TextReaderExtensions

Examples

TextReaderExtensions provides extension methods for TextReader including ReadAllLines, ReadAllLinesAsync, and CopyToAsync for reading and copying text content. This example creates a multi-line string "line one\nline two\nline three", converts it to a TextReader via ToTextReader, then calls ReadAllLines synchronously and ReadAllLinesAsync asynchronously to collect each line. It also uses CopyToAsync to write the reader content into a StringWriter. Console output confirms all three approaches produce the correct line count of 3 and that the copied content contains "line two".

            using var linesReader = input.ToTextReader();
            var lines = linesReader.ReadAllLines().ToList();

            using var asyncLinesReader = input.ToTextReader();
            using var writer = new StringWriter();
            var asyncLines = await asyncLinesReader.ReadAllLinesAsync();

            using var copyReader = input.ToTextReader();
            await copyReader.CopyToAsync(writer);

            Console.WriteLine(lines.Count);
            Console.WriteLine(asyncLines.Count);
            Console.WriteLine(writer.ToString().Contains("line two"));
        }
    }
}

Methods

Name	Description
CopyToAsync(TextReader, TextWriter, int)	Asynchronously reads the bytes from the reader and writes them to the writer.
ReadAllLines(TextReader)	Reads all lines of characters from the reader and returns the data as a sequence of strings.
ReadAllLinesAsync(TextReader)	Asynchronously reads all lines of characters from the reader and returns the data as a sequence of strings.
