Playing with text

[Guest greifedc]

Hello,

I am a new user, Not just to .net but to development all

together. I appriciate everyones patience eith my very

beginer questions. I need to manipulate large (10m) text

files. I have written some code to do this useing

streamreader to load file contents into a listbox then

manipulateing the text with the stringBuilder class. This

is veeeery slow. reading and manipating takes way to long.

Am I going about this all wrong?

I don't have time to look at your code, but the listbox is almost certainly the biggest slowdown in your code. Why do you need it?

I need to be able to display the text for user verification and input. Should I not be useing listbox?

TextBox would be more suited, surely?
