How to read this file and load into an Array

Thank you

Answer

var fileContent = File.ReadAllText(fileName);
var array = fileContent.Split((string[])null, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

if you have numbers only and need a list of int as a result, you can do this:

var numbers = array.Select(arg => int.Parse(arg)).ToList();
