How to check user input for correct formatting
- by Arcadian
This is what i've come up with so far
private void CheckFormatting()
{
StringReader objReaderf = new StringReader(txtInput.Text);
List<String> formatTextList = new List<String>();
do
{
formatTextList.Add(objReaderf.ReadLine());
}
while (objReaderf.Peek() != -1);
objReaderf.Close();
for (int i = 0; i < formatTextList.Count; i++)
{
}
}
What it is designed to do is check that the user has entered their information in this format Gxx:xx:xx:xx JGxx where "x" can be any integer.
As you can see the user inputs their data into a multi-line textbox. i then take that data and enter it into a list. the next part is where i'm stuck. i create a for loop to go through the list line by line, but i guess i will also need to go through each line character by character. How do i do this? or is there a faster way of doing it?
thanks in advance
