sorry - i'm a .net newbie so here goes...

-       i'm using a text file stream for input
-       my goal is to output the # of characters, words and sentences
-       instead of counting # of sentences i counted the # of lines in the file
-       i have partial solution for characters and words

any ideas?  here's my code
........
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;

class Class1
{
        //read a text file to perform string manipulation

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
                //open text file 
                FileStream inStream = new FileStream("filestream.txt", FileMode.Open);
                StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(inStream);
                
                //initialize counter for file data rows
                int linenum = 1;

                //read file and write contents to console
                for (string line = reader.ReadLine(); line != null;line = 
reader.ReadLine(), linenum++)
                        Console.WriteLine(line);
                        Console.WriteLine(linenum);

                // create array to hold all the characters file contents string(line),
                char[] tbArray = new char[50];

                //read string(line)  ** HELP ** this is where compile bombs
                StringReader strReader = new StringReader(line);
                strReader.Read(tbArray, 0);

                   // Display the output.
                   Console.WriteLine(tbArray);





        
                //close file
                reader.Close();
                strReader.Close();
        }
}
........
