C# textbox to Array

Question

I'm sure this is really simple to do but i'm struggling.

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        SaveBtn();


        void SaveBtn()
        {

            string savetext = textBox1.Text;
            string savetext2 = textBox2.Text;


            File.AppendAllText(@"C:\Riot Games\AccountSwitcher.txt", savetext + Environment.NewLine + savetext2 + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine);
            MessageBox.Show("Your ID: " + savetext + " and you PWD: " + savetext2 + " has been saved.");


        }

    }

As you can see i have 2 textbox and when i'm clicking the button "save" both input are saved into a file.txt. This code works like a charm but i'd rather save these 2 inputs into an array so i could use them individually.

Thanks your help, i'm pretty noob as you can see so please keep it simple :D <3

An array of what? char? strings? what would be the separator of the array? You gotta be more specific and demonstrate at least one try when making questions — Bruno Avelar

string[] saved = new string[] { textBox1.Text, textBox2.Text }; — ddrjca

Use:

string[] savetexts = new string[]{ savetext , savetext2 };

Alternatively, you could convert the entire string and save it in a char array.

char[] savetext = savetext.ToCharArray();
char[] savetext2 = savetext2.ToCharArray();

Hope this helps.!

P.S It is much easier to use a List instead of hard-coded arrays like above.

List<String> myStrings = new List<String>();
myStrings.add(savetext);
myStrings.add(saveText2);

.....etc

then to get them back you iterate over myStrings

foreach(String s in myStrings){
  Console.writeline(s);
}

Or you can access them directly

String text1 = myStrings[0];
String text2 = myString[1];

This is a bit more than what you are asking, but using List becomes much easier in the long run. Best of luck.
