XPRBprobXPRBreadarrline(StreamReader, Int32, String, String, Int32) Method

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  StreamReader

The open StreamReader to read the data from.

maxlen  Int32

The maximum length of data to read.

format  String

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  String

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  Int32

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 "}".

Return Value
