❔ Text file
So I am wondering how this works, so I am calling a textfile and then splitting it into multiple and checking if the user input is anywhere in the textfile but havent done it because I dont really understand how and if the split function works for multiple lines
and my code wouldnt fit so

i updated it, i have all the split variables in one so can i call it from outside to get the user input and check if it matches anay\
Fyren2/9/2023
So what exactly is your question? You're on the right path, but I would prefer to not use
foreach personally.Himal2/9/2023
so i was hoping to split the text file with ; and ask a user to input the appliance id whichis the first part of the text file the numbers and if that number is in then it will say accepted and if not it will say rejected
mtreit2/9/2023
Consider making a class or record to represent each appliance instead of just using a bunch of free floating variables.
mtreit2/9/2023
Then you can put those into some data structure to allow lookup by various attributes.
mtreit2/9/2023
A
List<Appliance> being a simple starting point if you know the data will not be large.Himal2/9/2023
string<Apps> Apps = new List<Apps>();Himal2/9/2023
string<Apps> Apps = new List<Apps>();
foreach (string line in lines);
{
string[] items = lines.split(";");
Apps id = items[0];
string name = items[1];
string value = items[2];
Apps.Add(id)
}kinda like this?
Himal2/9/2023
or remove it from foreach?
mtreit2/9/2023
string<Apps>...well that's not a thing
mtreit2/9/2023
Do you know how classes work?
Himal2/9/2023
kinda
Himal2/9/2023
oh so we gotta call one of the classes made and not a new one
Himal2/9/2023
so appliance
