Hello everyone..

I am trying to decode the text below by reversing it.

,sdreh ni dam og yeht taht nees eb lliw ti ;sdreh ni kniht neM“
”.eno yb eno dna ,ylwols sesnes rieht revocer ylno yeht elihw
yakcaM selrahC

I used this code to do it.

     String reed = File.ReadAllText("DecodeThis.txt");
           char[] array1 = reed.ToCharArray();                
           Array.Reverse(array1);
           Console.WriteLine(array1);
           Console.ReadLine();

The problem with this code is that it reverse not only the charactors but also the lines.

I want the outcome to be

" Men think in hards: it will be seen taht they go mad in herds,
while they only recover their senses slowly, and on by one.
Charles Mackay"

NOT


"Charles Mackay
while they only recover their senses slowly, and on by one.?
?Men think in hards: it will be seen taht they go mad in herds"


How can i do that? please help

Read your file line by line instead of reading it all at once and apply the same logic

I know how to do it line by line using while loop but i was wondering if i could tweak my current code to achieve the same output as the while statement loop.

You could probably create an array of strings by splitting reed on the newline characters. You're still going to have to loop through it so you're only reversing the individual elements and not the array as a whole though.

Instead of using ReadAllText function use the ReadAllLines functions.it returns a string array.You can reverse eac individual array using the Array.reverse function on each array line.
