A bit confusing.
You say you want to find 2605, but in the code snippet you look for 2036.
Maybe it is a typo, but it also COULD be why your code doesn't work.

Solution 1

The simple way:

C#

string s = File.ReadAllText(pathToINIFile);
if (s.Contains("2036="))
   {
   // Found it...

hi thanks for the answer but me i want just the number 2036 not 2036=

OriginalGriff 26-May-16 14:21pm

And you can't work out how to remove the equals sign?
I'm tempted to suggest that this is the wrong career for you... :sigh:

Look OriginalGriff,
How people expect EXACT output from us and do not take effort to replace = sign :)

koolprasad2003 27-May-16 2:36am

Just replace '2036' with your input number, do not remove "=" sign, as your number may repeat in other place.

Solution 2

Try this:

C#

string value = File.ReadAllText(@"C:\file.txt");

if (value.Contains("2036"))
{
  System.Console.WriteLine("trouvé");
}

big thanks it works :)

Then my solution is: just rename your .ini files to .txt files !

Richard Deeming · Answer 3 · 2016-05-26T08:53:00

Alternatively, a version that doesn't require you to read the whole file into memory at once:

C#

foreach (string line in File.ReadLines(pathToFile))
{
    if (line.Contains("2036"))
    {
        Console.WriteLine("trouvé");
        break; // No need to keep searching
    }
}

File.ReadLines Method (String) (System.IO)[^]

You could use Windows API to read structured INI file

VB

Private Declare Ansi Function GetPrivateProfileString Lib "kernel32.dll" Alias "GetPrivateProfileStringA" (ByVal lpApplicationName As String, ByVal lpKeyName As String, ByVal lpDefault As String, ByVal lpReturnedString As StringBuilder, ByVal nSize As Integer, ByVal lpFileName As String) As Integer

Your file must structured like this:

[SECTION1]
2036=kl

[SECTION2]
2000=ss

And then use:

VB

 Public Const MAX_ENTRY As Integer = 32768
[...]
 Dim sSection as string = "SECTION1"
 Dim sParameteras string = "2036"
 Dim sDefVal as string = ""
 Dim sb As New StringBuilder(MAX_ENTRY)
 Dim iRet As Integer = GetPrivateProfileString(sSection, sParameter, sDefVal, sb, MAX_ENTRY, sFile)

 Debug.print (sb.ToString())

The code is in VB but you could do in c# on same way
