Message: [QUOTE="samshiell, post: 7572, member: 1066"] Hi When using StreamReader how can you reset the "pointer" to the beginning? I'm reading some lines then, when a certain condition is met I want to read the whole file. I've tried setting the [size=2]BaseStream.Position = 0 but that acheives nothing.[/size] [size=2]This is my (extremely simplified) code....[/size] [size=2][size=2]fReadIn = [/size][size=2][color=#0000ff]New[/color][/size][size=2] StreamReader(strFileName)[/size] strLine = fReadIn.Readline strLine = fReadIn.Readline ''.... various stuff and conditions happen here [size=2]fReadIn.BaseStream.Position = 0[/size] [size=2]strFileContents = fR.ReadToEnd[/size] [size=2] [/size][size=2]Any ideas?[/size] [size=2]Thanks[/size] [size=2]Sam [/size][/size] [/QUOTE]
