  Create a Text file then Turn Off the Word Wrap Property Using C#

  Apr 29, 2020 03:58 AM|ManyTitles|LINK

  I am trying to create a text file and the turnoff the Word Wrap property of the created file. The following is what I'm trying to use to create my text file:

  string path = @"C:\My_Folder\my_file.txt";
  StreamWriter sw = File.CreateText(path);

  However, the strings are wrapping when they are too long to be displayed on one line. Is there any way to turn off the Word Wrap property using C#?

  A text file does not have a word wrap property.  It is a characteristic of the program that you use to read the file.  If you are using Notepad then go to the Format menu to toggle Word Wrap on and off.

  Hi ManyTitles,

  ManyTitles

  However, the strings are wrapping when they are too long to be displayed on one line. Is there any way to turn off the Word Wrap property using C#?

  According to your description, I made a demo, but the string did not wrap.

  <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClick="Button1_Click" />
  protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
          {
              string path = @"C:\Users\Samwu.WICRESOFT\Desktop\1.txt";          
              if (!File.Exists(path))
              {
                  using (StreamWriter sw = File.CreateText(path))
                  {
                      sw.WriteLine("1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111");
                      sw.WriteLine("2222222222222222222222222222222222222222222");
                      sw.WriteLine("3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333");
                      sw.WriteLine("1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111");
                      sw.WriteLine("2222222222222222222222222222222222222222222");
                      sw.WriteLine("3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333");
                  }
              }
              using (StreamReader sr = File.OpenText(path))
              {
                  string s = "";
                  while ((s = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
                  {
                    Response.Write(s);
                  }
              }
          }

  The result:
