[] values = line.Split(',');
        foreach (string value in values)
        {
            // try to parse each comma-separated value to integer
            int intValue;
            if (int32.TryParse(value, out intValue))
            {
                // save the value or do
                // whatever else you want to do with the value
            }
        }
    }
}

Thanks KelsoMRK, that is exactly what I needed to do.
