Close is called in my example as well. Because the StreamReader is in a using statement .Dispose(); will be called after the using statement. And .Dispose(); will call close when needed.

You can simply read line with a StreamReader.ReadLine, this will give you a string when available; otherwise null. When you get a null value back, you know the end of the file it reached.

using(StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(@"c:\myfile.txt"))
{
string line = null;
int lineCounter = 0;

while( (line = reader.ReadLine()) != null)
{
// Higher the line counter with 1.
lineCounter++;

// TODO: Do something with the readed line.
}
}

hi,

many thx it working fine

i just wondering , every tutorial i saw it was closing the stream reader like for example reader.close(); but when i tried to close this stream it maked it as error

and also can i just use this as a counter without doing anything with data or the data will be in computer memory

i'm asking this for one reason i have 2 files in different languages (one english, other one arabic) i want to put them in a table (line number, arabic , english)

best regards
