How to parse mt940 file by using regex or Raptorious.SharpMt940Lib?

Question

how can I parse a mt940 file without error by using regex or Raptorious.SharpMt940Lib?

below codes returned to me error :

  var header = new Raptorious.SharpMt940Lib.Mt940Format.Separator("STARTUMSE");
        var trailer = new Raptorious.SharpMt940Lib.Mt940Format.Separator("-");
        var genericFomat = new Raptorious.SharpMt940Lib.Mt940Format.GenericFormat(header, trailer);

        using (var fileStream = new FileStream(@"C:\test\ex.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
        {
            TextReader tr = new StreamReader(fileStream);
            var parsed = Raptorious.SharpMt940Lib.Mt940Parser.Parse(genericFomat, tr);
        }

Error :

An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.InvalidDataException' occurred in Raptorious.SharpMt940Lib.dll
Additional information: Can not find trailer!

I think the error message is fairly obvious. Your library is looking for the string that designates the end of the message (which you specified as '-') and it can't find it in your sample data. And according to http://martin.hinner.info/bankconvert/swift_mt940_942.pdf, your sample data doesn't look like standard mt940. — villecoder, Jun 17 '16 at 14:16

The library expects a mt940 file to have both a header and a footer. In your sample the file contains neither.

In your configuration the file should look like:

STARTUMSE
