Commands from text file

Here's one way of doing it using regular expressions to parse the command and then reflection to invoke the method:

using System;

using System.IO;

using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

using System.Reflection;

class Program

{

static void Main()

{

string command = File.ReadAllText("asheesh.txt");

string regExp = @"^(\w+)\.(\w+)$(.*?)$;$";

Match m = Regex.Match(command, regExp);

if(m.Success)

{

string className = m.Groups[1].Value;

string method = m.Groups[2].Value;

string argument = m.Groups[3].Value.Replace("\"", "");

Type t = Type.GetType("System." + className);

BindingFlags bf = BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.InvokeMethod;

t.InvokeMember("WriteLine", bf, null, null, new[]{argument});

Console.ReadKey();

}

}

The output, as required, is:
