Hello, I'm trying to find a way to read a random line from a Pastebin
I was doing this blindly off a tutorial, and I thought I could read off a WebLink but then I remembered it only supports files. I was thinking of putting the Pastebin text into a .txt document but I think it is sorta Inefficient. So just to summarize I want to read a random line off a Pastebin Link/WebLink
EDIT:
Ok I fixed the code
It gives this error
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: 'Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index'
C#:
WebClient WC = new WebClient();
List<string> TEST = new List<string>();
Random Rand = new Random();
StreamReader testReader = new StreamReader(WC.DownloadString("Pastebin"));
string line = "";
while (!testReader.EndOfStream)
{
line = testReader.ReadLine();
TEST.Add(line);
}
button1.Text = TEST[Rand.Next(1, TEST.Count)];
