    Rich text box in WPF

    Hey,

    I want to read every line out of a WPF richtextbox. I have the following code, but don't know how to proceed:
    Code:
                    string rtbContents = new TextRange(rtbPaths.Document.ContentStart, rtbPaths.Document.ContentEnd).Text;
                    foreach (string line in rtbContents.Split(/* new line */))
                    {
                        // Do something with every line that is not empty after trim
                    }
    How do I split on a return? (In vb winforms you have control keys, but I can't find it in a c# wpf app.)
    How do I trim the lines (and also remove the \r and other things)?

    Cheers

    Try this:
    Code:
    string rtbContents = new TextRange(rtbPaths.Document.ContentStart, 
        rtbPaths.Document.ContentEnd).Text;
    foreach (string line in rtbContents.Split('\n'))
    {
        if (line.Trim(' ', '\r').Length != 0)
        {
            // Do something with every line that is not empty after trim
        }
    }

    Ok, thnx a lot! Got it working. This is how I implemented it:

    Code:
                    string rtbContents = new TextRange(rtbPaths.Document.ContentStart, rtbPaths.Document.ContentEnd).Text;
                    foreach (string line in rtbContents.Split('\n'))
                    {
                        String trimmedLine = line.Trim(' ', '\r');
                        if (trimmedLine.Length > 0)
                        {
                            downloader.Files.Add(new FileDownloader.FileInfo(trimmedLine));
                        }
                    }
    I'm curious, is there a way in WPF to have a simple multi line text box without layout ect? I've messed around with textbox and textarea a little but didn't manage to achieve this.

    Cheers
