c# - Save sections of text data to arrays -

i have data looks has following format. i'd create new 2 column array each "ran" respective ran name after :.

ran:    efg    (space between : , e) 1       50     (tab delimited) 2       52     (tab delimited) 3       54     (tab delimited) ran:    pg2    (space between : , e) 1       40     (tab delimited) 2       60     (tab delimited) 3       80     (tab delimited) ran:    2      (space between : , e) 1       14     (tab delimited) 2       15     (tab delimited) 3       16     (tab delimited) 

so far, i've problem using following because gives me infinite loop, i'm not sure how else access string resulttext previous

public void opendvhtoolstripmenuitem_click (object sender, eventargs e){....}  public static string resulttext     {         { return resulttext; }     } 

secondly, i've got following far separate name of array-to-be.

 private void button1_click(object sender, eventargs e)     {         dictionary<string, list<string>> darray = new dictionary<string, list<string>>();          using (stringreader reader = new stringreader(resulttext))         {             string line;             string ran = "ran:";             string region = "";              while (null != (line = reader.readline()))             {                 if (line.contains(ran))                 {                     string[] splitheader = line.split(":".tochararray());                     region = splitheader[1].trim();                 }                else                {                    if (!line.contains(ran))                    {                        list<string> dlist = new list<string>();                        darray.add(region, dlist);                     }                  }              }             foreach (var item in darray)             {                 richtextbox2.appendtext(item + environment.newline);             }          }       } 

i have able call each array later , basic math on values both columns of numbers.

any suggestions?

this:

public static string resulttext {     { return resulttext; } } 

gives “infinite loop” because recursive; return resulttext calls public static string resulttext. this:

public static string resulttext { get; private set; }
