[Solved] Streamreading text files

You are mistaken to think it is reading the first line. In fact, your current code reads the first value of each line. Due to your input this just happens to be a similar output to what the first line would be, which has lead to your confusion.

Your main loop should be looping through each line, then you can process the line and loop through each value. Which you can then use however you want.

Here is an example:

using(System.IO.StreamReader file = new System.IO.StreamReader(@"C:\Text\TextFile.txt"))
{
    int loadX = 0;
    int loadY = 0;
    string line;

    // Loop through each line as you read it.
    while ((line = file.ReadLine()) != null)
    {
        // Split the line to get an array of values.
        string[] entries = line.Split('.');

        // Loop through each value and process.
        for(int i = 0; i < entries.length; i++)
        {
            string entry = entries[i];

            // TODO: Do something with entry.

            loadY++;
        }

        loadX++;
    }
}

Obviously in this example loadX and loadY are not being used, but this demonstrates how to correctly increment them so you can use them as needed.

TIP: When using a SteamReader you should ensure you dispose of it correctly, this is best done by including it in a using block.
