How to read the data in the .txt file from 4 different paths

As Ak

I need to read the data in the .txt file in the folders from 4 different paths. I've done the code, but it only read the data from the first folder.

How can I read the data in the folder from different paths?

This is my code:

Do it like below
    private void readData()
    {
    string[] Comp = new[] { "A001", "A002", "A003", "A004" };

foreach(var item in Comp){
    string Path = $@"Z:\IT\Shares\PC\PC-{Comp}\SS\Data\{item}_DataFile.txt";

    //read and get details
    var data = File
    .ReadAllLines(Path)
    .Select(x => x.Split('='))
    .Where(x => x.Length > 1)
    .ToDictionary(x => x[0].Trim(), x => x[1]);
    Console.WriteLine("Name: {0}", data["Name"]);
    Console.WriteLine("Age: {0}", data["Age"]);
    }

}

It only read the data from the first folder because you have asigned string Comps= Comp[0];

You need to write your code inside a "for loop" and assign Comps with all the values in Comp array.

Also your line should be string Path = $@"Z:\IT\Shares\PC\PC-{Comps}\SS\Data\{Comps}_DataFile.txt";
