    Hi,
    Is there anyway i can put my every entry of username in a file like this e.g. using any auto number generation with every entry

    1. Test
    2. Hello

    After i put them in a file like this i want to search and delete based on the numbers. e.g.

    Please enter the number to delete the data: 1
    "should delete the test from a file"

    Please help. As any suggestions and location of any website will also be helpful.

    Regards,

    For files you need to be doing the auto generation but for database you can always have the priviledge of using the database field.

    I am not saying you switched to dbs but just saying that you need to be doing it yourself.

    Read the file and get the last number. Increment it by one and then add one to it and save the next one. Remember when you delete it the record should go but not the numbers but it depends on your implementation requirement.

    The pseudo looks something like
    Code:
    File f = ReadFile();
    int i = LastNumberInputted(f);
    i++;
    SaveNextRecord(i,Data);

    Hi,
    Code:
    Console.WriteLine("Please Enter your username :");
                        int Counter = 0;
                        s = Console.ReadLine();
                        Counter = Counter + 1;
                        sw.WriteLine(Counter + " " + s);
                        sw.Write(sw.NewLine);
    
    
    1. Where to put while condition so it can read file and increment the counter?
    2. When every time i enter one name it comes out of getusername function and display the menu options again. How to prevent that?

    Regards,
