+# Reading and Writing Files
+
+To open a file for reading or writing, we can use `System.IO.File`.
+
+```cs
+using (var stream = File.OpenRead("path\\to\\file.csv"))
+{
+}
+
+using (var stream = File.OpenWrite("path\\to\\file.csv"))
+{	
+}
+```
+
+These both return a `FileStream` for working with our file. Since our data is text, we will need to use a `StreamReader` and `StreamWriter` to read and write the text.
+
+```cs
+using (var stream = File.OpenRead("path\\to\\file.csv"))
+using (var reader = new StreamReader(stream))
+{
+}
+
+using (var stream = File.OpenWrite("path\\to\\file.csv"))
+using (var writer = new StreamWriter(stream))
+{	
+}
+```
+
+`StreamReader` and `StreamWriter` have shortcuts for doing this.
+
+```cs
+using (var reader = new StreamReader("path\\to\\file.csv"))
+{
+}
+
+using (var writer = new StreamWriter("path\\to\\file.csv"))
+{	
+}
+```
+
+CsvHelper doesn't know anything about your encoding, so if you have a specific encoding, you'll need to specify that in your stream.
+
+```cs
+using (var reader = new StreamReader("path\\to\\file.csv", Encoding.UTF8))
+{
+}
+
+using (var writer = new StreamWriter("path\\to\\file.csv", Encoding.UTF8))
+{	
+}
+```
+
+`CsvReader` and `CsvWriter` take a `TextReader` and `TextWriter` in their constructors. `TextReader` and `TextWriter` are `abstract` classes for reading and writing text. `StreamReader` inherits `TextReader` and `StreamWriter` inherits `TextWriter`, so we can use those with `CsvReader` and `CsvWriter`.
+
+```cs
+using (var reader = new StreamReader("path\\to\\file.csv"))
+using (var csv = new CsvReader(reader))
+{
+}
+
+using (var writer = new StreamWriter("path\\to\\file.csv"))
+using (var csv = new CsvWriter(writer))
+{	
+}
+```
