        Process.Start("type filename"); :p

        On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. - Charles Babbage

            for heavens sake, when a hint is given to you you should at least try it. Anyway, I also was happy when people helped me with my probs, so here is my suggestion: private void InitializeStreamReader() { System.IO.FileStream fstream = System.IO.File.OpenRead(@"c:\test.dat"); System.IO.StreamReader sreader = new System.IO.StreamReader(fstream); string[] filecontent = sreader.ReadToEnd().Split('\n'); sreader.Close(); foreach (string contentTemp in filecontent) { Console.WriteLine(contentTemp); } } Here is a short explanation what is done in this example: A Filestream is created A Streamreader which uses the Filestream the streamreader reads all the content of the file an splits it by the new lines (every new line is a new element) these elements are used in a string array the streamreader is being closed and now to the interesting part: every line in the string array is being displayed via console.writeline Of course it can be done easier, but I think you´ll like it this way as well

                  With apologies, I just rotate through cool stuff I have copied and pasted in a sigs text file. Perhaps you can take it as a compliment rather than an offense :)

                    Oh no. I do take it as a compliment. I guess even the smilies around my very poor joke didn't work. (Since starting to work in Glasgow I'm picking up their very cynical sense of humour - And I move there next month so I guess it is going to get worse!)
