here's my code - thanks and truly greatful (i've been up all nite!):
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();
}
}

Can you show me the class you are working with at the moment again? I
don't see where you are calling string.length.

answer:
1) cs0103: the name 'line' does not exist in class/namespace AND cs1501:
no overload method for 'read' takes '2' arguments
2) it doesn't matter if spaces are counted
3) the text file i'm referencing is 1KB
reply to comments:
- my code includes a StreamReader to read the entire text file into a
string
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++)
- i received compile errors when i tried to invoke the String.Length
function
thanks again for your help!!

OK, questions:
1) What is the error that you are getting?
2) Are spaces considered characters?
3) What is the longest text file that will be read?
Next, comments:
If it's a relatively short text file (I think anything under a million
characters is reasonable [1 Mb?], anybody else is welcome to chime in
here on this) then I would read the entire text file into one string and
then parse it. The way I would parse it is this:
1) Characters are easily counted if spaces are counted as well.
String.length(). If spaces are not counted, then either count the
number of spaces in the string and substract it from the length or do a
string.replace() on the string until all of the spaces have been
eliminated. Don't do this until the end so you don't mess up the words.
2) I think that you can consider words to be anything that is between a
space. Therefore, the number of words you have is (number of spaces -
1).
3) Sentences should be equal to the number of periods, question marks,
and exclaimation points as long as they each have a space after it.
Examples:
"You're doing what???" = 1 sentence because of the space after the last
question mark
"I want to go to the fair (the one where Sally won't be there!) and eat
popcorn." = 1 sentence because the exclaimation point does not have a
space after it.
"I think that object.method will work." = 1 sentence
Hope it helps.
