getting website text

[Carat1]

this code gets the pastebin text and puts it in a textbox. how can i make it read line by line instead of reading it all?
if i were to make my pastebin like this:
"1
2"
it reads it as "12"
i want it to read it as just 1

  using namespace System::Net;
  WebClient web;
  private: System::Void button1_Click(System::Object^  sender, 
System::EventArgs^  e) {
    textBox1->Text = web.DownloadString("http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=fPf1NBWB");
  }

Consider posting this in the Windows forum, given that you're not asking about standard C++.

Reading it line by line is more complicated. Consider slitting the string instead.

what if i were to get the text from a notepad then get the text from the notepad? would that be easier to make it read line by line?

[Carat1]

also if that's still complicated, how do i slit the string?

[Thomas1965]

Slitting a string is the easiest.

System::Void button1_Click(System::Object^  sender, System::EventArgs^  e) 
    {
      WebClient web;
      String^ buffer = web.DownloadString("http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/230330/");
      String^ sep = "\r\n";
      array<String^> ^lines = buffer->Split(sep->ToCharArray());
      if (lines->Length > 0)
        textBox1->Text = lines[0];
      else
        MessageBox::Show("Text empty");
    }

ohhh i didn't know it was that simple. thanks a lot!

Yes .NET makes many things very simple.

BTW. It might not work with all websites. Many websites are compressed so the whole text is in one gigantic line.
