Last character in a memo field

Question

I am looping character through a memo field but I do not know how to stop the looping. Is there an End-of-field value like the EOF character? Is there a better way to determine the end of a memo field?

If you use foreach you don't need to worry about it...

        string memo = "test";
        foreach (var x in memo.ToCharArray())
        {
            // you code here
        }

I am not familar with the foreach function. What would be the target for the foreach? Can you give me an example? – Hal Metz Apr 15 '11 at 19:38
Why the use of `ToCharArray`? – Jim Mischel Apr 15 '11 at 20:16

I'm not sure what you mean by a "memo field." Do you mean a string? If so, then you can access the Length property:

string memo = "hello, world";
for (int i = 0; i < memo.Length; ++i)
{
    char c = memo[i];
    // do what you want with the character.
}

Or you can use the foreach as was suggested previously:

foreach (var c in memo)
{
    // do what you want with the character
}
