Answer 2

Thanks for your response.

 Ya the file will have same format as above.

I need to get SectionID(1,2,3....)
Section Title(Section1,Section2,....)
Section Text.

If a Section has sub section it will be considered as Section Text only
Just we need to get the content of the section.

Answer 3

Well you can use IndexOf function of string to acheive this

Take contents of file in a string.

Get the position of Section1 string
Get the position of Section2 string

Now extract text between them

Progressively go on...

just not getting where to start and stucked here.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Answer 5

Ok , see if the file is big you can split the contents and process

Also you will need to modify the algo to get the position of Section(n)

and then on increasing n
