XPRBreadarrline Method (StreamReader, Int32, String, String[], Int32)

public int XPRBreadarrline(
	StreamReader fileStreamIn,
	int maxlen,
	string format,
	out string[] output,
	int numData
)

Public Function XPRBreadarrline ( 
	fileStreamIn As StreamReader,
	maxlen As Integer,
	format As String,
	<OutAttribute> ByRef output As String(),
	numData As Integer
) As Integer

Parameters

fileStreamIn

Type:  System.IOStreamReader
The open StreamReader to read the data from.

maxlen

Type:  SystemInt32
The maximum length of data to read.

format

Type:  SystemString
The format to read the data in. This is a string made up of the following formats, seperated by any seperating characters. The format must be exact with respect to spacing (if there are 0+ spaces between the entries then a space " " must be included in the format string). See the BCL example programs for examples of this.

• {g} - A double value.
• {i} - An integer value.
• {t} or {T} - A string value.
• {s} - A string within single quotes.
• {S} - A string within double quotes.

output

Type:  SystemString
The out array, in this case if all requested objects were strings you could use this function, otherwise use the more general function that outputs an object[] object.

numData

Type:  SystemInt32
The number of times to read the format string. For instance if the format string was "{s} , {S} ; {t} , " and the numdata=2 then the resultant format string to be read would be "{s} , {S} ; {t} , {s} , {S} ; {t}" as the method strips everything after the last occurence of "}".
