C# Read two characters/numbers in a text file.

[Dodi300]

Hello.
Does anyone know how to read two characters/numbers in a text file?
I've been using this:

using (StreamReader rdr = File.OpenText("C:/cname.txt"))
            {
                int name = 0;
                name = rdr.Peek();
            }

That reads the first number in the file and stores it in 'name'.
However now I need to read the first two numbers in a text file, and store it in the variable 'name'.

Thanks for the help.

The Peek method returns an integer value in order to determine whether the end of the file, or another error has occurred. This allows a user to first check if the returned value is -1 before casting it to a Char type.
source StreamReader.Peek Method (System.IO)

For reading contents of text file use ReadLine() method
