Write code to loop over files, reading lines to find hidden text

This exercise is provided to allow potential course delegates to choose the correct Wise Owl Microsoft training course, and may not be reproduced in whole or in part in any format without the prior written consent of Wise Owl.

Before you can do this exercise, you'll need to download and unzip this file .

To avoid having to draw the form needed for this exercise, right-click on the name of your project in Solution Explorer then choose Add --> Existing Item... (you can also press SHIFT + ALT + A to do the same thing).

Choose only the file called frmHuntKilroy.cs in the above folder to import it into your project, then edit Program.cs to make this the default form. When you run your application, you should now see this:

Finding Kilroy

Click on the button to look for the word Kilroy hidden somewhere within a .cs code file.

You can now select the files in which you believe Kilroy to have gone missing:

Looking in files

Select these files, then click on the Open button to begin the search.

Hidden away in the code-behind file is the following code:

// loop over all files selected ...

foreach (string EachFile in dfoFile.FileNames)

{

// **************************************************

// AT THIS POINT EachFile holds the name of each file

// **************************************************

}

Remove the commented out code, and replace it with your code to:

Read in each of the selected files line by line.
If you find Kilroy, report on this; otherwise, just close the stream reader down.

This is what you should see when you run your program:

Finding Kilroy

Your message, of course, won't be censored like this ...

Phew - found him! You can now close down any open forms.

You can unzip this file to see the answers to this exercise, although please remember this is for your personal use only.
