namespace measurementConverter { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { //read in the file StreamReader convert = new StreamReader("../../convert.txt");

        //define variables
        string line = convert.ReadLine();
        int conversion;
        int numberIn;
        float conversionFactor;

        Console.WriteLine("Enter the conversion in the form (amount,from,to)");
        String inputMeasurement = Console.ReadLine();
        string[] inputMeasurementArray = inputMeasurement.Split(',');

        while (line != null)
        {
            string[] fileMeasurementArray = line.Split(',');
            if (fileMeasurementArray[0] == inputMeasurementArray[1])
            {
                if (fileMeasurementArray[1] == inputMeasurementArray[2])
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("{0}", fileMeasurementArray[2]);
                }
            }

            line = convert.ReadLine();

            //convert to int
            numberIn = Convert.ToInt32(inputMeasurementArray[0]);
            conversionFactor = Convert.ToInt32(fileMeasurementArray[2]);

            conversion = (numberIn * conversionFactor);
        }



        Console.ReadKey();

    }
}

}

Hello, I am trying to get the calculating going. On the line conversionFactor = Convert.ToInt32(fileMeasurementArray[2]);, I am getting an error saying "Input string was not in correct format". Please help!

The text file consists of the following: ounce,gram,28.0 pound,ounce,16.0 pound,kilogram,0.454 pint,litre,0.568 inch,centimetre,2.5 mile,inch,63360.0
