How to split a single Text TXT file by a string delimiter in C# .NET Framework

Splitting TXT files using delimiters is a great feature, but certainly not an easy one to implement in C#. To avoid the mountain of headaches that this can bring down upon you, we will be demonstrating a quick shortcut to get the same results. We will use an API.

Before we continue, let’s go ahead and grab our package:

Install-Package Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert -Version 3.2.8

Now we can go ahead with our function call, as you see here:

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Api;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Client;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Model;
namespace Example
{
public class SplitDocumentTxtByStringExample
{
public void main()
{
// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
Configuration.Default.AddApiKey("Apikey", "YOUR_API_KEY");
// Uncomment below to setup prefix (e.g. Bearer) for API key, if needed
// Configuration.Default.AddApiKeyPrefix("Apikey", "Bearer");
var apiInstance = new SplitDocumentApi();
var inputFile = new System.IO.Stream(); // System.IO.Stream | Input file to perform the operation on.
var splitDelimiter = splitDelimiter_example;  // string | Required; String to split up the input file on
var skipEmptyElements = true;  // bool? | Optional; If true, empty elements will be skipped in the output (optional)
try
{
// Split a single Text file (txt) by a string delimiter
SplitTextDocumentByStringResult result = apiInstance.SplitDocumentTxtByString(inputFile, splitDelimiter, skipEmptyElements);
Debug.WriteLine(result);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Debug.Print("Exception when calling SplitDocumentApi.SplitDocumentTxtByString: " + e.Message );
}
}
}
}

And done!
