O.P. c# Read text file
Okay, here's the situation:

In a C# program I need to read back a text file (from a fixed location) and check that the last character on the second to last line is a 0 and then return true or false.

It sounds so simple (and probably is for someone with semi-decent coding knowledge!), but I'm really struggling with how to accomplish it

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks :)



Also, if anyone knows how to Enable Windows Defender via C# that'd be a MASSIVE help too!

Thanks again :)

RE: c# Read text file
You could use File.ReadAllLines to read the contents of the file to an array of string, each element a line, and access the last char of the second-to-last line using lines[lines.Length-2][lines[lines.Length-2].Length-1] (a bit messy, hope you figure it out :P)

What he said but in code ;)

C# code:
String[] lines = File.ReadAllLines("C:\\thepath.txt");
Char thing = lines[lines.Length - 2][lines[lines.Length - 2].Length - 1];

Thanks, yeah, I'd just about managed to put it into code and get it working :)

If anyone can shed any light on the Windows Defender situation that'd also be much appreciated!
