3,049 PointsProblem: "Did you pass the StreamReader constructor the 'fileName'?"
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Any idea what to do?
DirectoryInfo directory = new DirectoryInfo(System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory());
string fileName = Path.Combine(directory.FullName, "secretmessage.txt");
string currentDirectory = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
string fileName = new FileInfo(fileName);
if (fileName.Exists)
{
using (var reader = new StreamReader(fileName.FullName))
{
}
}

- the
fileName
is already created for you in the provided code - you only need to create the
reader
, testing for file existence is not part of the challenge - strings don't have a "FullName" attribute (or an "Exists" attribute)
- the
StreamReader
constructor will take the fileName directly
